1
00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.320
What a night for Kansas, What
a night for college basketball? Alan Fieldhouse,

2
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:09.759
You are the best Landon. You
were there. I have to lead

3
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:15.560
off with you. How was the
atmosphere at the fog It was spectacular,

4
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:18.839
I mean, and it always is
usually very very good, of course,

5
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:24.600
but yeah, I mean there was
a feeling that I got anyway that Kansas

6
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:27.039
the fans, I mean, obviously
the team as well, but the fans

7
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:31.640
really seemed to want this one over
Yukon, and that definitely came out when

8
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:37.039
Kansas opened the game very hot and
was leading sixteen to five, they had

9
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:42.479
Yukon had the under sixteen timeout,
and then Dan Hurley was forced to take

10
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:46.759
a time out shortly thereafter because the
building was absolutely rocking and he had to

11
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:50.799
call the momentum. And it felt
a lot closer to the under four time

12
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:55.119
out in second half than it did
the under sixteen in the first in that

13
00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:58.439
building. Early obviously you commented a
game and it got a little more tense,

14
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.640
But yeah, the atmosphere one of
the better atmospheres that I've been at

15
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.200
in allenfield House. That definitely sounds
right. It was on TV. Nick,

16
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.439
I'm sure you and I can both
confirm it sounded loud. Yeah,

17
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.879
it sounded very loud on TV.
It was nuts. Every single shot sounded

18
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.760
like a game winner on TV.
And it was a huge result for the

19
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:23.040
Jayhawks who take down the defending champion
Huskies to continue their their winning ways.

20
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:25.840
I want to say ignited winning streak. They're already on a winning streak,

21
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:29.519
but man, that's gonna propel them
into a string of dubs coming up.

22
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.439
The defense was great, the clutch
shooting was great. We've been waiting to

23
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:36.920
see some three point shooting. And
then there are also plenty of things that

24
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:40.879
we can sit here and wonder about
and ask if they're gonna get better.

25
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:42.760
So oh in all, a really
good game from a talking point perspective,

26
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:47.319
and an excellent one for the resume. This is inside the paint. Welcome

27
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.159
to December. Best month of the
whole year, almost that whole wide world.

28
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:53.719
But yes, I'm Ryan Landreth.
I'm the man that is here to

29
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:59.519
tell Nick he is wrong about his
Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift takes in diamand

30
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.439
Travis kill I forgot that you weren't
on the last show. Okay, we'll

31
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.719
go ahead and get that out in
the open. Here Nick said on the

32
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:09.879
last show, Taylor Swift is an
untalented Uh what is that? Taylor Swift

33
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:13.960
is untalented and Olivia Rodrigo can sing
just as well, And I went,

34
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.680
I didn't mean that. I didn't
mean it that way. I was gonna

35
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:23.240
be provocative and saying that Taylor Swift
overrated. Oh you're gonna get that's a

36
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.360
little bit true. She's a little
overrated. I liked some of her music,

37
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:30.639
but Olivia Alrigo is not good and
nobody is who is who is as

38
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:35.400
good as Taylor Swift at this point. I mean, yeah, talent and

39
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.680
songwriting wise, in the modern pop
landscape and no money, does anyone make

40
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:44.599
good music anymore? Though, yes, Taylor Swift, it just doesn't get

41
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:46.319
played on the radio. But yes, that's what I'm talking about. I'm

42
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:50.080
talking about pop music. Does anyone
make good music anymore? In the answers

43
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.199
probably know well, you know what
is good music? That is what they

44
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:58.000
were playing over the allen Field House
loud speakers, because you know, whenever

45
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.560
they hit you with the hum for
the pre tip song, you know you're

46
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:05.240
in for a wild night. Let's
talk all about a Top five showdown between

47
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:15.879
the last two national champions. Number
five Kansas what else sixty nine points woo

48
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:24.319
Number four Yukon sixty five. This
was an insane atmosphere and a dominating defensive

49
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:29.879
performance, but despite that, Kansas
only led the Huskies by seven at halftime

50
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:34.280
thanks to some wild threes that went
down. Really, it felt like a

51
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.199
game that could have been a fifteen
point halftime margin, and you would think

52
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:42.800
that Yukon was winning based off the
studio analysts that were saying how they should

53
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.439
be overjoy that they're only down seven
points. Yukon quickly erased that deficit and

54
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.000
built a five point lead halfway through
the second half, but it was a

55
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.520
late surge by Kevin McCuller and kJ
Adams that lifted the Jayhawks over the hump

56
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.599
down the stretch. It was a
twenty two to thirteen run over the last

57
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.120
nine minutes after falling behind by a
couple of buckets that won the game for

58
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:05.599
Kansas. Defeating the defending champs in
a classic, I don't know classic.

59
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:09.319
People over use the word classic.
I don't know. Sixty nine to sixty

60
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.879
five in a game with like three
lead changes can be a classic, But

61
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:15.839
yeah, I don't think worthy of
classic, but a very good basketball game,

62
00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:20.839
a wildly entertaining basketball game. And
kudos to both of these teams for

63
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:27.480
being this aggressive scheduling. Dan Hurley
acted a little bit babyish at times,

64
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.000
but the man is not coach k
when it comes to scheduling. Because the

65
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:34.879
Huskies played Kansas last night, They've
already played Indiana and Texas. Their next

66
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:40.480
game is against North Carolina. They
played Gainzaga right before Christmas. Awesome to

67
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:45.079
see these quality premier teams schedule like
this, because wow, was that more

68
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.519
exciting that Watchington beat Eastern Illatis?
Yeah? And yeah, then you have

69
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.920
that, Then you have that.
My first question is how good was Allen

70
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.560
field house Landon? You kind of
answered it. I saw some people on

71
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:59.839
Twitter saying it was one of the
five best atmosphere games in the self era.

72
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.399
I mean, I know that you
haven't been to a ton of games

73
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:08.879
that qualify as maybe that, but
it's hard to imagine it being much better.

74
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.399
I've been. I've been to not
that many games, but I think

75
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.399
the games that I've been to have
given me a good a good swath of

76
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.600
atmospheres. I was there when they
clinched. I think it was the fourteenth

77
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:23.959
straight in Frank Mason's senior year.
That was thirteen, and that was the

78
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:27.680
last year the streak Now officially,
sir right, there is no four.

79
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.000
I was also there when they played
K State. I was there when they've

80
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:38.480
played Missouri. I've been there for
random non cons like Rider. I been

81
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.720
the best atmosphere this this and last
year. I went and watched or two

82
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.839
years ago, I went and watched
them host Texas Tech double overtime. Typology

83
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:51.360
dropped thirty seven. Uh, it
was at least as good as that we

84
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:55.199
were on, at least as good
as what that game was by the end,

85
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.720
which was we were both at that
game, just not just on different

86
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:03.560
sides of the arena. And that
game was like three hours and fifteen minutes,

87
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:08.319
and everybody was drenched in sweat.
After that game ended, and my

88
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:11.399
uncle's truck broke down on the way
home, so we had to sit on

89
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:13.480
the side of the road, and
I didn't get home until like one am,

90
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.199
and I had worked the next morning. That was whenever you had to

91
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.480
get up at like six in the
morning or five point thirty to drive.

92
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:20.879
It's true I did not do that. I text my boss, I'm gonna

93
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:24.639
be an hour or two late.
Sorry, yep, yeah, that's what

94
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.680
That's what anybody smart would do.
So good work, Uh, Nick,

95
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.079
Kansas beats Yukon. This was always
gonna kind of I know that you didn't

96
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.680
truly believe that they were going to
lose this game, but you picked against

97
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:40.079
Kansas thinking that this was a really
tough matchup. You've been the hardest on

98
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:42.720
this team of the three of us. It had to feel good any race,

99
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:45.800
at least a little bit of your
concerns to see them go out and

100
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.560
secure a win over a top five
team. Yeah, the first half certainly

101
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.079
erased a lot of my concerns,
but it seemed like, you know,

102
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:54.279
not to be a debbie down or
anything, but it seems like the second

103
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:59.120
half they kind of regressed back to
their at least difficulties that they've had over

104
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:04.160
this season and having long gaps of
without scoring and really some lapses defensively.

105
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:10.000
But altogether this game they played great
defensively. We knew Yukon was gonna light

106
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:12.959
it up from the floor, like
like I mean, j Billis made the

107
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.240
point quite clear enough. I don't
think they'll need to hear it reiterated again.

108
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:19.240
But Yukon shots late in the shot
clock were all miraculous heaves that went

109
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:23.600
in. I mean, KYU just
based on the fact that how how they

110
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:26.680
were defending towards the end of the
shot clock every possession, they could have

111
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.800
easily been up fourteen to fifteen heading
into the locker room at halftime and we

112
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.600
wouldn't have batten an eye. It
was that truly, that not miraculous.

113
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.279
Great of a performance in the first
half for Kansas defensively and offensively as well.

114
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:40.759
You know, hitting ten of their
first thirteen shots, that's very impressive

115
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:43.600
as well for this team. You
know, Hunter Dickinson made a big part

116
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.000
of that with his threes, and
then got other guys contributing. Kevin mccullor

117
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.439
fantastic as usual. But then that
second half spurt came in. They came

118
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:53.439
out of the locker room and it's
almost a reverse of the game against the

119
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:57.160
Eastern almost a reverse of some of
the other games this season, the Marquette

120
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:00.879
game, but similar to the Eastern
Illinois game. They just kind of came

121
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:05.759
out in the second half flat and
disappointing. But like I said, it's

122
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.199
a good Yukon team. They really
did as much as they could DEFENSEI him,

123
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.120
and holding that team to sixty five
points, it's going to be a

124
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.839
good stat line however you shake it. But still those concerns linger about who's

125
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.480
giving this team production when Hunter Dickinson
and Kevin mccuur on the bench or in

126
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.000
foul trouble, And I don't think
that answer has been very clear yet,

127
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.399
at least it wasn't clear in this
game. But it's hard to fault the

128
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.079
team who just won on their home
floor against the top top five team who

129
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:33.600
hadn't lost in twenty four straight non
conference games. Yeah, and the defense

130
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.559
you mentioned was great. This is
a team that entered having scored at least

131
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.759
eighty one points in every game except
for one. The fewest they'd scored all

132
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.919
year was seventy seven, and then
you hold them to sixty five and they

133
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.480
needed some miraculous threes to get there. It kind of all balanced out because

134
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:50.559
you had guys like Cam Spencer who
are normally very good scorers that weren't,

135
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.399
and then you had a couple of
three point shooters that don't normally step up

136
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.960
that were much better. The interior
scoring for Yukon wasn't nearly what it had

137
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.159
been all season law, which is
bound to happen because they you know,

138
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:05.559
they've played teams like stone Hill and
New Hampshire and then you go up against

139
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:09.120
Hunter Dickinson inside, it's not gonna
be as easy. But Dan Hurley said

140
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.320
after the game that this was one
of the toughest atmospheres. It got them

141
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:15.960
off their game. It's not something
we see all the time now. Allen

142
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:20.039
Fieldhouse is never not great, but
Big twelve teams seem to be handling it

143
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.840
better than they used to. It
feels like it's not as frequent that Kansas

144
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:30.120
opens games by just buzz sawing opponents
and using that crowd to their advantage.

145
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:35.039
This was a vintage This was a
vintage performance in that regard because we saw

146
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.879
Kansas jump to the sixteen to five
lead, force the timeout and the game.

147
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.159
I know Yu Kon was leading in
the second half, but at least

148
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.679
to me, it felt like the
game was over at that point. It

149
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:48.240
felt like that I had already seen
enough to think Kansas has brought the defensive

150
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:54.840
intensity that the building is what it
is. I would be stunned at that

151
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.000
point based off of oh, they're
not laying an egg, They're probably not

152
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.799
losing at home based off of how
self is now three hundred and eleven and

153
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.840
seventeen at home. Usually whenever they
lose at home, you can blame horrible

154
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.399
starts. Feels like just about every
home loss I can think of, except

155
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.039
for the Texas game the day after
Thomas Robinson's mom died, where they just

156
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.360
ran out of gas, it feels
like all of them can be attributed to

157
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.080
really bad starts. They don't lose
very many home games when they control the

158
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:24.120
first half. Even though they had
that stretch in the second half for Yukon

159
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:28.320
serge back and took a lead,
never felt like a game they were truly

160
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:33.399
going to lose. Something that really
helps, too, is that resume Landon.

161
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:37.440
We've heard about how this team isn't
good at shooting, this team isn't

162
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:41.000
deep, and yet here we are
in December first, and they probably have

163
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:46.039
the best resume of anyone in college
basketball. Yeah, I would say that's

164
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.879
very arguable. They already have wins
over teams that are currently ranked fourth,

165
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.519
tenth, and twelfth, and it's
only December second as of recording. Half

166
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.639
of their games as far have been
against teams currently in the top fifteen,

167
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:01.840
seven and one. Overall life,
you said, Ryan, a lot of

168
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.600
wins on the horizon, especially with
arguably your most difficult game out of the

169
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:11.080
way. Yeah, the Jayhawks,
even with you know, some genuine questions,

170
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.399
they are, you know, as
they always do, continuing to win.

171
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.799
I mean, when is the next
loss? They're not gonna lose to

172
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.039
Kansas City and they're not gonna lose
to Missouri at Indiana isn't going to be

173
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:24.600
easy. They're six and one,
but also Indiana, we're gonna find out

174
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.399
a lot about them. Their next
two games are against Michigan and Auburn,

175
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.039
and they don't have a quality dub
on their resume. They haven't been very

176
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.000
good. I don't think they're losing
that. They're not gonna lose to Yale.

177
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.480
I don't think they lose to wich
TOAs State. They're not gonna lose

178
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.720
to TCU at home. They're not
gonna lose at Central Florida. Like,

179
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:46.240
when is their next loss? Am
I being a little too premature to say.

180
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:48.759
I think this team may get into
late January before they lose one,

181
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.960
barring something really surprising. They feel
like they're gonna be a five point favorite

182
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.600
in all these games. They're gonna
be favored in all of them. Kansas

183
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:01.840
obviously does have the incredible ability to
lay weird eggs sometimes, so I think

184
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.240
there's a chance for that. But
they're definitely the better team in all these

185
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:07.799
games for sure, not even close. Yeah. No, I said something

186
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.919
similar last night. I texted in
and said that, you know, you're

187
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.039
looking at the schedule, like you
say, I think Indiana might be a

188
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:18.000
trap game, might be underlooking that
team a little bit, especially going in

189
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:24.519
assembly haul. But January twenty seventh
is maybe the first real true test that's

190
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:26.440
on the road and aims against Iowa
State. And then you've got a little

191
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:30.919
bit tougher schedule. I mean KU's
conference slate is like very back heavy.

192
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.960
I mean the last like what six
games is against top twenty five teams and

193
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.960
then k State. So it's going
to be it's gonna be a tough sledding

194
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.039
to the end of the conference play. But I mean for the next couple

195
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:45.639
of months, it seems like KYU
is gonna have be in a good position

196
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.720
to get wins. Yeah, their
conference schedule is back heavy. Both Houston

197
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.919
games, both Baylor games, the
Texas Tech road game, the Kansas State

198
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.120
road game, and their only game
with Texas all in the back half of

199
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:00.799
the conference late. But unless you
think they lose it out field House,

200
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.240
which can happen, but certainly we're
not going to predict it. So I'm

201
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.120
just gonna take the Allen field House
games out. You tell me where the

202
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:13.519
next losses At Indiana maybe if they
just get overwhelmed by the atmosphere, which

203
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:18.360
to State at T Mobile Center.
No, at Central Florida No. No.

204
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.399
At Oklahoma State and at West Virginia. Those are tough venues for them,

205
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:26.879
but they're probably the twost seats in
the Big twelve. Yeah, and

206
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.440
then at Iowa State. So I
think you're gonna I think it's the most

207
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.360
likely loss other than Indiana is a
random one at home. And if that's

208
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.440
your second most likely loss, Kansas
losing at Allen field House to an unranked

209
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.519
team, Okay, I don't think
they're gonna lose very much. So yeah,

210
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.200
well we'll see. Okay, Nick, let's move into the players,

211
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:50.799
because Kansas got a huge performance in
the second half by a senior not the

212
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:54.799
one we're used to seeing this year, at least carry them down the stretch.

213
00:13:54.879 --> 00:14:01.080
Yeah, you're talking about kJ Adams
well, Adams is a junior.

214
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:05.279
Yeah, that's true. And also
the first guy in the notes is not

215
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:07.799
kJ Adams. Yeah, but we're
talking about one of the best players in

216
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:15.120
the shining stars of this game.
Well, huh, did you have a

217
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.080
different take on Kevin mccullor then,
or what I'm joking. Kevin McClure was

218
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:28.799
fantastic. Yeah, I'm trying to
find him in the notes. Okay,

219
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.759
you didn't lead off with Kevin mccullor. The three point shooting carried the Jayhawks

220
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:37.559
home in this game. Kevin McLure
was the team's best player, scoring twenty

221
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.559
one points on six for ten from
the floor, three for four from three,

222
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:43.480
and added five rebounds in his thirty
six minutes. Mccluur made all three

223
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.879
of his threes over the last nine
minutes of the night, also six for

224
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:52.440
six from the free throw line.
So landed Kevin mccullar. Good work.

225
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:56.799
Sorry, Harry, you could have
some applause for making it through the notes.

226
00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:01.039
I'm impressed. I did kind of
ambush you by not opening that paragraph

227
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:03.159
with Kevin mcculler's name, so that
that's normally what I do, and I

228
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.000
was trying to I was trying to
be wordsy and it didn't work. Landon

229
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:11.440
and Kevin McCuller, we've talked about
he seems to be this team's most clutch

230
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:16.200
player. We saw last year he
hit huge shots against Wisconsin. He was

231
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.919
the wound up making game winners in
those narrow home wins against Ou and Oklahoma

232
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.879
State. He's a very clutch player. We saw it once again here.

233
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:28.279
Huge performance down the stretch. Yeah, and clutch is a really good way

234
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:31.320
to put it, obviously. I
mean those three threes all coming in big

235
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.039
moments down the stretch in the close
game. I mean, he's just he's

236
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:39.120
been so good this season, like
there's not a ton to analyze really.

237
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.279
I mean three for four is kind
of the biggest thing that I think id

238
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:45.840
ke in On and six for six
the free throw line, because he's a

239
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:48.320
guy that can definitely get to the
free throw line. He's not afraid to

240
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:52.480
attack the basket, try to drive
close. But he shot the ball in

241
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:56.840
jump shooting situations really well. He
had a couple at least one or two

242
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:00.799
pull up jays for mid range as
well that went down and then had the

243
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:04.559
three threes. Of course, if
he can do that going forward, Obviously,

244
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:07.279
three for four is not gonna happen
every night. But if you can

245
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.879
just knock a couple down every night, his ceiling goes way up, the

246
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.919
team's ceiling goes up. That's been
his biggest struggle, which is weird because

247
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.200
going into the season in the exhibitions, which I know are exhibitions, but

248
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.120
he shot the ball really well those
nights. Thought that was going to be

249
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:26.679
a nice area of improvement. He's
not really shown that yet, but really

250
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:30.120
nice to see that from him in
this game. Obviously his defense was also

251
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:34.039
remarkable, But you'll take twenty one
and five and excellent defense and clutch threes

252
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.200
every night. I mean, that's
that's a winning player, and I think

253
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:40.879
it continues to build the case that
he is arguably the most bill selfie player

254
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:44.639
of all time. Well, we
talked about how all Kevin McCuller needs to

255
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.159
do is shoot about thirty five percent
on threes. As awesome as forty five

256
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:51.200
would be, it's just not gonna
happen for a guy who's a career thirty

257
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:52.960
percent shooter. If he can elevate
his game, I mean, going up

258
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:56.399
four percent from one year to the
next and three point shooting is a tremendous

259
00:16:56.399 --> 00:17:00.679
improvement. And right now he's sitting
at thirty five point five percent, So

260
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:06.000
thirty five thirty six, that's awesome. Through eight games that will play,

261
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:11.039
he's averaging nineteen seven and five right
now, which is an All America caliber

262
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:14.359
season. I think that if if
he continues that pace, which he won't

263
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:15.759
because the games are gonna get tougher. But as of right now, I

264
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:21.279
don't think there's been ten better players
in college basketball than Kevin McCuller. He's

265
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.799
been the team's second best rebounder,
he's been the team's second best passer,

266
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.480
he's been the team second best scorer. He's been probably their best free throw

267
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:33.400
shooter, clutch clutch player. I
don't know what the weakness in the guy's

268
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:36.559
game is on nights wherever, he's
gonna make threes like he's He's just a

269
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:41.039
terrific player. And that's the sort
of reason why Bill self was so overjoyed

270
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:42.720
to have him back, because this
is an l on the schedule if you

271
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:47.839
don't get Kevin McCuller back. The
three point shooting overall was very good,

272
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:51.319
nine for fourteen, sixty three percent. We've talked about how this team has

273
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:53.960
struggled to make threes, but in
this game, I didn't think they shot

274
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:57.559
enough of them. Furfey made a
couple, Dickinson made a few, McCuller

275
00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:00.519
made a couple, Harris made one. Like it was balanced. Then against

276
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:06.119
the very good interior Yukon defense,
they were kicking it out and knocking down

277
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:08.559
those shots. Three point shooting won
them the game, which I think had

278
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:11.680
you been told the beginning of the
night, this game's gonna come down to

279
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.240
Kansas's abilities to make threes late,
I don't know how confident you would have

280
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:18.960
been, Nick, I want to. I think what's interesting here is that

281
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:23.599
Kansas actually does make nine threes,
but they still only score sixty nine points.

282
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:26.079
What do you make of that?
Yeah, I think part of that

283
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.359
and we'll talk about him after this. But Hunter Dickinson's presence in the post,

284
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.759
like Klingon was you know that those
guys are battling out, but was

285
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:38.519
pretty underwhelming. That competition between those
two in scoring points in this game the

286
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:42.160
big men, so I think that's
a factory. Hunter Dickinson's been averaging twenty

287
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:45.240
two points per game this season,
so that's been a huge part of Kansas's

288
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:49.920
scoring. Obviously, Kelvin mccull wasn't
responsible for that lack of points in this

289
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:52.480
game. But I think you think, look at some other guys, maybe

290
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.359
coming off the bench, Parker Brown's
not scoring much for you, But you

291
00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:00.960
know, I don't know, it's
definitely interesting to see that that that distribution

292
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:06.640
of points was so high in favor
of threes in this game. But yeah,

293
00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:08.279
I mean, I mean, I
think that the reason that they didn't

294
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:11.000
score as many points as we used
to seeing them is one that the game

295
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:15.519
pace was slower. Kansas, I
think was at at advantage whenever they were

296
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:19.359
playing slower over a Yukon team that
likes to play fast, they were trying

297
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:23.279
to limit transition opportunities. We saw
the offense start hot when Yukon was turning

298
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:27.160
it over a little bit, but
as they as it continued and the Huskies

299
00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:32.920
slowed down their possessions and we're taking
thirty seconds on each possession, then it

300
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:36.559
was never going to be a track
meet. But Dickinson not scoring, you

301
00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:40.519
know, twenty three like he normally
does. I mean that if Dickinson scores

302
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:42.400
his average in this game, then
they're close to eighty, which I think

303
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:45.599
feels a lot more right, But
the three point shooting was good, they

304
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:49.240
just didn't take as many and make
as many twos. And they also didn't

305
00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:52.400
make the free throw shooting in this
game. They weren't at the free throw

306
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:55.880
line very much until the very end
of the night. That's my guess for

307
00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:57.599
the offense, Land and I don't
know what yours is. No, I

308
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:00.359
don't know what the exactly it is
either. I think that's fair. I

309
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.200
mean, Yukon I don't think played
like poor defense either. I think Yukon

310
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:08.359
played pretty solid defense for the most
part. Dickinson having a quieter night as

311
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:12.799
he and Klingon kind of cancel each
other out or certainly limit each other,

312
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:15.480
I think does also have a lot
to do with it. Also, the

313
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:19.440
bench, which we'll talk about as
well, didn't give you pretty much anything

314
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:22.559
other than Johnny Furpy making a couple
of shots, So I think there was

315
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:26.039
a few few different things. Nonetheless, very nice to see them knock down

316
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:30.119
a couple threes. Let's talk about
Hunter Dickinson. We've alluded to him a

317
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.119
couple times already. He has fifteen
and nine four blocks to go along with

318
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:37.400
it, six for twelve from the
floor. He played an insane thirty eight

319
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.720
minutes was three or four from three, the last of which coming at a

320
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:44.359
pivotal time during KU's big run near
the end of the game, when he

321
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:48.160
once again gestured at the large size
of his genitalia, according to him,

322
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:55.599
is very very large. That post
move. He battled the post all night

323
00:20:55.640 --> 00:21:00.920
against fellow seven to center Donovan Klingen, pulling him to eight and seven.

324
00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:07.160
Dickinson not bad in fifteen to nine
by most other KU centers in the last

325
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:12.559
several years, would be a more
than worthy performance unless you're Udoki as a

326
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:17.440
booky play against a high school team, but otherwise still solid night, but

327
00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:19.519
definitely little quieter anything to make of
that, or just playing against a good

328
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:25.039
center. This is where you can't
I don't think can fault it through fifteen

329
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:27.599
points. I mean yeah, this
is where people need to remember that they're

330
00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:32.359
playing against very good players too.
Klingon's one of the best centers in the

331
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:34.920
country, especially on the defensive end. He's coming off a twenty four point

332
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:37.000
maybe it was twenty eight point,
it was one of them. He had

333
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:41.519
a big game in the game before
this one, so Dickinson's defense was every

334
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:45.400
bit as big as his offense.
The second half was quieter, as as

335
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:48.640
I think Landon alluded to. He
only scored five points in the second half,

336
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:52.519
but the three was big and Dickinson
and the really the thing I watched.

337
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:56.559
I found myself watching Dickinson and Klingon
go head to head whenever neither one

338
00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:02.359
of them had the ball. They
were fighting like lunatics down low to get

339
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:07.519
in position to get an outlet pass, whereas or a post pass, whereas

340
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:14.200
you know most guys after they played, Dickinson playing thirty eight minutes with being

341
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:17.599
a center, like both guys were
gassed at the end of this night,

342
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:22.079
and both were fighting, diving on
the floor for everything, Like just tremendous

343
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:25.640
effort. Whenever you're going up against
a player like this, you're not gonna

344
00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:29.079
score thirty. It's just not gonna
happen. And I think Dickinson made his

345
00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:33.640
presence felt both in terms of what
he actually contributed, which is fifteen to

346
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:37.559
nine, and then him drawing a
lot of double teams and opening things up

347
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:41.720
for guys like kJ Adams. I
think that Dickinson more than gave you what

348
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:47.240
you could have wanted you had been
on It was one last point about Dickinson

349
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:49.720
here. One thing I thought that
was strange from a tactical perspective for Kansas

350
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:53.480
that they did a handful of times
that I think they need to immediately stop

351
00:22:53.640 --> 00:23:00.920
doing is when they have kJ Adams
initiate offense on the perimeter, which I

352
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:03.319
actually have no problem with because he's
a capable enough driver, obviously very athletic.

353
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:07.440
If he gets a lane, it's
a dunk. But you cannot have

354
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:14.039
him on Dickinson's side when Dickinson's in
the post, because that is an instant

355
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:17.279
double team because kJ can't shoot.
So yeah, that was a that was

356
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:18.839
a weird thing. I think that
was maybe the only thing that Kansas did

357
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:23.839
to like, you know, limit
Dickinson on their own terms. That I

358
00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:26.599
think has to be something you got
to figure out in some other way.

359
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:33.319
You have to put anyone else really
that can shoot at all out there so

360
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:36.880
that the defense has to respect the
kickout at least a little bit. Otherwise,

361
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:40.279
Yeah, that's just instantaneously two bodies
on Dickinson. Otherwise, Yeah,

362
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:41.839
I think I think Dickinson had a
fine nine just played against a good player.

363
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.079
But that was one weird thing I
noticed a handful of times and kJ

364
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:49.920
tonight, it wasn't It didn't really
impact them or cost them because kj's little

365
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:55.359
hook floater was going and he also
did pretty well at the free throw line.

366
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:57.720
But yeah, on a night where
that SHOT's not going and they're leaving

367
00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:02.160
kJ adams open, which they seemed
content to do and credits to kJ,

368
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:06.119
he burned them. I would rather
take my chances with kJ hitting floaters than

369
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:10.920
I would have Hunter Dickinson just eat
me alive inside. But at the same

370
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:15.839
time, on a night wherever it
was working well for kJ, great,

371
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.839
but you know, if he's not
hitting those shots, then this night goes

372
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:22.880
very, very differently. So those
eighteen points from kJ were immits. Yukon

373
00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:26.440
first lost for them since last year's
Biggie's Tournament. We just did this last

374
00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:30.200
year with Kansas as national champs.
How whenever you win an NCAA tournament,

375
00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:34.160
you definitely can stretch your winning streak
out to some pretty big numbers. Connecticut

376
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:37.640
had won thirteen games in a row. They had also won twenty four straight

377
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.960
non conference games by double digits.
But all of those statistics can't change the

378
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:45.880
fact that there the parents of the
players are a bunch of whiny, freaking

379
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:49.960
cry babies. And I never in
a thousand years thought i'd hear that much

380
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:55.400
about where parents players had to sit
in a college basketball arena. Landon,

381
00:24:55.440 --> 00:25:00.359
you were kind of up in that
section where the opposing parents were, and

382
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:03.640
you said they were a little extra
loud. Yeah, they were just up

383
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.960
into the left of our seats,
not too far from us. Yeah they

384
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:11.960
were allowed. They got the let's
go Husky's chant go in a handful of

385
00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:17.559
times, go Yukon, whatever other
weird chance that Yukon has. They pulled

386
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:19.759
a few of them out. Yeah, they seem feisty, they seemed up

387
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:22.319
for it, and I can't necessarily
blame them. I don't think Ku was

388
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:25.920
like intentionally sticking it to him,
but you know, an odd place to

389
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:29.920
put the parents when they normally sit
behind the bench. But yeah, they

390
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:33.880
were into it for sure. Okay, Nick, let's talk about Dewan Harris.

391
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:36.759
I think that we need to have
this conversation and we may have some

392
00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:38.720
different takes across the board here,
so this should be a pretty interesting debate.

393
00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:41.759
Let me read the stats and then
I'll throw it to you for some

394
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:45.759
analysis. Dewan Harris struggled, at
least statistically, he made it three early

395
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.039
in the game and then did nothing
else scoring wise the rest of the night.

396
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.920
He finished with just those three points
on one for seven from the floor,

397
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.519
zero for six on twos, and
then missed two free throws too down

398
00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:00.480
the stretch when they were up too
and could have. I mean, when

399
00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:03.119
you're up to and are taking two
free throws, that's about as big as

400
00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:06.799
it gets because you're obviously determining if
you can lose on the next possession or

401
00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:10.559
if the game is completely salted away. And he missed them both. Six

402
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:14.519
assists, two turnovers, and then
yeah, the two miss free throws were

403
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:18.880
rounded out his stat line. Cam
Spencer had a great look at a game

404
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:23.319
winner and it just was short.
So Harris he played really well against He

405
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:30.480
played great whenever they played the Wildcats
in in Chicago, But other than that,

406
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:33.839
really has struggled statistically. We're still
yet to see him score more than

407
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:37.759
seven points in a game other than
Kentucky, and we're now have eight games

408
00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:41.839
worth of a sample size. What
are your thoughts on how on how Harris

409
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:45.200
has struggled. Yeah, I don't
think he's been good at all this season.

410
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:48.119
It's just, to be quite honest
with you take out the Kentucky game

411
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:51.599
where he scored twenty three. He
was brilliant in that game, but the

412
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:56.000
rest of the sample size zero to
seven, seven points against Shamanad four,

413
00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:59.880
five, one and three points.
Nothing like you're talking about a team who's

414
00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:03.240
been depleted in scoring. Obviously,
I've talked plenty about Arterry Morris not being

415
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:07.079
there as a guard anymore. So
who is going to make up those points?

416
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:10.640
Well, Timberlake, Furfey, guys
off the bench. That hasn't happened.

417
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:14.359
So who you're gonna trust your junior
guard maybe to make some shots?

418
00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:17.799
And in this game, like you
said, terrible one for seven from the

419
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:22.599
floor against Eastern Illinois, he was
over four, missing layups left and right.

420
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:26.200
He's been sloppier, some more turnovers, I don't think. I think

421
00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:29.200
he's been a little more careless with
the ball. You know, two turnovers

422
00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:32.359
in this game, three in the
previous two games. So a little bit

423
00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:36.400
uncharacteristic, uncharacteristic for him. The
assists numbers have been good obviously with Hunter

424
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:38.200
Dickinson in the lineup, But outside
of that, I mean, what are

425
00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:42.160
you seeing from this guy that is
making you say this? Because the top

426
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:45.480
point guard in the country. I
know he is, and I'm being a

427
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:48.559
little harsh, but when you have
a team that needs scoring this badly,

428
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:53.240
and you know Bill Soelf talks so
frequently about how Dwan can score and he

429
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:56.599
can get his points, he just
doesn't need to or you know that that

430
00:27:56.680 --> 00:27:59.680
whole stick, Well, he's kind
of needed to at some point in the

431
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:03.359
season and haven't really seen it yet. So I'm my concern more is is

432
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.319
is this guy. Is this guy
just gonna step up and try to assume

433
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:10.079
a role where he can be more
of a score and more of a threat

434
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:12.000
offensively, or is he just still
winning to sit back in the shadows and

435
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:18.119
be the orchestrator of this situation.
But I think that at least from my

436
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:21.000
posture, at least I had expect
themselves to be pushing him a little bit

437
00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:23.680
more to be that type of guy. But it doesn't seem to be happening.

438
00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:29.559
Obviously, seven shots in this game
they didn't fall. What is the

439
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:30.799
answer for to one, Harris,
because I don't think it's good enough right

440
00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:36.359
now. So Landon, we kind
of talked before before we started the show

441
00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:40.559
that I my opinion watching this game
and I just may be an idiot.

442
00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:42.759
I didn't think Harris played that poorly. I just don't think the ball went

443
00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:47.440
in the basket like I thought.
He quarterbacked the offense well, he needed

444
00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:49.640
a breather, and Kansas actually made
their run to take the lead with Harris

445
00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:53.039
on the bench, which we've noticed
happened a couple times this season. But

446
00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:57.480
Harris is still instrumental in what they
do. There wasn't anybody that held a

447
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:03.119
better role or a bigger and Yukon's
offense being thrown out of whack then Harris's

448
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:06.440
pressure at the top of the key. Like, I didn't think he played

449
00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:08.480
bad. He didn't turn it over. The ball just didn't go in.

450
00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:12.039
If he makes half those those shots
he normally makes, then I think we're

451
00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:15.359
talking about a quality performance. I'm
definitely not panicked on this guy. I

452
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:18.480
think that he's bound to The stats
are going to really pick up in a

453
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:22.880
big way here in the next couple
of weeks. Yeah, I don't know.

454
00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:27.279
I was never really sold on Dawan
Harris scoring a lot anyway, I

455
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:32.960
genuinely agree. I don't really think
he played poorly in this game necessarily.

456
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:37.359
I don't think the shots he took
were bad, but I do think when

457
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:45.359
you've missed your last like five layups, maybe don't take the sixth. I

458
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:47.759
don't know. I don't necessarily think
he played bad. I think he played

459
00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:51.079
pretty well, and like you said, defensively he was great. I still

460
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:55.039
think he ran the offense and kept
the offense moving well. I think he

461
00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:59.200
pushed the ball pretty well in transition
play. I think he did a lot

462
00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:03.640
of things well. And I still
think he is one of the best point

463
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:06.559
guards in the country, one of
the most important. But I do think

464
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:11.000
at a certain point you just have
to sell the guy as a consistent scorer,

465
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:12.160
and I think that's kind of where
we are. I think you just

466
00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:15.759
kind of know he isn't gonna score, and that's an important flaw on this

467
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:18.799
team, to be fair on a
team where your bench does not look like

468
00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:22.160
it's gonna give you a lot on
a lot of nights, again subject to

469
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:26.240
change. You never know. It's
important that your point guard can get you

470
00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:29.960
something. I don't know if he's
the guy that's going to be able to

471
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:33.640
get you something because he just has
never really had the intent to do so.

472
00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:38.960
Obviously he's capable, but I'm in
kind of both camps. I think

473
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:42.039
he played well, But at the
same time, I think he just he

474
00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:47.039
just isn't a scorer. And I
think that is that's just who he is

475
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:48.599
as a player. He just isn't
a guy that is going to score.

476
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:52.039
He's gonna score sometimes, like the
Kentucky game. He's gonna have some nights

477
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:56.039
where he has eighteen and nine assists
and it looks amazing, but he's just

478
00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:57.680
not that guy a lot of the
time. He doesn't need to take more

479
00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:00.839
threes, regardless he needs to take
or threes. I just want to clarify.

480
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:03.039
I'm not saying I don't think he's
like a lost cause or anything like,

481
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:06.160
oh, we just got to deal
with him, But like, I

482
00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:10.400
just think it's a genuine concern when
you look at this guy who's the stat

483
00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:15.279
lines just and obviously Dewan Harris has
always been sold as a guy who's intangibles

484
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:17.680
are better than anyone else in the
floor. It's the stuff that doesn't show

485
00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:21.000
up in the stats. I get
that. Defensively, you know, orchestrating

486
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:23.960
the offense, I understand that.
But Kevin McCuller, in that same vein

487
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:30.359
is known for his defense, known
for making plays. But if Kansas fans.

488
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:33.440
If he had a game where he
scored three points, Kansas fans would

489
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:37.440
be completely concerned about that. So
I'm just saying, why can't we expect

490
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.680
a power five on the top five
team in the country, who's developed under

491
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:45.559
Bill self these past three or four
seasons. Why can't we expect this guy

492
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:49.160
to have a better offensive output than
he's had in previous seasons. I just

493
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:52.720
don't think that's too much to ask. And I don't understand, you know,

494
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:56.160
why Kansas fans are so quick to
give this a pass. I mean,

495
00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:57.440
I do understand it, because he
does the untangibles, But I just

496
00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:00.720
don't understand. I really do understand
why and the fans aren't more concerned about

497
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:04.880
a guy who scored three one in
five points in the last three games.

498
00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:07.079
I mean, you'd expect I think
you'd expect more at this level in this

499
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:10.279
point in this career. That's just
my two cents. I don't know.

500
00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:15.240
Yeah, No, that's a good
take. Like they absolutely are realistic for

501
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:21.920
expecting more. It's not costing Kansas
games. But if Kansas had lost this

502
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:25.440
game, I think that Harris is
probably the thing we're leading off with talking

503
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:30.240
about being the problem. If Cam
Spencer's three goes in. We'll have a

504
00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:32.640
totally different order of operations in today's
show, and it probably starts with that.

505
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:37.279
I don't know if that's fair to
a player, but I think that's

506
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:39.680
just kind of how sports works.
It's game of inches. Harris hasn't cost

507
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:43.960
Kansas a game yet, but whenever
he does, and he did cost them

508
00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:46.279
a couple of games in the year
they won the national title and he was

509
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:51.920
enemy number one on Twitter and on
this podcast. I just have seen enough

510
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:57.160
of Dewan Harris being a positive contributor
to this team to think that this is

511
00:32:57.240 --> 00:33:00.319
going to continue much longer last year, this year, whatever, I think

512
00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:05.039
you're gonna see him settle in as
a nine points and six assists sort of

513
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:07.839
player, which considering who he's got
around him. We talked on this show

514
00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:13.440
three weeks ago when they rolled Manhattan
about how Harris didn't take a shot and

515
00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:16.279
they scored one hundred, because that's
how this team is put together, and

516
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:19.799
so I think I kind of got
to stick with that a little bit.

517
00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:24.680
But I do think it's it's a
perfectly realistic question to say they getting more

518
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:29.079
than seven points a night from your
point guard. That doesn't feel like a

519
00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:31.240
big that doesn't really feel like a
huge ask. I agree, And then

520
00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:35.440
also one like one last thing to
say is like, obviously this is an

521
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:37.880
eight game, eight games tample size. But just looking at his stats,

522
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:42.720
his field goal percentage is dropped by
twelve percent since last year. His free

523
00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:47.759
throw percent down as well. Assist
obviously are up. Steals are down by

524
00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:52.440
one point three per game too,
so he's getting less steels per game.

525
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:55.880
Turnovers are up by point five and
then obviously points are down by three point

526
00:33:55.920 --> 00:34:00.799
three points per game. So I
mean, when is like for you guys?

527
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:01.880
Obviously I know Landon, you're kind
of in the middle range and you

528
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:07.559
still think de one Harris has potential
to these numbers to go up. When

529
00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:12.360
do you start rolling the alarm bells
about his drop in production on the after

530
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:14.880
the next few games back on the
stat sheet, okay, after the next

531
00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:19.320
few games when they play some cupcakes. If he's still struggling and the field

532
00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:22.639
goal percentage status is a great catch
by you, I didn't even detect that

533
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:25.559
his three point percentage has gone up
and his overall field goal percentage has gone

534
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:31.079
down. His two point percentage last
year forty nine percent this year thirty one

535
00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:35.320
percent. That's why I'm not concerned. He's No. One. He's a

536
00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:37.800
thirty one percent from two shooter.
He's gonna have a run of five or

537
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:42.679
six games where he shoots seventy percent
on twos and that evens up. That's

538
00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:45.400
why I'm not concerned. But I
will say, if we're still having this

539
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:50.000
conversation and three weeks after they played
teams like UMKC and Missouri and Yale and

540
00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:52.280
it's still eh, then all then
I'm willing to be like, Okay,

541
00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:54.840
there's a big problem here. See. I'm not actually worried if he doesn't

542
00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:59.480
score against those teams, because he's
probably not gonna have to. But if

543
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:05.480
we're a handful of games into conference
play and he's still been that, that's

544
00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:09.559
when I will start to really genuinely
be worried about that being a limitter on

545
00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:12.880
Kansas. Not that they can't win
a lot of games still, obviously they

546
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:16.599
could, but Kansas isn't hitting their
ceiling on less Dwan Harris is giving them

547
00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:22.320
better than at least one for seven
a night. I also don't think they're

548
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:25.559
winning unless some of these guys start
to play better. And there was much

549
00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:29.440
as there is with the two guards. There was some good and some bad.

550
00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:32.599
Al Marco Jackson six points, four
rebounds plus four fouls and thirty two

551
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:37.559
minutes made a bonehead played where he
threw the ball into the second row of

552
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:39.880
the crowd when Kansas was basically trying
to do anything but turn it over down

553
00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:43.559
the stretch, but then he made
up for it by forcing a turnover of

554
00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:45.800
his own on the other end on
the play that got replay reviewed. So

555
00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:50.760
defensively, I thought he was great. Offensively, I can't remember a single

556
00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:53.719
shot that he's created for himself this
year, and that just maybe a product

557
00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:57.960
of being young. Johnny Furfey did
some good things, making two threes for

558
00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:00.840
six points, but also committed three
fouls, really struggled on defense. I

559
00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:05.400
think that's a perfect way to summarize
these guys. You saw good moments,

560
00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:08.480
but also you had seven fouls between
Jackson and Furfey, and against a team

561
00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:12.679
like Connecticut that I know wasn't hitting
free throws yesterday, but they normally are

562
00:36:12.719 --> 00:36:15.360
an excellent free throw shooting team,
that could have been disastrous. Nick Timberlake

563
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:20.320
appears to just be a second fiddle
player at this point. Two minutes in

564
00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:22.719
the first half, didn't play for
the second straight game after halftime, and

565
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:27.400
Jamari McDowell, who we thought could
potentially have a big role in this game,

566
00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:30.039
especially with the defensive intensity being ups, he only played the final two

567
00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:34.119
and a half seconds of the game
after kJ had made those last two free

568
00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:37.360
throws, So that was interesting.
We always lump these guys together. I

569
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:40.800
thought Jackson played pretty well overall.
Like, I know, the scoring isn't

570
00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:44.599
there, but I thought he did
everything else fine, and I think he

571
00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:47.760
was the best of these players.
But Twitter continues to disagree. Land and

572
00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:51.719
you were at the game. You
said that the reaction when Jackson does something

573
00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:55.039
poorly is extremely palpable. Fans seemed
to kind of be impatient with him.

574
00:36:55.239 --> 00:37:00.880
What are your guys' thoughts on this
quartette of mediocrity at this point. Yeah,

575
00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:05.000
I think Jackson largely held his own
He did make a couple of his

576
00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:08.000
own shots. He had that pull
up jumper, he banked in another pull

577
00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:12.760
up jumper, so he had a
couple of moments. I don't think he's

578
00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:15.320
bad. I think he's got room
to grow, certainly, but I think

579
00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:21.599
he is the best option for the
team currently. I was surprised that Johnny

580
00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:25.280
Furfey was the guy and pretty much
the only guy out of the rest of

581
00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:29.440
the four that they tried. Not
that he was bad, but he certainly

582
00:37:29.719 --> 00:37:34.880
his defense I think improved, but
he is a pretty slow and relatively unaware

583
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:37.440
defender to this point, and that
burned them a couple of times, gave

584
00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:40.480
it some shots, gave it some
looks because of that, because he just

585
00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:44.280
couldn't stay with his guy very well
or didn't know exactly where he was supposed

586
00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:46.679
to be. That'll improve, but
you know, that's definitely a problem with

587
00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:50.599
a young player right now. He
did hit a couple threes that was nice.

588
00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:52.920
I think he holds his own on
offense pretty well. That's always good

589
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:57.239
to see Timberlake. Yeah, I
mean, they're just they punted him.

590
00:37:57.280 --> 00:37:59.840
They just punted Timberlake in this game, and same with McDowell. Was actually

591
00:37:59.880 --> 00:38:06.039
the surprised that McDowell got nothing,
considering that I thought he was playing pretty

592
00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:08.039
well the last handful of games,
So I was really surprised to see him

593
00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:12.119
literally only get two point four seconds
at the very end. But I guess

594
00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:15.159
that that is a really indicator if
I think where self sees this team is

595
00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:19.639
pretty much literally only six players because
Parker Brown also only played two minutes and

596
00:38:19.719 --> 00:38:23.679
had nothing else. With no hesitation
whatsoever, I would have said if you

597
00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:27.519
had asked me before this game,
who plays more against the Huskies, Jamorry

598
00:38:27.559 --> 00:38:30.360
McDowell Johnny Furfey with zero hesitation,
I would have said Jamary McDowell. And

599
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:35.320
it couldn't have been more wrong.
We didn't say how many minutes that Furfree

600
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:37.840
played, but it was more than
the zero for Jamary McDowell. What did

601
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.760
Furfee play in this game? I'm
guessing probably about twelve something like that.

602
00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:46.960
Fourteen. Yeah. Elmarco Jackson on
this season in eight games is only averaging

603
00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:51.159
six points two rebounds, but he
is averaging three assists. He's been a

604
00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:54.480
good passer. Also a ninety four
percent free throw shooter. That's huge.

605
00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:59.159
He's a excellent free throw shooter,
maybe the team's best, despite being a

606
00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:04.199
freshman. Three point percentage just twenty
percent three for fifteen and less than forty

607
00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:07.000
percent from the floor. That's another
thing. Much like Dawant Harris, I

608
00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:09.960
think will change as he gets more
comfortable. He's not gonna have another eight

609
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:14.239
games. I don't think he's shooting
thirty seven percent from the floor over the

610
00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:17.159
next eight games. The arrow is
pointing upward with Jackson, I think it's

611
00:39:17.199 --> 00:39:21.639
pointing sideways. With Furfey, we
kind of know what he's gonna be asked

612
00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:23.440
to do. He's gonna be asked
to go make threes and everything else may

613
00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:27.559
just kind of be a liability this
year. Timberlake, the arrow is pointing

614
00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:30.239
straight down and McDowell's a question mark. Nick, is that kind of fair?

615
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:31.639
I don't know, what do you
think of these guys? Yeah,

616
00:39:32.239 --> 00:39:35.760
I think I definitely say mc dawell
is a question mark at this point.

617
00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:37.840
Iq. I'm kind of surprised that
he didn't play in this game too.

618
00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:42.320
I'm really surprised Nick. Timberlake hasn't
played at all. Obviously he struggled,

619
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:45.440
But you think Bill self would be
a little bit more keen to get a

620
00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:47.719
guy with experience in the game.
But that's a whole that's a whole nother

621
00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:52.880
conversation. Seems really odd. But
Timberlake just isn't close. Just not close

622
00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:57.079
either either. So Yeah, and
there was no need for Parker. Like

623
00:39:57.360 --> 00:40:01.639
the number of minutes that Dickinson and
Brown play will almost always get you forty,

624
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:06.840
like it might be forty two.
It might be if they decided to

625
00:40:06.880 --> 00:40:08.719
play with two bigs for a little
bit. It might be thirty seven if

626
00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:13.880
it's walk on time. But when
Dickinson plays thirty eight, Parker's not seeing

627
00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:15.679
the floor for more than two.
Like, that's just how it's going to

628
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:24.000
work. Somebody who saw the floor
plenty well, so kind of because this

629
00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:28.119
was kind of a reverse White Guy
of the Game because Cam Spencer is a

630
00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:30.400
good player and he didn't make anything. I think he was one for seven

631
00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:34.119
on threes. The row in the
foot didn't help, and then he had

632
00:40:34.159 --> 00:40:37.440
a great flop that got him a
few free throws. Alex Caravan made a

633
00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:42.480
couple, so I'll give you some
music for that. But holy crap,

634
00:40:42.760 --> 00:40:47.119
this is more of an honorary White
Guy of the Game honoree because Tristan Newton

635
00:40:47.239 --> 00:40:52.320
stepped up with one of the best
games by any player in college basketball this

636
00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:55.000
year. Landon as someone who was
there, it was six threes, but

637
00:40:55.119 --> 00:41:00.639
it had to feel like a hundred, yeah, especially because like one of

638
00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:06.639
them was from like twenty seven feet
out. One of them was a fade

639
00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:09.480
step back at the end. I
remember the step back, step back at

640
00:41:09.519 --> 00:41:15.239
the horn was great, and he
only hit like one or two that were

641
00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:20.760
truly like normal. The rest were
all really impressive makes later in the shot

642
00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:22.840
clock, even not right at the
buzzer. Yeah, he was. He

643
00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:24.639
was tremendous. He was. He
was really fantastic. I mean, he

644
00:41:24.679 --> 00:41:29.800
scored like what forty eight percent of
Yukon's points or something like that. He

645
00:41:29.800 --> 00:41:32.400
had thirty one other sixty five.
He was. He was a special,

646
00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:37.920
special player in that game. I
mean, I'm not not Buddy healed exactly,

647
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:39.920
but that's that's what I was thinking
of. That's what it was for

648
00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:45.719
the first he was shut down like
he They shut him down pretty good down

649
00:41:45.760 --> 00:41:47.599
the stretch, and I'm I'm stunned
it wasn't him that took the shot.

650
00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:50.920
I'm stunned they went with Spencer and
to take that shot in the end,

651
00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:53.039
I thought for sure, I posted
on Twitter with five minutes left, this

652
00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:58.400
game is coming down to a Tristan
Newton three. I don't know if it's

653
00:41:58.400 --> 00:42:00.360
gonna win the game or if him
missing its result in then losing the game,

654
00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:04.840
but it's coming down to it.
And he didn't attempt to three over

655
00:42:04.880 --> 00:42:07.760
the last seven minutes of the night. So thank you for that, I

656
00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:10.440
guess, and people on Twitter are
talking about how it's always a scrub that

657
00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:15.440
goes off against Kansas. Christan Newton
had nineteen and ten in the National championship

658
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:17.960
games. He's probably at this point
the favorite for Big East Player of the

659
00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:22.639
Year, so he's definitely not a
nobody. You did have some some doozies,

660
00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:27.199
like Hasandiara, who's an eighteen percent
three point shooter making one. I

661
00:42:27.239 --> 00:42:30.039
mean, I get that, But
there is also like Yukon's good. They

662
00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:34.239
don't normally make a ton of threes. They made more than they than they

663
00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:37.519
typically do in this game, but
so did Kansas, and Yukon was You'll

664
00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:40.320
definitely give him a few more threes
than they normally make. They only made

665
00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:43.679
four in the second half. Figure
that would slow down when they had seven

666
00:42:43.679 --> 00:42:45.840
and a half time, and Kansas
hung right in there with them. If

667
00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:50.760
Kansas has ever outscored by just six
points on three pointers, they're going to

668
00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:53.679
win ninety five percent of the games
because they have one of the best interior

669
00:42:53.800 --> 00:42:59.440
offenses and one of the best interior
defenses in college basketball. You saw it

670
00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:02.480
here. We have one player left
to talk about. As this recap goes

671
00:43:02.559 --> 00:43:07.480
long and it really isn't. And
the reason that this I don't think will

672
00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:10.639
take very long is because there simply
is no criticism that I don't think any

673
00:43:10.679 --> 00:43:15.880
of us can have. But the
performance landing that kJ Adams had or whoever

674
00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:20.800
which onever W two wants to read
this, I think should go down as

675
00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:24.280
one of the best performances that anybody
under Bill self has had. Yeah,

676
00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:28.519
Nick, tell us about it.
Yeah. kJ Adams had eighteen points,

677
00:43:28.519 --> 00:43:30.639
six or ten from the floor,
five rebounds, two steals, two blocks,

678
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:36.239
tremendous altogether, was mostly good on
the line to six for nine starting

679
00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:37.760
heading into this game. I believe
he was twenty five percent from the free

680
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:43.159
throw line. So yeah, two, Yeah, he had some big ones

681
00:43:43.199 --> 00:43:46.400
down the stretch and UKNDA dedicated a
ton of attention but just slowing down Dickinson

682
00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:50.440
in this game. So kJ had
some open lanes throughout the night and he

683
00:43:50.559 --> 00:43:53.559
took advantage of it. kJ Adams, for people who do not know,

684
00:43:53.719 --> 00:43:59.960
left immediately after the game to fly
home to Texas because the very next day

685
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:05.480
after this game is the funeral of
his mom and to go out there.

686
00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:08.519
And he hasn't missed a game,
by the way, played in MAUI played

687
00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:13.440
this week to go out there with
everything. Bill self talked about this on

688
00:44:13.559 --> 00:44:16.119
Hawk Talk how it really hasn't hit
him yet, so he's expecting after this

689
00:44:16.440 --> 00:44:20.760
there could be a little bit of
a lull. And right now you're just

690
00:44:20.840 --> 00:44:23.519
really going on adrenaline because it's not
like you're sleeping or doing anything. After

691
00:44:23.639 --> 00:44:28.800
something like that happens. But every
time that I get a tweet in my

692
00:44:28.960 --> 00:44:32.280
mentions the rest of time about how
these guys don't care, about how these

693
00:44:32.320 --> 00:44:37.119
guys aren't putting an effort, I'm
going to point that person back to this

694
00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:42.960
performance by kJ Adams, because these
guys are unbelievable, the mental toughness it

695
00:44:43.079 --> 00:44:45.599
takes to play sports at this high
of a level and to go out there

696
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:51.039
and play your best game of the
season in these stakes. You saw an

697
00:44:51.079 --> 00:44:55.360
emotional kJ Adams all night, with
the lot of fist pumps, a lot

698
00:44:55.400 --> 00:44:59.400
of shouting. He was into this
game, and Bill self said after this

699
00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:02.840
game that they played it for one
person. Hopefully that sort of performance can

700
00:45:02.920 --> 00:45:07.920
make one of the worst stretches of
that poor kid's life a little bit better,

701
00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:12.559
because wow, what a performance,
and especially considering the circumstances I don't

702
00:45:12.599 --> 00:45:15.559
know how someone can go out there
and do that with all that on their

703
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:21.320
mind. Yeah, special performance from
kJ He was fantastic. Fifty percent from

704
00:45:21.320 --> 00:45:23.760
the floor, sixty four percent from
three, and seventy percent of the line.

705
00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:28.000
All of those numbers will work.
Usually whenever you have those stats,

706
00:45:28.039 --> 00:45:30.679
you're gonna score more than sixty nine
points. But they played a very good

707
00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:35.519
defensive team, so that has something
to do with it. They take down

708
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:39.039
Yukon Kansas seven and one on the
season, with nothing but green grass and

709
00:45:39.119 --> 00:45:43.400
high tides on the schedule for them
coming up. ESPN said they do not

710
00:45:43.480 --> 00:45:46.119
play a team that is currently slated
to be ranked until mid January, and

711
00:45:46.239 --> 00:45:50.480
that is Oklahoma, who's number twenty
five at home. And if you think

712
00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:53.679
that that's going to offer a true
threat to Kansas, then you haven't watched

713
00:45:53.719 --> 00:46:00.159
Porter Moser coach. They don't play
a quality basketball team in this conference for

714
00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:02.119
a long long time. So we
will see how that goes. But for

715
00:46:02.239 --> 00:46:06.239
now, Yes, seven and one, big win, lots of quality dubs,

716
00:46:06.400 --> 00:46:12.079
good stuff, any closing thoughts,
great win, good resilient win for

717
00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:14.960
the Jayhawks. They trailed there for
a minute. Yukon made a good push,

718
00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:20.480
but Kansas as they usually do.
They wake up when they have to,

719
00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:23.039
they get buckets when they have to, they make bigger and better plays

720
00:46:23.159 --> 00:46:27.639
than you will in their building,
and they get out with another top ten

721
00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:32.519
victory. Yep. Any closing thoughts, Nope, summoned up. Let's roll.

722
00:46:36.519 --> 00:46:42.159
Well, there aren't a lot of
Big twelve games because Kansas Yukon was

723
00:46:42.159 --> 00:46:45.199
pretty much the only interesting game of
the whole week. But there is a

724
00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:49.039
little bit of information here, so
I guess let's do it big wow.

725
00:46:49.199 --> 00:46:52.400
Stuttering bill self there Big twelve games
land and lead us off, so I

726
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:57.480
don't stutter my way into the next
dimension. Oklahoma State and West Virginia both

727
00:46:57.519 --> 00:47:00.039
have four losses already, as both
schools lost their twelve Big East Battle.

728
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:05.039
The Cowboys lost at home to the
Blue Jays of Creighton seventy nine sixty five

729
00:47:05.119 --> 00:47:08.199
they trailed by eighteen and a half, never really close there, and the

730
00:47:08.239 --> 00:47:13.280
Mountaineers lost to the fighting Richard Patino's
not Richard, It's Reck. He has

731
00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:16.400
a sun named Richard, confusing it's
the real Wreck seventy nine seventy three.

732
00:47:16.519 --> 00:47:20.760
Though Saint John zuom with you know, one of the greatest coaches ever is

733
00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:24.920
gonna be pretty alright this year.
Other Big twelve Big East Battle games.

734
00:47:25.039 --> 00:47:28.679
As I guess, I'm just taking
over this segment. Iowa State one big

735
00:47:28.800 --> 00:47:30.880
at one and six to Paul to
Paul, the team who always has like

736
00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:36.559
two top fifty recruits and always loses
twenty games, ninety nine to eighty.

737
00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:40.039
Cyclones win that twenty four points from
Trey King number sixth. Houston got twenty

738
00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:44.400
three points from l J. Crier. They held off Xavier on the road

739
00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:49.320
sixty six to sixty. The Kougs
are eight to zero, Butler needed overtime

740
00:47:49.400 --> 00:47:52.840
to take down Texas Tech one oh
three ninety five. That is unofficially the

741
00:47:52.960 --> 00:47:55.800
high scoring game in Red Raiders history. It's got to be close at least.

742
00:47:57.639 --> 00:48:00.000
I can't remember the Red Raiders ever
scoring ninety five and then they lose

743
00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:10.400
largest the double the triple overtime game
in Oklahoma. I'm sure they scored eight

744
00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:15.320
to one five in that game.
Yeah what Landon said. They scored one

745
00:48:15.400 --> 00:48:19.679
hundred and fifty points on Kentucky and
as I don't know how that even happens.

746
00:48:20.360 --> 00:48:22.920
I haven't watched much clips of that
game. I would like to sit

747
00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:28.480
down and watch it sometime and just
see how that's possible, because what that's

748
00:48:28.519 --> 00:48:35.400
a that's that's two points every geez, but that that that's so much scoring.

749
00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:38.559
That's three points a minute more than
that, Like, that's that's gotta

750
00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:43.960
be that that's that's three points of
possession basically with how fast they were playing

751
00:48:44.039 --> 00:48:47.840
that night, the three over two. The most they've scored under self was

752
00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:52.039
one of the Shamanad games. I
think they scored like one hundred and twenty.

753
00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:59.519
I think that's right unless they I'm
talking about yeah, then that then

754
00:48:59.559 --> 00:49:02.079
then you have games like that where
they just where they just blow through people.

755
00:49:02.159 --> 00:49:06.519
But they score in the one twenties
against Shamanad in twenty fifteen. I

756
00:49:06.559 --> 00:49:13.400
think that's the most I've seen them
score. Good, good riveting discussion there,

757
00:49:13.440 --> 00:49:16.960
ye eating Hey, did you say
that TCU plays Georgetown on the road.

758
00:49:17.320 --> 00:49:23.000
Yeah, they do, and they're
favored by twelve. Yeah, Georgetown

759
00:49:23.199 --> 00:49:27.280
is awful. I would like to
give even though they're not in the Big

760
00:49:27.360 --> 00:49:32.639
twelve, they could be at some
point a Cal basketball update because Cal is

761
00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:37.320
two and five. They've lost four
games in a row after starting the season

762
00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:40.639
two and one. They lost at
home to Tulane, they lost at home

763
00:49:40.719 --> 00:49:45.400
to UTAP. They lost at home
to Montana State, and then they weren't

764
00:49:45.440 --> 00:49:50.039
competitive at San Diego State once the
game got to overtime. Pretty disappointing.

765
00:49:50.119 --> 00:49:52.880
Land and Louisville has been better.
They actually are over five hundred right now.

766
00:49:53.039 --> 00:49:57.599
Cal's two and five. Let's check
in on Georgetown, because I'm pretty

767
00:49:57.599 --> 00:50:02.440
sure that's bears all. Georgetown's five
and two. But still, I guess

768
00:50:02.519 --> 00:50:07.760
five and two is not enough to
be just a single point underdog to uh

769
00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:10.400
TCU at home. Oh yeah,
I'm looking at the teams Georgetown has beat.

770
00:50:10.440 --> 00:50:13.800
Here we go the way. I
haven't even heard of some of these

771
00:50:13.880 --> 00:50:20.039
teams. So Georgetown beat Lemoyne,
They beat Mount Saint Mary's by nine,

772
00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:25.880
They beat American News. This is
outstanding. Here, they played American University

773
00:50:27.320 --> 00:50:34.000
and one in overtime. They beat
Jackson State, which is something Missouri can't

774
00:50:34.039 --> 00:50:37.360
say. And then they beat Merrimac. What is the best win of those?

775
00:50:37.599 --> 00:50:44.440
Is it American in overtime? Either
that a Lemoyne maybe? Oh gosh,

776
00:50:44.519 --> 00:50:46.480
well, they beat Lemoyne by forty, so I'm gonna say lemoy can't

777
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:51.400
be worthy of being their best win. I found the way for the h

778
00:50:51.639 --> 00:50:55.840
one ninety five Kansas game, which
was Roy Williams versus Rick Patino. Yeah,

779
00:50:55.840 --> 00:51:00.320
it was what was the shooting percentage
seventy five? They went fifty two

780
00:51:00.320 --> 00:51:05.760
of eighty five from the floor,
eighty five shots. Yeah, that's and

781
00:51:05.840 --> 00:51:10.480
Kentucky still ninety five points they hit. Kentucky hit seventeen threes. Did they

782
00:51:10.840 --> 00:51:20.000
track of turnovers? Sixty the recorded
turnovers at least twenty seven turnovers for Kentucky,

783
00:51:21.679 --> 00:51:24.840
forty four free throws and went thirty
six of forty four. Yeah,

784
00:51:24.920 --> 00:51:30.880
that helps downtown by comparison, and
thirty one points. So by comparison,

785
00:51:31.000 --> 00:51:35.719
Kansas took forty six shots in the
game against Yukon and then they took eighty

786
00:51:35.840 --> 00:51:39.480
five and the Kentucky won fifties score. That's Roy for you, though it

787
00:51:39.599 --> 00:51:44.199
is very Roy does give up ninety
five but still win and win fifty five

788
00:51:44.239 --> 00:51:47.320
points. Yep, that's that's amazing. Uh, one of the one of

789
00:51:47.360 --> 00:51:52.440
the stupidest things you're ever gonna see. I mean, that's that's Wilt's one

790
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:57.000
hundred point game. Like you're you're
never seeing anything like that in college basketball

791
00:51:57.000 --> 00:52:00.800
again, mainly because we've let Cretans
like Tony Bennett and made this sport.

792
00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:07.159
That's true awful. Can't believe you
know the scene at the end of The

793
00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:12.800
Hunger Games where they find out that
the game maker screwed up and let two

794
00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:15.360
people win, and they just banished
him into a room, and that's how

795
00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:20.119
the movie ended. That's what needs
to happen to Tony Bennett. They just

796
00:52:20.239 --> 00:52:22.960
need to take him to a room, lock him in there. Nobody needs

797
00:52:23.000 --> 00:52:27.199
to say anything. We all understood
why you're here. You're here because you've

798
00:52:27.280 --> 00:52:30.199
ruined and made a product worse and
we're not going to put up with it

799
00:52:30.199 --> 00:52:35.280
anymore. So that's it, right, no objections to that. Na.

800
00:52:35.440 --> 00:52:38.239
I'm good with that. He can
have his family and whatnot. I don't

801
00:52:38.280 --> 00:52:42.679
want him to die. I just
want him away from my favorite sport to

802
00:52:42.760 --> 00:52:45.840
watch in the winter months. Like
he's terrible to He's done terrible things to

803
00:52:45.920 --> 00:52:52.079
college basketball and Virginia by the way, I guess even at Blind Squirrel Finds

804
00:52:52.079 --> 00:52:54.840
and not. Kudos to you,
Tony Bennett and your your who's scored eighty

805
00:52:54.960 --> 00:53:00.239
one and counting on Syracuse today as
we're doing acc play on the first Saturday

806
00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:07.039
in December for some stupid, wacky
reason. Yeah, I don't need that.

807
00:53:07.519 --> 00:53:09.360
But I mean if they score eighty
one, then that's different. I

808
00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:13.920
guess it counts. It counts that
will will let them count this one.

809
00:53:14.599 --> 00:53:19.920
Other games, there's one despite getting
a buzzer beater from out Yeah, I

810
00:53:19.960 --> 00:53:22.400
guess there is a half, despite
getting a buzzer beater from Zach Edy,

811
00:53:22.679 --> 00:53:28.719
who had thirty five points and fourteen
rebounds to send the game in no overtime.

812
00:53:29.199 --> 00:53:31.960
Number one Perdue loses at Northwestern for
the second season in a row,

813
00:53:32.559 --> 00:53:37.800
ninety two to eighty eight. And
my goodness, if there was ever a

814
00:53:37.920 --> 00:53:42.880
man that was put on this earth
to defeat Perdue, it is uh man.

815
00:53:42.920 --> 00:53:46.880
Did you guys see the highlights of
this? I haven't. I mean,

816
00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:54.679
so Northwestern stud Boo Bewie is absolutely
ridiculous. Noo what boo? I

817
00:53:54.719 --> 00:54:02.760
think it's boo, isn't it.
It's boo interesting, Yeah, it's bobooy.

818
00:54:02.880 --> 00:54:07.679
I just googled it. Whatever it
is. Boo Bwie is a stud

819
00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:13.280
because he scored thirty one in this
game on ten for twenty from the floor,

820
00:54:13.800 --> 00:54:16.320
and then last year when they took
down Number one Perdue at home,

821
00:54:16.559 --> 00:54:21.519
he had twenty six. So the
man just lives for beating number one ranked

822
00:54:21.559 --> 00:54:23.400
perdue teams, by the way,
nothing to worry about if you're Purdue,

823
00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:28.159
nothing at all. Plenty of teams
that go on to win the national championship

824
00:54:28.239 --> 00:54:31.599
wind up losing to Northwestern. It
is totally a normal thing that great teams

825
00:54:31.679 --> 00:54:37.679
do. Don't trust them. I
don't know how many more examples they have

826
00:54:37.800 --> 00:54:42.559
to give you don't trust them?
Yeah, I think you're right. And

827
00:54:42.599 --> 00:54:45.559
then also, Markett and Wisconsin are
playing as we record. It's close.

828
00:54:46.239 --> 00:54:50.440
Yeah, Marquette was down by as
many as sixteen in the first half.

829
00:54:50.920 --> 00:54:53.480
They opened the second half on like
a sixteen to two run or something.

830
00:54:53.559 --> 00:54:57.360
So that game is neck and neck. Marquette very well. Maybe in the

831
00:54:57.440 --> 00:55:00.840
list of ranked teams to lose since
the last show, Kansas is going to

832
00:55:00.880 --> 00:55:02.239
be two or three in the polls
depending on what happens in this game.

833
00:55:02.360 --> 00:55:07.159
So their stay outside the top three, sir, was short. How would

834
00:55:07.239 --> 00:55:09.599
you rank the top five teams in
college basketball right now? What do you

835
00:55:09.679 --> 00:55:15.400
think, nick? I would probably
put Arizona first, Marquette penning a win,

836
00:55:16.239 --> 00:55:20.280
it looks like at this point maybe
will win. They're down by one

837
00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:22.800
now. If they win, I'll
put them at two. I think Kansas

838
00:55:22.880 --> 00:55:30.199
is three, and then I think
you slide Perdue down to four, and

839
00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:34.000
then you round up the top five. I think could put Kentucky five,

840
00:55:34.079 --> 00:55:37.079
and then Yukon and six. So
I think what Nick said the top four

841
00:55:37.280 --> 00:55:40.559
is exactly what you will see happen. Assuming Marquette does hold on and win,

842
00:55:40.960 --> 00:55:44.840
Arizona's going to go up to one. Marquette with a win, goes

843
00:55:44.880 --> 00:55:49.400
to two, Kansas goes to three, and then you have Produce sliding down

844
00:55:49.440 --> 00:55:52.039
to four. And after that,
I agree Nick, I think Kentucky's as

845
00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:55.920
good as a top five team.
I don't see them penalizing Yukon very much

846
00:55:57.000 --> 00:56:00.519
for that loss to Kansas. Houston
is there for some reason, I mean

847
00:56:01.480 --> 00:56:06.599
fraud. They haven't played anyone their
number one single year. Oh yeah,

848
00:56:06.639 --> 00:56:10.400
everything, okay, Daddy kimpom what
happened in the NCAA tournament last year?

849
00:56:10.599 --> 00:56:15.360
I mean, come on, Houston. Houston could play a directional like Division

850
00:56:15.400 --> 00:56:17.280
III school and with no one would
bat and I at their non conference schedule,

851
00:56:17.719 --> 00:56:22.039
Kevin Samson plays nobody. He needs
to take lessons from Hubert Davis or

852
00:56:22.119 --> 00:56:27.719
someone else on how to actually make
a schedule. Louisiana Monroe Texas A and

853
00:56:27.800 --> 00:56:30.599
in Corpus Christy Stetson thousand, Utah. I guess that was I mean,

854
00:56:30.719 --> 00:56:36.119
Utah sucks, but at least they're
playing a power five Dayton Montana Xavier,

855
00:56:36.159 --> 00:56:38.760
they get one of the worst Big
East teams and they have Rice Jackson State.

856
00:56:39.159 --> 00:56:42.639
Oh, finally, Texas A and
N they finally play a ranked team

857
00:56:42.920 --> 00:56:46.239
and it's December sixteenth, and then
after that Texas State Penn. I mean,

858
00:56:46.320 --> 00:56:50.239
come on, like, are we
seriously gonna playt the Houston game again

859
00:56:50.320 --> 00:56:53.440
this year? They just beat Xavier
by six Come on, don't get me.

860
00:56:53.639 --> 00:56:57.599
I fully agree with Nick. I
don't think Houston should be anywhere near

861
00:56:57.960 --> 00:57:00.719
like Yukon. Yukon's gonna schedule this
stuff and lose narrow games at Allen Fieldhouse,

862
00:57:00.719 --> 00:57:05.519
and we're gonna put them behind a
Houston team that their second best win

863
00:57:05.559 --> 00:57:08.559
of the year is what Dayton like. Come on, I'm entirely in agreement

864
00:57:08.599 --> 00:57:12.519
there. I think Houston's gonna have
a step back year in the Big Twelve.

865
00:57:12.519 --> 00:57:14.719
I could see them losing six or
seven league games, even though I

866
00:57:14.719 --> 00:57:16.559
do think they're pretty good. But
from a rankings perspective, no, I'm

867
00:57:16.559 --> 00:57:22.280
not gonna keep sliding Gonzaga Junior up
two spots every week because they keep beating

868
00:57:22.760 --> 00:57:27.119
Stetson and Rice and penalizing the teams
that are playing top five showdowns on the

869
00:57:27.199 --> 00:57:30.440
road. Landon, Is that fair? Uh? Yes, I think that's

870
00:57:30.480 --> 00:57:34.239
holy fair. I mean, then
rounding out the rest of the top fair

871
00:57:36.280 --> 00:57:40.199
step up in the vocab today and
then what, yeah, Duke is seven?

872
00:57:40.280 --> 00:57:44.159
Ny should fall. Duke's nowhere near
the top ten right now, get

873
00:57:44.239 --> 00:57:47.639
out of here with that. Miami, I know they got so I think

874
00:57:47.679 --> 00:57:52.559
they're solid, but they've unless like
Michigan State's a mess and Duke has not

875
00:57:52.679 --> 00:57:55.800
passed two of their three tests this
year. Kansas has passed three of their

876
00:57:55.840 --> 00:58:00.239
four. So I mean, we'll
we'll see me. Got bushwhacked pretty good

877
00:58:00.280 --> 00:58:04.920
at Kentucky, But I still think
they're solid. Baylor is probably the sleeper

878
00:58:05.000 --> 00:58:07.800
here. Baylor is a team that
I think should be five to six,

879
00:58:07.039 --> 00:58:12.679
maybe at lowest. Right now.
They look nasty and their schedule hasn't been

880
00:58:12.719 --> 00:58:16.239
as bad as Houston's. They haven't
played an absolute gauntlet yet, but they're

881
00:58:16.239 --> 00:58:22.719
getting ready to play a much increased
schedule of difficulty because they play Michigan State

882
00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:24.480
and Duke coming up, and Seaton
Hall is not a lay up either.

883
00:58:24.920 --> 00:58:29.880
But yeah, for the most part, these teams Baylor and Houston have not

884
00:58:30.039 --> 00:58:31.679
played super tough schedules, so we
have no idea how good they are.

885
00:58:31.840 --> 00:58:36.760
Give me a team like Yukon being
much higher who's actually played some tougher games

886
00:58:36.800 --> 00:58:38.480
than one of those teams in the
top five, as if it matters.

887
00:58:38.599 --> 00:58:43.079
Rankings are irrelevant, but still,
and yeah, I mean, everybody who

888
00:58:43.119 --> 00:58:46.760
went to Maui has played such a
big arsenal of games against good teams that

889
00:58:47.079 --> 00:58:51.719
I don't think really any of them
should be penalized for narrow losses, especially

890
00:58:51.760 --> 00:58:58.039
on the road. Yeah, I'd
much rather teams have the guts to schedule

891
00:58:58.119 --> 00:59:02.360
good opponents and dare to lose and
then not get grossly punished for it.

892
00:59:02.400 --> 00:59:06.599
I think that makes a lot of
sense. Like if Marquette winds up losing

893
00:59:06.679 --> 00:59:08.559
in Wisconsin, I think Kansas is
going to go to number two. But

894
00:59:08.719 --> 00:59:13.880
I mean, where do you are
you seriously gonna say if Marquette loses a

895
00:59:13.960 --> 00:59:16.920
tough home a home game they scheduled
at Wisconsin, a team that already has

896
00:59:16.960 --> 00:59:22.159
a win over Kansas on the resume, a team that narrowly lost to Purdue,

897
00:59:22.480 --> 00:59:25.440
Like, are we really gonna slide
that team behind freaking Houston in the

898
00:59:25.519 --> 00:59:30.159
polls because that just shouldn't happen.
Yeah, that's just done. It's what.

899
00:59:30.320 --> 00:59:34.880
It's how we saw Gonzaga grab a
stranglehold on the number one ranking for

900
00:59:35.000 --> 00:59:37.280
so long and then lose to a
four seed every time they got to the

901
00:59:37.360 --> 00:59:43.000
second weekend because oh no, here
come the actual athletic teams. It's ridiculous

902
00:59:43.559 --> 00:59:45.519
ranked teams to lose since the last
show. For now, there's just two

903
00:59:45.599 --> 00:59:50.599
teams on this list. Number one
Perdue, who's totally not gonna do it

904
00:59:50.639 --> 00:59:54.760
again this year guys lost to Northwestern, and number four you Khon lost to

905
00:59:54.880 --> 00:59:59.159
Daddy Bill. Yeah. I feel
like that Bill beats the national champs.

906
00:59:59.199 --> 01:00:04.800
He gets the rap black build set
these bills to myself. Maybe Marquette,

907
01:00:04.800 --> 01:00:07.239
we'll see. They're down five with
nine minutes left. But everybody who's lost

908
01:00:07.360 --> 01:00:10.360
ranked teams wise is in the top
is in the top five. Right now.

909
01:00:10.679 --> 01:00:15.199
I'm looking at other games because there
is there's a healthy amount of Saturday

910
01:00:15.239 --> 01:00:16.800
games. We're recording this earlier in
the day, so a lot of them

911
01:00:16.880 --> 01:00:22.239
haven't finished. But like Gonzaga does
play a pretty tough game against Andy Enfield

912
01:00:22.280 --> 01:00:25.239
and his hot wife tonight in Las
Vegas, and then Colorado State may lose.

913
01:00:25.280 --> 01:00:29.480
They're going to Washington in that same
tournament, so there may be more.

914
01:00:29.559 --> 01:00:31.920
But other than that, unless you
think Arizona loses to Colgate or do

915
01:00:32.119 --> 01:00:36.199
lose US to Georgia Tech, there's
not going to be very many other ranked

916
01:00:36.239 --> 01:00:39.079
teams to lose since the last show. Any other thoughts on other teams in

917
01:00:39.119 --> 01:00:45.559
college basketball? Uh no, but
Houston is not good. I just think

918
01:00:45.679 --> 01:00:51.480
that Houston should be number one,
Gonzaga should be number two, and Stetson

919
01:00:51.480 --> 01:00:55.559
should be. It's my top twenty
five YEP sets in three YU four.

920
01:00:57.239 --> 01:01:00.559
Really don't need to do the Houston
Gonzaga game again until they win anything and

921
01:01:00.679 --> 01:01:05.320
people can say Gonzaga has been to
two national titles and neither of those runs

922
01:01:05.360 --> 01:01:08.760
that they play anybody seated better than
a five. Until Gonzaga gets through and

923
01:01:09.000 --> 01:01:14.320
proves that they can win consistently with
the top teams, I don't care if

924
01:01:14.320 --> 01:01:15.840
anybody tells me they have because they
haven't. We've all seen it, we

925
01:01:15.880 --> 01:01:20.440
all have eyeballs. Until they prove
they can do that, don't need them

926
01:01:20.599 --> 01:01:23.119
anywhere near my top three or four
in the rankings. Same with Houston beat

927
01:01:23.199 --> 01:01:30.000
somebody with a pulse. Ask rock
Chuk blog, Let's see how you guys

928
01:01:30.079 --> 01:01:32.400
did today, because I put this
question out just a couple hours before we

929
01:01:32.480 --> 01:01:36.719
did the podcast, and we have
seven responses, which is pretty good.

930
01:01:37.280 --> 01:01:40.239
Let's start with one from at Ryan
Underscore Landrath. How would you rank your

931
01:01:40.360 --> 01:01:44.119
top five and you don't have to
rank them, just who are, in

932
01:01:44.239 --> 01:01:49.840
your opinion the three to five best
coaches in college basketball right now? Bill

933
01:01:49.960 --> 01:01:57.039
self? Yeah? Us, Wait, Scott you can't. You can't actually

934
01:01:57.159 --> 01:02:01.519
mean Scott Drew Iso. I most
certainly do. Yeah, he is.

935
01:02:01.719 --> 01:02:07.159
He absolutely is program building, recruiting
and winning, executing on the big stages,

936
01:02:07.199 --> 01:02:10.239
and he's got a ring top five
dunk. After that, I think

937
01:02:10.280 --> 01:02:17.559
it gets moderately tricky unless there's just
someone I'm blatantly forgetting. I think that

938
01:02:19.000 --> 01:02:23.159
Danny Hurley is a really good coach. He's really elevated that program back to

939
01:02:23.239 --> 01:02:29.119
where it is. I think that
Tommy Lloyd has proven himself to be one

940
01:02:29.159 --> 01:02:31.920
of the best coaches in college basketball, though he hasn't had that deep tournament

941
01:02:32.000 --> 01:02:36.000
run yet. And I still think
you have to put Mark few up there.

942
01:02:36.599 --> 01:02:38.119
What he's been able to do consistently. I know he hasn't won a

943
01:02:38.199 --> 01:02:43.760
ring, but the guy is a
very good recruiter and consistent dominance is worth

944
01:02:43.840 --> 01:02:45.199
saying. I mean, they've won
that that conference. I know it sucks,

945
01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:49.679
but they haven't had a down year
in a very very long time.

946
01:02:49.960 --> 01:02:52.400
I think Patino still has a legit
argument to be top five. Oh,

947
01:02:52.480 --> 01:02:55.360
he does been a premier program,
but he is one of these great coaches.

948
01:02:55.880 --> 01:03:00.360
He and Bill are the only two
with active coaches with two rings.

949
01:03:00.400 --> 01:03:05.960
I think, yeah, Shaka's actually
done a pretty good job building a program.

950
01:03:06.079 --> 01:03:07.599
We kind of all know how that
goes whenever the games get tough.

951
01:03:07.679 --> 01:03:12.920
But I think his he at least
is rising the ranks more than I ever

952
01:03:13.079 --> 01:03:17.760
thought he would. And Cal I
didn't say Cal, He's not in the

953
01:03:17.800 --> 01:03:22.039
top five. John cal Perry's not
in the top five. I mean he's

954
01:03:22.039 --> 01:03:25.199
a program builder. No, he's
won with recruiting. I think that carries

955
01:03:25.239 --> 01:03:29.920
that holds some water. It does, it does, But I also think

956
01:03:29.960 --> 01:03:35.079
when you look at his resume compared
to talent now, I don't really even

957
01:03:35.119 --> 01:03:37.760
fault him for not winning the championship. Honestly, with that thirty nine to

958
01:03:37.880 --> 01:03:42.360
zero team, because that's just that
team was so so freaking good, even

959
01:03:42.360 --> 01:03:45.559
though they didn't win. But,
like you know, I think he's had

960
01:03:45.599 --> 01:03:47.559
a lot more struggles than he should
have considering who he had on his teams,

961
01:03:49.880 --> 01:03:53.119
especially recently, because John Calaperi made
four Final fours in a five year

962
01:03:53.199 --> 01:03:58.159
window eleven, twelve, fourteen,
and fifteen, and he was the undisputed

963
01:03:58.199 --> 01:04:01.800
top dog in college basketball. He
hasn't made one since. I know we

964
01:04:01.880 --> 01:04:04.679
make a lot of Perry Yellis jokes, but he has not made a Final

965
01:04:04.760 --> 01:04:09.199
four since Perry Yellis was at Kansas. Like, it's been a while now,

966
01:04:09.920 --> 01:04:13.760
and he's had great teams, as
you've pointed out, nobody's put more

967
01:04:13.760 --> 01:04:16.000
players in the NBA than John Cali
Perry. And they've lost a lot of

968
01:04:16.039 --> 01:04:19.800
Elite eight games. They lost the
Elite eight game to Auburn in Kansas City

969
01:04:19.880 --> 01:04:25.559
that Nick had tickets for. They
lost the Elite eight game to who else

970
01:04:25.559 --> 01:04:29.719
beat him? Oh, the UNC
team where Luke May hit a walk off

971
01:04:30.079 --> 01:04:33.760
game winner against them. They've had
some brutal, brutal Incia Tournament losses,

972
01:04:33.800 --> 01:04:38.559
and obviously Saint Peter's I think the
best team of any of Cal's since the

973
01:04:38.840 --> 01:04:42.320
fifteen team that was definitely the best
team in college basketball and then they win

974
01:04:42.360 --> 01:04:45.760
the title. The best one was
the Oscar Sheebway Player of the Year team

975
01:04:45.119 --> 01:04:49.239
that lost to a fifteen seed out
of nowhere. Yeah they got Sam Peters

976
01:04:50.079 --> 01:04:56.599
yep, and yeah that was so
Cali Perry needs to do definitely. This

977
01:04:56.719 --> 01:04:59.199
is a big year for Cal because
he's loaded with talent. He's got his

978
01:04:59.280 --> 01:05:01.800
freshman superstars again, and they look
really good out of the shoot. So

979
01:05:01.960 --> 01:05:05.920
we'll see at Boom and Frosty.
Let's talk about Dewan Harris. What is

980
01:05:06.000 --> 01:05:10.360
going on with Dewan Harris? He
used to be automatic around the rim.

981
01:05:10.599 --> 01:05:15.400
Doesn't even look like the same player
anymore. Nick, Yeah, we had

982
01:05:15.400 --> 01:05:17.639
a good conversation on this earlier.
I think that he's off for sure.

983
01:05:19.599 --> 01:05:24.559
Yeah, I don't know, it's
weird. I do think his lack of

984
01:05:24.599 --> 01:05:28.519
finishing is weird because that has been
an immense strength, even at low volume.

985
01:05:29.960 --> 01:05:32.760
So I don't know. I'm not
sure. I'm not worried about it

986
01:05:32.840 --> 01:05:36.559
per se yet, but it's definitely
something that is odd, and I do

987
01:05:36.639 --> 01:05:41.320
think eventually he needs to score.
I don't know, I think he kind

988
01:05:41.360 --> 01:05:44.000
of does look like the same player, a little more careless with the ball,

989
01:05:44.079 --> 01:05:45.920
but I also think he's aware of
who he's throwing to. If I

990
01:05:46.000 --> 01:05:48.760
had Hunter Dickinson on my team,
I would be a little more careless too,

991
01:05:48.880 --> 01:05:53.559
just because I expect anything I throw
up there him to grab. And

992
01:05:53.679 --> 01:05:56.800
I think that he's still kind of
learning a lot of the pieces on this

993
01:05:56.920 --> 01:05:59.960
team. I think that Dewan Harris
we have in January and February to watch

994
01:06:00.320 --> 01:06:02.280
be much different than this one.
But I actually think he kind of has

995
01:06:02.360 --> 01:06:05.039
looked the same. The ball just
hasn't gone in the basket as much.

996
01:06:05.199 --> 01:06:09.119
I think you're gonna see that improved, just because we have a huge sample

997
01:06:09.199 --> 01:06:12.280
size where he's a very good finisher
at the rim. He has a great

998
01:06:12.360 --> 01:06:15.440
touch on a lot of those a
lot of those hook shots that have we've

999
01:06:15.440 --> 01:06:16.480
seen go in more often than not. I think you're gonna see that swing

1000
01:06:16.559 --> 01:06:20.039
back sooner rather than later. But
if things are still this way one month

1001
01:06:20.079 --> 01:06:23.480
from now, when we're talking about
conference games, then I'll be on the

1002
01:06:23.519 --> 01:06:27.800
panic train. At AJ Stevenson,
the fouls were seven to six at the

1003
01:06:27.920 --> 01:06:31.000
under four time out in the second
half. Lately, both teams are at

1004
01:06:31.199 --> 01:06:36.320
or nearly double bonus by this point. So was this game better officiated?

1005
01:06:38.920 --> 01:06:43.599
No, it was horribly officiated.
I mean I like that it was.

1006
01:06:43.840 --> 01:06:48.679
It was badly officiated, though very
badly. They just don't have any consistency.

1007
01:06:49.320 --> 01:06:54.920
There was a right before Kevin mccullor
hit the game tying three, or

1008
01:06:54.960 --> 01:06:56.800
it may have been a go ahead, it may have put him up by

1009
01:06:56.840 --> 01:07:00.159
one. Right before that, Kevin
McCuller got shot to the ground and Jay

1010
01:07:00.199 --> 01:07:02.840
Billis was like, wow, that
could have been fouls on a couple different

1011
01:07:02.840 --> 01:07:06.639
guys. How was there no contact
there? And then a minute later they

1012
01:07:06.840 --> 01:07:10.920
well, we saw them call the
fouls on the three point shots that it

1013
01:07:11.000 --> 01:07:14.920
didn't look like there was much contact
there. They're just not consistent. I

1014
01:07:15.039 --> 01:07:17.159
did like how we had a fewer
number of whistles in this game. It

1015
01:07:17.199 --> 01:07:21.679
seemed like we had less momentum killing
whistles. But they just let guy,

1016
01:07:23.000 --> 01:07:26.960
They let Dickinson and Kling and just
hammer each other all night and then they

1017
01:07:27.000 --> 01:07:30.760
would call soft stuff. I don't
think they truly know. Yeah, well,

1018
01:07:30.800 --> 01:07:34.400
that one play Kevin McCuller swatted the
ball, completely made contact with the

1019
01:07:34.480 --> 01:07:36.599
ball, and they called it a
foul. Yeah, and then like that

1020
01:07:36.719 --> 01:07:41.360
first or second possession of the game, Yukon was down to one second left

1021
01:07:41.400 --> 01:07:44.360
in the shot clock and there was
actually shot clock violation, but they called

1022
01:07:44.360 --> 01:07:47.639
a foul after the shot clock violation
had happened. And how long it took

1023
01:07:47.679 --> 01:07:51.360
them to whistle a couple of those
jump balls the one that turned into a

1024
01:07:51.440 --> 01:07:56.800
shot clock violation for Kansas when could
have been called a jump with legitimately like

1025
01:07:56.920 --> 01:08:00.119
five or six seconds on the shot
clock. Yeah, it was. It

1026
01:08:00.239 --> 01:08:02.199
was weird. I thought that they
did a good job calling less fouls,

1027
01:08:02.400 --> 01:08:06.079
but the ones they called were head
scratching. So I guess this is a

1028
01:08:06.239 --> 01:08:11.360
superior result than the games where they
call forty five forty minutes. I guess,

1029
01:08:11.480 --> 01:08:14.119
so maybe it's better officiate. I
don't know. I don't know up

1030
01:08:14.159 --> 01:08:16.239
to you to decide for that.
At rock Chok eighty four, what do

1031
01:08:16.359 --> 01:08:18.800
I need to order the next time
I go to Chick fil A? I

1032
01:08:19.000 --> 01:08:24.920
like this, You guys get the
right questions to ask spicy chicken sandwich you

1033
01:08:24.960 --> 01:08:29.520
can do deluxe or not deluxe,
and then a large fry and lemonade.

1034
01:08:30.000 --> 01:08:35.079
So a question on the spicstard with
honey mustard okay, so I'll let Nick

1035
01:08:35.119 --> 01:08:39.720
go in a second. But a
question about the spicy. So, McDonald's

1036
01:08:39.760 --> 01:08:43.920
ran a thing where they had a
spicy McChicken and it tasted exactly the same

1037
01:08:44.039 --> 01:08:47.920
as the regular McChicken. Is the
chick chicken is kind of spicy? Correct?

1038
01:08:48.000 --> 01:08:50.399
Yeah, that's why it didn't feel
any or it didn't taste any different.

1039
01:08:50.640 --> 01:08:57.600
So is the Chick fil a spicy
chicken sandwich noticeably spicier than the regular?

1040
01:08:58.199 --> 01:09:00.920
Yes, it is. It's good. Also, if you go to

1041
01:09:00.000 --> 01:09:05.159
McDonald's you should get the uh it's
it's there like normal chicken sandwich, not

1042
01:09:05.239 --> 01:09:08.800
the MC chicken, but they have
a spicy version of it. It's very

1043
01:09:08.840 --> 01:09:12.079
good. Oh, the mick crispy
I think is what it's called. Yeah,

1044
01:09:12.119 --> 01:09:15.479
the spicy mccrispy's. I didn't like
the regular one. I was so

1045
01:09:15.600 --> 01:09:16.600
excited to order it because I was
like, yeah, they got their Chick

1046
01:09:16.640 --> 01:09:19.399
fil a sandwich and I didn't really
think it was that good. So I'll

1047
01:09:19.439 --> 01:09:23.000
have to go try the spicy one
because it's done. That sounds pretty good.

1048
01:09:23.159 --> 01:09:27.079
Okay, Nick, you thought that
the crispy chicken or Crispy I'm still

1049
01:09:27.079 --> 01:09:30.680
in Culver's mode. Landa in case
you couldn't tell Nick you thought that the

1050
01:09:30.760 --> 01:09:35.479
spicy chicken Sandwich Deluxe with fries and
some honey mustard sauce is a bad order,

1051
01:09:35.600 --> 01:09:39.199
tell me what a good order is. Well. First of all,

1052
01:09:39.359 --> 01:09:43.600
spicy chick spicy food in general is
just overrated, like the mild stuff.

1053
01:09:43.640 --> 01:09:46.600
I'm white, I know I have
very low tolerance for spice, but the

1054
01:09:47.000 --> 01:09:51.079
non spicy food is just distaste better. Like if you I've had tie food

1055
01:09:51.159 --> 01:09:56.319
before and you're so focused on how
hot it is you can't even taste the

1056
01:09:56.840 --> 01:09:59.760
how the cuisine. You know,
It's like, it's just why, why

1057
01:10:00.039 --> 01:10:01.680
need something spicy in your food?
Just add more salt like white people do.

1058
01:10:02.279 --> 01:10:11.000
Anyways, also also order eighty seven
year old Wall here's the eighty seven

1059
01:10:11.079 --> 01:10:15.000
year old take for you as well, Landing, Why are you getting lemonade

1060
01:10:15.119 --> 01:10:19.800
at Chick fil A? I mean, in order for me to step in

1061
01:10:19.920 --> 01:10:25.159
for mister first watch here, you
have to say something that's just that crazy.

1062
01:10:25.720 --> 01:10:29.159
But oh, Chick fil A has
got the best lemonade on the block.

1063
01:10:29.600 --> 01:10:32.800
It's so good. Oh it's outstanding. I I will die on the

1064
01:10:32.880 --> 01:10:39.479
hill that anything that sugar flavored water
is just trash, like why why take

1065
01:10:39.560 --> 01:10:43.319
the extra sugar just for like something
like to me, water taste fine,

1066
01:10:43.359 --> 01:10:45.760
like I don't like, I don't
like soda or anything, but like I

1067
01:10:45.319 --> 01:10:49.199
don't know, I'd rather drink.
I'd rather have my sugar in like an

1068
01:10:49.239 --> 01:10:53.439
ice stream, like a cone or
something at Chick fil a and not like

1069
01:10:53.680 --> 01:10:57.960
a drink that that you're gonna have
in like five minutes anyways, my order

1070
01:10:58.000 --> 01:11:01.279
at chick floy. My take is
that pickles do not belong on a chicken

1071
01:11:01.319 --> 01:11:05.159
sandwich. It makes the patty,
it makes the past I love. I

1072
01:11:05.199 --> 01:11:09.760
love pickles. I used to drink
the Brian out of the pickle jar after

1073
01:11:09.840 --> 01:11:14.119
I finished eating dill pickles. It's
very good, it's very good. But

1074
01:11:14.520 --> 01:11:17.359
pickles on a sandwich just make the
patty a little soggy and the butt a

1075
01:11:17.399 --> 01:11:23.079
little saggy. I just don't I've
never understood why that's a thing. But

1076
01:11:23.199 --> 01:11:25.840
for me, I just get a
number one, no pickle. I usually

1077
01:11:25.840 --> 01:11:29.159
get extra mail on it. Because
sandwiches are worthless if they don't have,

1078
01:11:29.520 --> 01:11:31.560
If they don't have, if sandwiches
don't have a lot of condiments on them,

1079
01:11:31.560 --> 01:11:35.239
they're worthless. Like people who eat
dry sandwiches, deserve to be in

1080
01:11:35.319 --> 01:11:42.079
prison, but right. The other
other egregious part of Landon's take is that

1081
01:11:42.199 --> 01:11:45.199
the honey mustard at Chick fil A
is good. It's actually I am a

1082
01:11:45.279 --> 01:11:48.600
honey mustard connoisseur. I made a
list in my notesap about five years ago

1083
01:11:48.920 --> 01:11:53.239
of ranking the top one hundred honey
mustards I've ever had, and Chick fil

1084
01:11:53.279 --> 01:11:56.520
A was like eighty seven on that
list. It's not good. It is

1085
01:11:56.600 --> 01:11:59.039
the best that I've ever had.
To be fair, it's very good.

1086
01:11:59.159 --> 01:12:06.119
Yes, that's crazy. I thought
there were like six No, Like I'm

1087
01:12:06.159 --> 01:12:09.119
just talking like every restaurant I've ever
been to. I made a list,

1088
01:12:09.199 --> 01:12:11.560
and I used to get chicken tenders
like every place I went to, So

1089
01:12:11.680 --> 01:12:14.399
that was why it was easy for
me to make the list. But the

1090
01:12:14.560 --> 01:12:16.920
only the best condiments at Chick fil
A. Chick fil A sauce, you

1091
01:12:16.960 --> 01:12:19.520
cannot go wrong, Like if you're
not dipping your fries in Chick fil A

1092
01:12:19.640 --> 01:12:25.439
sauce, then you're which is very
probably a sociopath. But also I tried

1093
01:12:25.439 --> 01:12:29.560
the Polynesian recently, and that's actually
a really good sauce. Chick fil A

1094
01:12:29.640 --> 01:12:32.920
barbecue is actually acceptable for fast barbecue
is always this Bobbycues. Barbecue is always

1095
01:12:32.960 --> 01:12:36.680
a safe bet no matter where you're
at. Athough barbecue is usually garbage.

1096
01:12:38.680 --> 01:12:41.079
But people who get ranch and stuff
at Chick fil A, I mean,

1097
01:12:41.239 --> 01:12:45.640
like I think I'm white for my
spice takes come on like ranch at Chick

1098
01:12:45.680 --> 01:12:49.680
fil a. Ranch is good.
It is good. But the secret to

1099
01:12:50.039 --> 01:12:54.760
if you're really hungry, you get
the sandwich fries. I don't get drinks,

1100
01:12:54.800 --> 01:12:57.159
like I said, I just drink
water. I'm not like I being

1101
01:12:57.199 --> 01:13:00.880
pretentious about it. But the secret
is to get like like a four count

1102
01:13:00.920 --> 01:13:03.640
strip on top of that and just
like eat half of it and then put

1103
01:13:03.680 --> 01:13:08.680
it in the fridge for like a
snack later. So I think Nick and

1104
01:13:08.720 --> 01:13:13.319
I fundamentally agree on most things.
Like the more Nick and I talk,

1105
01:13:13.399 --> 01:13:15.479
the more I think we have quite
a bit in common. And then every

1106
01:13:15.640 --> 01:13:19.039
like three months he'll say, like, women with tattoo sleeves are ugly,

1107
01:13:19.279 --> 01:13:27.640
and I hate chick lemonade. I
just lose it. I just can't understand,

1108
01:13:27.800 --> 01:13:30.399
Like I think that one time I
thought that you needed glasses, and

1109
01:13:30.479 --> 01:13:33.319
now I think you need a new
set of taste buds. If you think

1110
01:13:33.439 --> 01:13:41.039
Chick fil a, there is a
fundamental difference between thinking preferring basic white girls

1111
01:13:41.239 --> 01:13:45.880
versus someone like I never said something. I just said vanilla ice cream.

1112
01:13:45.000 --> 01:13:49.000
I only drink water. I'm sensing
a trend here extra male on the Chicken

1113
01:13:49.079 --> 01:13:58.239
sandwich and also at Rock Chalk eighty
four always asks me or has a couple

1114
01:13:58.279 --> 01:14:01.000
of times, when are we doing
our next YouTube live show? So at

1115
01:14:01.039 --> 01:14:03.600
a camera? So I just have
a camera on lock now, so we

1116
01:14:03.680 --> 01:14:08.640
can let's do it. Yeah,
we need to, We need to do

1117
01:14:08.680 --> 01:14:12.520
it. We need to do it
for the fans. At Jay Rodriguez Underscore

1118
01:14:12.600 --> 01:14:15.039
ninety eight. Curious what your favorite
bigger than sports moments are. Ooh,

1119
01:14:15.119 --> 01:14:17.880
this is a good one. kJ
making some clutch free throws to put the

1120
01:14:17.920 --> 01:14:21.159
game away. And that postgame locker
room speech by Bill Uh. I know

1121
01:14:21.239 --> 01:14:24.720
that neither of you are on Twitter, but get on the get on and

1122
01:14:25.119 --> 01:14:28.520
look at Bill self's locker room speech
after the game on the official KU Basketball

1123
01:14:28.560 --> 01:14:30.800
Twitter page. Uh for what he
said about kJ Adams and the locker room

1124
01:14:30.920 --> 01:14:33.560
was was just unbelievable. There will
not be a dry eye in the house.

1125
01:14:34.520 --> 01:14:38.800
And yes, that is an excellent
question. The biggest for me and

1126
01:14:38.920 --> 01:14:42.920
you guys are probably too young for
this. The biggest, big, bigger

1127
01:14:42.960 --> 01:14:45.479
than sports moment I have ever seen
in my life was Gret fav going out

1128
01:14:45.479 --> 01:14:50.399
on Monday Night football the day after
his dad died and absolutely going atomic on

1129
01:14:50.479 --> 01:14:55.079
the Raiders, throwing for four hundred
yards and four touchdown passes. And the

1130
01:14:55.199 --> 01:14:58.840
stats don't do a justice. He
was just on one on that Monday night

1131
01:14:58.920 --> 01:15:02.960
game. He had the entire stadium
cheering for him as they were hit their

1132
01:15:03.079 --> 01:15:08.640
team. Uh and it was just
an insane performance to watch. That will

1133
01:15:08.720 --> 01:15:13.920
forever be the biggest larger than sports
moment in regard to rallying around tragedy.

1134
01:15:14.239 --> 01:15:16.560
And then I'm sure there's been The
New Orleans Saints were one of the worst

1135
01:15:16.600 --> 01:15:20.680
teams of football. Yeah, that
and the and before that, the first

1136
01:15:20.720 --> 01:15:24.760
game after Katrina, how they went
on the road and won at the last

1137
01:15:24.960 --> 01:15:27.760
at the last second, like get
the block punt moment at the Superdome.

1138
01:15:27.840 --> 01:15:30.720
Yah, things like that. What
college basketball ones have we seen? I

1139
01:15:30.760 --> 01:15:34.680
think Michigan flying the Michigan state flag
after the shooting at the Spartans campus last

1140
01:15:34.760 --> 01:15:44.920
year. Stuff in Virginia with the
Purdue football smashed Ohio State at home,

1141
01:15:45.119 --> 01:15:47.800
and that was they had a kid
like uh, which I mean they had,

1142
01:15:47.840 --> 01:15:50.560
like the kids with cancer had lots
of games and they don't always win.

1143
01:15:51.239 --> 01:15:54.399
That one still got stood out to
me a lot because actually got to

1144
01:15:54.479 --> 01:15:58.479
like see the whole special on the
guy who had cancer and he was a

1145
01:15:58.560 --> 01:16:00.079
huge Purdue fan. They let him
in the locker room and talk to the

1146
01:16:00.079 --> 01:16:02.239
team a bunch of times and all
that, and then Perduyo goes out and

1147
01:16:02.359 --> 01:16:06.079
smashes number like three or whatever.
Ohio State at home. That was pretty

1148
01:16:06.119 --> 01:16:11.720
cool. And Kansas, Uh,
the comeback on k State after Bill self's

1149
01:16:11.760 --> 01:16:15.399
dad died. Oh yeah, that's
true. I remember that one. The

1150
01:16:15.520 --> 01:16:19.119
Thomas Robinson angle after that's true his
mother died was like that too. But

1151
01:16:19.199 --> 01:16:24.800
I'd say because I remember very vividly
when I was not even one year,

1152
01:16:25.359 --> 01:16:29.560
not even barely alive, when George
W. Bush threw the first pitch at

1153
01:16:29.560 --> 01:16:33.000
the Acies game. Yeah, yeah, that is the and and that man

1154
01:16:33.159 --> 01:16:40.720
wearing a aluminum bullet proof vest through
a sixty six and a half foot strike

1155
01:16:41.039 --> 01:16:45.239
and it was right in there.
It was beautiful. One of the best

1156
01:16:45.279 --> 01:16:48.880
first pitches, probably the best first
we're talking we're talking about this guy though,

1157
01:16:49.039 --> 01:16:53.000
like talking about presidents who knew how
to play sports like this dude was

1158
01:16:53.000 --> 01:16:56.600
little on a golf course talking about
terrorists and he told the reporter to watch

1159
01:16:56.640 --> 01:16:59.920
his drive and he just ripped the
drive after that, So and that was

1160
01:17:00.239 --> 01:17:01.840
so that to that game. Yeah, that was right after nine to eleven

1161
01:17:02.239 --> 01:17:06.039
and New York Like obviously at the
heart of these attacks, nobody has any

1162
01:17:06.039 --> 01:17:10.760
idea what's gonna happen. And the
president just goes walking out on the mound

1163
01:17:10.920 --> 01:17:15.279
and everyone's watching and throws a frigging
strike. It was awesome. Yeah,

1164
01:17:15.359 --> 01:17:17.399
those are good. There are some
really good, larger than sports moments that

1165
01:17:17.479 --> 01:17:20.600
you see sometimes, and we've gotten
to see quite a few of them around

1166
01:17:20.680 --> 01:17:25.640
Kansas basketball. But kJ and the
day after or the after the weeks he's

1167
01:17:25.680 --> 01:17:29.960
had being arguably the best player on
the floor and being their second leading scorer

1168
01:17:30.039 --> 01:17:33.640
for for Kansas, the day after
or right considering what he's gone through,

1169
01:17:33.720 --> 01:17:38.600
is up there at show me.
Hawk says some Yukon fans last night,

1170
01:17:38.640 --> 01:17:41.439
We're a different breed. They talk
a lot for a program that's never beaten

1171
01:17:41.520 --> 01:17:44.079
Kansas. That's true that the Kansas
four and o against Yukon. Wish we

1172
01:17:44.119 --> 01:17:46.800
could be playing our actual rival in
the Big East mort Ooh, I like

1173
01:17:46.880 --> 01:17:50.319
that. I will never say no
to a Kansas Villanova game. I actually

1174
01:17:50.439 --> 01:17:54.399
welcomed it. Here, here we
go, here comes the two seat Villa.

1175
01:17:55.600 --> 01:18:00.399
That's big for Kansas. I love
that matter, love that match.

1176
01:18:00.159 --> 01:18:05.239
Sometimes. That was the worst take
on the show, wasn't it. No,

1177
01:18:05.439 --> 01:18:09.479
My worst take in my life was
that Mitch Lightfoot was gonna win a

1178
01:18:09.520 --> 01:18:12.720
Big twelve Player of the Year,
the Big Twelve twenty nineteen Big Twelve Player

1179
01:18:12.720 --> 01:18:15.920
of the Year. Landa and I
joined that podcast. Land and I joined

1180
01:18:16.000 --> 01:18:19.000
that podcast, and he texts me, sir, I can't wait for you

1181
01:18:19.119 --> 01:18:23.840
to join and we can watch Mitch
Lightfoot win the twenty twelve Player of the

1182
01:18:23.920 --> 01:18:30.479
Year together and Mitch lifefoot played three
freaking seasons after I made that claim in

1183
01:18:30.600 --> 01:18:33.520
twenty nineteen, and he never averaged
more than five and n of them.

1184
01:18:35.039 --> 01:18:39.359
Yep, Yeah, that was That
was my worst take of all time.

1185
01:18:39.840 --> 01:18:43.279
I like Kansas Yukon. They need
to play more. Yukon fans were definitely

1186
01:18:43.279 --> 01:18:45.840
pretty geeked. I thought Indiana fans
were kind of the same way when they

1187
01:18:45.880 --> 01:18:47.399
came in here last year, and
I hope we get to see it next

1188
01:18:47.479 --> 01:18:50.680
year in Connecticut because that was good. Shouldn't have put the hat on the

1189
01:18:50.760 --> 01:18:57.399
James Naismith statue didn't go well?
At let's see here. I think we

1190
01:18:57.479 --> 01:18:59.680
only have one more here, Yeah, at show me hawk. I do

1191
01:18:59.800 --> 01:19:01.880
have one major pet peeve about the
state of Kansas. Why does Kansas City,

1192
01:19:02.000 --> 01:19:05.520
Kansas's city center look so drab?
We're talking about a city that has

1193
01:19:05.520 --> 01:19:09.319
one hundred and fifty thousand people that
has across the state line from k CMO,

1194
01:19:09.600 --> 01:19:12.479
and they don't have any buildings taller
than one hundred and seventy feet.

1195
01:19:12.840 --> 01:19:16.000
That is a good tassuming this person's
not from Kansas. Well, uh,

1196
01:19:16.520 --> 01:19:21.000
Okay has a better skyline than Casey, k Yeah, says for ads.

1197
01:19:21.079 --> 01:19:26.079
For reference, Springfield, Massachusetts has
roughly the same population as Caseyk and their

1198
01:19:26.119 --> 01:19:29.800
downtown looks way better. Even Clayton, Missouri, and they're thirty thousand people,

1199
01:19:30.079 --> 01:19:31.840
is next to Saint Louis and has
a much more vibrant city center.

1200
01:19:32.000 --> 01:19:35.640
Has this person ever been to Kansas
City, Kansas? I mean you're just

1201
01:19:35.760 --> 01:19:41.720
kind of very mid I mean a
lot of it, A lot of it

1202
01:19:41.840 --> 01:19:44.000
has to do before I go further. A lot of it has to do

1203
01:19:44.119 --> 01:19:48.000
with red lining and you know,
white flight because kans City, Kansas actually

1204
01:19:48.079 --> 01:19:51.279
used to be a pretty good you
know, like Kansas City, Kansas,

1205
01:19:51.359 --> 01:19:56.039
Kansasity, Missouri actually used to be
like, you know, somewhat comparable.

1206
01:19:56.800 --> 01:20:00.800
And then like you know, you
had the red line, which there's a

1207
01:20:00.840 --> 01:20:03.520
whole story behind redlining that happened in
Country Culle Plaza where that used to be

1208
01:20:03.560 --> 01:20:08.079
low income housing and a developer literally
went in there, yeah and built like

1209
01:20:08.199 --> 01:20:12.319
this really rich and fancy nate playground
for rich people and moved the people past

1210
01:20:12.399 --> 01:20:15.279
trust. So that's really interesting.
But like Kansa City, Kansas, I

1211
01:20:15.319 --> 01:20:19.199
mean the demographics. You know,
when when pay started increasing in these wealthy

1212
01:20:19.239 --> 01:20:23.199
people who actually once lived in Kansaity, Kansas, they moved obviously to Johnson

1213
01:20:23.239 --> 01:20:26.359
County, and ever since that movement
has just been like further south. That's

1214
01:20:26.399 --> 01:20:30.479
why jov Land Park's so big now. But you have all these like really

1215
01:20:30.640 --> 01:20:33.399
really rich people move out and then
just starts this progression. Like the schools

1216
01:20:33.399 --> 01:20:35.439
are terrible in Kansa City, Kansas. I think that has a lot to

1217
01:20:35.479 --> 01:20:39.640
do with people not wanting to live
there. And overall, Ryan Windout County

1218
01:20:39.760 --> 01:20:43.520
is just kind of like no offense
anyone in Windett County. But it's just

1219
01:20:43.600 --> 01:20:45.479
kind of like the armpit of Kansas. It's Kansas City at this point.

1220
01:20:45.560 --> 01:20:48.720
The Legends is nice and that area
is great, but it really but that's

1221
01:20:48.760 --> 01:20:53.039
not even Kansa city, Kansas.
That's pre village. It's no. The

1222
01:20:53.119 --> 01:20:57.279
Legends is Casey K. Yeah,
Legends is Casey K. It's wind dot

1223
01:20:57.359 --> 01:21:01.039
Kem somewhat. Yeah, it's the
they have a Caseyk address. They got

1224
01:21:01.079 --> 01:21:06.800
the speedway up there and ends up
there. There is nobody that knows more

1225
01:21:06.920 --> 01:21:11.720
about geography and this sort of thing
than Nick. So show me hawk if

1226
01:21:11.840 --> 01:21:15.920
if this sort of thing is your
cup of tea, you have a beautiful

1227
01:21:15.960 --> 01:21:19.800
source to ask ask RCB questions to
all the time because Nick knows his stuff.

1228
01:21:20.279 --> 01:21:25.520
Casey K. Yeah just really isn't. I mean, it never really

1229
01:21:25.680 --> 01:21:30.119
has been the they had. I
mean they had Curner Headquarter with a big

1230
01:21:30.199 --> 01:21:32.760
campus there and that that didn't last
more than a few years, just because

1231
01:21:32.920 --> 01:21:38.479
Casey K is not. Overland Park
is way more populated, and I think

1232
01:21:38.560 --> 01:21:43.079
Casey I think cac Moo has a
very pretty skyline, but the metro here

1233
01:21:43.199 --> 01:21:45.239
is just kind of weird where That's
how it's set up like it's a big

1234
01:21:45.359 --> 01:21:48.359
metro with several big cities, but
really only one of them has a true

1235
01:21:48.439 --> 01:21:54.600
downtown. Yeah, pretty much.
Oleifa sort of like Aletha, has a

1236
01:21:54.680 --> 01:22:00.399
distinct downtown area, but it's not
all that. Like you see all the

1237
01:22:00.439 --> 01:22:03.199
construction happening in Lenexas City Center,
now, like that's that's they really have

1238
01:22:03.319 --> 01:22:08.119
a centralized yeah, really centralized place
in Lenexa. But yeah, you're right,

1239
01:22:08.319 --> 01:22:10.720
I mean, most of Johnson County
is new. Like if we're talking

1240
01:22:10.720 --> 01:22:15.000
about Kansas City in the nineteen fifties, like Kansas City, Kansas is Kansas

1241
01:22:15.039 --> 01:22:18.960
City, Kansas, right, Yeah, and yeah KSEK definitely used to be

1242
01:22:19.760 --> 01:22:24.359
better than it is, and it
has plenty of capability to be better than

1243
01:22:24.399 --> 01:22:28.960
it is, but it's just not
really known for being a city center sort

1244
01:22:29.000 --> 01:22:32.000
of life or nightlife or any of
that. You're you're trying to dodge gunfire

1245
01:22:32.079 --> 01:22:34.840
more often than not if you get
into any part of KSEYK. That's not

1246
01:22:35.039 --> 01:22:39.199
the I mean that they had the
Splitter Bond Park up there, and that

1247
01:22:39.319 --> 01:22:42.760
was in a pretty like we saw
how that went though. Yeah that wasn't

1248
01:22:42.760 --> 01:22:46.039
in a great area either. Okay, as Shaka Smart continues to pout on

1249
01:22:46.119 --> 01:22:49.000
the sideline because his team's about to
lose. Let's talk about a game that

1250
01:22:49.119 --> 01:22:56.520
Kansas will moste definitely not lose.
We've been calling them you and KC,

1251
01:22:56.760 --> 01:23:01.119
but that is officially incorrect because they
now go by the city at number five

1252
01:23:01.319 --> 01:23:06.279
and probably soon to be number two
Kansas on Tuesday, December fifth, at

1253
01:23:06.439 --> 01:23:12.239
seven o'clock PM, You guys can
can can calm down your heart right from

1254
01:23:12.319 --> 01:23:17.600
that thriller that was the Connecticut game
with the ruse. Yeah, and the

1255
01:23:17.680 --> 01:23:21.039
rules of the Summit League. They
enter at three and five overall. They

1256
01:23:21.119 --> 01:23:25.600
lost by thirty eight at Baylor.
They also lost the schools like You and

1257
01:23:25.680 --> 01:23:29.640
C, Greensboro Brown, and Middle
Tennessee State. One of their three wins

1258
01:23:30.000 --> 01:23:35.479
somehow counts is against Avella, if
only Naia School State in a game that

1259
01:23:35.640 --> 01:23:40.960
counted one. For those of you
not from the Kansas City area, Avala

1260
01:23:41.119 --> 01:23:45.079
is an NAIA school here in case
with about one thousand students enrolled. I

1261
01:23:45.199 --> 01:23:50.159
have no idea. We've seen like
four divisions down. That's not even NCAA.

1262
01:23:50.399 --> 01:23:55.079
Yes, I don't know how that
counts, but yeah, woof.

1263
01:23:55.359 --> 01:23:58.079
Also, if you lose to Brown, you should have to shut your basketball

1264
01:23:58.119 --> 01:24:03.119
college down, like that's just that's
horrible. Wing Jamar Brown is the team's

1265
01:24:03.199 --> 01:24:06.079
leading scorer at fourteen points per game. He also leads the Ruse in rebounds

1266
01:24:06.119 --> 01:24:10.279
with six per game and three point
shooting at thirty eight percent. Anderson Copp

1267
01:24:10.399 --> 01:24:13.359
actually talked to this guy every Tuesday
night he goes to Paradigm, which is

1268
01:24:13.439 --> 01:24:16.560
the youth ministry in Kansas City.
I'm Alan cool, Alan mcbach are the

1269
01:24:16.600 --> 01:24:19.680
big cop. Is the your white
guy at the game, candidate? None

1270
01:24:19.680 --> 01:24:21.920
of this matters out to tell him
that he's our white guy Candida of the

1271
01:24:21.960 --> 01:24:26.800
game. Yeah, you should tell
him that he's absolutely going six for ten

1272
01:24:26.880 --> 01:24:30.920
in this game. The Ruse,
though, may not because they are horrendous

1273
01:24:30.039 --> 01:24:33.520
on offense. We said this against
Eastern Illinois. I'm gonna try it again

1274
01:24:33.800 --> 01:24:38.840
because the stats say this is a
bad offensive team. They barely score seventy

1275
01:24:38.880 --> 01:24:41.600
a night. None of their shooting
percentages are in the top one hundred and

1276
01:24:41.600 --> 01:24:44.920
eighty nationally. They're good on the
offensive glass, but that's mainly because they

1277
01:24:44.960 --> 01:24:50.399
miss a lot of shots. They're
also a unheard of horrendous fifty nine and

1278
01:24:50.479 --> 01:24:57.920
a half percent at the free throw
line, which is three hundred and fiftieth

1279
01:24:58.000 --> 01:25:01.079
nationally. The only thing at this
team really excels at, based on the

1280
01:25:01.199 --> 01:25:05.479
stats through however many games, which
isn't against very good competition either, is

1281
01:25:05.640 --> 01:25:10.920
fouling. They're also decent at not
turning the ball over because they played a

1282
01:25:11.000 --> 01:25:16.079
slower pace. Kansas is a and
O against case all time, with the

1283
01:25:16.119 --> 01:25:19.880
most recent victory coming in the team
mobile center back when David McCormick scored twenty

1284
01:25:19.920 --> 01:25:25.000
eight points and then Bill self decided
against letting him have fun all the way

1285
01:25:25.039 --> 01:25:28.640
back in twenty eighteen. The average
margin of victory in the A wins is

1286
01:25:28.800 --> 01:25:32.439
thirty five points, so I don't
think we're anticipating a super close outing here.

1287
01:25:33.319 --> 01:25:38.720
I have such a gripe to pick
with College Basketball References website because they

1288
01:25:38.840 --> 01:25:42.159
used to make it so I could
click on the they show the head to

1289
01:25:42.239 --> 01:25:45.600
head record of each team against every
team, and I can see the record

1290
01:25:45.680 --> 01:25:47.039
that Kansas is eight, and oh
they used to make it so I could

1291
01:25:47.119 --> 01:25:51.319
click that and see every game score
and I can't do that anymore, and

1292
01:25:51.439 --> 01:25:56.720
it really really chaps my ass.
I that was one of my favorite things

1293
01:25:57.159 --> 01:26:00.439
on that website, So I hope
they fix it soon. But yes,

1294
01:26:00.560 --> 01:26:03.079
in that game, David McCormick had
twenty eight points in sixteen minutes, and

1295
01:26:03.399 --> 01:26:08.319
I believe that was about halfway through
the second half before waved him to the

1296
01:26:08.359 --> 01:26:12.039
sideline so we could watch Mitch Lightfoot
Sniff's own farts for the last ten minutes.

1297
01:26:13.720 --> 01:26:15.720
Well, that was a running tradition, so you don't break it for

1298
01:26:15.800 --> 01:26:20.159
you in case, so Marquette,
excuse me. So Marquette did in fact

1299
01:26:20.279 --> 01:26:25.319
lose to Wisconsin, which is pretty
hilarious because Shaka Smart was whining at the

1300
01:26:25.399 --> 01:26:29.600
refs in a game that they were
they were definitely going to lose at that

1301
01:26:29.760 --> 01:26:33.119
time. So let's update our pickum
percentage here. Looks like that I went

1302
01:26:33.239 --> 01:26:36.760
four and one Nick. What was
your record this week, sir? I

1303
01:26:36.840 --> 01:26:41.840
believe I went three and two.
Nick and I both win Marquete. All

1304
01:26:41.920 --> 01:26:45.800
right, So the new updated results, Nick has thirty six points, I

1305
01:26:46.000 --> 01:26:49.159
have thirty five points, and Landon
has thirty one points. Land and that

1306
01:26:49.239 --> 01:26:56.119
means you keep pace. You are
five games behind. I'll take it for

1307
01:26:56.199 --> 01:26:59.479
now. We'll see what happens.
But you are better than Nick picking Kansas

1308
01:26:59.520 --> 01:27:03.640
schemes. To be fair, I
would have picked Ku if I didn't want

1309
01:27:03.680 --> 01:27:08.920
to be different than everyone else.
So what a flex? What an absolute

1310
01:27:08.960 --> 01:27:11.520
flex? I knew, I knew
that I could beat you and pick them

1311
01:27:11.560 --> 01:27:14.439
even if I just started screwing around. How does that make you feel?

1312
01:27:14.520 --> 01:27:18.439
Landing about the same because I think
that's what was happening in the last several

1313
01:27:18.520 --> 01:27:23.079
years. So Kansas is likely going
to go up to two, maybe three

1314
01:27:23.119 --> 01:27:25.479
at worse, depending on what they
do with Purdue, they will be right

1315
01:27:25.560 --> 01:27:28.319
back in the top three. These
other rankings are going to change. Oh

1316
01:27:28.359 --> 01:27:30.359
we didn't pick the game. That
tells you how focused I am. Kansas

1317
01:27:30.560 --> 01:27:42.319
two hundred, UMKC five, Kansas
ninety six, UMKC sixty, Kansas eighty

1318
01:27:42.680 --> 01:27:45.800
nine, UMKC fifty five. I'm
gonna say they score one hundred, right,

1319
01:27:45.840 --> 01:27:49.079
They got to score one hundred eventually, and the UMKC feels like a

1320
01:27:49.119 --> 01:27:53.359
good bet to do it against.
Yeah, if there was anyone who might

1321
01:27:53.439 --> 01:27:57.479
be this one. But I will
say I wouldn't touch this game from a

1322
01:27:57.520 --> 01:28:01.439
betting perspective, one because it's Kansas
hum KC. And two the I know

1323
01:28:01.640 --> 01:28:05.439
that there's so much more talented that
this might not matter. But the dynamics

1324
01:28:05.479 --> 01:28:09.800
here, they're coming off a Yukon
win. The coaching staff's gonna spend this

1325
01:28:09.880 --> 01:28:15.520
weekend in Texas at kJ adams Mom's
funeral. He will be distracted. They're

1326
01:28:15.560 --> 01:28:19.159
getting ready to play Missouri. You
want to talk about the sleepiest game in

1327
01:28:19.239 --> 01:28:24.319
the history of sleepy games, it
could be this one. So Kandas could

1328
01:28:24.359 --> 01:28:26.920
look pretty lethargic, but they're just
so much better than you, MKC.

1329
01:28:27.039 --> 01:28:30.439
You gotta figure they're going to win
by plenty of points. Other games,

1330
01:28:30.560 --> 01:28:32.159
these rankings will all get a facelift, but for now, this is what

1331
01:28:32.239 --> 01:28:39.800
we've got. Number fifteen Creighton at
undefeated nebraskatball in state rivalry. Is Nebraska

1332
01:28:40.000 --> 01:28:45.039
for real? No Blue Jays.
Yeah, I don't win this game.

1333
01:28:45.600 --> 01:28:48.159
No, Nebraska's not gonna be even
close in this game, but I wanted

1334
01:28:48.159 --> 01:28:53.079
to see if I could steal a
freebie on one. Again. He is,

1335
01:28:53.479 --> 01:28:56.560
and they're better, but they're not
gonna be Creighton. That's not happening.

1336
01:28:56.840 --> 01:29:00.760
Number eighteen Villanova at k State.
Good game here in the Big twelve,

1337
01:29:00.880 --> 01:29:03.479
Big East battle. I will go
with the Wildcats to take one at

1338
01:29:03.520 --> 01:29:06.399
home. Oh, they're both the
Wildcats. I'll go with Kansas State at

1339
01:29:06.479 --> 01:29:10.399
home. I think that they're you
know, they haven't played very well this

1340
01:29:10.520 --> 01:29:13.560
year, but they're well coached,
tough environment. I think they take down

1341
01:29:13.600 --> 01:29:15.760
the gold I think Golden Cheese.
So many dams, so over stimilar.

1342
01:29:15.840 --> 01:29:21.520
Right now, Kansas State takes down
Villanova at home. I think I agree.

1343
01:29:23.880 --> 01:29:30.199
I like the Wildcats. I just
I just realized case name was the

1344
01:29:30.239 --> 01:29:34.880
Wildcats here? Yeah Villanova? Oh
okay, gotcha. Number thirteen Florida Atlantic

1345
01:29:35.000 --> 01:29:40.279
against number twenty four Illinois. This
is in the Jimmy V Classic. As

1346
01:29:40.399 --> 01:29:45.479
woll Shaka smart is the Wisconsin storming
the floor after beating Marquette. Guys.

1347
01:29:45.520 --> 01:29:48.199
I think court storms have gone too
far. Yeah, we need to turn

1348
01:29:48.279 --> 01:29:53.079
back. It doesn't mean anything anymore
coming from KU fans who stormed the field

1349
01:29:53.159 --> 01:30:00.359
after beating you know Ice, nobody's
who is the who is the worst them?

1350
01:30:00.479 --> 01:30:03.680
KU football has storm the court in
the field against South after coda.

1351
01:30:04.920 --> 01:30:11.520
Oh that's right, they did game
and maybe worse. The Oklahoma State woman

1352
01:30:11.560 --> 01:30:13.479
is pretty bad last year. I
mean, I know it's good to bowel

1353
01:30:13.479 --> 01:30:15.520
eligibility, but like the well,
I get that one. I get that

1354
01:30:15.640 --> 01:30:19.640
one. I love court storms,
but whenever you beat Shaka, I don't.

1355
01:30:19.720 --> 01:30:24.680
I don't know, okay. Anyway, fau versus Illinois and New York

1356
01:30:24.760 --> 01:30:27.600
City, I will go with the
fighting ALAINI, as I said, hoot,

1357
01:30:27.640 --> 01:30:30.880
hoot, give me the owls.
This is a tough one for me.

1358
01:30:30.960 --> 01:30:35.840
Honestly, I am going to go
with Illinois. I think I think

1359
01:30:35.880 --> 01:30:40.760
the Alics lose their first game and
then this this pick for me just got

1360
01:30:40.880 --> 01:30:45.760
much easier. The Shaka Smart Bowl, Number sixteen, Texas at number three,

1361
01:30:45.840 --> 01:30:48.840
Marquette, Big twelve, Big East
Battle, Marquette, Big Yeah,

1362
01:30:49.199 --> 01:30:56.039
Golden Eagles Texas. Wow? All
right, Nick, I like the guts.

1363
01:30:56.079 --> 01:30:59.079
I feel like Markette normally plays pretty
well here. They slacked Baylor pretty

1364
01:30:59.079 --> 01:31:00.880
good last year, and I'm just
not feeling Texas. But there is plitally

1365
01:31:00.920 --> 01:31:04.720
of talent there. The football team. Three road teams in college basketball,

1366
01:31:05.520 --> 01:31:11.520
and he's you're five games, so
maybe you should start adopting this strategy.

1367
01:31:12.800 --> 01:31:15.439
Good comeback? All right? We
will be back what middle next week.

1368
01:31:15.479 --> 01:31:17.039
I don't know if we're rushing back
to recap um k C, but we

1369
01:31:17.079 --> 01:31:24.039
gotta do something before they get the
before Missouri comes in here. Yeah,

1370
01:31:24.079 --> 01:31:30.159
we'll see uh sometime soon, definitely
before Zoo. This is inside the all

1371
01:31:30.239 --> 01:31:32.479
right, Hey, you know what, just because you asked nicely, sir,

1372
01:31:32.600 --> 01:31:40.199
I'm here for you at Missouri.
I think Missouri bounced back the other

1373
01:31:40.319 --> 01:31:43.760
day. They did. They won
on the road at Pitt. So Pitt

1374
01:31:43.880 --> 01:31:50.399
must be really bad if that's Missouri. Jeff still there. Yeah, I

1375
01:31:50.479 --> 01:31:56.119
remember when coach k yelled at his
own fans for chanting something at at Caple.

1376
01:31:56.199 --> 01:32:00.039
Remember that I do. That was
actually one moderately thing that Kay did.

1377
01:32:01.039 --> 01:32:04.439
But they were being flattering to him. They were telling they were chanting

1378
01:32:04.520 --> 01:32:09.960
at Capele to come sit with them. It was it's a tradition, understood

1379
01:32:09.960 --> 01:32:12.600
what was happening. Yeah. Yeah, he thought they were like taunting him,

1380
01:32:12.600 --> 01:32:18.439
and they weren't out of touch.
That makes example. So Missouri plays

1381
01:32:18.479 --> 01:32:21.600
Which to State at missour Arena on
Sunday, and then they get a week

1382
01:32:21.640 --> 01:32:26.039
off before coming into Allen Fieldhouse.
Can't get enough of the state of Kansas.

1383
01:32:26.119 --> 01:32:28.359
I guess very well, could be
two losses. I don't know much

1384
01:32:28.359 --> 01:32:30.760
about Which to State, but I
know Missouri ain't too good. All right,

1385
01:32:30.800 --> 01:32:32.880
we'll be backin, said the paint
Rock Chuck Blogg Riyan Landre. I'm

1386
01:32:33.079 --> 01:32:38.479
David McCormick's missing two points from the
um kiss game yep, And I'm uh

1387
01:32:39.000 --> 01:32:42.439
Nick Whippert. I think my favorite
nick name ever was when he started calling

1388
01:32:42.520 --> 01:32:49.520
himself Sergeibari Whippert. That was one
of my favorites. Yeah. Or Santiago

1389
01:32:50.199 --> 01:32:58.079
Wipert after the Uh after the Tennessee
Nicks. Yeah, yeah, I guess

1390
01:32:58.119 --> 01:33:05.279
that is true. Lake. No, now that sounds now, that sounds

1391
01:33:05.479 --> 01:33:11.079
like what we've watched this year from
that particular individual. All right, everybody,

1392
01:33:11.159 --> 01:33:13.520
stay out of trouble. Goodbye,
