WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.200
And by the absolute skin of their
teeth, they survived barely. And you

2
00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:08.880
guys never lost any any confidence,
right. Was there ever a point in

3
00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:12.759
that game where you thought, I
bet the odds are higher that Kansas loses

4
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:18.839
than doesn't. No, Nick,
No, yep, nope, that's the

5
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:22.280
answer. We watched a few of
these games, so we'll we'll see.

6
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:26.399
There was a very Allen field House. I've I've been in a lot of

7
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:31.640
Allan field House atmospheres and they're they're
all a little different, but this one

8
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:37.439
was a nervous Allan field House,
Like there were way more people turning around

9
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.719
not wanting to watch the free throw
attempts because they were so nervous. Like,

10
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:45.799
this was a very nervous vibe at
Allan. And they didn't end up

11
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.759
having to go home sad because Kansas, thanks to who else? Then the

12
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:55.520
refs walk out of there with a
conference opening victory for what feels like the

13
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:58.640
two millionth year in a row.
And so what are we gonna do.

14
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:00.119
We're gonna We're gonna come in here, we're gonna talk about it. We're

15
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:04.920
gonna tell you all about those Kansas
Jayhawks and how they keep getting worse in

16
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.519
the met tricks, but they keep
getting better. In the wind lost column.

17
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:11.359
This is inside the paint, it
is on Rock Chalk Blog. I

18
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:19.120
am Ryan Landrath. I am the
Raymond that everybody loves, and I'm no.

19
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:21.799
Those are both good. I want
to ask questions about both of those.

20
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:26.159
Landon I I are you still and
everybody loves Raymond guy. The more

21
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:30.480
sitcoms that I watched that I haven't
seen before, the less I become an

22
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:33.400
everybody of those Raymond guys. Ouch, all right, it's good cast And

23
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.799
I I remember giving you a bunch
of DVDs of it once, which is

24
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:38.280
why I said it, because I
was looking at the box set that you

25
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.079
gave me and that was my panic
name called. I cannot even believe that

26
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.280
you still have that at your house. That's amazing. And Nick Ernest Ooday

27
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:51.560
senior boy. Yeah, it was
that he might be the only person in

28
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:55.879
the world. Uh. That's that's
sadder for Ernest day than we are,

29
00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.560
because what a what a rough luck
moment for for Ernest getting up there,

30
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:05.400
which we'll talk all about. But
man, like, let's let I won't

31
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.039
ask any more questions. Let's trip
the band aid off and talk all about

32
00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:15.960
the Zebras number two, Kansas eighty
three. You know him on this show

33
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:21.520
for one reason and one reason only, and it's because the TCU Frogs eighty

34
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:25.360
one. Well, let's let's do
it. Somebody read the game story so

35
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:30.319
we can talk about the stripes,
all right. In a game in which

36
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:34.680
neither team led by more than six
at any point, Kansas and tc went

37
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:38.319
back and forth for more than twenty
five lead changes, but was the Horny

38
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.120
Frogs that had a two point lead. With a minute left. Ernest Oude

39
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.159
intercepted an entry pass but was called
for a flagrant foul to try to clear

40
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:52.479
out around him, resulting in a
four point possession for the Jayhawks. After

41
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.520
TCU tied the game less than half
a minute ago, Dewan Harris bled the

42
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:00.520
clock and found Hunter Dickinson for a
game winning bucket with three seconds to go.

43
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:06.400
Dcu's quality game winning three point look
fell short and air ball at the

44
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:12.719
end to steal the narrow win.
For the first things. First, they

45
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.840
won, right, we looked at
the Big twelve schedule. We all talked

46
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.560
about how the first half was way
easier than the back half. They can't

47
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:22.159
afford if they want to win this
League, which I don't know how much

48
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:24.800
of a priority people place on that
anymore. But if the goalists to win

49
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:30.080
the conference, they cannot afford to
be slipping up at home, and they

50
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.800
cannot afford to be slipping up very
much in the first half. So I

51
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.280
don't know how much of how many
points you want to give them for this

52
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:38.960
one. It's just kind of more
survival than it is. They really accomplish

53
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:44.800
something great. But we have to
talk about the refs because Landon, as

54
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.919
you said, Ernest Dudey, was
called for a flagrant foul with fifty seven

55
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.199
seconds left. He was trying to
clear out for a rebound. I do

56
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.840
not believe there was any intent.
The rule book states it doesn't matter if

57
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:59.199
there is intent. If there is
contact above the neck, then it will

58
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.319
be called a flagrant TCU was all
set to have the ball up to where

59
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:04.520
they really I don't want to say
could have ended the game, but they

60
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.400
could have gone up two possessions with
less than thirty seconds left, and that

61
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.280
would have been a very difficult hole
for Kansas to fall to climb out of.

62
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:15.839
And instead, by the time they
touched the ball again, they were

63
00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:20.240
losing by two points. So a
huge swing at that flagrant was Nick,

64
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:27.399
Let's start with you. Was it
a flagrant? Here's the thing, this

65
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.480
is a semantics answer for me.
I think that it was a flagrant.

66
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:33.480
I think that the way the rule
book has it, even if it's inadvertent

67
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:39.560
content not intentional, I think forcible
contact, you know, to the face

68
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:43.839
is still going to be called,
maybe for the fact that it interrupted you

69
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:47.439
know, hundred Dickenson's ability to react
on the transition. But I in this

70
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:50.360
case, probably with the way that
the game was playing, would not have

71
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:55.959
called this a flagrant foul. I
think that the type the stoppage to go

72
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.360
look at it was sufficient enough.
I think that's a penalty enough for tcu

73
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:03.120
is to stop their fast break opportunity. But I think calling this a flagrant

74
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.800
one towards the end of the game, particularly when it's a two point one

75
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:11.920
possession game and then and essentially a
flagrant one is going to give the opposing

76
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.759
team a chance at two possessions back
before the other team even touches the ball

77
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.439
again. So in this case,
I probably wouldn't have called it a flagrant

78
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.360
one. I think Kansas did get
the benefit on there, but again I'm

79
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:25.839
not arguing the semantics of yes,
this could have been called a flagr foul?

80
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:28.399
Do they do I think it should
have been called? No? Probably

81
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.920
not. Do I think Kansas would
have won if this wasn't called. I

82
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.680
don't think so. So I think
if they benefited from this from the refs,

83
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:38.680
I think if you say otherwise,
you're probably naive. But that's my

84
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.920
that's my sinse Okay, So Landon
Nick kind of has the Twitter angle.

85
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:47.240
I think he thinks that it probably
was a flagrant by rule. However,

86
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.879
in this in the stakes which we
hear that a lot, both in college

87
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:55.600
basketball and in football and all sorts
of stuff. The stuff that you call

88
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:59.439
with four minutes four minutes gone in
the first half is a little different than

89
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:01.639
what you call in the final minute. Maybe it's one you let go.

90
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.680
And overall, if you're a TCU
fan, you should feel like you got

91
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:09.000
a little bit job. That I
think is the most common answer that we're

92
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:13.639
seeing on the interwebs. Do you
agree, Yeah, I mostly do agree.

93
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:15.720
I think yeah. Again, by
the letter of the law, yeah,

94
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:21.199
that probably is a flagrant. It
does feel pretty ticky tack for for

95
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:25.519
that kind of moment. I mean, I get you know inadvertent contact can

96
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.399
be a flagrant. It probably should, because obviously you can see much worse

97
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.000
in inverting contact from time to time
than what we saw on this particular play.

98
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:38.720
Yeah, I think if you're a
TCU fan, you should pretty rightfully

99
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:43.560
not feel thrilled about it, even
if it is technically speaking the correct call.

100
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.639
Sah, I think you guys are
both wrong. I don't know.

101
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:47.720
We don't disagree a ton on the
show, but I think it was a

102
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:53.439
clear argued against something that benefits his
own team. No, I mean,

103
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:55.439
I know that that's gonna be the
take, and that's fine. You can

104
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.480
call me a homer like that's I
feel like I have a decent setup.

105
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.720
I've been called not a homer enough
on this show with being too critical of

106
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.959
Bill self or whatever. But I
think as as clear as day flagrant,

107
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.360
Like you read the rule book,
you hit somebody above the neck with an

108
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:12.079
elbow, it's gonna be called a
flagrant. Now, Hunter Dickinson did a

109
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:14.120
really good job selling it. I
don't even know if they were to stop

110
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.160
the game until yeah, until he
was rolling around on the floor, which

111
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.240
you know he knew the rule book
and took full advantage of it, and

112
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:23.560
I'm not saying it didn't hurt.
I'm sure it hurt like hell, but

113
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:26.279
he sure made a quick recovery to
be able to sink those two free throws

114
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:30.560
and then score the game winner a
couple of possessions later. So yeah,

115
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:32.959
I thought it was an absolutely easy
call for the officials. I didn't know

116
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.839
what they were gonna call it for
what you guys said, because do they

117
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:39.759
call it with him and at left. We've seen things that are worse than

118
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.160
that and not be called flagrance By
a letter of the law. It's a

119
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.480
flagrant, and the flagrant two tag
is what happens whenever there's intent. I

120
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:47.160
think a lot of people think the
word flagrant means there has to be intent.

121
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:50.519
It does not. If you hit
somebody in the face with an elbow

122
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:54.800
on purpose or not, it is
going to be a flagrant. Maybe it's

123
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:59.040
time to review what exactly a flagrant
one entails, because I'm with you,

124
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:03.639
getting too shot and the ball that
feels a little bit much in that moment,

125
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.639
considering it was an accidental banging of
the elbow into a nose. But

126
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.519
by the rule book, they got
it right, and that's not something that

127
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.600
you can say a ton about the
refs. There's a ton of awful calls

128
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:16.839
in this game. By the way, I don't want to be the KU

129
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.240
fan that when they benefit from the
biggest call in the game, I get

130
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.920
on there and I say, well, the refs screwed up both things.

131
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:28.519
But come on, we were like
two minutes after Emmanuel Miller just shoving somebody

132
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.320
I think it was el Marco Jackson
and taking two zero steps back with a

133
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:35.840
blatant push off, and they didn't
call that because it was in a close

134
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:37.720
game. And then there was another
moment earlier in the game where there was

135
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.960
a really egregious flop I think also
by Miller, and they didn't call that

136
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.399
or they did call that a foul
on Kansas. So per usual, the

137
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:48.799
officials missed a bunch of stuff,
But I don't think there's any room for

138
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.840
misinterpretation on this one. I think
that was as clear as day foul,

139
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:56.799
and I'm surprised that so many people
are so angry about it. That surprise

140
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:00.919
you, Like, it seemed kind
of obvious, but being there and then

141
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.519
watching it on the replay, I
mean, I don't disagree that it is

142
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.000
a foul. Like I said,
I do think it's the right call.

143
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.480
It is a foul. I just
I don't know. I guess it didn't

144
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.240
love it, which I guess is
just like that's purely my own opinion obviously,

145
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.360
Like I don't have necessarily any ground
to stand on if I'm am minting

146
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.679
it's a foul. I do think
it would be weird to be like,

147
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.320
I do think it'd be weird if
you're a TCU fan to like be like,

148
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:31.799
oh my gosh, the refs completely
screwed us over here because it is

149
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:37.879
a foul. But I understand maybe
being like, you know, I've seen

150
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:43.039
a lot more physical fouls in my
time. I would get if you felt

151
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.799
disappointed, You've also seen a lot
more physical plays not yet called fouls.

152
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:52.159
Right, How are you surprised that
fans are reacting that way when like every

153
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.039
single time a bad call is called
it on field House? It seems like

154
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:01.600
when I had Twitter, it was
kse State fans, Missouri fans very very

155
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.480
quick to jump point out. Even
college basketball in general thinks that kau gets

156
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:07.480
a favorable with salon on field House. So there's always you know, it

157
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.080
goes back to this few mc kaywac
walk like that's like the poster child of

158
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:16.039
Kau getting called in on the field
house. But it seems like anytime anything

159
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:20.559
slightly controversial, it's called in KU's
favor in al infield house. The Twitter

160
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.440
keyboard Warriors are quick to jump on
their author unemployment for a second, to

161
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.240
go on their keyboard and talk about
kay basketball getting good, good calls in

162
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.480
the onfield house. It's just it's
it's like it's like a groundhog scene,

163
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.360
a shadow. Well they are,
but most of the time, if that

164
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.320
happens, their judgment calls like this
feed call was something that they got incorrect.

165
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:41.440
You look at the real book and
they made their wrong call. He

166
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:46.000
took he took more steps than you
had than you're allowed to take, and

167
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.200
therefore they should have called it.
It was also one of those calls where

168
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.159
in the final few minutes you have
people that say, if it's that close

169
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.639
and there's only a couple of seconds
left, that you let more stuff go

170
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.320
or whatever. It's why guys get
tackled on hal Mary's in the NFL way

171
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.679
more stuff that would have been called
pass interfair on just about any play throughout

172
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:03.279
the course of the game, but
not on the last play. Fine whatever.

173
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.799
But this was, like by the
rule book, it's a foul.

174
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.360
Like isn't that what you want an
Alan Fieldhouse. You want refs to stick

175
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:15.200
to the rules and not get bought, not get persuaded by noise, not

176
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:20.159
be persuaded by how much times left
or the game situation. It's an elbow

177
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.120
to the face. I'm surprised that. And I don't know if there are

178
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.919
actually people that really think that that
was a Kansas and Alan Fieldhouse call,

179
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.440
or if it's just people who are
tired of seeing Kansas win and therefore it

180
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:37.240
a noise then that it so happened
to benefit Kansas. But that's getting called

181
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:43.360
in any building against any team.
That just seemed like an easy call.

182
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:48.080
And I felt horrible for Ernest Uday, who is a good dude and was

183
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:50.399
just trying to help his team win
in a building that you know he wanted

184
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.279
to win at badly. There was
no mal intent whatsoever behind him, just

185
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:58.320
trying to get a rebound and clear
out or still a pass I guess and

186
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:00.200
clear out. But yeah, it
was a foul. I thought it as

187
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:03.120
clear as day. I'm over refs. I'm so over reps. I've had

188
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.080
enough refs in the last week between
the NFL refs and the reporting eligible and

189
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:13.639
this and just they're so all the
time refs, this refs that no one's

190
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.559
ever happy. Kansas got the benefit
in this game from the officials. You

191
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.399
won't have to wait long to see
a big call go against them because refs

192
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:26.960
are out to screw everybody throughout the
course of a season. Yeah, I

193
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:28.799
think that is an excellent note to
end on. All Right, shall we

194
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:33.320
move on to Hunter Dickinson. Yeah, and his excellent outing at least on

195
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.080
one side of the floor. He
had thirty points and eleven rebounds, and

196
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:41.360
he went thirteen for twenty from the
floor. They needed every single one of

197
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:48.080
his buckets. Felt like the ultimate
Dickinson experience, as his offense his rebounding

198
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.080
were brilliant, but his defense was
exploited by TCU with plenty of buckets at

199
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.519
the rim. Overall, Nick,
how would you assess a thirty and eleven

200
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:01.200
double double from Hunter Dickinson? But
he was made a little bit the lacks

201
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:09.519
on defense offensively well endowed defensively.
Use some improvements, But yeah, I've

202
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.720
had that criticism all Like, I'm
not first of all, thirty points and

203
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:16.399
love of rebounds. Does not deserve
any criticism regardless of how he played on

204
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.159
defense. But I've said this season
that it seems like at times he's kind

205
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.720
of lazy on switches and in the
paint, not being great at defending,

206
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.039
at least before his size, that
can be thrown away. This dude's averaging.

207
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.320
Him and Kevin McCuller are doing enough
offensively that they can guys like you

208
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.879
know, kJ Adams and Dwan Harris
should make up some of the slack on

209
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.480
defense he's been. He's been the
exceptional. This was an exceptionable exceptional performance.

210
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.200
I think that's the rerect the correct
take. Connor Dickinson was fantastic,

211
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.200
and we talk about how, no, he's not the best defender, and

212
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:50.080
the reason he's not the best defender
is because are there plays that he doesn't

213
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.519
go as hard at contesting a shot? Yes, but then what happens He

214
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.399
had two fous thirty five minutes.
Why was Hunter Digginson in a spot to

215
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:03.399
score four points in the final minutes
of a game Kansas won by two points.

216
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.720
Because he's never in foul trouble,
He's always available, and he's never

217
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.679
tired. They have him out there
because of his play style. There are

218
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:16.200
plenty of things you can critique about
his play style. Yeah, it'd be

219
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.879
awesome if he was Marcus Garrett in
a seven foot two body on the defensive

220
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.720
end, but he's not. You
have to take what you can get.

221
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.879
His play style is absolutely what allowed
TCU to get some buckets at the rim,

222
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:28.159
which also they're good at that.
They would have scored against plenty of

223
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.679
good defensive teams as well. Bill
self didn't seem concerned about it either.

224
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.799
Bill Self said that Kansas only gave
up if you take out points off turnovers,

225
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:39.519
TCU didn't even make it out of
the fifties. The defense was fine.

226
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:45.879
The problem was TCU's best offense was
taking the ball away and running with

227
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:50.279
it. All of that nonsense that
you saw with Kansas turning it over eighteen

228
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.759
times is what led at TCU scoring
so many points. Dickinson gave up some

229
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:56.679
buckets, but Perry Ellis did too, and everybody thought he was a sucky

230
00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:58.759
defender, and it's like, no, that's just basketball. I don't know.

231
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.840
It was fantastic five stars per Hunter. It's his second best performance as

232
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:07.759
a Jayhawk after Kentucky. That's my
opinion. Uh yeah, I agree.

233
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:11.799
I also, I mean, I
think a guy can be a bad defender,

234
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:13.360
that doesn't make him a bad player. Like I think we can very

235
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:18.000
readily admit that Hunter Dickinson is not
the best defender we've ever seen in the

236
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.240
post position for the Jayhawks. It's
like he's not you know, there's been

237
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:24.679
much better defenders down low. I
just don't think that changes my opinion of

238
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:26.799
him too much. If he's gonna
go out and average like you know,

239
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:30.200
dang near twenty a night, right. That's what I want to ask you,

240
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.759
because while you didn't like Marcus Garrett, who, honest to God,

241
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.720
might be like the inverse of Hunter
Dickinson in a different position. Garrett was

242
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:41.320
an unbelievable defender. We obviously know
that National Defensive Player of the Year.

243
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:45.639
The offense didn't come as naturally.
It wasn't that he was terrible at it,

244
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:48.480
it just wasn't natural for him.
And then also the season where he

245
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:52.480
was the prominent point guard, he
didn't have a ton of weapons around him

246
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.720
that at least according to Kansas's state
you know, based off of who Kansas

247
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:00.759
normally has whatever, Hunter Dickinson is
one of the two three best offensive players

248
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:03.480
in the country, averaging nineteen points
and twelve rebounds a game. He's an

249
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:08.759
unstoppable force and has been every season
of his career. Defensively, yeah,

250
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:12.320
yeah, not the best on a
team that's pretty good at defense. So

251
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:15.600
I mean, if you didn't like
Marcus Garrett, I guess that makes sense

252
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:21.480
why you really do like Hunter Digginson. Yeah, and again, I mean

253
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:27.200
I do value immensely having good defenders. I think you just have to be

254
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:33.440
able to score the basketball to start
at a program like Kansas. I just

255
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:36.559
don't think that's really a very spicy
take. Not that you can't be good,

256
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:37.519
not that you can't have a role, but yeah, I mean I

257
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.480
think that's that's why I like Hunter. If you're gonna give up buckets,

258
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:44.000
go get him back. And that
was kind of a problem with like Mitch

259
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:47.799
Lightfoot for a long time, not
a very good defender outside of the occasional

260
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:51.120
shot block, but then it wasn't
like he was averaging anything. He was

261
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:55.879
a non score most of his career. Obviously not the case with Hunter.

262
00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:00.399
So yeah, I think I'm definitely
gonna live with him giving up some buckets

263
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.559
down low because he's a juggernaut on
the other end, And I feel very

264
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.799
confident saying that ninety ninety five percent
of the games, Hunter Dickinson is going

265
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:11.079
to get more baskets than he allows, like he's always He's still seven too,

266
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:15.880
He's not exactly going to be like
non affective. Yeah, are not

267
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.680
affecting shots, I should say in
the paint, like he's going to avert

268
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:22.519
many a point guard from taking buckets
at him. And it's one of those

269
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:25.599
things where I don't know, did
you guys ever play the backyard sports CD

270
00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:30.039
games growing up? Uh? Football
and basketball? You did play basketball?

271
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.200
Okay, that's good enough for me, so backyard basketball, right. All

272
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.680
the different kids had different skill sets, and you never picked five the five

273
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:41.400
best three point shooters. Are you
never picked the five best defenders? There's

274
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:44.200
balance. If you have a couple
guys on your team that are really good

275
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:47.920
at defense, then you were gonna
look at some guys who had their skill

276
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:49.720
points maxed out on the offensive end, and they may not have been as

277
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:52.759
good on defense, but you say, hey, we got plenty of that

278
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:55.799
on our team. Same story,
Lige. No matter what, every once

279
00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:57.000
in a while, you're gonna get
a donut and you can dunk from half

280
00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:00.920
gas. You can dunk it and
it's worth three points, So you better

281
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:03.720
make sure you step behind the line
before you hit that shot button on that

282
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:06.799
Yes, I'm playing that like twenty
four hours ago, so I get that

283
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:11.160
reference. But the thing with Hunter
is you have fantastic defenders on your team,

284
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:15.960
and Jawan Harris and Kevin mccoller and
kJ Adams. He doesn't need to

285
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.920
be a chem Elijahan on the defensive
end. He's he is exactly what they

286
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.480
need. They need twenty and ten. That's what Bill self said last year

287
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.839
in his season ending press conference.
What do you need next year? Bill

288
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.480
sarcastically, Well, twenty and ten
from a center would be nice. That's

289
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:32.400
exactly what he has. Although you
want better. He's got twenty and twelve

290
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:37.880
right now. So Dickinson in fantastic
newists. Yeah, and he probably a

291
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.200
couple of blocks and shoots forty something
percent from threes. I mean, he's

292
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:45.319
ridiculous. Hunter Dickinson is the best
offensive big I've ever seen play at Kansas.

293
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.039
Like, and that's about twenty ish
years of fandom that I really remember.

294
00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:52.839
What's up? Yeah, I would
not disagree. Twenty is years.

295
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:59.839
That is pocket change compared to the
streak that Kansas has going thanks to fields

296
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:04.119
out put on these bills to must
How about thirty three straight years that the

297
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:08.200
Jayhawks have started one and zero in
conference play. So there are some pretty

298
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:12.319
wild streaks we've talked about on here. The Senior Night streak is great,

299
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:15.599
the Big twelve winning all those conference
titles in a row, we all remember

300
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:19.039
that, all that whatever. That's
about as wild of a streak as you

301
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:22.400
can have. Thirty three in a
row, and just the last two have

302
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:30.440
been ridiculous to get. They haven't
lost an opening conference game since year number

303
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:36.440
four, I believe, of the
Roy Williams era. Yeah, that is

304
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:40.839
pretty wild. Like eighty nine nine, you think they would randomly just unluckily

305
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:44.440
lose one there year number eight eight? Were so Roy's first eighty eight,

306
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:47.920
eighty nine, ninety Yeah, yeah, it's it's right around there. First

307
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:51.079
couple of years of the Roy era
just ridiculous. Okay, let's talk about

308
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:55.680
Dewan Harris. I put him second
because I wanted to talk about him higher

309
00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:59.160
up in the priority list here.
Dewan Harris was shut out in the first

310
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:02.079
half. We were all texting about
how that was a problem in the first

311
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:06.240
half. I believe Kansas all their
points besides one free throw from Johnny Furfey,

312
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:08.400
came from kJ Adams, Kevin mccullar, Hunter Dickinson. I think that's

313
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:11.119
all they had in the first half
other than the one free throw. Dewan

314
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:15.400
goes from zero at halftime to ten
in the second half. Three for seven

315
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:19.200
from the floor, plus eight assists
and five turnovers both led the team.

316
00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:23.640
He also made four clutch free throws
in the final few minutes. You guys

317
00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:26.359
both have had words about Dewan Harris
this year, Nick, mainly you.

318
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:30.960
I'm curious your thoughts on Dewan Harris
in this game. He was great in

319
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.160
the second half, not so great
in the first half. How did the

320
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:36.079
whole thing shape up for you?
Yeah, I think it shaped out.

321
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:38.920
How a season has been a mixed
bag, very I tailored two different Dwan

322
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:41.519
Harris's. You know, we'll go
back to the Kentucky game where he was

323
00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:45.759
unbelievable, and then there's just some
games, you know, like the zero

324
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:49.880
point performance I think to start the
to start the year, and it's just

325
00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:55.200
it's Dewan Harris has been a little
puzzling this year. In the past season,

326
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:59.200
it seemed like he's been a little
bit more reliable and now right now,

327
00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:03.519
defensive he's gonna be the same,
But right now it does he does

328
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:06.000
seem kind of a little bit up
in the air on what we're gonna get

329
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:07.279
from to one Harris, I don't
know, what do you think, Glennon,

330
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:12.119
Yeah, I don't. I don't
necessarily disagree. I do think he

331
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:18.839
was solid and certainly had a huge
bucket near the end of the game too

332
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.880
that that weird floating or mid air
floater or I should say, I think

333
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.680
he was solid. I think I
think he's been solid all season. To

334
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:32.039
be quite honest, I don't really
think he's been bad. But yeah,

335
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:36.079
I don't know. It's it's kind
of tough when you saw five turnovers,

336
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:40.839
you're not a huge, huge scoring
threat in the first half. I still

337
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:45.240
think he's been good. Uh,
but I do think they're gonna need more

338
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:48.839
of ten or so points from the
night rather than five. Well, and

339
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.200
Harris contributed to the biggest problem of
the game for Kansas was just turnovers.

340
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:56.759
I legitimately thought the offense was better
with him out for a while and then

341
00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:00.519
suddenly he wasn't. And Bill self
said after the game, something Bill self

342
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.319
says after most games, Wow are
we good when Dwan Harris looks to score?

343
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:07.440
YEP, I don't know what the
deal is. I don't know if

344
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:10.920
he likes to kind of start off
by not trying to score and kind of

345
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:14.200
trying to feel out the rest of
the game or how the opponent playing,

346
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:17.480
or if he likes to kick it
in late because it feels like he does

347
00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:21.359
do more second half scoring than first
half scoring. Uh, but wow,

348
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:26.240
Dewan Harris is just amazing to watch
when he gets going the way he quarterbacks

349
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:32.160
an offense. How spectacular of a
final entry pass that was whenever he was

350
00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:34.680
he was getting the ball up and
over a defender to Hunter Dickinson for the

351
00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:40.960
game winner, Like he is just
a maestro quarterbacking in offense whenever he wants.

352
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:45.400
And then there's moments wherever he just
completely doesn't look to score and it

353
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:48.279
looks like they're playing four on five
out there. Bottom line, the National

354
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.000
Championship is plenty good enough for me
to know that they can go all the

355
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.680
way with Dwan Harris at the controls. We're never gonna be able to say

356
00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:00.599
that's not true. If anybody ever
says Kansas can't win a chanampionship with the

357
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:06.599
Wan Harris, they will be immediately
discredited. They can't do it. That

358
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:08.680
is true, though he almost did
lose them that title game. And speaking

359
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:12.519
of turnovers, Josh Allen is doing
everything he can to ensure that it is

360
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:17.039
not the Dolphins coming to Arrowhead next
week, because good lord, that's not

361
00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:18.839
TCU you're playing out there, Josh, you don't have to turn it over

362
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:23.119
every possession. Let's talk about those
turnovers. I really enjoy that I no

363
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:26.680
longer am the one that talks about
football the most on this show. You're

364
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:29.480
not. And you're also so that
that game, the Sunday Night football game

365
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:32.720
is on as we're recording this.
Obviously you can tell, uh and Landon

366
00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:37.200
is a solid forty five seconds behind
the rest of us, which is unbelievable

367
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:40.440
because we're on commercial yet. Have
they even snapped the ball on third down?

368
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:45.039
Nope? That's that's it. Yeah, you'll never guess what happens on

369
00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:48.400
this next Playland and it's it's I'm
gonna go ahead and say an interceptions.

370
00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:55.039
It's not the one you think.
Wow, Christian Wilkins a fumble you could

371
00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:59.680
have guessed, Wow, just a
speaking of Kansas had eighteen of the damn

372
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:06.400
thing. Is that a concern or
is that just TCU being TCU. I

373
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:10.519
think TC's decently good at causing them, so I'm not. Yeah for me.

374
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:14.400
Also, the first conference game,
which is always a little bit weird

375
00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:17.039
sometimes, Nick, do you do
you make anything of the eighteen turnovers?

376
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:22.160
I was trying to find the stat
the turnover statistics for the season. I

377
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:25.519
think turnovers have been a problem for
this team all year. I think it

378
00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:29.680
was exacerbated in this game. Yeah, so I don't. I think that

379
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:32.799
that has been one of the biggest
problems if you if you can pinpoint.

380
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:36.079
I know we've talked about as this
team, you know, on the starting

381
00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:37.440
in conference play. On the last
show, we're like, gave it a

382
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.960
grade. What was going on with
this team in the in the post in

383
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:45.160
the first half of the season,
and one of our biggest concerns was that

384
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:48.599
they kind of are are a little
bit careless with the ball, and this

385
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.599
year they are two hundred and forty
seventh. I just found the stat twelve

386
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:56.160
point four turnovers per game, So
it's one of their worst s. Mestricks

387
00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:59.440
is turnovers. This year. They're
always lousy taking care of the ball.

388
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:03.079
It feels like, which they shouldn't
be under Bill Soft. They have the

389
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:04.799
one Harris at point guard, Like, why is this happening? Well,

390
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:08.000
I think TCU being TCU is the
biggest reason in this game, because the

391
00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:11.000
horn Frogs are really good and everybody
acts like, well, they just threw

392
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:15.000
it at a guy unforced. I
mean that's also TCU. Like that's the

393
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:19.039
mindset that they instill in their opponents, right, Like they have really really

394
00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:23.640
good speed on that team. They're
very athletic. This is what Jamie Dixon

395
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:29.440
teams do. They run fast,
they thrive in transition. Tc led the

396
00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:33.839
country and transition buckets last year,
and then they flipped half their roster over

397
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:37.160
and what are they again this year? Number one in transition scoring. It's

398
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:38.920
what they do. We said on
the show, one you can't turn it

399
00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:42.079
over because they're gonna punish you in
transition, and two you can't foul them

400
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:45.440
because they're good at the line.
We saw both of those things come to

401
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.440
fruition in this game. I think
the horn Frogs and anyone who's listened to

402
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:52.079
my takes on this show will know
that I didn't just start saying this after

403
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:53.880
they almost won an Allen Field House. I think they're the fifth best team

404
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:56.440
in the Big Twelve going into the
season. Right now, I think they're

405
00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.319
fourth. I think they're better than
Texas. I think this team deserve to

406
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:03.359
be ranked. I think they are
one of the four or five best teams

407
00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:04.920
in the Big Twelve. And I'm
glad there's no return game this year,

408
00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:08.039
because this is a darn good team
that's absolutely gonna take down some of the

409
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:14.599
juggernauts in the conference. Nick tell
us about kJ Adams. Yeah, kJ

410
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:18.400
Adams again, it seems like the
calling card this year, Hunter Dickinson Good.

411
00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:22.920
kJ Adams terrific. He posted his
first career double double with eighteen points

412
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.240
and ten rebounds in thirty seven minutes. Adams was seven for eight from the

413
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:30.319
floor. Talk about efficiency. After
not having ten rebounds in any of his

414
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:33.279
first eighty five career games, He's
now done it twice this week. kJ

415
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:36.920
was also four for five from the
free throw line, with most of those

416
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:41.160
makes coming in clutch moments. I
always, I always love me a good

417
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:45.359
kJ fiss pump after he makes a
huge bucket. He's He's awesome. The

418
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:48.319
whole story this whole storyline's awesome.
He's awesome. It's so cool to see

419
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:52.960
that he's really jelling in this KU
lineup. And like we've said, they've

420
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:56.440
got a pretty much a four headed
monster. We talked about coming into the

421
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:02.599
season with Kevin McCuller heard to consent
into one Harris the Big three, but

422
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:07.960
with him in there, Yeah,
this this team is loaded forty offensively or

423
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:11.240
not offensively, just forty deep.
kJ is gonna go down as one of

424
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:14.559
the most beloved players in the Bill
Self era. And there's so many little

425
00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:17.920
things in there that aren't necessarily in
his control that are leading to that.

426
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:22.079
The biggest reason is his personality.
He's an energizer bunny, and typically the

427
00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:26.119
term energizer bunny is given the guys
who are good at providing energy and not

428
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:30.480
really good at basketballing, like Mitch
Lightfoot. But Charlie Moore, well,

429
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.960
yeah, it was supposed to be
the sparklug certain kind energy. He had

430
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:36.880
the energy, but it just didn't
ever change. Right. kJ is a

431
00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:38.279
force and he seems like he adds
something to his game every week. But

432
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:44.000
Kj's a national champ. Kj's had
the triumph of the human spirit with what

433
00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:47.119
what he went through personally this year. That's got the fans behind him.

434
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:49.680
kJ is one of the most improved
players in the country. Like there's all

435
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:55.759
of these different things that I think
blend together to get you truly one of

436
00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:59.920
the most liked players in the Bill
Self era. He is so good to

437
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:03.000
root for, and I think he's
just turning into a terrific basketball player.

438
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:07.160
There's not a lot of weaknesses in
his game. As Nick said, at

439
00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:10.039
the beginning of the year, we
struggled. He was struggling at the free

440
00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:12.519
throw line, and then we saw
him struggle to rebound the ball. And

441
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:15.440
what's he gone out and done the
last couple of weeks. Those have been

442
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:19.680
his shining points. Like man,
the only thing lacking in his game right

443
00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:22.720
now is he doesn't have a jump
shot. Other than that, we thought

444
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:26.119
that Kansas had a big three at
the start of the year, they got

445
00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:30.119
a big four. Kj's a stud. You know who else was a stud

446
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:32.680
in this game? Land and I'll
play the music. He's not a white

447
00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:41.799
guy, but we may as well
play it crazy. Arn Tennyson made eighteen

448
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:48.119
threes and thirteen games total in the
town went six vague Good God at allenfield

449
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:52.200
House, as is tradition at this
point, just a guy that goes all

450
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:59.079
the way off for really no reason. Seven points per game, and he

451
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:03.039
goes out there and in twenty four
and it took him long fricking enough.

452
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:07.400
I was losing my mind figuring out
why they weren't doing this. He didn't

453
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:11.279
score after they switched Towan Harris onto
him. Gee would have been nice to

454
00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:14.880
try that thirty five minutes. Yeah, I did. That only made sense

455
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:18.839
to do. Good lord, that
was that was insane. Yeah he was

456
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:22.640
spectacular, and yes he did have
some open looks, but my goodness,

457
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.759
was he knocking down anything? Oh
yeah, like he is in Two of

458
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:29.359
the six were open. The other
side was gonna say, I don't mean

459
00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:32.599
to I yeah, almost in sink. Sorry, I didn't mean to wrap.

460
00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:34.200
Go ahead, Ryan, and I'll
foll up after you, my little

461
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:37.359
anecdotic, No, go for it. That's pretty much all I wanted to

462
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:40.559
say, just that most of them
were off balanced, hand in the face,

463
00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:45.799
ridiculous shots. I was just gonna
say, uh, you remember a

464
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:49.319
guy that came off the bench last
year when TCU beat KU by twenty three

465
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:53.400
in Allen field House, who went
three for four from the three point range.

466
00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:57.880
And now he plays at McNee State. Remember his name, Oh it

467
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:04.599
was the it was the was it
Francisco Farrabello. Shahaa. Wells, he's

468
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:08.720
averaging nineteen point eight points per game
at McNee State. Now, yeah,

469
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:14.000
everybody, everybody that the guy in
section twelve he scored seventeen off the bench

470
00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:17.000
against in the Ratagans count. Yeah. Yeah, that game was fun.

471
00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:19.839
I watched. I looked up on
by the Way, Rest in Peace,

472
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:25.200
Matthew loves Ball. That account not
being there is really really fricking making my

473
00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:30.200
YouTube highlight watching experience worse. But
I found I looked up TCU Kansas highlights

474
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:33.559
and the game was on CBS last
year too, So I saw it was

475
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:36.359
from CBS. I assumed it was
from the game that just took place,

476
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:38.599
and it was from last year's game. And I watched a couple of minutes

477
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:41.880
of it before I realized what was
going on, as like, this isn't

478
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:47.359
the game, Oh that was last
year when they just got absolutely shredded in

479
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:51.799
the first twelve minutes. TCU scored
thirty seven points in the first thirteen minutes

480
00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:56.359
of that game last year. Wow, it wasn't good. This one almost

481
00:30:56.400 --> 00:31:02.400
wasn't good too. TCU narrowly misses
out on becoming the first team to ever

482
00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:06.279
win back to back games at Allen
field House in the Bill Seal era.

483
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:10.720
That's another ridiculous stat By the way, can we talk about that Bill self

484
00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:14.200
is in year number twenty one and
the same team has never beat him twice

485
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:19.160
in a row at Allen Yeah,
that is truly kind of absurd, Like,

486
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:23.559
I don't quite know how you've gone
that long. It is almost like

487
00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:29.519
Houston does not have a seventy eight
percent a chance to win in Allen field

488
00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:33.480
House because it's a very very difficult
filling to win in yep, and that

489
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:37.519
can't happen until next year now because
they didn't lose. TC's the only home

490
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:41.519
loss last year, So if they
lose to anybody this year, it can't

491
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:45.839
be against somebody who It won't be
two in a row until next year at

492
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.359
the earliest, so that streak will
live on. Kevin McCuller sixteen points,

493
00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:52.119
five rebounds, three assists. He
was only six for sixteen from the floor,

494
00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:55.519
but as he's done all year,
found a way to fill up the

495
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:59.279
stat book. So I don't have
a lot of analyzation with Kevin McCuller,

496
00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:01.799
just wanted to get his stats.
We can move on. Nick is posing

497
00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:06.920
the question which was worse last year's
TCU route at Allen or the year before

498
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:09.400
that's Kentucky route at Allen Boy Kansas. They only lose one home game of

499
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:13.000
year, but when they do they
get bombed. I'll give you a third

500
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:15.720
option. Sure, how about the
one the year before that when Shaka Smart

501
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:20.400
came in here and they won by
like by like twenty five. I might

502
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:25.200
go with the TCU one because they
also wasted Jalen Wilson like thirty one point

503
00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:29.599
out there. Yeah, yeah they
did, But that can the Kentucky win?

504
00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:32.799
Though they fifty one points the first
half. That was probably the most

505
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:38.519
onslaught of a first half I've ever
seen the Kentucky. I think they said

506
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:42.519
that was the most points Kansas is
allowed in the first half at Allen field

507
00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:45.640
House since two thousand and seven.
There's the Texas wae. Yeah, the

508
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:50.000
Texas wan was awful. The Nick
has nicely posted all three score bugs in

509
00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:52.240
here for us. I'm looking at
the TCU game last year, so what

510
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:55.440
they then they lost the game in
the second half last year, not the

511
00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:59.000
first half, because they got it
within ten and a half and then they

512
00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:00.759
went out and scored twenty two in
the second half. That's that one.

513
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:05.960
Kentucky was over quickly Texas. I
think that was kind of a game early

514
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:07.480
in the second half, and then
it was only an eight point game a

515
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:09.720
half. Yeah, and that was
in front of no fans, and that

516
00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:13.960
was really That team was ranked third
in the country four weeks before, they

517
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:17.279
weren't ranked at all. The Iowa
State COVID cancelation costs them. What would

518
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:21.359
still be an on I looked,
I was looking at that box I was

519
00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:23.039
looking at the box score, and
it's like, why was Alan Fieldhouse only

520
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:29.240
fifteen percent full? Oh? The
global pandemic thingy that happened four years ago,

521
00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:31.519
it did. What else happened in
the past was Ernest Dowd. They

522
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:35.599
played at Kansas and he didn't do
much in his return here. Two free

523
00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:37.720
throws, four rebounds, two steals, twenty minutes and missed his only shot.

524
00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:40.359
I think he'd be better if it
was still at Kansas, But I

525
00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:43.519
couldn't help but feel bad for the
guy. I don't need a lot of

526
00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:45.759
analysis here either, just wanted to
point out like he seems like a really

527
00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:50.920
good dude. Found Bill self.
They had a little exchange, and really

528
00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:53.720
a bummer that that had to be
his experience at allan because I'm sure he

529
00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:58.000
feels bad about it. But once
a Jayhawk, always a Jayhawk, Thanks

530
00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:01.480
Ernest. He's probably probably better than
in Parker Brown. Oh yeah, no,

531
00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:05.920
he's better than Parker Brown. And
yeah, all right, let's the

532
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:09.679
new Big twelve schedules. I've seen
laundry laundry machines with or washing machines with

533
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:15.159
better utility than Parker Brown. The
new Big twelve schedule is worse than Parker

534
00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:20.679
Brown. It sucks. I want
Home and Holmes. Yeah, it's just

535
00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:23.559
not gonna happen in the new capitalistic
Oh what did I say? A version

536
00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:27.840
of college. Hey, it's okay. At least I get to watch b

537
00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:30.599
Yu come in here and lose by
twenty five in a few nights instead of

538
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:37.039
getting to watch this fantastic matchup twice
Land. And you think it's bad,

539
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:39.599
now, just wait four years down
the road, and it's basically going to

540
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:45.360
be You're gonna have the Kansas City
Legends, the Farm League team that was

541
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:51.559
formerly the Missouri Tigers is now going
to be the Chiefs G League team in

542
00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:53.800
five years when it's a super talk. I hope that's not true. I

543
00:34:53.880 --> 00:35:01.159
so hope. Oh just kidding,
not anymore. After reading these two guards

544
00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:07.039
stats, go ahead, somebody read
me about it. Marco Jackson not a

545
00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:09.599
great night. He was held scoreless, also had two rebounds two assists in

546
00:35:09.639 --> 00:35:14.239
twenty four minutes. He was oh
a four from the floor. Johnny Furfey

547
00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:17.000
and Nick Timberlake did make three each
in the second half, which were both

548
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:21.920
pretty badly needed, playing ten and
eleven minutes respectively, but not doing a

549
00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:25.039
lot else. Jumar McDowell played less
than fifteen seconds where he committed a turnover

550
00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:31.000
and was immediately pulled back to the
bench by Bill. But yeah, overall,

551
00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:35.880
you know, not a lot to
not a lot to see here from

552
00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:39.360
the two guards. I thought that
Timberlake was actually the best, which is

553
00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:44.639
wild. Furfee was on the floor
last. He also had four fouls Furfey

554
00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:47.639
did, so that wasn't great.
I don't know why. Jamari McDowell just

555
00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:54.159
doesn't play like he has such a
lousy leash. Timberlake being productive and legitimately

556
00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:58.199
giving them a couple of big shots
was good. Like that was good.

557
00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:01.199
Though they can't count on to be
a fifteen points a game night, so

558
00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:05.199
hopefully they can count on a couple
of buckets per big twelve game that go

559
00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:07.800
a long way. Yeah, and
I don't actually even disagree that Timberlake was

560
00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:10.000
the best of the four. I
actually think he probably did give some of

561
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:14.840
the best minutes. I think we're
starting to get to the point where this

562
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:20.840
is kind of what we can expect
from Furfey and Timberlake is ideally they each

563
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:23.840
hit about a three and maybe they
get another layup or a couple of free

564
00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:29.960
throws, and that's about it.
Furfey has the highest ceiling offensively of any

565
00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:36.000
of these four. I think Jackson
has the highest ceiling probably overall. But

566
00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:39.039
I don't think you're gonna get real
scoring out of any of these guys this

567
00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:44.159
year. Well, and I'm just
gonna say it again and Ryan go ahead

568
00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:45.639
after this. I'm just gonna say
it on the point of Almarco Jackson,

569
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:50.239
he's not playing in his in his
true role, which is to play the

570
00:36:50.280 --> 00:36:52.079
primary point suard position. He's a
true point. He's a point. He's

571
00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:58.320
a point. That's the observation.
Yeah, yeah, and El Marco this

572
00:36:58.519 --> 00:37:01.800
was the game for him to posted
on Twitter that this was his his big

573
00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:06.960
game was coming up, like this
was a fast matchup. There was one

574
00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:10.159
hundred and what is that math?
One hundred and sixty four combined points in

575
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:15.480
this game and he had zero,
Like this was a matchup for him wherever

576
00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:22.199
speed and ability to take the ball
away and transition opportunities was how it was

577
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:25.480
gonna be won. And he goes
out there and doesn't do anything. Like

578
00:37:25.639 --> 00:37:30.639
just brutal, brutal performance from l
Marco. His defense wasn't good either,

579
00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:34.159
like, and that had been pretty
solid throughout the year. So he's coming

580
00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:36.880
off the best game of his career. This is probably the worst one.

581
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:40.360
You're you gotta mix bag, right. It's like when Timberlake went off against

582
00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:44.960
Yale and we were like, is
this gonna be Nope, It's not same

583
00:37:45.039 --> 00:37:46.800
with El Marco. It appears at
this point I think self plays him a

584
00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:50.320
little too much. If we're being
honest, I think Jamori mcdala should play

585
00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:52.000
more. It is irrelevant, but
I have to put it in the notes

586
00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:55.159
somewhere. White Flag. Parker Brown
had a block that turned into a bucket

587
00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:59.559
for the horn Frogs anyway, and
nothing else in five minutes. They did

588
00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:02.039
not show his mom, which was
which was sad. That's the only reason

589
00:38:02.239 --> 00:38:07.159
give mc no we read about Kevin
mcculluor we just didn't analyze yep, Oh

590
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:10.159
well I was distracted by something else. Then that's on me. You're probably

591
00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:14.239
watching the football game, which is
more exciting. Shocking. One of us

592
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:17.800
made the show actively worse and weirder. That's never happened. That absolutely never

593
00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:24.000
happens. Any final takeaways. The
Jayhawks are one to zero. We all

594
00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:29.000
said after the Marquette game, Hey, they're gonna win ten in a row

595
00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:30.960
and ding ding ding ding. I
don't have a bell on my soundboard,

596
00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:34.920
but how about that, guys,
that's ten straight dubs, isn't it?

597
00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:36.960
Or is it nine? Oh?
It's nine? Oh, I hope I

598
00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:42.400
just didn't jinx it. They're thirteen
in the one. Oh no, that's

599
00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:44.599
nine. Okay, Well, we
said they'd win a lot in a row.

600
00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:45.960
They need to. They need to
get off to a good start in

601
00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:50.519
Big twelve play. They need to
have six out of seven in the win

602
00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:53.320
column at that point in the Big
twelve season at minimum. I think because

603
00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:58.119
the second half schedule is really tough, especially considering they just have two guaranteed

604
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:02.880
l's already bolted in there when they
huge games per ESPN and Iowa State depending

605
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:06.639
on who you ask, Good Lord, that's a joke, and Oklahoma on

606
00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:10.480
the road too, and Baylor losses
everywhere. ESPN has Kansas going nine to

607
00:39:10.519 --> 00:39:15.039
eight the rest of the way.
That makes sense. That's happened so many

608
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:19.960
times. Bill self has literally never
guess, let me guess, Houston's going

609
00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:23.199
seventeen to no. Bill self has
literally never won fewer than eleven games in

610
00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:30.639
Big twelve play. N ESPN says
Kansas is gonna win nine more. You

611
00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:32.400
know what, good starts conference play
here for the Hawks, and I think

612
00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:37.400
they're gonna be better than ten and
eight shockingly, I mean, I would

613
00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:39.480
hope. I think that this was, all things considered, one of the

614
00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:45.880
five or six ish most difficult games
on the Big twelve schedule, and they

615
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:49.239
won it barely. I think that
this game is gonna get better as the

616
00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:52.880
year goes on. I think TCU
is gonna finish with a good record in

617
00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:55.239
Big twelve play. I think TCU
looks like a five seed, if not

618
00:39:55.320 --> 00:39:59.679
better than that, and uh,
like, come on, they're ranked behind

619
00:39:59.719 --> 00:40:04.599
B one and teams like that.
There's no chance that I'm betting on BYU

620
00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:08.679
winning anything against TCU right now,
not in this league. Also, this

621
00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:15.079
is like pretty much exactly what I
thought would happen, is that Kansas would

622
00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:19.480
play up to their Big Twelve opponents. Yep, and it was still close.

623
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:23.000
Because I agree Ryan, I think
TCU is like, at absolute worst,

624
00:40:23.119 --> 00:40:27.039
like a sixth seed, and I
think they're gonna finish much better than

625
00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:30.800
that. But yeah, I think
they are not going to really have too

626
00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:34.199
much a problem winning a bunch more
Big Twelve games. This is what happens

627
00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:37.000
whenever you play against teams that play
crappy schedules, you don't know how good

628
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:40.639
they are. TCU hadn't been challenged
at any point this year. Really,

629
00:40:40.760 --> 00:40:44.000
they had lost a couple of games, but we hadn't gotten to see them

630
00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:46.000
against the ranked team yet, and
it turns out they're pretty good. On

631
00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:50.519
the flip side, we hadn't seen
BYU against anyone with a pulse yet this

632
00:40:50.599 --> 00:40:58.440
year and didn't go so good.
Nick any closing thoughts Thanks to Brett Smith,

633
00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:05.119
the head official for You Got Your
Veno Name? Yeah, yes,

634
00:41:05.280 --> 00:41:07.400
Ku fans checks clear. Now send
the next one for the Chiefs game next

635
00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:12.199
weekend. Fifty three percent from the
floor, thirty six percent from three to

636
00:41:12.239 --> 00:41:15.079
seventy four percent of the line,
and plus twelve on the glass. Those

637
00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:17.119
are all solid numbers that will play, but a lot of turnovers. Need

638
00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:24.840
to clean that up before they hit
the road this week. Big twelve games

639
00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:29.039
for real this time because we have
conference games to recap. This is our

640
00:41:29.119 --> 00:41:31.519
second attempt to do this. Because
I accidentally said the wrong word. It

641
00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:37.480
definitely wasn't even close to the right
word. So now we ejaculated when I

642
00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:44.360
meant to say rejuvenate. And I'm
excited about how we have two extra Big

643
00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:46.639
twelve games to talk about. Are
you guys as excited as I am?

644
00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:52.320
No, I can't possibly be.
I don't think. Well, let's let's

645
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:57.360
get on with it. Number three
Houston eighty nine, West Virginia fifty five.

646
00:41:57.679 --> 00:42:01.159
How about that? ESPN says told
just the oh weird how the best

647
00:42:01.159 --> 00:42:07.400
team of all time is ranked three, but Houston is the last remaining undefeated

648
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:10.320
team in college basketball? They are
fourteen and zher, I do think they're

649
00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:13.400
good. I do not think they're
anywhere close to the best team of all

650
00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:15.840
time obviously, And I don't think
they's good as the metrics say. Twenty

651
00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:20.079
points from LJ. Cryer. Every
single one of the stats in this game

652
00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:25.000
represents a total obliteration of the Mountaineers. Nick. How many Big twelve games

653
00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:30.760
is what Virginia going to win this
year? Maybe three or four? I

654
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:36.159
think I take an under on four. They're bad, but I think if

655
00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:39.400
they play Uca're gonna win three of
them. BYU I think they're winning two

656
00:42:39.480 --> 00:42:43.039
or three of those at least.
Yeah, I think four is probably the

657
00:42:43.119 --> 00:42:45.840
right answer. By the way,
Michigan State, who Ken Palm has one

658
00:42:46.039 --> 00:42:51.159
spot ahead of Kansas, is all
set to lose their sixth game. They're

659
00:42:51.199 --> 00:42:53.719
down by fifteen to Northwestern a halftime. They're gonna lose. They're gonna be

660
00:42:53.800 --> 00:42:58.880
nine and six, and they are
ahead of thirteen to one Kansas on Ken

661
00:42:58.920 --> 00:43:06.760
Palm Yay number eleven, Oklahoma seventy
one, Iowa State sixty three. Nick.

662
00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:09.599
Iowa State was also beloved in the
rankings. We all smartly said,

663
00:43:09.960 --> 00:43:14.480
Hey, their non cone schedule sucks. Don't fall in love looking pretty smart

664
00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:19.000
through one game. Yeah, only
one other player on either team scored were

665
00:43:19.079 --> 00:43:22.480
the twelve points, and that was
Oklahoma's Javian McCullum, who finished with fifteen.

666
00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:24.599
The Sooners made ten threes. I
would State is eleven to three and

667
00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:28.639
they've lost to only three teams with
any sort of a polls they played.

668
00:43:29.840 --> 00:43:32.480
Yeah, Iowa State, I don't
I think Iowa Well, I'll give you

669
00:43:32.519 --> 00:43:36.239
my big twelve tiers in a little
bit, but I think Iowa State is

670
00:43:36.320 --> 00:43:39.199
a whole bunch of math and I
think they're gonna have a losing record this

671
00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:44.519
year because they haven't played anyone.
They haven't beaten anybody at all this year.

672
00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:47.079
Somebody who really hasn't either. But
how about this, This was impressively

673
00:43:47.079 --> 00:43:52.840
He's Kansas State seventy seven, UCF
fifty two. Well, guys, we

674
00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:55.639
don't think Kansas State is particularly good, but we predicted that this might happen

675
00:43:55.639 --> 00:44:00.840
a few times to UCF this year, which is just I'm absolutely getting baptized

676
00:44:01.119 --> 00:44:07.920
by really physical and strong Big twelve
opponents. The Wildcats put a beat down

677
00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:12.360
on them and controlled this game throughout. Twenty five points for Tyler Perry.

678
00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:16.639
How good are the Cats? I
think They're still about as good as I

679
00:44:16.679 --> 00:44:22.559
thought early in the year, which
is totally fine, but not as good

680
00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:25.320
as last season. I think they're
solid team. I think they're gonna win

681
00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:30.000
like eight or nine Big twelve games, maybe ten. But I think they're

682
00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:35.360
very much a middle of the conference
team. I don't think Nick went who

683
00:44:35.400 --> 00:44:39.360
wins more Big twelve games? Kansas
State or Cincinnati, Probably k State?

684
00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:45.360
Kse State? Yes? Who wins
more games? Kansas State or Iowa State?

685
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:50.519
Iowa State push? Yeah, they
both feel about eight and ten.

686
00:44:50.840 --> 00:44:57.280
Who wins more games Kansas State or
BYU Probably Kansas State, Yes, Yu,

687
00:44:58.519 --> 00:45:01.039
I think that one. I'd listen
to that one. I don't know

688
00:45:01.079 --> 00:45:04.719
how good. I don't know how
what good really means. I know this

689
00:45:04.760 --> 00:45:09.400
them's good. Number eighteen Baylor seventy
five, Oklahoma State seventy in overtime.

690
00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:15.480
Landon, we talked about how some
of the maybe Kansas was the favorite that

691
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:19.639
was in the most danger. It
probably was actually Baylor. I know a

692
00:45:19.639 --> 00:45:23.559
couple favorites lost, but Bears avoid
a disaster against a really bad Oklahoma State

693
00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:28.480
team by a very slim margin.
Yeah. The Cowboys, who I don't

694
00:45:28.480 --> 00:45:30.440
think any of us think very highly
of. They led this game by four

695
00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:34.400
with two minutes left, they gave
up a four point play and blew it

696
00:45:34.440 --> 00:45:37.039
for good with a minute left to
overtime. Ray J. Dennis, who

697
00:45:37.079 --> 00:45:40.320
converted that play, led the Bears
with eighteen points. Baylor was a very

698
00:45:40.400 --> 00:45:47.119
Kansas against VCU two of fifteen three. Oklahoma State is very Chiefs as a

699
00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:52.519
couple of weeks ago eight and six. Well, then Chiefs actually eight and

700
00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:58.719
six. That's horrible. Maybe I
think they might have been or they nine

701
00:45:58.719 --> 00:46:00.880
to five and then we got the
six. I don't know. Yeah,

702
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:05.039
I think I think Baylor is really
good. I think winning this was in

703
00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:07.760
still Water, correct, Yep,
Yeah, winning down there as hard as

704
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:12.760
Jayhawk fans know. But yeah,
I mean Baylor, they get a they

705
00:46:12.760 --> 00:46:15.000
get a close win in overtime.
I still think Baylor's really good. But

706
00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:16.960
we'll see kind of a warning sign
here, warning shot, I should say.

707
00:46:17.480 --> 00:46:22.719
Well, the biggest favorite that went
down was Cincinnati seventy one, number

708
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:28.239
twelve BYU sixty. Nick, tell
me about Yeah, I see you've already

709
00:46:28.239 --> 00:46:31.039
discovered some of the booby traps in
here. Get your Utah jokes in now,

710
00:46:31.079 --> 00:46:35.679
sir, go ahead and tell me
all about this upset loss for the

711
00:46:35.719 --> 00:46:37.800
Cougars. Yeah. The Cougars,
who are top five team in a net,

712
00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:40.800
led throughout the first half, but
they scored just nine points over the

713
00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:45.480
last twelve minutes to lose their Big
twelve debut as a ten point favorite.

714
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:49.480
But Kim Palm said there were six
in the metrics. I don't know how

715
00:46:49.519 --> 00:46:53.320
that happened. I wrote that this
morning that they're a top five team in

716
00:46:53.320 --> 00:46:58.480
the NET, and I said were
a top five team. They still freaking

717
00:46:58.760 --> 00:47:04.599
are They're still fourth in the NET. I don't get it. Thirteen threes

718
00:47:04.639 --> 00:47:07.000
and still shot just twenty eight percent
from deep. They took forty six threes.

719
00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:12.880
In eighteen two's Cincinnati got seventeen points
from a Russian white sinner named Victor

720
00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:19.599
Lakkin. Do you think he no, no, no, no, I

721
00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:23.000
no, I don't believe you think
he likes American food? Yeah, I

722
00:47:23.039 --> 00:47:27.159
think he probably does. He's going
to school in Cincinnati, so sure he

723
00:47:27.239 --> 00:47:30.360
likes Chili. He's trying that Skyline
Chili. It's awful. Probably wants them

724
00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:37.360
go back to Russian. I think
that the Chilean I think Chili in general

725
00:47:37.400 --> 00:47:40.280
is a war crime of itself.
But yes, good take, good take.

726
00:47:40.719 --> 00:47:45.559
Lana's not gonna like that. Yeah, good take mostly has a beard.

727
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:50.880
Okay, but my dad's chili is
s tier beans are just so mid

728
00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:55.880
beans. Beans are mid landon has
a beard, and bearded men love chili

729
00:47:55.920 --> 00:48:02.960
one hundred out of one hundreds.
So BYU, guys. BYU's best win

730
00:48:04.079 --> 00:48:07.920
is North Carolina State, who is
undefeated in ACC play, but they're not

731
00:48:07.039 --> 00:48:10.679
ranked. Arizona State is their second
best win. I guess they did beat

732
00:48:10.760 --> 00:48:14.760
San Diego State by a few points
at home, but this is not an

733
00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:17.480
impressive resume in the slightest. They
are ranked what they are in the net

734
00:48:17.519 --> 00:48:23.199
because they beat Bellermine by fifty points
and they beat Wyoming by forty and they

735
00:48:23.239 --> 00:48:28.639
beat Evansville by forty one. Like, let's not act like they're not getting

736
00:48:28.639 --> 00:48:32.280
the same treatment that Houston and Iowa
State are beat up on a bunch of

737
00:48:32.280 --> 00:48:37.639
lousy quad four teams, and your
muscles look really good when you're flexing after

738
00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:40.239
beating a twelve year old than one
on one. But they're gonna have to

739
00:48:40.239 --> 00:48:44.760
play better teams. And Cincinnati isn't
by any stretch thought to be one of

740
00:48:44.760 --> 00:48:47.119
the powerhouses of the Big twelve,
and they took them to school in the

741
00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:51.800
second half, so you know,
we'll see as Landa and Neck talked about

742
00:48:51.880 --> 00:48:54.599
much more important things. Yes,
by the way, Texas Tech seventy eight,

743
00:48:54.719 --> 00:49:00.280
number twenty, Texas sixty seven.
Boy, hold on, guys getting

744
00:49:00.280 --> 00:49:06.480
a phone call it says fraud potentially. Oh wow, it's Texas and Rodney

745
00:49:06.559 --> 00:49:10.760
Terry. Do you believe that we
have gotten so many things wrong on this

746
00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:15.840
podcast over the years, But all
of us were one hundred percent dead on

747
00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:22.039
about Rodney Terry because Texas is a
big fat fraud. Yeah, that seems

748
00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:27.199
one hundred percent right. They do
not look good. They they don't deserve

749
00:49:27.239 --> 00:49:30.679
to be ranked, not even close
at this point. Their best win is

750
00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:34.679
an LSU team that is eight and
five right now. This is not a

751
00:49:34.719 --> 00:49:38.320
top twenty five basketball team. They're
not well coached. The coaching didn't elevate

752
00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:43.000
them last year, just prevented them
from falling through the floor. And now

753
00:49:43.159 --> 00:49:45.840
they're committed to a coach wherever.
They could have thrown a lot of resources

754
00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:49.440
at anybody else. And to be
honest, they will when they get tired

755
00:49:49.480 --> 00:49:52.119
of Rodney Terry. But what a
weird hire that just never made sense.

756
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:58.960
This team is worse, a lot
worse. Yeah, I don't know if

757
00:49:58.960 --> 00:50:00.360
it makes any sense, but this
is it kind of does though, because

758
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:07.159
it's the most Texas thing, Like, it's still Texas Texas under everybody is

759
00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:13.280
a very talented team that recruits at
a really high level but just cannot win

760
00:50:13.559 --> 00:50:17.320
very many games very impressively. Yes, and it's always been that way,

761
00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:21.159
and it works that way in football
too, I guess, because how'd the

762
00:50:21.159 --> 00:50:23.320
playoff go until this year? They're
actually they were pretty good and they lost

763
00:50:23.320 --> 00:50:29.119
to another pretty good team. But
yes, Pop Isaac's had twenty one points.

764
00:50:29.159 --> 00:50:31.840
I think he's being investigated for something, isn't he. Yeah, there's

765
00:50:31.840 --> 00:50:37.280
something going on there. The Red
Raiders controlled the second half. Texas got

766
00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:40.400
twenty from tyree'se Hunter. But that's
it's so much worse than that. Sexually

767
00:50:40.440 --> 00:50:50.280
assaulting a minor accused of why oh
man, why is he playing? How

768
00:50:50.320 --> 00:50:53.079
are you allowed to play with that? Well, as of right now,

769
00:50:53.079 --> 00:50:57.960
it's an accusation, it's a civil
lawsuit that has been fun. Yeah,

770
00:50:57.960 --> 00:51:01.559
meant you gotta sit that guy.
You think it was it was late less

771
00:51:01.559 --> 00:51:05.880
Okay, No, okay, okay, I read in the Bahamas. It

772
00:51:05.920 --> 00:51:09.960
was last year in the Bahamas.
Yeah, the girl was seventeen. Why

773
00:51:10.199 --> 00:51:15.239
what are we doing? Man?
What are we doing? Bro? Good

774
00:51:15.320 --> 00:51:19.480
question? You could ask that about
just about anything in life, but don't.

775
00:51:19.599 --> 00:51:22.760
Upon learning of the allegations, the
matter was immediately unproperly reported to the

776
00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:27.199
university's time. It gets worse.
I never said that statement a Texas Tech

777
00:51:27.280 --> 00:51:30.119
booster, but alcoholic drinks for Isaac's
and a teammate. They were in your

778
00:51:30.159 --> 00:51:34.719
room with two girls ages seventeen and
sixteen. Awesome. Awesome, Yeah that

779
00:51:34.760 --> 00:51:37.559
seems and you know what the you
know what the eight is gonna say whenever

780
00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:43.320
he's asked about it by surprise,
Yeah, yeah, it's not our fault.

781
00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:47.800
Yeah, surprise. He's playing big. Texas got the best type of

782
00:51:47.840 --> 00:51:52.320
people. I'm telling you. It's
just a line of them, big twelve

783
00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:57.320
standing speed. This is all in
a line number one. We got a

784
00:51:57.519 --> 00:52:02.239
seven way tie Kansas, Kansas State. I couldn't guess the should have been

785
00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:07.960
a tie in there or something.
I thought somebody was gonna make a seven

786
00:52:07.039 --> 00:52:09.880
way joke, which sounds a little
intimidating for my liking, But you know

787
00:52:10.599 --> 00:52:15.039
not, after what we just discussed. I think it's just that's true.

788
00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:20.719
That's true. Oh no, I
won't go there. In a seven way

789
00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:23.519
tie in basketball terms is Kansas,
Kansas State, Baylor, Oklahoma, Cincinnati,

790
00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:30.159
Zexons at Tech in Houston. They're
all one and oh and tied for

791
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:32.920
eighth tc U U, c F
O, s U I, s U

792
00:52:34.039 --> 00:52:40.639
B, y U U T and
wv U and in fourteenth place at least

793
00:52:40.679 --> 00:52:45.480
should be in fourteenth places, which
West Virginia they should just be here.

794
00:52:45.480 --> 00:52:52.239
We go right there there you go. Yeah, we that those other teams

795
00:52:52.320 --> 00:52:54.199
land in river eight through thirteen.
We'll just go ahead and throw West Virginia

796
00:52:54.199 --> 00:52:59.320
in the basement there where they belong
other games. You know who else belongs

797
00:52:59.360 --> 00:53:04.239
in the basement. Gigantic fraud number
twenty two Old Miss. If ole Miss

798
00:53:04.239 --> 00:53:07.519
and Backs displayed each other, it
would just explode. And yeah, the

799
00:53:07.559 --> 00:53:10.039
Chris Beard Bowl of being filled with
fraud, I know that's shocking. Ole

800
00:53:10.079 --> 00:53:14.519
Miss entered undefeated against the schedule,
so bad that Kelvin Sampson would say,

801
00:53:14.519 --> 00:53:17.519
I'm underwhelmed looking at it. And
they got absolutely exposed in a huge way

802
00:53:17.559 --> 00:53:22.039
at the hands of number five Tennessee
the volunteers Clauberd Chris Beard's rebels. What

803
00:53:22.119 --> 00:53:28.280
a statement ninety to sixty four,
also number six Kentucky. They erased an

804
00:53:28.280 --> 00:53:31.199
eleven point deficit by coming back to
beat Florida in Gainesville eighty seven eighty five.

805
00:53:31.480 --> 00:53:37.119
Antonio Reeves gave them nineteen points.
Their seven foot center Bradshaw Aaron Bradshaw

806
00:53:37.440 --> 00:53:39.920
had had a block and a go
ahead three in the final minute, so

807
00:53:40.039 --> 00:53:44.840
they might be figuring out their problems
too. Who is your pick to win

808
00:53:44.960 --> 00:53:47.280
the conference? Of No, that's
the PAC twelve. Who is your pick

809
00:53:47.360 --> 00:53:52.199
to win? It just means more? Uh? Nick? Do you agree

810
00:53:52.239 --> 00:53:55.880
that Auburn, Kentucky, and Tennessee
seem to be the best three teams and

811
00:53:55.920 --> 00:54:00.079
then at tay Kentucky's probably gonna win
it? I agree? Uh? I

812
00:54:00.119 --> 00:54:02.880
think you guys are sleeping on Tennessee. A bet Rick Barnes can win a

813
00:54:02.880 --> 00:54:07.920
lot of regular season games. He
is the Bob Stoops of college basketball.

814
00:54:07.320 --> 00:54:10.639
But Kentucky has the most talent we'll
see. Tennessee is a one seed right

815
00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:14.400
now. By the way, if
the tournament's today, like their resume is

816
00:54:14.519 --> 00:54:17.639
loaded. They only have losses.
The team's currently ranked in the top seven.

817
00:54:20.039 --> 00:54:23.360
Yeah, they're a really solid team, but I think Kentucky's probably the

818
00:54:23.360 --> 00:54:27.639
favorite. I agree not you're Oh, I guess I shouldn't read two things.

819
00:54:27.679 --> 00:54:30.800
Go for it, somebody take this. Not your pick to win the

820
00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:35.400
SEC is Arkansas. They lost by
thirty two at home to a good number

821
00:54:35.400 --> 00:54:38.800
twenty five Auburn team eighty three to
fifty one. The second half score is

822
00:54:38.840 --> 00:54:43.480
forty six to twenty one on its
own. If this game had instead been

823
00:54:43.519 --> 00:54:46.519
against Kansas, not Arkansas, but
just normal Kansas, why would the Razorbacks

824
00:54:46.519 --> 00:54:51.679
have managed to score ninety six instead
of fifty one because theas seventy three to

825
00:54:51.719 --> 00:54:54.719
seventy two. Yeah, I don't
know score out there, Eric Musselman and

826
00:54:54.760 --> 00:55:00.840
his nipples. And it wouldn't even
matter if it was men's basketball or football

827
00:55:01.000 --> 00:55:05.320
or I guess they did win the
women's basketball game in the NIT at Allen

828
00:55:05.400 --> 00:55:07.719
Field House. That's you ever wonder
what would it look like if Kansas got

829
00:55:07.760 --> 00:55:10.920
to play a championship game at Allen
Field House. Well you saw it,

830
00:55:10.960 --> 00:55:17.480
and shockingly they won and Stripes.
The high strant team to lose on once

831
00:55:17.559 --> 00:55:21.679
this week was once again number seven
Marquette, who lost their fourth game of

832
00:55:21.679 --> 00:55:23.719
the year already, this time at
Seaton Hall, seventy eight to seventy five.

833
00:55:24.039 --> 00:55:27.360
The Golden Eagles are just two in
and two in Big East play.

834
00:55:27.400 --> 00:55:30.639
On a scale of one to ten, I can't believe you keep getting these

835
00:55:30.719 --> 00:55:37.800
landmines. The actual so the actual
statement that I wrote there says, on

836
00:55:37.840 --> 00:55:42.639
a scale of one to ten,
how big of a bitch is Shaka smart?

837
00:55:42.639 --> 00:55:46.880
And the answer is obviously a sixty
five because in addition to playing defense,

838
00:55:47.119 --> 00:55:53.840
he's also a major and he is. That's I'm not a huge fan

839
00:55:53.880 --> 00:55:59.559
of Shaka, but I don't know
if I'd go that far. You guys

840
00:55:59.559 --> 00:56:01.639
are You guys are much much,
much, much much nicer to Shotga than

841
00:56:01.679 --> 00:56:05.920
I will be. He is a
dweeb and a geek and all of those

842
00:56:05.960 --> 00:56:08.679
things, and he deserves els.
Oh it's my turn, isn't it.

843
00:56:09.000 --> 00:56:14.039
Rounding into form is number eight North
Carolina. At least until their coach boobs

844
00:56:14.039 --> 00:56:16.519
it up in March, they look
like the favorite in the ACC after taking

845
00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:22.559
down number sixteen Clemson on the road
sixty five to fifty five. Armando Baycot

846
00:56:22.639 --> 00:56:28.119
had fourteen points and sixteen rebounds for
the tar Heels, who handed Clemson their

847
00:56:28.159 --> 00:56:31.800
third straight loss. If you take
out games against Queens and Radford, so

848
00:56:31.960 --> 00:56:37.280
basically they've lost the last three good
teams they've played. Also, despite being

849
00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:42.840
a huge favorite. Number fourteen Duke
narrowly survived a ghastly awful Notre Dame team

850
00:56:42.880 --> 00:56:45.119
in South Bend, but it was
a one score game with two minutes left.

851
00:56:45.320 --> 00:56:52.119
Who wins the ACC you and c
Yeah, I didn't say that a

852
00:56:52.119 --> 00:56:54.960
week ago, but I'm starting to
become more convinced. That's a really impressive

853
00:56:55.000 --> 00:56:58.159
win for them. I think they're
the best team. I don't know if

854
00:56:58.159 --> 00:57:00.199
they'll get there. Either way,
I can make fun of Duke or North

855
00:57:00.199 --> 00:57:04.679
Carolina's coaches for not taking them to
what it should have been championship. I

856
00:57:04.679 --> 00:57:07.800
guess I win either way. It
was not a good day for mid majors

857
00:57:07.880 --> 00:57:15.239
not named Gonzaga, as the previously
undefeated Number nineteen James Madison lost at Southern

858
00:57:15.239 --> 00:57:20.039
mist to fall to fourteen and one
Colorado State. Number thirteen Colorado State lost

859
00:57:20.079 --> 00:57:23.199
by five at Utah State. Also
number seventeen Florida Atlantics, a weird season

860
00:57:23.239 --> 00:57:28.760
continues with a seventy to sixty eight
loss to Charlotte. Four losses for the

861
00:57:28.760 --> 00:57:32.840
Owls already. Three of those are
against Bryant, Florida Gulf Coast and Charlotte.

862
00:57:34.280 --> 00:57:37.199
So I have no idea what to
make of any of those teams.

863
00:57:37.320 --> 00:57:42.039
I'm kind of thinking Florida Atlantic's not
that good. Florida Atlantic's resume is gonna

864
00:57:42.079 --> 00:57:45.559
get them like a seven or an
eight seed, and they're gonna be terrifying.

865
00:57:45.719 --> 00:57:50.000
Yeah, not necessarily that i'd want
to play them, But I don't

866
00:57:50.039 --> 00:57:52.159
think they're as good as people thought
they were going to be coming into the

867
00:57:52.239 --> 00:57:55.000
year. No, it's hard.
Like we see that right UCLA a couple

868
00:57:55.039 --> 00:57:59.280
of years ago, Like there's always
a Final four team that brings everybody back,

869
00:57:59.320 --> 00:58:02.119
and everybody just annoints to them a
preseason top five team and doesn't work

870
00:58:02.159 --> 00:58:05.599
that way. It goes to show
there's a lot of variable luck in the

871
00:58:05.679 --> 00:58:10.039
NCAA tournament. Shocking Nick telling me
about Gonzaga, so O, Ryan Camp,

872
00:58:10.440 --> 00:58:13.880
in case you were worried about number
twenty four Gnzega falling out of the

873
00:58:13.920 --> 00:58:16.519
top twenty five and leaves in their
long streak. They squashed Pepperdine in San

874
00:58:16.559 --> 00:58:21.119
Diego by a combined fifty three points
this week to start two to zero in

875
00:58:21.199 --> 00:58:27.400
league play. Hey saw that one
coming to Lease Well caps that one for

876
00:58:28.960 --> 00:58:35.840
Coe's absolute rotting pieces of ass that
get to play this stupid freaking schedule,

877
00:58:36.119 --> 00:58:39.960
and they're gonna roll and keep their
AP streak and keep their conference streak,

878
00:58:40.440 --> 00:58:46.199
and it means nothing. I have
found nineteen ninety two Lincoln pennies in my

879
00:58:46.280 --> 00:58:51.840
jeans pocket that are worth more than
these WCC titles that they get every year.

880
00:58:52.440 --> 00:58:58.559
Horrendous, horrendous Gonzaga, Why do
they play in this conference? It

881
00:58:58.559 --> 00:59:02.800
doesn't amount to anything. Yeah,
in the age of realignment and TV money,

882
00:59:02.920 --> 00:59:06.800
you'd think that Gonzaga basketball would at
least try to get in on like

883
00:59:06.800 --> 00:59:08.880
a tiny bit of that somewhere,
right, And I think they're kind of

884
00:59:08.920 --> 00:59:13.079
trying, aren't they. They just
they can't because they don't have a football

885
00:59:13.119 --> 00:59:15.800
team. Maybe, Hey, here's
an idea, rally the troops with like

886
00:59:15.920 --> 00:59:22.679
San Diego State and the PAC two
and try to go form some kind of

887
00:59:22.760 --> 00:59:24.719
league out there that at least be
better than this. Yeah. I always

888
00:59:24.760 --> 00:59:28.599
thought Gonzaga should be in the PAC
twelve, And that would have only been

889
00:59:28.599 --> 00:59:30.639
good for a couple of years,
because now that league's falling apart. Speaking

890
00:59:30.639 --> 00:59:35.599
of, the PAC twelve is led
by Oregon and Arizona State. They're both

891
00:59:35.639 --> 00:59:38.400
four and oh number ten Arizona is
the only ranked team in the league.

892
00:59:38.559 --> 00:59:42.519
They beat you tatas day one game
back. But the biggest story from this

893
00:59:42.639 --> 00:59:47.679
conference is four and ten California going
into poly Pavilion and beating UCLA by nine.

894
00:59:49.119 --> 00:59:52.639
I'm sorry, what here are Col's
wins this year? Cal is five

895
00:59:52.760 --> 00:59:59.360
and ten. Now they have beaten
Saint Thomas of Minnesota by five, cal

896
00:59:59.480 --> 01:00:06.840
State, Bakersfield, Gonzaga opponent Santa
Clara. You see San Diego and Ucla.

897
01:00:07.079 --> 01:00:13.960
Find me the one that doesn't belongh
Yeah, that's that's bad and atrocious

898
01:00:13.960 --> 01:00:17.039
if you're UCLA, Yes, horrible, no tournament for them. That's my

899
01:00:17.079 --> 01:00:21.679
turn now. Also, Ucla is
Gonzaga's second best win, not joking,

900
01:00:22.360 --> 01:00:25.159
that's true. Number twenty one Wisconsin
scored eighty eight points in a regulation over

901
01:00:25.239 --> 01:00:29.599
nebrasket Ball, which has to be
a new record. They're the only undefeated

902
01:00:29.599 --> 01:00:31.679
team in the Big Ten. On
Friday Night, Number one Producer Vive,

903
01:00:31.800 --> 01:00:37.079
Number nine Illinois and entertaining eighty three
to seventy eight game the Fighting Line I

904
01:00:37.119 --> 01:00:40.519
held Zach Edie to just ten points, but not having Terrett Shannon Junior was

905
01:00:40.679 --> 01:00:45.239
too much to overcome for. You
can just count as should just count as

906
01:00:45.239 --> 01:00:50.800
a win they give Okay, we're
gonna talk at the same time. I'm

907
01:00:50.800 --> 01:00:52.920
sorry, sorry, I cut you
off. Go for it speaking of too

908
01:00:52.920 --> 01:00:55.119
big to overcome Louisville. But go
ahead, Ryan, What are you going

909
01:00:55.199 --> 01:01:00.199
to say? Was all I was? All I was gonna say was we

910
01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:04.320
should just go ahead and give Illinois
a win. Purdue can have theirs two,

911
01:01:04.480 --> 01:01:07.679
but Illinois should get one for holding
zach eety to just ten points.

912
01:01:07.679 --> 01:01:12.039
That's pretty good. Louisville has only
won one since November twenty ninth, and

913
01:01:12.119 --> 01:01:17.760
it was against Gonzaga competition Pepperdine.
Pepperdine by twenty two. They are oh

914
01:01:17.840 --> 01:01:22.039
to six, and that time frame
otherwise owen three in league play with a

915
01:01:22.039 --> 01:01:28.239
point differential of minus fifty six.
If Gonzaga beats Pepperdine by less than twenty

916
01:01:28.239 --> 01:01:32.079
two, it should be counted as
an l Yes, undred percent, Like

917
01:01:32.280 --> 01:01:38.000
it is pretty hilarious. How the
answer they're all like bad trivia questions.

918
01:01:38.280 --> 01:01:44.800
It's always a Gonzaga opponent, is
the answer. Oh, look they're showing

919
01:01:44.880 --> 01:01:46.800
on the TV. It's not even
the worst league in the country. It

920
01:01:46.880 --> 01:01:52.280
really truly is not like the MIAC
and the Swack exist, and those are

921
01:01:52.480 --> 01:01:54.840
like miles worse than the West Coast
Conference. Yet this is still the case.

922
01:01:55.440 --> 01:01:59.599
Yes, and they're showing on TV. Josh Allen clearly putting his hand

923
01:01:59.599 --> 01:02:02.320
out about and says, the refs
is rolling roll that clock. In case

924
01:02:02.360 --> 01:02:07.679
you're wondering if refs have gotten any
better since the last time that you watched

925
01:02:07.719 --> 01:02:09.280
sports, they haven't gotten any better. And now they lost to have money

926
01:02:09.320 --> 01:02:15.440
on the game. So yes,
they're so frustrating all of them. Ranked

927
01:02:15.480 --> 01:02:19.119
teams to lose since the last show. A lot of teams here. Number

928
01:02:19.159 --> 01:02:23.159
seven Marquette lost the Seaton Hall,
and we're not Illinois lost Purdue. Number

929
01:02:23.159 --> 01:02:27.719
twelve b Uyu lost to Cincinnati,
but they didn't lose in the women department,

930
01:02:27.800 --> 01:02:37.039
that's for sure. Number sixteen Clemson
lost to UNC. Number seventeen Florida

931
01:02:37.039 --> 01:02:43.800
Atlantic lost to Charlotte. Number nineteen. James Madison, somehow is still alive,

932
01:02:43.960 --> 01:02:47.760
lost the Southern Mississippi. Wasn't he
part of the South? I was

933
01:02:47.800 --> 01:02:53.880
gonna say, I thought James Madison. I thought James Madison died of chronics

934
01:02:54.239 --> 01:02:59.960
and oh wow, this is horrible. James Madison died a very bad death,

935
01:03:00.559 --> 01:03:06.320
it says according to the James Madison
Library website, he was confied to

936
01:03:06.400 --> 01:03:12.039
his room for chronic and severe attacks
from liver dysfunction. So I always thought

937
01:03:12.079 --> 01:03:15.719
that that, but that's actually fake
news because what actually killed James Madison was

938
01:03:15.760 --> 01:03:20.719
the University of Southern Mississippi. Number
twenty Texas lost to Texas Tech, got

939
01:03:20.719 --> 01:03:23.679
it, but also enjoy did not
lose in the women department. Yes,

940
01:03:23.760 --> 01:03:28.480
but enjoy hearing Texas's name there because
you ain't hearing him the rest of the

941
01:03:28.519 --> 01:03:31.719
year on that segment. Because this
is where ranked teams go. Num.

942
01:03:32.280 --> 01:03:37.039
Number twenty two Ole Miss lost to
Tennessee and number twenty three Providence lost to

943
01:03:37.119 --> 01:03:45.159
Creighton. That something really frickin bonkers
just happened in the football game. Sorry,

944
01:03:45.159 --> 01:03:49.519
I'm trying to figure out what happened
as the refs, the refs are

945
01:03:49.559 --> 01:03:53.960
all trying to sort it out,
as both teams are pointing point I.

946
01:03:54.239 --> 01:03:59.239
I brought the message to the masses
that the refs of ben Bad always are

947
01:03:59.280 --> 01:04:01.480
bad and then never going to be
good. And Ryan has taken that and

948
01:04:01.599 --> 01:04:06.360
ran for about twenty miles into the
distance that literally nobody knows what's happening.

949
01:04:06.440 --> 01:04:10.239
I don't think it is a first, doun I think it's going the other

950
01:04:10.239 --> 01:04:13.719
way. Nobody knows, and the
raser is looking at you are like,

951
01:04:13.760 --> 01:04:15.239
oh crap. This is our job, isn't it. We're supposed to figure

952
01:04:15.280 --> 01:04:18.880
this out. Yeah, lot,
Something that Landon did figure out is winning

953
01:04:18.880 --> 01:04:21.159
and pick them. Congrats or you
had a good week in pick up the

954
01:04:21.199 --> 01:04:25.679
deficit, Yeah, the deficit is
down. After you went ten and two

955
01:04:25.760 --> 01:04:29.440
and Nick and I went eight and
four, the deficit is down. It's

956
01:04:29.480 --> 01:04:32.800
gotten smaller. Congratulations, Hey by
two games. Let's go all right,

957
01:04:32.800 --> 01:04:39.599
I'm blowing the airhorn now and then
we're gonna do ask RCB. All right,

958
01:04:39.639 --> 01:04:42.000
So you guys did a good job
with the questions. Whenever there's twenty

959
01:04:42.079 --> 01:04:44.119
questions, it's a lot. Whenever
there's three, there's not enough. But

960
01:04:44.159 --> 01:04:46.280
we have nine today that's pretty good. And one of them is not about

961
01:04:46.920 --> 01:04:50.119
beautiful women with tattoos. Nick,
I gave you a week off while I

962
01:04:50.199 --> 01:04:55.159
reset tough scene for Landon and not
get to think about that for a couple

963
01:04:55.159 --> 01:04:59.360
more days. At J two Wills, what does our roster look like this

964
01:04:59.480 --> 01:05:03.320
year if Grady Dick had come back
to school? Oh, I love hypothetics.

965
01:05:04.000 --> 01:05:09.800
I okay, is everybody still here. You gotta think that Artario Morris

966
01:05:09.920 --> 01:05:14.719
or Nick Timberlake doesn't transfer here.
Probably Timberlake. Well, Artaria Morris is

967
01:05:14.800 --> 01:05:18.760
not here anyway, so I think
Timberlake doesn't come here, And oh too

968
01:05:18.800 --> 01:05:23.960
bad. I'm so say gotta say, that's that's a big l That's that's

969
01:05:24.039 --> 01:05:28.119
terrible Grady Dick. They could have
had Grady Dick and instead they just had

970
01:05:28.559 --> 01:05:31.159
I actually think the timeline wise,
it's maybe more likely that Johnny Furfey doesn't

971
01:05:31.199 --> 01:05:35.800
come. Yeah, that's also true. Or Furfey is just essentially almost red

972
01:05:35.800 --> 01:05:39.760
shirting this year. Yeah, that
could be the case as well. But

973
01:05:39.880 --> 01:05:43.679
nonetheless, I think that would be
an incredible piece. Yes, that's the

974
01:05:43.719 --> 01:05:45.360
piece they need, right, They
need a shooter. That's that's it.

975
01:05:45.519 --> 01:05:49.440
Grady Dick would be shooting forty on
threes. He did last year. That's

976
01:05:49.440 --> 01:05:51.920
what Timberlake did for two years at
thousand. By the way, looking for

977
01:05:51.960 --> 01:05:58.719
that to start here at Dick underscore
Taser, who is currently the worst person

978
01:05:58.880 --> 01:06:01.000
in sports? I want you guys
to answer that before I give you the

979
01:06:01.039 --> 01:06:05.519
second half of what he said.
Does Dan Snyder count He's not in sports

980
01:06:05.519 --> 01:06:10.400
anymore? He died, He did
Nicky got anybody off the top of your

981
01:06:10.400 --> 01:06:13.800
head. No, he didn't die. I've got nick on that twice.

982
01:06:13.840 --> 01:06:15.480
I just be like they threw him
out. Well, I don't know if

983
01:06:15.519 --> 01:06:24.360
owners even count Chris Beard. Well, that's not a horrible answer. I

984
01:06:24.400 --> 01:06:28.960
was gonna say refs, but I
don't think refs count. Yeah, I'm

985
01:06:28.960 --> 01:06:31.800
gonna stick with Craft. He's in
sports enough to count. Wayne Kerr says,

986
01:06:31.960 --> 01:06:35.280
why is it Aaron Rogers? That
is exactly what Robert Kraft can be

987
01:06:35.280 --> 01:06:41.480
described as. He's the single weirdest
person. No, Aaron Rodgers are pretty

988
01:06:41.519 --> 01:06:45.480
lousy, Like he just keeps getting
worse. Tyry killed his shop to pass.

989
01:06:45.519 --> 01:06:48.840
Look like MVS on that play,
they have already called the pass interference

990
01:06:48.920 --> 01:06:51.679
and removed the ball on my screen. Sir, you're still waiting for that

991
01:06:51.719 --> 01:06:56.719
flag and land, and I don't
even know if the Bills have given second

992
01:06:56.880 --> 01:07:00.719
three. We're all over the blaze
and none of us are streaming either,

993
01:07:00.719 --> 01:07:05.440
which is amazing. Wayne, I'm
just making Wayne also says, if you

994
01:07:05.440 --> 01:07:10.199
were given the opportunity to take Rogers
out, but you have to go off

995
01:07:10.239 --> 01:07:13.440
yourself in the process. You guys
are doing that for the good of humanity,

996
01:07:13.519 --> 01:07:17.639
right, just making sure you guys
are selfless, good guys. No

997
01:07:17.679 --> 01:07:23.480
way I'm doing that. That's I
mean, I you think I'm beating Aaron

998
01:07:23.559 --> 01:07:27.320
Rodgers in any sort of physical fight. Well, I'm assuming you're getting a

999
01:07:27.320 --> 01:07:31.199
sniper rifle sometime, hey, and
or or a freak No, I almost

1000
01:07:31.239 --> 01:07:36.760
made a Ryan alone would blow you
in half. Ryan might get beat up

1001
01:07:36.760 --> 01:07:42.400
by a group of fifth grade girls. Hey, you know what, I

1002
01:07:42.400 --> 01:07:45.000
would. Don't be sexist, sir, I would also get beat up by

1003
01:07:45.000 --> 01:07:50.280
a group of fifth grade boys.
You'd get killed fifth grade boys. Yeah,

1004
01:07:50.320 --> 01:07:54.000
that's true. It wouldn't go good. I'll stay in my house,

1005
01:07:54.079 --> 01:07:58.159
all one hundred and eighteen pounds of
me here at boar shirts. Why does

1006
01:07:58.239 --> 01:08:01.079
hundred Dickinson do the opening tip when
he only seems to have a four inch

1007
01:08:01.239 --> 01:08:08.760
vertical How about kJ that's a that'd
be a wise idea, idea interesting?

1008
01:08:08.760 --> 01:08:15.800
Actually, I mean Hunter has five
inches on But that's the problem. Do

1009
01:08:15.880 --> 01:08:20.159
we know for sure that Hunter Dickinson
I know, yeah, I know,

1010
01:08:20.840 --> 01:08:27.800
I know, I know experienced this
game in real time. Now, you're

1011
01:08:27.800 --> 01:08:32.319
not gonna want to after after seeing
what what Tua turned the ball over just

1012
01:08:32.359 --> 01:08:36.560
did and Miami is coming to Arrowhead
next week. Folks. Yeah, I'm

1013
01:08:36.560 --> 01:08:43.199
actually I actually that's gonna be fun. That'sna be way more fun than Pittsburgh.

1014
01:08:43.399 --> 01:08:48.119
I I'd like wins, and then
the Chiefs are probably going on wins

1015
01:08:48.159 --> 01:08:53.960
exclusively. Well, we've seen a
lot of those, as Hunter Dickenson's h

1016
01:08:54.479 --> 01:08:58.319
if they both jumped and put their
like, tried to reach the tallest point

1017
01:08:58.359 --> 01:09:02.600
they could. U would und Nigginson
reach a taller point than kJ Adams.

1018
01:09:02.880 --> 01:09:09.439
That's probably not true. kJ probably
gets higher. Then then they should they

1019
01:09:09.479 --> 01:09:14.279
should do whoever that person is.
Yeah, we figured it out. Do

1020
01:09:14.319 --> 01:09:18.079
it Bill at Elliott Ruson h Furfee
is the best bench option. That's my

1021
01:09:18.199 --> 01:09:21.079
feeling. That's how it's going to
be. Nothing is going to change.

1022
01:09:21.159 --> 01:09:26.000
Do you agree? Yeah? I
do. Yeah, he's the sixth man.

1023
01:09:26.239 --> 01:09:29.079
I don't know what that says about
this being the sixth man, but

1024
01:09:29.399 --> 01:09:32.079
I definitely think he is the He
is the the sixth man on this team.

1025
01:09:32.720 --> 01:09:35.800
Also also says Nick, I'll send
you twenty dollars if you do not

1026
01:09:35.880 --> 01:09:40.800
groan when Ryan says it's time for
ASCARCB. I don't know if you groaned.

1027
01:09:41.039 --> 01:09:45.600
I didn't. I don't remember if
he did or not. Yeah,

1028
01:09:45.640 --> 01:09:48.319
that's true. You've groaned in ASCARCB. You didn't groan because of it.

1029
01:09:48.840 --> 01:09:54.079
You also didn't groan because I'm sparing
you a tattoo question today, couple from

1030
01:09:54.119 --> 01:09:58.399
at Preston skirtsik a lot of controversy
with yesterday's flagrant. So what are some

1031
01:09:58.439 --> 01:10:01.359
of the most memorable controversial calls you've
seen at home? Sphees travel comes to

1032
01:10:01.720 --> 01:10:06.920
But are there any others? Yeah, the walk Thomas Robinson's block. Some

1033
01:10:06.960 --> 01:10:14.359
people think that was a foul.
It was. I'm not saying anything on

1034
01:10:14.399 --> 01:10:18.600
that one. I'm trying to think
of who what other controversial calls we've seen?

1035
01:10:18.720 --> 01:10:23.640
What other ones have we seen?
I eject calls from my memory most

1036
01:10:23.680 --> 01:10:27.359
of the time unless they're like the
worst five calls I've ever seen. So

1037
01:10:27.760 --> 01:10:31.039
I don't remember any of these at
Allen Field House. There was a big

1038
01:10:31.039 --> 01:10:34.640
one at Ames a couple of years
ago or a few years back, when

1039
01:10:34.720 --> 01:10:41.439
Elijah Johnson didn't get called for a
charge, and that one was supremely controversial.

1040
01:10:41.760 --> 01:10:44.640
Not an arrowhead, but still none
the less or arrow, not an

1041
01:10:44.680 --> 01:10:48.279
Allen, not at Alan, but
still nonetheless a call. Good question on

1042
01:10:48.279 --> 01:10:50.560
that, I'm gonna have to think
about that because I love questions like that.

1043
01:10:51.279 --> 01:10:56.239
Also says was it reassuring to see
Timberlake do well in extended minutes yesterday?

1044
01:10:56.399 --> 01:10:59.279
He didn't score much, but he
did play hard and avoided having too

1045
01:10:59.359 --> 01:11:02.840
many mistakes he did was he bridged
the gap for him there when al Marco

1046
01:11:02.920 --> 01:11:05.119
was on the bench, And I'm
not sure you can say they were worse

1047
01:11:05.159 --> 01:11:10.399
with el Marco on the bench.
Yeah. I think Timberlake put in like

1048
01:11:10.439 --> 01:11:15.319
a solid shift. But he still
can't shoot the ball, which is puzzling

1049
01:11:15.319 --> 01:11:17.960
because I thought that'd be one of
the things he could do at Stefan Timmy

1050
01:11:18.000 --> 01:11:23.520
seventeen. Is this the softest Kansas
gets all the calls outcry by the other

1051
01:11:23.640 --> 01:11:27.600
eleven Big twelve fan bases in recent
history? Well, it's thirteen now,

1052
01:11:30.960 --> 01:11:34.720
thirteen teams now, but yes,
it's pretty bad. At least this fee

1053
01:11:34.760 --> 01:11:41.600
walk off had a legitimate gripe.
This one was by all measures a flay

1054
01:11:41.720 --> 01:11:46.079
grint. Yeah. I agree.
Two more here, one from at Cope

1055
01:11:46.079 --> 01:11:49.000
Fraud. I know l Marco is
our best defender out of the three options,

1056
01:11:49.000 --> 01:11:51.920
but the offense is somewhat smoother when
timber Laker Furfey is in the game

1057
01:11:53.119 --> 01:11:56.720
because you actually have to guard them
from three. If al Marco can't shoot,

1058
01:11:56.760 --> 01:11:59.920
doesn't it make more sense to play
more minutes of the two that can?

1059
01:12:00.640 --> 01:12:02.800
Interesting take? I have a thought
I want you guys thoughts first,

1060
01:12:03.359 --> 01:12:08.640
Nick, Sorry, what was the
question? Oh, for God's sake,

1061
01:12:08.920 --> 01:12:12.800
Basically, the offense runs smoother with
for Fee or Timberlake because they can actually

1062
01:12:12.800 --> 01:12:15.920
shoot. Therefore you have to defend
them rather than with Jackson out there.

1063
01:12:15.960 --> 01:12:21.279
Therefore, shouldn't they play more?
Yeah? Sure? My answer on this

1064
01:12:21.479 --> 01:12:26.640
is ten twenty on Sunday night,
and I have worked tomorrow. So my

1065
01:12:26.800 --> 01:12:30.880
answer on this is I go back
to what we talked about with Uh.

1066
01:12:30.920 --> 01:12:35.000
Whenever you're putting together your backyard basketball
team, you got a couple guys who

1067
01:12:35.039 --> 01:12:38.840
are really good at one thing,
so it means you got some more room

1068
01:12:38.920 --> 01:12:43.039
to give with others. There are
guys on this team that can play defense.

1069
01:12:43.640 --> 01:12:46.800
Elmarco being the best defender, he's
still like, at best, the

1070
01:12:46.840 --> 01:12:50.399
third or fourth best defender, even
with that being what he's best at.

1071
01:12:50.960 --> 01:12:55.800
Yes, I would rather have guys
like Furfey or Timberlake. For what it's

1072
01:12:55.840 --> 01:12:59.439
worth, Timberlake hasn't been great shooting
the ball, but there's at least he's

1073
01:12:59.479 --> 01:13:02.680
guarded as as you pointed out here. Yes, I think that makes some

1074
01:13:02.760 --> 01:13:06.920
sense. You already have plenty of
defense on the floor whenever al Marco is

1075
01:13:06.960 --> 01:13:11.720
in the game or out of the
game, so I'm perfectly fine sacrificing his

1076
01:13:11.800 --> 01:13:15.199
defense for more offense Landon. Is
that fair? Yeah, I think that

1077
01:13:15.279 --> 01:13:18.880
is. I think regardless, the
two guys that have the highest ceilings should

1078
01:13:19.079 --> 01:13:25.279
are el Marco Jackson and Johnny Furfy, and I do think that should earn

1079
01:13:25.319 --> 01:13:28.600
them the most playing time, especially
when Nick Timberlake is really giving you like

1080
01:13:28.920 --> 01:13:32.319
max five points most of the time. And the final question for Matt ky

1081
01:13:32.399 --> 01:13:38.760
tweets the News it is a three
parter. Number one rang the refs of

1082
01:13:38.840 --> 01:13:45.399
all major sports you watch from worst
to least worst. The good way to

1083
01:13:45.399 --> 01:13:49.560
put that. I think the absolute
worst refs on Planet Earth or NFL refts.

1084
01:13:50.079 --> 01:14:00.640
Yep, they are just indescribably bad, inconsistent, bad favoritism, all

1085
01:14:00.720 --> 01:14:03.159
sorts of nonsense. They also have
the weirdest replay rules of the sports.

1086
01:14:04.000 --> 01:14:06.319
I agree with that. I think
they are the worst. I think college

1087
01:14:06.359 --> 01:14:10.960
basketball is second worst. I think
college football might be worse. In college

1088
01:14:11.000 --> 01:14:14.760
basketball, but that's too Yeah,
probably no. I think you actually are

1089
01:14:14.760 --> 01:14:16.760
pretty definitively right. Then again,
I don't watch a lot of like for

1090
01:14:16.880 --> 01:14:23.479
degenerates only level college basketball, and
I do watch some degenerates only college football.

1091
01:14:23.880 --> 01:14:28.520
Basketball is more or less easier to
ref than football. There's fewer rules,

1092
01:14:28.600 --> 01:14:31.680
there's fewer players, there's fewer things
that are happening away from the ball

1093
01:14:31.720 --> 01:14:35.800
that are impacting the play, whereas
in football you gotta keep it's a harder

1094
01:14:35.920 --> 01:14:41.479
job. But they call crap on
stuff that doesn't even come close to impacting

1095
01:14:41.520 --> 01:14:45.479
plays, And then they don't call
things when a guy gets his face mass

1096
01:14:45.560 --> 01:14:48.600
ripped around that clearly does impact the
play. In basketball, the bulk of

1097
01:14:48.640 --> 01:14:54.840
the calls seemingly are coming from moments
where it's right at the center of the

1098
01:14:54.880 --> 01:14:59.399
action. Most of the time,
example the flagrant yesterday, center of the

1099
01:14:59.439 --> 01:15:00.680
action. Whether you agree or not, at least the refs look at the

1100
01:15:00.760 --> 01:15:04.399
right thing. That's the way I
see it. I'd go one NFL worst,

1101
01:15:04.680 --> 01:15:11.039
two college or college football slightly better. Then I'd probably go, boy,

1102
01:15:11.199 --> 01:15:13.960
are we really gonna sit here and
say college basketball refs or better than

1103
01:15:14.039 --> 01:15:19.680
NBA refs. They're both awful.
I think I think NBA refs are better.

1104
01:15:19.760 --> 01:15:25.199
Though you're a soccer guy, soccer
refs also suck. They are.

1105
01:15:25.600 --> 01:15:29.760
Soccer is one of those that,
for the most part, is pretty easy

1106
01:15:29.800 --> 01:15:35.840
to ref because the only like set
rule mostly is like off sides or the

1107
01:15:35.880 --> 01:15:41.600
goalie being off his line for a
penalty shootout or a penalty kick. Otherwise

1108
01:15:41.640 --> 01:15:45.279
it's mostly just like, you know, the level of physicality on a tackle

1109
01:15:45.520 --> 01:15:50.239
or off a set piece or something. So I do think soccer refs are

1110
01:15:50.680 --> 01:15:57.760
not atrocious. However, they do
probably have the easiest gig and there's also

1111
01:15:57.760 --> 01:16:01.840
only one of them on the field. People are talking about. People are

1112
01:16:01.880 --> 01:16:05.359
talking about how the only reason the
NFL put the Chiefs playoff game on Peacock

1113
01:16:05.439 --> 01:16:12.199
is because Roger Goodell wants all the
Swifties to pay for Peacock. That's pretty

1114
01:16:12.199 --> 01:16:15.079
not the and it will happen.
Not the worst take, really not the

1115
01:16:15.119 --> 01:16:17.560
worst take. Two more from kg
tweets and news. Nobody seems to be

1116
01:16:17.560 --> 01:16:20.039
talking about Emmanuel Miller's flop that they
got two points out of. Yeah,

1117
01:16:20.079 --> 01:16:23.920
I talked about that. It was
bad, not as consequential, but still

1118
01:16:24.039 --> 01:16:27.760
it's They're always going to focus on
the big thing and which of the following,

1119
01:16:28.000 --> 01:16:30.720
And this is not a particularly pleasant
question, but here we are.

1120
01:16:30.960 --> 01:16:33.479
Which of the following would be the
biggest injury loss Dickinson, Harris or mccullor

1121
01:16:34.000 --> 01:16:40.520
Dickinson. Yes, yes, El
Marco could play the point and you take

1122
01:16:40.520 --> 01:16:43.159
a step back, but not a
huge step back if Harris steps out.

1123
01:16:43.399 --> 01:16:45.760
McCuller has been their best player this
year, so that would be a big

1124
01:16:45.800 --> 01:16:49.760
loss. But they are better prepared
to replace a wing than a center.

1125
01:16:50.000 --> 01:16:56.000
Losing Dickenson means starter Parker Brown.
It actually probably means kJ goes back to

1126
01:16:56.000 --> 01:16:59.640
the five, but that would be
a massive loss. Yeah, they have

1127
01:16:59.680 --> 01:17:03.399
no sihlistic replacement for Dickinson. At
least they could have someone that could approximate

1128
01:17:03.439 --> 01:17:08.079
the role of Kevin mccullar Dwan Harris, even if not as well. I

1129
01:17:08.079 --> 01:17:10.119
think that's a good way to put
it. If you ever have any ask

1130
01:17:10.159 --> 01:17:16.880
Garcaps, use the Twitter hashtag ask
RCB and ask questions about nick and tattooed

1131
01:17:16.920 --> 01:17:20.119
women because I want that to spread. That's fun, They're pretty funny.

1132
01:17:21.279 --> 01:17:29.239
Let's preview a game, road game
number two Kansas at Central Florida. This

1133
01:17:29.319 --> 01:17:32.359
is a conference game and it boy, does it feel weird Wednesday, January

1134
01:17:32.439 --> 01:17:38.520
tenth, at six o'clock PM.
While it's temperatures plunging here this week in

1135
01:17:38.560 --> 01:17:42.159
the Midwest, k you will be
enjoying sunny Orlando for at least a couple

1136
01:17:42.199 --> 01:17:45.760
of days. So you and two
the University of oh Hey, Nick,

1137
01:17:45.800 --> 01:17:47.880
go for it. Take it away, man. I guess I can the

1138
01:17:47.960 --> 01:17:54.079
University of Central Florida Knights Commuter School
enter at nine and four overall owen win

1139
01:17:54.119 --> 01:17:58.000
in the league play. Their best
win is probably Lipscum or South Dakota State

1140
01:17:58.319 --> 01:18:00.640
that they lost by sixteen to Miami
in twenty five to k State. Kim

1141
01:18:00.680 --> 01:18:03.720
Pum has them ranks just a few
spots lower than Indiana. That kind of

1142
01:18:03.720 --> 01:18:08.720
sounds absurd, but bet the Knight's
best player is six to four wing Jalen

1143
01:18:08.800 --> 01:18:11.960
Sellers, who averages eighteen points.
He played a ball state for two years

1144
01:18:11.960 --> 01:18:15.840
and shot forty five percent three but
this year he's shooting just twenty six percent

1145
01:18:15.840 --> 01:18:19.239
on almost six foot temps per game. It feels like another Travian Tennyson situation

1146
01:18:19.359 --> 01:18:24.079
could be on deck. The point
guard is Darius Johnson, as if anyone

1147
01:18:24.119 --> 01:18:30.680
knowed or cared, yes, tallest
player is center Ibrahima Diallo from Senegal.

1148
01:18:30.760 --> 01:18:34.319
He's seven feet tall and blocks more
than two shots per game. He averages

1149
01:18:34.359 --> 01:18:40.479
six and six. The fore man
of six to seven Marsillis Avery, who's

1150
01:18:40.479 --> 01:18:45.439
the team's best three point shooter and
adds eleven more points per night. So

1151
01:18:45.600 --> 01:18:47.920
here's the thing that I found out
about UCF. I was really struggling with

1152
01:18:47.960 --> 01:18:53.560
my TCU notes because their metrics were
great and their schedule wasn't very good.

1153
01:18:54.000 --> 01:18:59.439
UCF matches what they are. They're
a middle of the run team and a

1154
01:18:59.640 --> 01:19:04.079
middle of the in the middle of
the run metrics. Here, UCF is

1155
01:19:04.079 --> 01:19:09.319
an elite shot blocking team. They
force a lot of turnovers. They have

1156
01:19:09.520 --> 01:19:13.840
excellent size, and they have been
really good on the defensive end, but

1157
01:19:14.119 --> 01:19:17.039
their strength of schedules outside the top
two thirty nationally, and even then they

1158
01:19:17.319 --> 01:19:23.159
really haven't. They haven't beaten anybody
that good in their limited chances. They've

1159
01:19:23.159 --> 01:19:27.000
also been good on the offensive glass, which is mainly because they miss shots.

1160
01:19:27.520 --> 01:19:30.640
However, the weaknesses, and there's
lots of them, are all stemming

1161
01:19:30.680 --> 01:19:34.920
on the offensive side of the ball. They have a very porch. They

1162
01:19:35.000 --> 01:19:40.640
just threw a bunch of I don't
know. I think Nick just has a

1163
01:19:40.680 --> 01:19:46.720
seizure. What what why? Like, like, what are you doing now?

1164
01:19:46.920 --> 01:19:51.159
I'll try to figure this together here. Okay, they've also been good

1165
01:19:51.159 --> 01:19:56.960
on the offensive. They have a
very poor team shooting percentage. They barely

1166
01:19:56.960 --> 01:20:03.880
shoot thirty two from three and and
they barely shoot sixty eight percent from the

1167
01:20:03.920 --> 01:20:10.359
line. Seventy Kansas and Central Florida
have never played. Thank goodness, we're

1168
01:20:10.359 --> 01:20:15.600
out of this all right. So
my analysis here ESPN says Kansas has a

1169
01:20:15.640 --> 01:20:19.239
fifty one percent chance to win this
game. I suspect they'll be favored by

1170
01:20:19.279 --> 01:20:25.560
five is or So, what do
you think happens Jayhawks going on the road.

1171
01:20:26.720 --> 01:20:31.720
I think Kansas gets their lead up
to about thirty and then takes their

1172
01:20:31.720 --> 01:20:36.680
foot off the gas and wins by
about eighteen. Wow. Okay, so

1173
01:20:36.720 --> 01:20:43.000
I think they were just like seventy
eight to sixty. I think Kansas is

1174
01:20:43.000 --> 01:20:46.640
gonna win pretty handling. I say
eighty to sixty. I mean, in

1175
01:20:46.760 --> 01:20:50.159
a vacuum, they're a lot better
than this team. But like, I

1176
01:20:50.199 --> 01:20:55.079
don't know, they haven't like Indiana. I know that was a tougher atmosphere

1177
01:20:55.600 --> 01:20:59.640
that probably impacts things a little bit. UCF's gonna be sold out it's one

1178
01:20:59.640 --> 01:21:02.640
of the bigger home games in school
history, so we'll see. I can't

1179
01:21:02.640 --> 01:21:06.039
imagine that atmosphere is going to be
like Assembly Hall. And overall, Kansas

1180
01:21:06.079 --> 01:21:09.199
is a lot better than this team. We saw him not even put up

1181
01:21:09.239 --> 01:21:12.600
much of a fight against Kansas State. So I'm gonna go out and say

1182
01:21:12.680 --> 01:21:16.359
Kansas wins seventy eight to sixty four. But I really don't have an idea

1183
01:21:16.359 --> 01:21:19.039
of what I expect to happen in
this game. Well, we'll have to

1184
01:21:19.079 --> 01:21:21.720
see. If Kansas loses, though, it would be bad. This is

1185
01:21:21.760 --> 01:21:25.960
probably the worst team in the Big
Twelve, right, Yeah, it's this

1186
01:21:26.079 --> 01:21:30.159
or West Virginia. This would be
one of the two worst this and they

1187
01:21:30.199 --> 01:21:33.760
play both those teams on the road, which is not you know, there's

1188
01:21:33.800 --> 01:21:38.079
no gimmes in this conference at all, But this is the sort of game

1189
01:21:38.079 --> 01:21:41.359
that they should win. This is
we talk forever how there are no gimme

1190
01:21:41.479 --> 01:21:44.560
games in the Big Twelve, like
how Duke gets to go play Georgia Tech,

1191
01:21:44.960 --> 01:21:47.520
or how you know North Carolina gets
to play Louisville. Well, this

1192
01:21:47.600 --> 01:21:50.560
is as close to that as you're
gonna have in this conference. You gotta

1193
01:21:50.560 --> 01:21:56.800
win. Should be a stale atmosphere
and a really really inferior opponent. So

1194
01:21:57.199 --> 01:22:00.840
we'll see. Nick has just blown
up these predictions. So I get I

1195
01:22:00.880 --> 01:22:05.279
get what he's saying on mostly though
it's it's relatively easy to parse keyword most

1196
01:22:05.359 --> 01:22:10.119
We'll see how good we are this
whole time. Number three Houston at Iowa

1197
01:22:10.239 --> 01:22:14.399
State the Battle of the Metrics?
Do the Cougars remain the only unbeaten team

1198
01:22:14.479 --> 01:22:19.960
in the nation? Uh? Houston
wins? Yeah? Yeah, I'm also

1199
01:22:20.000 --> 01:22:26.479
gonna say Houston's winning this game.
Yeah, this is much more of I

1200
01:22:26.520 --> 01:22:30.520
don't think Iowa State's very good than
anything else, but yes, I think

1201
01:22:30.520 --> 01:22:36.399
they win. Kansas State at West
Virginia, give me the Mountain Mamas as

1202
01:22:36.520 --> 01:22:44.920
Nick has listened as tang at Meth
Virginia, give me the Wildcats. Yeah,

1203
01:22:45.279 --> 01:22:49.319
I'm gonna go Okay State. Unfortunately, Texas at Cincinnati. I will

1204
01:22:49.359 --> 01:22:53.359
go with the Longhorns here to bounce
back. This feels like you're oh to

1205
01:22:53.399 --> 01:22:56.079
one team that beats a one on
oh squad. I'm not a big fan,

1206
01:22:56.119 --> 01:23:01.439
but I think they win. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. Oklahoma

1207
01:23:01.479 --> 01:23:04.600
State at Texas Tech, who are
so boring that Nick hasn't even put any

1208
01:23:04.640 --> 01:23:10.319
sort of interesting facts about them.
I don't know. This feels like the

1209
01:23:10.359 --> 01:23:12.760
one that we're gonna get wrong.
I'll go with the Red Raiders. But

1210
01:23:12.920 --> 01:23:25.560
yeah, uh same, I guess
yeah jeez. Number twelve BYU at number

1211
01:23:25.640 --> 01:23:29.239
eighteen Baylor. These rankings will have
already changed by the time you listen to

1212
01:23:29.279 --> 01:23:31.279
this. We're recording on Sunday night. Baylor buy a lot. Yeah,

1213
01:23:31.359 --> 01:23:40.319
Baylor by fifteen plus yep. And
number eleven Oklahoma at TCU. I like

1214
01:23:40.399 --> 01:23:44.199
the Horny Frogs big, maybe not
big, but I do like TCU to

1215
01:23:44.239 --> 01:23:49.760
win. I'm gonna say Oklahoma interesting. Okay. I think TCU is too

1216
01:23:49.760 --> 01:23:54.439
good at start ze two, but
we'll see other games. Number fourteen Duke

1217
01:23:54.479 --> 01:23:57.239
has not been impressive. They take
on a pit Teaven to the top half

1218
01:23:57.319 --> 01:24:03.479
the acc standings. Who wins me? Pitt Duke, give Duke Walmar shot.

1219
01:24:03.520 --> 01:24:06.319
If they lose this, then I'm
really gonna get I'm really gonna lose

1220
01:24:06.319 --> 01:24:12.199
my patience. Number one, What
the hell? Uh for doing? Nebraska?

1221
01:24:12.600 --> 01:24:15.880
Okay? Uh? Wow? Why
are we picking that game? That's

1222
01:24:15.960 --> 01:24:23.760
terrible? Purdue a lot. I'm
gonna san Nebraska. Wow, I'm gonna

1223
01:24:23.760 --> 01:24:35.279
san Nebraska. I'm taking Purdue.
Number five Tennessee at Alabama. Who's okay?

1224
01:24:35.640 --> 01:24:41.359
That game? Okay? They just
played. Number five Tennessee at Mississippi

1225
01:24:41.399 --> 01:24:47.920
State. Give me the Fighting Barns. Yeah. Number eight North Carolina at

1226
01:24:48.000 --> 01:24:51.800
North Carolina State. I do not
trust Hubert Davis. I'll take the wolf

1227
01:24:51.840 --> 01:25:00.640
Pack. I think I agree here. Yeah, and I this one here.

1228
01:25:00.760 --> 01:25:03.600
Number twenty four Gonzaga at We don't
know, it's a conference game,

1229
01:25:03.800 --> 01:25:09.880
does it matter. I don't care
who they're playing. I will pick predict

1230
01:25:09.920 --> 01:25:14.760
they win. Yeah, give me
the Gonfrada Bulldogs. Oh, I like

1231
01:25:14.880 --> 01:25:18.279
it. You're gonna see that on
Twitter soon, sir, You're welcome.

1232
01:25:18.560 --> 01:25:21.680
I will take all the royalties you
make from that. Yeah, well,

1233
01:25:21.800 --> 01:25:27.000
don't don't. Don't quit your day
job. Next? Does he have later?

1234
01:25:27.439 --> 01:25:31.680
Later? Not touch on that one. Nick gets his NBA and he's

1235
01:25:31.680 --> 01:25:38.439
like, you peasants, just messy
Ryan. Ryan drives people's cold car are

1236
01:25:38.640 --> 01:25:42.479
people's cold food around at night?
So hey, that's a side job.

1237
01:25:42.680 --> 01:25:47.319
That's too far. It was your
real job, sitting at a desk in

1238
01:25:47.359 --> 01:25:53.279
the city of a Leitha's apartment.
Wow. Nick is firing shots. Nick

1239
01:25:53.479 --> 01:26:00.239
is what he likes to define as
a financially secure future and Ryan are those

1240
01:26:00.239 --> 01:26:02.800
are perfectly real jobs. Those are
perfectly real jobs. I just want to

1241
01:26:02.840 --> 01:26:05.680
any chance I can make fun of
city government. I'm gonna take that chance.

1242
01:26:06.279 --> 01:26:10.279
Nick, who sits at a desk, is making fun of me for

1243
01:26:10.359 --> 01:26:14.960
a desk job. I said,
I just wanted to make fun of a

1244
01:26:14.960 --> 01:26:18.359
city job because you know what you
always used to tell stories of when your

1245
01:26:18.560 --> 01:26:30.039
one of your main responsibilities was coordinating
with some other ladies taxpayers. This is

1246
01:26:30.079 --> 01:26:33.800
a very very bad idea for a
few different reasons. But yeah, special

1247
01:26:33.880 --> 01:26:41.720
stance of I t P is that
what Nick just said is lies. Well,

1248
01:26:41.760 --> 01:26:45.239
Panera bread lunch is going to pay
on the taxpayer's dying today. Samantha's

1249
01:26:45.239 --> 01:26:51.119
gonna go pick it up. Make
sure to get extra, extra, sise

1250
01:26:51.960 --> 01:26:58.239
extra, I'm getting I'm getting fired
now Landon's. Landon has had family members

1251
01:26:58.239 --> 01:27:00.119
that used to work there too,
so we we all know how this works.

1252
01:27:00.560 --> 01:27:04.279
I'm talking about your job at Culver's, not at a oh, any

1253
01:27:04.319 --> 01:27:10.119
other job I do. I do
handle a lot of taxpayer dollars working at

1254
01:27:10.119 --> 01:27:15.079
the cash register at Colver's as a
fourteen year old. That's right, technically,

1255
01:27:15.079 --> 01:27:20.000
that's kind of true. Yeah,
and that was horrible remember whenever these

1256
01:27:20.399 --> 01:27:26.000
these middle aged moms would come in
and order like twenty five, like twenty

1257
01:27:26.159 --> 01:27:30.520
different five dollars gift cards and we'd
have to slide them all one by one

1258
01:27:30.720 --> 01:27:33.520
five dollars gift cards. And yeah, that only did it at twelve to

1259
01:27:33.560 --> 01:27:38.600
fifteen PM. Enjoy half a meal, I guess. Yeah, Well,

1260
01:27:38.640 --> 01:27:41.960
they give them the kids, and
that was that was whenever that could pay

1261
01:27:41.960 --> 01:27:45.319
for a little cup of ice cream
or custard or whatever. Now not the

1262
01:27:45.359 --> 01:27:54.920
shoe. Yeah, okay, I'm
out. Next show, you'll say here

1263
01:27:55.000 --> 01:27:59.600
so much, we'll be back.
What Friday? We want a Friday night

1264
01:27:59.600 --> 01:28:04.960
show with an early Saturday game the
who knows? Do we even need recap

1265
01:28:05.079 --> 01:28:09.840
the UCF game? Yes we do, because they're probably they have a people.

1266
01:28:10.920 --> 01:28:14.760
They have a forty nine percent chance
of losing, sir, per ESPN,

1267
01:28:15.840 --> 01:28:20.439
and the metrics must be trusted.
I'm leaving before Nick says something else

1268
01:28:20.479 --> 01:28:24.079
that could get me in legal trouble. By career
