WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.120 --> 00:00:07.360
Listen to all those bells being jingled, because there is no other way this

2
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.800
is. We're gonna talk about everything
on this show, but there is no

3
00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:15.400
topic. There will not becoming correct. Yes there is. But as far

4
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:20.719
as Christmas songs, this is at
the top. There is no other number

5
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:25.640
one. Here is awful take and
here go. I was gonna say,

6
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:29.519
here comes Grandpa Nick, but apparently
here comes both of my grandpa, grandma

7
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:35.439
and Grandpa Nick. Oh wow,
which one of you is the grandma?

8
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:40.000
I guess I'll like that? That's
all right? I mean, hey,

9
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:45.079
hey, you know what, this
has been a very weird twelve shows,

10
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:48.159
but I will not have you guys
poop on this parade. Here come the

11
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:55.439
bells. All that's the product of
an artist with a terrible solo career that

12
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.240
had to make a Christmas album that
somehow blew up even though it just has

13
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:00.520
a bunch of bells and an auto
tune on it. All right, well,

14
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:07.400
you know what I was gonna say
that is, I mean, I

15
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.120
thought I had my take didn't even
last a minute and worth taking me.

16
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:15.280
It's a formula you essentially, when
your career is washing music, Who's done?

17
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.719
You get this studio? You get
some bells behind the track, and

18
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.920
then you have a terrible chorus and
then you write a Christmas album and make

19
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:25.959
money because old people like it.
Wow, you know what, I tell

20
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.200
you what this is? This is
gonna get interesting because we've been waiting a

21
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:30.799
while to have all three of us
back on the same show. And it's

22
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.959
not like that Yale game got us
in the mood to talk about basketball or

23
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.920
anything. So I guess we just
have to hit you with a bunch of

24
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:41.319
nonsense. Christmas edition of Inside the
Paint Landed and Nick so happy to be

25
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:45.040
back together for the first time.
They're wearing the Santa outfits that the girls

26
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.879
were in the Mean Girls talent show
scene. Have you guys seen that?

27
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.159
Please tell me you guys have both
seen Mean Girls? No? No,

28
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.439
but I know I look a lot
of specks here in this costume. And

29
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.239
also it's time for shopping because it's
Wednesday or something like that. Does that

30
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:04.159
the out think that's on Wednesdays?
We wear pink? Sir? That is

31
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.200
that? Is? That? Is
the line? Nick? Have you seen

32
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:07.719
Mean Girls? No? I haven't
seen it. I don't watch for any

33
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:15.680
of my movies. Gosh, holy
guys, that's unbelievable class. So there

34
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:17.960
is a scene in Mean Girls,
which is one of the funniest movies.

35
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.039
Like legitimately, I think it's hilarious. Uh it's and it's not that it's

36
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:24.560
not really a girly movie either.
There's plenty of dudes. I think it's

37
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:30.159
funny too. Uh So that I
didn't think just because it was called Mean

38
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:35.199
Girls that it was exclusively for we
just for the record. Well, so

39
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:39.039
there's a scene in Mean Girls where
Lindsay Lohan, who is like eighteen years

40
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:44.719
old and at that point was one
of the most popular sex symbols in America

41
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:50.599
and a couple other girls perform in
a talent show and very very short Santa

42
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.520
Claus skirts. And so that is
what I am picturing you and Nick doing

43
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:59.240
this podcast in performing for your audience, the sort of thing that if you

44
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:02.039
were to walk into novelty shop and
say give me your Missus Claws outfit,

45
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.879
they would hand over. So I'm
wondering, as you guys have your you

46
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:10.000
guys have your uniforms on. Kansas's
uniforms were pretty good against the al So

47
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:14.360
you guys, like I mean Landon
had to get Hurbie somehow, right,

48
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.199
this is inside the Paint Christmas Edition. Didn't always their names? Did we

49
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:21.520
already do this? I don't remember
the last take or this take. I'm

50
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:23.280
Tim Allen and Christmas with the Cranks. There you go, great, and

51
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:28.439
I am Clark Griswold. Okay,
So, Nick, you have texted us

52
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:31.639
your favorite three Christmas movies. I'd
like to hear them and then we can

53
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:37.199
discuss how incorrect the rest of your
list is. Yeah. My number one

54
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.240
is going to be Home Alone,
Can't beat It, Holiday Classic. Number

55
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:46.960
two is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation,
and then the third one would be Elf,

56
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:53.599
mostly because of Zoe's Dashanel. But
which is fair. That's a good

57
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:57.280
take, very good reason to put
something in your top three because Zoe Deschanel

58
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.280
makes an appearance. That's a pretty
solid list, Like I don't think that

59
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.879
well. People may not agree with
that list. Pound for pound, there's

60
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:06.000
not a lot of shocking takes in
that land. And give me your three

61
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:11.000
favorite Christmas films. I'm prepared to
hear all of these be black and white

62
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.400
films from the nineteen forties. He's
gonna say, like A Wonderful Life or

63
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.959
something miracle on fifty fourth Streets.
I just watched Miracle on thirty fourth Street

64
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.680
last night for the first time.
It's really good. Oh my gosh,

65
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:27.639
Oh jeez, Landing, that's a
horrible, horrible take. It's good have

66
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.879
sentiments. There's no senti in the
world. Everyone just thinks everything's ironic and

67
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:36.160
funny. It is complete and total
ass all the time, boring. Polar

68
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:43.639
Express is good. Oh my gosh, weapons gosh, my goodness, you

69
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.839
just gave a take so bland that
Nick called it vanilla. Nick, who

70
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:54.839
doesn't like who doesn't like anything that's
not out of the traditionalist book, said

71
00:04:54.920 --> 00:05:00.279
you're bland with a take fuller.
Express is good. It's a wonderful life

72
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:05.560
is good and wrong. I don't
really watch a lot of how is Elf

73
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:10.839
not White? Elf is like the
whitest Christmas movie of all time. There's

74
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:17.279
only one everybody in Elf. Every
character in Elf, besides one the bad

75
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:23.279
guy, is as white as the
three of us. It is the whitest

76
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.079
Christmas movie on Earth. I think
it's like a cultural icon. I feel

77
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:32.560
like it is. It's about and
the nice and the naughty list. And

78
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:38.199
what I want to know is how
many more Christmas movies Nick has seen other

79
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:41.360
than the three he named. Yeah, that's true, not very many.

80
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:44.920
I I a few of them,
but not have you seen a Christmas Story,

81
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:50.839
because that's a pretty movie. Is
terrible cringe as every time every time

82
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:55.120
I hear Landon talk about a Christmas
Story, his opinion gets gets worse by

83
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:59.600
ten, like he hates it more. But I will say when Ralphie's brother

84
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:04.959
which I can't remember his name,
get Ramsey dress in all of can't put

85
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:09.560
his arms down, Yeah, that's
hilarious. And when he rolls around in

86
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:14.040
the snow after getting scared by the
bullies, that's peak. That is peak

87
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:17.639
comedy. I will admit the evil
Santa Claus and Elves throwing Ralphie down the

88
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.120
slide is always gonna be one of
the better moments in a Christmas film.

89
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.439
That's an excellent part. And then
he shoots his eye out because you know,

90
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:29.560
I mean the the bb Gung pellet
goes off the Belta sign and hits

91
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:30.480
him in the face. It's pretty
good. All right, we'll talk about

92
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:34.639
Christmas. Yan probably thinks Diehard's a
Christmas movie. I've never seen die Hard.

93
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:39.920
I've never seen Diehard either. That's
probably a bad take, But I

94
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.480
need to see it. Speaking of
bad takes, we'll have a lot of

95
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.000
them. Let's talk about the Jayhawks. Then we'll come back to the Christmas

96
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.879
time. I feel like instead of
an air horn on this show, you're

97
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:55.160
gonna get Christmas bells. This is
the new air horn. It's not loud

98
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:59.759
enough, but that's fine. Number
two Kansas seventy five, Yale sixty.

99
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:01.680
Well. On the last show,
Land and I predicted this would be sixty

100
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.959
eight to fifty four and a very
sleepy fifteen ish point win for Kansas,

101
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:10.000
and lo and behold, it was
a very sleepy fifteen isch point win for

102
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.079
the Jayhawks, even though it did
not look like it was gonna get to

103
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:16.480
double digits for a while. Yeah, it ended up being exactly what you

104
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:20.800
thought. It did not look that
way for a while, especially for the

105
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:26.160
first twenty seven minutes the Jayhawks trail
to forty two to forty one. We'll

106
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.959
get to whatever that was, but
I'm reading this first, and we're legitimately

107
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:34.560
getting out played for real in Allen
Field House by preseason Ivy League favorite Yale.

108
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:38.079
But thanks to Kevin mccullor, they
were able to get it going when

109
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:41.399
it mattered, most using a twenty
three to five run to take control.

110
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.680
Kansas scored thirty four points over the
final thirteen minutes wound up pulling away from

111
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.040
the Bulldogs to win their seventh straight
game. But uh yeah, Yale walked

112
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:54.720
into Allan field House and legit like
looked like the better team for a decent

113
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:57.680
stretch of that game. It was
weird. Well, we knew this was

114
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:01.120
gonna happen, not necessarily that it'd
be forty two four already won three quarters

115
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.480
of the way through the game,
But we knew that Yale was not North

116
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:05.759
Carolina Central. We knew that Yale
was not Manhattan. This is a team

117
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:11.279
that's probably gonna play Princeton in a
battle of whoever wins is going to be

118
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:16.839
the twelve seed that is predicted everywhere
to be the sexy over five pick in

119
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.600
the NCAA tournament. Right, Yale
has done this before. They haven't played

120
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.720
Kansas in a while, but usually
the IVY League top couple teams are pretty

121
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.839
good, and we knew that their
experience. We know these are obviously very

122
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:28.279
intelligent players, and they got guys
that can shoot the ball. We saw

123
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.440
that in the first half. Eventually, Kansas's talent was just too much.

124
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.240
But this was never going to be
a game that Kansas won by one hundred,

125
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.200
but definitely one that you expected them
to win by about fifteen. The

126
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.879
line closed at fourteen and a half
or fifteen and a half, whatever it

127
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.720
was. They narrowly misscovering it.
It was brutal. But Nick, you,

128
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:48.519
sir, mister pocket full of Sunshine
about your twenty twenty three twenty four

129
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:52.639
Jayhawks. You think that a disturbing
trend has emerged. You send us a

130
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.159
text, and I really would like
you to elaborate on You said, this

131
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:01.480
team really hasn't played that well since
the since the second or third game of

132
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:05.440
the year. Tell me a little
bit about your take on Kansas now eleven

133
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.559
and one, but definitely not playing
a games time after time in the last

134
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.440
few weeks. Yeah, it's not
like I've ever, you know, overreacted

135
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.480
in the group chat before. I
don't think that's something that happens that much.

136
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:20.200
But I think that this is this
is exactly the formula of a Kansas

137
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.799
team that loses in the sweet sixteen. They're gonna play some mid major,

138
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.120
they turn it over a bunch,
and they're not gonna be an Allenfield House

139
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:30.000
to have them behind their backs.
And you know, I wouldn't say that

140
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:33.639
the Stints Kentucky that they haven't really
played well. I mean, they beat

141
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.600
Yukon, they had a great first
half against Yukon. They obviously pulled through

142
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.200
to be a top five, top
ten team at home, which is great.

143
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.759
That was a great win. But
there's I mean, you look at

144
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.759
the rest of it. They haven't
not had a good stretch of forty minutes

145
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.519
of just playing great basketball since then. And I think that you know,

146
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.799
you look at good wins against Tennessee. Obviously they've played some tougher teams they

147
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:58.240
went in Indiana, but they throughout
all of this, it just seems like

148
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.759
there's been time so they have not
figured it out to get a good stretch

149
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.240
of offense going in the second half. It took in this game. It

150
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.120
took final five minutes to finally pull
away from Yale offensively. You're having Kevin

151
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.279
mccolor anchor you and try to pull
you into these games. Without him,

152
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.440
I don't know where you're at.
Hunter Dickinson looked a little confused. Granted,

153
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:18.159
I I kind of heard that he
might be battling flu symptoms. Or

154
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.039
something. But right now you're looking
at a team who just really hasn't figured

155
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:26.480
out how to have sustained runs and
not disappear at times in these games.

156
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:30.600
And I think that that's definitely something
to concern going down the stretch. And

157
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.120
you know, they're eleven and one, and I don't know if you can

158
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.320
say that eleven and one is something
to you know, be disappointed about,

159
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.360
but I am going to say that, like when you look at this team,

160
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.120
that the potential is there, and
they the Eastern Illinois game is a

161
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.960
good example of how they just don't
look since the ninety nine point wins against

162
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.480
Manhattan and in C Central, they
just haven't looked dominant. I want to

163
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.879
see a game where they just kind
of control the tempo and control the pace

164
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:58.840
and the scoring for all forty minutes, and we haven't seen that that yet

165
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.840
this year. I know we're still
the two guard is questionable. Marco Jackson

166
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.799
didn't have a great night tonight,
but got guys like Nick Timberlake stepping up.

167
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.399
But like I said that, there's
seems like there's so many sustained moments

168
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:15.320
in these games where the team just
does not have consistency, have droughts,

169
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:16.960
and I think that is gonna hurt
them down the road. But like I

170
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.720
said, right now, you can't
you can't fault them for having wins against

171
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.720
the top ten, and obviously the
one blunder was Marquette where they did get

172
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.000
blown out. But like I said, I'm concerned as as we enter in

173
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.840
the final stages of non conference play, You've got a game which which does

174
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.919
state I want to see some progress
when it comes to can this team control

175
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.759
the pace of the game and turn
it over less? And those are controllable

176
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.679
errors too, defense turnovers, those
can be improved, but a lot of

177
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.840
things just can't be taught, and
you start to wonder if this team's offense

178
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:52.120
is going to keep pace throughout the
season. I think guys like Nip Timberlake

179
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:56.399
playing better are definitely gonna help getting
Hunter Dickinson back into the full rotation and

180
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:00.000
back to his full strength. I
think that's gonna be important as well.

181
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.240
You have two All Americans on this
team, so certainly no doubt they're in

182
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:07.840
the front court. kJ Adams has
been beyond fantastic this year, but just

183
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.200
as a team playing cohesively, turning
the ball over less and finding ways to

184
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:15.679
score, and you know, you'd
hope at this point maybe they'd have a

185
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.159
little bit better than the seventy point
outing in these past few games against some

186
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.200
of these mid majors, you know, UMKC. But it is the early

187
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.600
on in the season and they are
eleven and one, so I don't think

188
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:26.879
you can fault them for that.
Landon. I I mean, on one

189
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:31.200
hand, he's right, Kansas hasn't
put together a quality forty minute game since

190
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.799
honestly probably the second game of the
year when Manhattan came in here and they

191
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:37.840
blew the doors off. And on
the other hand, they've been playing pretty

192
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:43.759
difficult competition. I know they've had
a couple of games, undoubtedly against teams

193
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.960
that they should have blown out that
they really didn't like Eastern Illinois and UMKC

194
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.639
they kind of screwed around with.
But then there's also plenty of games wherever

195
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.519
they did beat a top ten Tennessee
team, they did beat a top five

196
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.039
Yukon team, they handled Missouri,
who I know isn't great but still is

197
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.720
a big rival, and that game
was their super Bowl. There are definitely

198
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.480
I think the correct answer is probably
in between that everything is fine and Nick

199
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:09.720
saying, Oh, this team's got
a lot of problems. Is Knicks take

200
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.080
pretty rational? I think it is
compared to other Ku takes you may see.

201
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:16.919
But curious where you come in with
this. Yeah, I think it

202
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:22.240
is somewhat rational. I do think
he's right in the like if this was

203
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.799
like if this was in a vacuum. You know, they've we've seen them

204
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:33.120
over many years and many many different
teams have completely uninspired outings that they win

205
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.720
right before Christmas break. That's super
normal. But this has been a trend

206
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:43.559
of this team since the Manhattan game. Really obviously like there's been good wins

207
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.519
in there. You know, Yukon, Tennessee, Kentucky are those are excellent

208
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:54.519
wins. But then you know,
beating Eastern Illinois and UMKC and a couple

209
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:56.960
of these other teams kind of the
way you did, you know, it

210
00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:00.679
leaves you wanting more. I think
in a lot of cases, I do

211
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.399
have some real questions about this team
that I thought I would, especially if

212
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.240
you told me they'd be eleven and
one. I thought, you know,

213
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:11.080
you'd probably lose a close one to
Marquette or Purdue and when the rest going

214
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:16.080
away, and you'd be feeling pretty
strong, but you know, they did

215
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.960
lose a game to Marquette that wasn't
too bad. But other than that,

216
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:22.480
it's it's been weird. It's been
really weird. I don't know how much

217
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.360
I am putting like a lot of
stock into all of these games, because

218
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.960
I think there's a very good chance
that they're just gonna be a team that

219
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.000
doesn't lose very much in conference play
either, no matter who they play,

220
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.879
because again, we have seen them
play good teams and win. I think

221
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:46.080
focus and motivation has a lot to
do with this for this team, because

222
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:50.320
they just like when they have to. We've seen it against all every team

223
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.799
they've played. Really when the lights
get the brightest at the end of the

224
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.879
game and when when the chips are
down, they just turn it on and

225
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:01.840
they find a way to win.
With one exception otherwise, like you and

226
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:05.799
Case, they just turned it on
when they had to. Yale, they

227
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:07.799
turned it on at the end when
they had to, And when they do

228
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.840
that, they've looked quite unbeatable.
And I think you're gonna see more of

229
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:16.360
that come conference play. But I
am worried that if they do show up

230
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.360
unfocused obviously in conference play, there's
a much greater chance you're gonna get caught

231
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:22.559
a couple times, but I don't
think that'll be the case. I think

232
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:28.840
they're gonna show up pretty focused once
Big twelve Play starts up well, and

233
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:33.639
they remind me of the twenty nineteen
twenty team, which obviously was the number

234
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.919
one overall tournament seed waiting in line
if the tournament didn't get canceled. That

235
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.960
team wasn't just blow you away impressive
Udoka kind of caught fire at the end

236
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:46.360
and gave you some of those performances. But I mean that team beat UNC

237
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.519
Greensboro by twelve, then they beat
East Tennessee State by twelve, then they

238
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:56.120
beat Colorado by eleven, and then
they beat Stanford by fourteen, Like there

239
00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:00.000
were plenty of games in that non
conference schedule. Also, that team was

240
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:03.399
ten to two, not eleven and
one. And then Kansas just rolled through

241
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.000
Big twelve play there with only one
hiccup, But there were plenty of seventy

242
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:14.080
four sixty eight or sixty nine fifty
eight or ninety one seventy three sort of

243
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:17.519
conference wins. Like they just didn't
blow everybody away there either. I think

244
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:21.320
that team's the comp right, a
dominant post player, a really good perimeter

245
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:23.600
player, and a bunch of role
players that can't really shoot around the rest

246
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:26.200
of them. That's what the team
reminds me of the most, and that

247
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:30.679
team to just find. Kansas is
a top ten offense from a field goal

248
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:36.320
percentage perspective right now, and they
are a top twenty defense in terms of

249
00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:38.799
field goal percentage. As long as
those two things continue to be the case,

250
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.759
they're gonna have plenty of games that
they win by twenty points. That's

251
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:47.000
that's just setting up dominance. The
issue for Kansas has been they turn it

252
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:51.759
over too much and they foul a
lot. That needs to change. That's

253
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.120
that's one of the things that will
ultimately lead to them scoring more. Nick,

254
00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:57.519
you mentioned Kevin ncolor. If it
wasn't for him, it would have

255
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:00.960
been worse. Indeed, tell me
about the best night of maybe in all

256
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:04.440
Americans for a season so far.
Yeah, definitely. As he said,

257
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:07.079
it was a crew knight for Kevin
mccoller, who went for offered thirty four

258
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.039
points and eleven for eighteen from the
floor in thirty seven minutes. He was

259
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:14.119
seven for eleven on twos, four
for seven on threes, plus eight for

260
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:17.599
eight at the free throw line.
He also added six rebounds for assists and

261
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:19.559
two steals. Bill self said after
the game that he's one of the five

262
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:23.440
best players in America. I argue
he's top three. He's now averaging twenty

263
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:30.000
seven and five while shooting fifty one
percent. Is he Is he all an

264
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.319
American? I think I tend to
think that he is pretty clearly in the

265
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:37.119
top three of the Natesmith runner up, I mean running Obviously, Zach Edy's

266
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:41.279
still in college, not being college, but yeah, yeah, he's He's

267
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:45.759
definitely an American. There aren't five
players better National Player of the Year race

268
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:48.720
right now? Is Zach Edy and
then the field. Terrence Shannon Junior is

269
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.640
in there. Kevin mccoler is probably
ahead a Hunter Dickinson in the KU rankings

270
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:56.240
honestly, But yeah, Landon,
we said we needed this guy to take

271
00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:59.480
a step forward, and he's taken
two step forward. He really did drink

272
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:03.559
the Yabaji and Jalen Wilson. I'm
sorry, but why why is Zach heat

273
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:04.920
He's still in college? This guy, this guy needs to go to the

274
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:08.960
NBA or find a job. No, that's not an unfair take, except

275
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:12.799
that he's extremely good and very,
very dominant. It's also like, the

276
00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:15.880
dude is seven foot ten, so
I hope he's good at basketball. Well

277
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:18.839
do you think that? But we
all watched Taco fall be not that good

278
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:23.200
at basketball despite being seven to six
or whatever it was. Yeah, but

279
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:26.359
yeah, mcculor like he like you
said, Ron, he did take that

280
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:32.079
jump. He took that leap,
the senior leap, and he is shooting

281
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:34.559
the ball well too, much better
than we even predicted so far. No,

282
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:37.559
again, we've seen a lot of
guys shoot well, non con not

283
00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:40.119
shoot well in Big twelve play,
so we'll see what happens there. But

284
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:45.799
nonetheless, he has been sensational.
Also, thirty four points are the eighth

285
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.880
most in a game. Under Bill
self, Nick, can you name the

286
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:53.240
other seven performances? I wasn't.
Wasn't Frank Mason one of them? Nope,

287
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:59.200
nope, already lost Lanton. You
can play too. There are seven

288
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:04.440
games I saw players, Oh Will
Chamberlain, Well, it says under Bill

289
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:14.839
self, Ah, this you should
not go to get We covered like three

290
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:18.079
of these. This. This definitely
did not go like I thought it was

291
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:21.440
going to. Here. DeVante Graham
is one of the Yeah, Devonte Graham

292
00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:25.279
had two. He had thirty five
against Toledo and Syracuse. That's two of

293
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:27.480
seven. How many more you got? I believe there's one very recently.

294
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:32.640
Jalen Wilson had thirty eight last seasons
correct at Kansas State. That's the second

295
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:36.119
most, our third most, right, second third most, Yeah, third

296
00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:40.720
most. I also think there's a
recent one too. I think Wasn'tchaia Boggi

297
00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:44.640
had, you know, like thirty
seven in a game or something, good,

298
00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:51.359
good, good good. That's four
you got three left? Yeah,

299
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:55.279
you're missing one and two. And
then there is a thirty six performance in

300
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:57.599
there somewhere too. And I'm forgetting
the thirty six. Who was the thirty

301
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:03.240
six? Yeah, thirty six was. Yeah, it's probably the least standout

302
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.759
worthy of these games. It's it's
an oldie. It's before you guys did

303
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:14.000
the show. I'm trying to think
of someone that would have been before the

304
00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:18.319
shows that had been like twenty fourteen, forty one, A thirty nine and

305
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:22.640
a thirty six was Aaron Miles at
the front end of the bille Cether didn't

306
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.960
play on herself. I don't know. I'm Johnna blank Land and what landon?

307
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:32.200
What do you got one of them
is the highest recruit of all time.

308
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:37.000
Yeah, oh yeah, that's Andrew
Wiggins at West Virginia. No time,

309
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.720
Grandam Foster was actually the one that
had forty one points against West Virginia.

310
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:45.640
And the thirty six point one you're
missing Landon was also against West Virginia.

311
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:48.000
We'll trying to think because I know
there's one against Iowa State. I

312
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:51.640
think really it was, Yeah,
it was big Wadger was Elijah Johnson at

313
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:55.480
I was say, yep, that's
correct, that's thirty nine and you're missing

314
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:59.400
you're missing the thirty six you're missing
one. No, it was at Allen

315
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:02.720
Fieldhouse. It was a blowout and
it was kind of like mccouler where you

316
00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:06.400
look down and oh he has that
many Ben Macklimore, Yep, back in

317
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:07.799
twenty thirteen. That's correct. Good
work. Next, I don't know if

318
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:11.279
you looked up Rock Chuck blogger or
not, but you got the answers right.

319
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:15.640
Those are the seven performances that are
better than Kevin mcculler's thirty four.

320
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:18.599
Somehow, this is the only thirty
four point game exactly in the Bill Self

321
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:21.440
era. Well, those are the
bill ones in the Bill Self era.

322
00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:26.960
What is the most points ever scored
in a game for Kansas and it's not

323
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:32.359
in the Bill self era ever.
Uh, do you have the answer in

324
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:37.359
front of you. Yes, well, it's Wilt scoring like what probably something

325
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:41.319
in the sixties, right, fifty
two points? But who was who was

326
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.440
he playing against? Jesu? It
was Wilt so it's probably the Kansas YMCA.

327
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:52.000
No Northwestern? Wow? Okay,
yeah, it was fifty two points

328
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:55.400
against the Northwestern. Interesting, So
Kevin McCuller was two thirds of the way

329
00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:57.000
to the all times score record.
That's a bummer. You don't see many

330
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:00.599
fifty point games in college because Tony
Bennet has ruined the offense. Thanks Tony

331
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:03.640
and Dick. Oh. I don't
know if I can stand it on the

332
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:10.039
air. I have to go back. That's yeah, drop that. That'll

333
00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:12.160
that'll be a drop that when we
talk about Virginia in the future. Okay,

334
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:17.200
speaking of those things, the Jayhawks
not named Kevin McCuller, they were

335
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:21.200
all. They were that because they
were bad. Forty one points for Jayhawks

336
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:26.680
not named Jim they did yeah on
sixteen for thirty nine from the floor,

337
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:30.640
which is well, I wrote bad, but it's also as yuck. It

338
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.960
took until the final five minutes for
the rest of the team to total more

339
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:36.400
points than McCuller. We'll talk about
the rest of the team in the day,

340
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:41.039
but first, Landon, you already
lost a prediction that you stated,

341
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:45.559
so I feel like you have to
eat the crow and talk about how that

342
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:48.880
prediction that you made that this player
would go the whole year without scoring double

343
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:52.880
figures. It went, uh,
hold on one second, I'm trying hold

344
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.119
on everybody, Hold on your hold
on your horses. Landon's prediction went,

345
00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:04.599
come on, here we go,
Ali you kaboom, Saint Nicholas Timberlake.

346
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:10.519
He did finish with thirteen points,
eclipsing ten, though I said he would

347
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:14.079
not do that for the rest of
the season. He was six for ten

348
00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:18.640
from the floor, which was second
on the team in both Johnny Furfy was

349
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:22.480
not with a team for this game
September late got thirty minutes. He finally

350
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:26.720
looked like the player that they thought
they were getting from tausand who made three

351
00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:30.559
of his seven threes. I don't
know what to really take at this game.

352
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:33.480
It's weird, it's Yale, but
it's also a lot better than he's

353
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:37.559
looked against other opponents that were worse. So it is I see Nick,

354
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:42.640
What do you think of your fellow
Nick having a bounce back game? Yeah,

355
00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:45.759
this is what we wanted to see
for a while now. I mean

356
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:48.079
a couple times earlier this season he'd
take a shot and you think could go

357
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:52.480
in and that he'd finally get the
confidence back, because we know he was

358
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.000
a great shooter at toowsand shooters shoot
regardless of where they're at. But it's

359
00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:57.920
finally good to see him get something
to go in the basket. I know

360
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:02.160
that I been wanting to see that
in this game. It was basically white

361
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:04.119
and white crime with those threes.
But it's like Clark Griswold, you know,

362
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:07.880
push plugging in the lights, and
the light just came on for Nick

363
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:11.039
Timberlake, Like, yeah, I
cannot believe that you have not seen that

364
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:15.240
movie. I can't. Yeah,
that's Insane Land, and that's that's a

365
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:18.799
classic. But as I was saying, the lights just came on for Nick

366
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:21.519
Timberlake, like, shooters are,
like I said, so streaky and a

367
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:23.759
just confidence thing. And I think
finally seeing it going in the hoop is

368
00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:26.799
a big thing for him. He
said in the postgame presser, like this,

369
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:30.480
like this is what Bill self.
This is the guy that Bill Self

370
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:33.519
recruited from tousand to play at Kansas. The light switch flipped on, and

371
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:37.440
I think, hopefully that's something we're
gonna see. Yeah, as we go

372
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:40.839
forward, that right there is what
I was gonna say that. Nick Timberlake

373
00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:44.480
also agrees with your sentiment that the
light kind of came on in that game,

374
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:47.400
and I think that as weird as
this sounds, I don't know if

375
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:51.319
I can say this. He it
felt like an unlucky thirteen points. He

376
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:56.200
had like two threes that roll around
and bounced out. He almost had even

377
00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:00.119
more than that. He was really
good. And this boy to the they

378
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.599
need this. They got actual bench
production in this game on a night where

379
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.000
Hunter Dickinson had his worst game of
the year and kJ Adams had his worst

380
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:11.799
game of the year. They needed
that bench production badly. As Nick is

381
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:15.640
pulling up him side by side with
Justin Timberlake and it's honestly not the worst

382
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:18.359
combination. He's gonna say, this
is Nick Timberlake. You guys do not

383
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.400
look alike. Because Nick Timberlake looks
like he is forty two years Justin Timberlake

384
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:25.640
kind of have a similar nose.
Thanks. I guess wow, there you

385
00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:29.480
go. You can hang that banner, sir, have a similar nose with

386
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:33.920
Justin Timberlake. It's exciting. Yes, Timberlake was really good. Let's see

387
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.720
if he builds on it. I
love how they kept clearly. Bill self

388
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:40.960
was okay having him shoot the ball. He was pretty rough on defense early

389
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:42.839
on, but whenever you make threes, you make up for a lot of

390
00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:47.039
those sins. So it was awesome
to see and happy for him. He's

391
00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:49.599
worked as hard as anyone on this
team. He's hurt the criticism and he

392
00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:52.880
wants to play well more than any
of us want him to. So good

393
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:57.119
to see him have a big performance
and in the first semester break on a

394
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:02.759
high note. Also having a good
performance from a three point shooting perspective was,

395
00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:11.160
of course, the man himself,
August Mahoney. You knew that he

396
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:15.119
was gonna make some baskets. He
did. Him and John pull A Kiddess

397
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:18.799
combined to make five threes. The
big dorky Sinner also made one, even

398
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.480
though he struggled for the most part. Anytime Yale comes in Allen Fieldhouse,

399
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:25.319
you know why guys are gonna make
threes and now Kansas can say that they've

400
00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:29.720
been threed by a guy named August. I've never met a man named August

401
00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:33.160
in my life. Never heard of
that being a thing, have you?

402
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:36.720
It is every month a name?
I guess there's there's not any people named

403
00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:42.160
like February before. Yeah, October, October is a name. Decober.

404
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:47.880
Sure, I will have you know
that Tony, Tony Gonzalez's wife is named

405
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:51.319
October. That is absolutely a name. Yep, that is. That's the

406
00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:52.559
only time I've heard it. But
it's I've heard it, and yeah,

407
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:57.160
I've heard November. I've heard August, I've heard June, I've heard May,

408
00:26:57.319 --> 00:27:03.920
I've heard April. Yes, they're
probably not March. I would guess

409
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:08.119
not a lot of February is out
there. Yeah, that's so Januaries though,

410
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:11.680
I've heard I know a couple of
Januaries. Yeah, that's a thing.

411
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:17.279
Why on earth would anyone name their
kid January? Just like so many

412
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:21.440
modern names just make no sense.
Why not have some like classic throwback names

413
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:25.480
or something. Let me let me
find the exact stat because this is amazing.

414
00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:30.559
So in twenty and twenty, there
were over one hundred babies worldwide that

415
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:40.680
were named COVID, c ov I
D seriously Nope. Like names like Noah,

416
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:45.079
Well, there's also Absta. Absta
was a popular name, and that

417
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:49.000
is a five letter name spelled ABCDE. So people are getting all sorts of

418
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:52.799
creative with their baby names. People
are weird, man. Yeah, it's

419
00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:56.799
it's too hard, right they they
If they don't like a European city,

420
00:27:57.319 --> 00:28:00.039
then what else are you gonna name
your daughter? Come on, there's nothing

421
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:04.920
else that you can't Rules of naming
of daughters Number one, pick a European

422
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:07.279
city. Number two, pick a
name and at an a on the end

423
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:10.799
of it. If you don't like
those two rules, then I guess you

424
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:15.240
have to go with January said people. People can pick better names than that.

425
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:21.599
And then now here comes Nick with
his with here comes traditionalistening Jane's here

426
00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:29.240
and they better not have tattoos.
Okay, let's talk about Hunter Dickinson next.

427
00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:34.599
Save us. You don't like my
daughters Marseille and Toyota. I wish

428
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:40.119
I was named like Alpha Alpha Remo
or something. But yeah, Hunter Dickinson

429
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:41.799
had his worst game of the season. Or am I supposed to we?

430
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:47.599
Am I supposed to read to one? Harris? Nope? No, nope,

431
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:52.480
Well nicely just buy his own volition, decided to do the correct thing

432
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:56.000
in the notes, and then second
kissed himself. Yeah. I mean I

433
00:28:56.039 --> 00:29:00.359
think I got white guys confused,
so sorry for that, but yeah,

434
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:03.200
that's the game. Yeah. Having
his worst game of the season, though,

435
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:06.680
was Hunter Dickinson, who was held
to eight points and four for nine

436
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:10.200
shooting in ten rebounds in thirty five
minutes. He did not attempt a single

437
00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:11.839
free throw and turn the ball over
at team high three times. This was

438
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:15.759
the fifth straight game that Dickinson has
been held under a season average in scoring.

439
00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:19.119
Is this a concerning trend emerging here? Is it's just a product the

440
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:23.119
team's committing so many resources to stop
him. I think that I should file

441
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:27.359
a motion with the Lawrence Police Department
that I'm allowed to hit anybody who talks

442
00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:32.079
a baud about Hunter Dickinson in the
head with an inflatable hammer unlimited amount of

443
00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:36.400
times. No, there is not
a disturbing trend developing here. Underhaf to

444
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:41.720
get a camera to watch my house
because I wow, oh okay, he

445
00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:45.640
sure, go ahead and tell me
how go ahead and tell me how mediocre

446
00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:47.799
he is. When they got four
fricking guys on him, and no one

447
00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:49.799
are on the perimeter kids worth guarding
because they can't shoot land and go ahead.

448
00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:56.039
Now, admittedly, yes they are. These teams especially are guarding him

449
00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:00.559
with a lot of guys. They
are committing so much to making sure Hunter

450
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:07.160
Dickinson does nothing to hurt them.
But Hunter Dickinson also doesn't like do anything

451
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:12.000
to create his own looks. Very
often when he does, he makes them.

452
00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:15.839
And I'm not saying like taking guys
one on one. I'm just saying

453
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:19.200
like post moves, just general stuff
in the post that you know, we've

454
00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:22.960
seen Kansas Biggs and all bigs do
to create their own shots, but he

455
00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:27.559
doesn't do a lot of that,
which is kind of concerning and is kind

456
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:32.119
of weird. Again, he is
double triple, quadruple teamed in the post

457
00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:34.960
a lot, so we can't do
that a ton. But it is a

458
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:38.759
really weird thing. I noticed it
earlier in the season. It hasn't really

459
00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:41.680
bit them, and it really didn't
even invite them that much in this game,

460
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:45.480
but it is a weird thing.
And he he is not like an

461
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:52.519
insanely high percentage shooter like period.
Kind of Now he's gonna have a great,

462
00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:56.400
big twelve season. I have no
doubt, but they're just some weird

463
00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:59.559
stuff with Hunter that I'm not like, I'm questioning a little bit. I

464
00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:02.559
have caught he's going to be very
good, but I do have some questions.

465
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:07.319
All right, that's that's a tanke. I don't think it's truly fair,

466
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:11.400
because man, the guy's worst game
he's gonna have this year is eight

467
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:15.279
and ten while being triple teamed.
Like, I don't know what else you

468
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:18.440
really want him to do. I
think that this is a product of the

469
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:26.200
other guys not being super concerned with
Kansas's assortment of three point shooters, so

470
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:30.839
they don't feel the need to seal
that very much. And the last few

471
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:33.359
teams have been okay, letting CAJ
beat them, and instead they triple team

472
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:37.680
Hunter. And when CAJ isn't performing
well, then this is what you get.

473
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:41.319
Kansas's front court didn't play well at
all in this game, and Hunter

474
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:47.400
didn't play great. But I mean, my goodness, if you asked me,

475
00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:49.480
you gave me a piece of paper
and a pen and told me write

476
00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:53.960
down Kansas is ten most pressing problems. I don't think i'd write anything that

477
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:56.400
has to do with Hunter Digginson,
Like, I don't know how he's not

478
00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:00.880
one of their ten biggest problems,
is he? I don't. I doubt

479
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:05.640
it. No, I wouldn't think
it'll develop in an actual huge issue.

480
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:07.559
But there's I don't know, there's
I think there's some weirdness. It is

481
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:10.759
compounded by the fact that people are
triple teaming him. Don't get me wrong.

482
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:16.079
Everybody tells me soft and oh he
would suck if he wasn't seven foot

483
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:20.759
two. Well he is, So
I'm glad we're having that conversation. I

484
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:24.680
mean, like, geez, it's
if if that's really stupid. So like

485
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:30.160
he's a seven foot two center that's
gonna average that's currently averaging what nineteen and

486
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:34.640
twelve? Like man find something,
it finds something worth complaining about. At

487
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:36.880
this point, I guess he's been
he's been fine. I don't know.

488
00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:38.440
Like this guy, for example,
we all point the pitchforks at the wan

489
00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:43.200
Harris ten points, six assists,
forced deeals thirty five minutes. There's not

490
00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:45.559
a lot to analyze here. He
was three for five from the floor.

491
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:47.759
He's been in that three for five, three for six the last few games.

492
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:52.440
That that that regression, that we've
seen the law of average is starting

493
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:55.319
to balance out his game again.
This looked like the Dewan Harris we expected

494
00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:58.640
to see all year. I assume
you guys don't have a lot to say

495
00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:01.200
here. Uh, it was good
to see Kansas make their run with the

496
00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:07.160
one Harris playing well, and that's
what happened. Nick. Yeah, I

497
00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:12.039
mean, I don't understand why de
one Harris just does not shoot the ball

498
00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:15.240
more. He is who he identified
himself as a good shooter. But I'm

499
00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:20.400
not concerned about him. He's fine. All right, Let's talk about everybody

500
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:22.599
else Land, and I feel like
let's put everybody else into I wrote in

501
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:28.200
the notes, one big pile of
underwhelmingness. That feels fair. Go ahead,

502
00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:31.319
Yeah, I think it is.
kJ had six points, forces two

503
00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:35.640
rebounds in thirty six minutes, only
two of eight from the floor. Was

504
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:39.400
definitely trying to force some things at
times. Marco Jackson had a very uninspiring

505
00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:44.039
night, one of six from the
floor, turning it over several times under

506
00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:46.079
his own basket when he got too
sped up. Jamreal, mcdallan, Parker

507
00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:50.039
Brown played just five minutes each.
They were okay, and they're five minutes

508
00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:54.000
anything else really to say about these
guys. Any concerns here? I got

509
00:33:54.000 --> 00:34:00.200
two concerns. One. kJ Adams
doesn't rebound enough. This is going to

510
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:05.079
be a problem. Hunter Dickinson is
one of the greatest. He is the

511
00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:09.400
leading rebounder in the nation right now. And Kansas as a team right now

512
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:15.239
is one hundred and thirteenth in total
rebounds per game. That's a problem.

513
00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:19.079
They're also like and a lot of
that is they don't get a lot of

514
00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:22.599
offensive rebounds because they shoot such a
high percentage. They are fifteenth nationally and

515
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:29.199
defensive rebounds. But Hunter Dickinson's averaging
over forty percent of this team's rebounds.

516
00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:31.360
That can't be a thing. That's
going to be a problem. I guess

517
00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:35.440
it's about thirty percent. Kj's got
to be better. If he's gonna play

518
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:37.119
what thirty six minutes at the four, you got to have more than two

519
00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:40.559
rebounds in that because Yale was getting
a lot of second chance looks as a

520
00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:45.719
result of kJ not getting rebounds.
Second thing, why does Jamari McDowell,

521
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:49.960
Why does it take everybody else being
uninspiring to get him a shot? We've

522
00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:52.599
said this many times. I don't
get it. Yeah, and I know

523
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:57.800
his ceiling isn't like the highest on
the team. But with Johnny Furfey in

524
00:34:57.840 --> 00:35:01.920
Australia and Arco going one of six, and I know Timberlake even had an

525
00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:05.559
okay night, But yeah, I
just I don't quite get what it's going

526
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:09.800
to take for him to get more
looks. I mean, McDowell is not

527
00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:14.440
going to be, you know,
an All America this year or anything,

528
00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:17.360
but he definitely is a valuable player
if you want to be that defense was

529
00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:22.280
going to stifle opponents, and we're
gonna let Dickinson and mccullor just cook opponents

530
00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:24.320
to death. You could do a
lot worse than having McDowell on the outside

531
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:29.000
just playing good defense and passing it
inward to those guys. He doesn't turn

532
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:31.920
it over unlike Jackson and Timberlakes sometimes. And boy Jackson had a rough game,

533
00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:37.039
as you said, but overall self
rides with him five times the minutes

534
00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:40.079
as he does with McDowell, and
I think for the long term future this

535
00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:43.800
team, I'm getting a little bit
less confident by the show. You know,

536
00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:47.280
Game two, Game three, when
McDowell wasn't playing as much as al

537
00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:52.400
Marco. My attitude was, well, self knows how important al Marco developing

538
00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:53.719
is to this team in March.
Okay, well, now we're getting a

539
00:35:53.719 --> 00:35:57.840
little bit closer to the halfway point
in the year, and Jackson hasn't taken

540
00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:00.280
the leap forward on offense that I
thought he'd by now. He's a really

541
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:06.360
good defender, but offensively he definitely
has moments wherever he's a net negative for

542
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:09.760
Kansas, and I don't think McDowell
does interesting decision byself. KU forty seven

543
00:36:09.800 --> 00:36:13.280
percent from the floor, forty five
percent from three. They did make all

544
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:15.719
twelve of their free throws. That
was good one hundred percent at the free

545
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:17.880
throw line. It's been a while
since they were ten for ten or more

546
00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:21.800
from the free throw stripe, so
that was good to see. Give me

547
00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:24.800
a closing thought on this game.
They beat Yale, It wasn't particularly inspiring.

548
00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:29.480
The last game of the year before
Christmas. Never is that inspiring.

549
00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:32.639
Basically a clone of the game against
Harvard last year at Allen Field House.

550
00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:37.039
It's just a sleep walker of an
evening and they've had some sleepy games in

551
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:40.239
recent memory. But overall, they
are eleven and one and unless they lose

552
00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:44.719
to a Wichta State team that they'll
be a double digit favorite, and they're

553
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:47.480
gonna enter conference play with one loss
through two months. Tough to be that

554
00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:52.559
disappointed, right Nick? Any final
thoughts, Yeah, I think KYU has

555
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:57.239
a good opportunity in this last non
conference game to really put things together.

556
00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:00.599
It just maybe well complete performance,
But that's what I want to see.

557
00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:02.880
I want to see consistence forty minutes
of basketball. I know that's not gonna

558
00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:06.639
happen every game. Conference play is
gonna ramp up, and it's got tougher.

559
00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:10.119
So now's the time you buckle in. How many games wo Kansas winning

560
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:13.719
Big twelve play? Sorry, Landon, I'll get right back to you.

561
00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:16.079
No, you're good. What do
you think, Nick? I still think

562
00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:22.880
it's probably like fourteen or fifteen,
fifteen, fourteen. If they win fourteen

563
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:28.400
plus Big twelve games, I don't
care how impressive they are. I don't

564
00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:31.039
care. If they win all fourteen
games by one, you cannot call them

565
00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:35.760
a week. What would that be? Twenty five regular season win team,

566
00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:37.559
twenty six regular season win team.
Yeah. I just think that they have

567
00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:40.519
a lot of winnable games coming up, a lot of the worst conference teams,

568
00:37:40.519 --> 00:37:44.599
so that they might potentially be nineteen
and one. But this might be

569
00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:47.360
one of the worst nineteen to one
teams we've seen. Oh that's interesting,

570
00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:52.199
Landon, What do you think.
I don't know. I'm gonna have to

571
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:54.239
see them play Big twelve games,
I think before I can make a judgment

572
00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:57.920
like that. As a spoiler alert, they're gonna win a lot of them.

573
00:37:57.960 --> 00:38:00.800
They do every year. They are
gonna win a lot of them.

574
00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:04.559
I think it is gonna be important
how they look winning them. They are

575
00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:07.320
gonna win most of them. I
think there's a very good chance to win

576
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:10.199
the league. Really intrigued to see
how they look on the road against the

577
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:15.199
likes of Houston and Baylor and some
of these teams that they don't play for

578
00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:20.679
a while. Their Big twelve schedule, Yeah, their Big twelve schedule is

579
00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:24.079
so soft to start, unless you're
a believer in Oklahoma, they really don't

580
00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:28.719
have. I don't know. They're
probably not gonna be a dog until geez,

581
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:35.320
mid February TCU at Central Florida,
Oklahoma at Oklahoma State at West Virginia

582
00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:39.199
Cincinnati. Like, that's six games. You're a three point favorite in all

583
00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:43.280
of them, at least, not
saying they're gonna win them all. But

584
00:38:44.519 --> 00:38:47.800
boy, they play both games against
Baylor, both games against Houston, both

585
00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:52.920
games against Kansas State, and they're
one game against Texas and their road game

586
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:57.360
at Oklahoma. All of those games
are second half of the Big Twelve schedule,

587
00:38:57.480 --> 00:39:00.920
So it's if they're not eight and
one or so through nine games,

588
00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:05.760
then we are gonna see potentially some
problems in the league race. But at

589
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:07.800
least for now, I don't think
there's a lot to be concerned about any

590
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:10.880
other takes, any of the thoughts. No, I think this team's still

591
00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:14.679
good. I think they kind of
can't be bothered to play teams that they

592
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:19.239
know they're better than. Yeah,
I think it's very chief like in that

593
00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:22.320
sense. The Chiefs look very bored. Not necessarily this team because this year's

594
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:25.559
team Chiefs team isn't quite as good
as years pass, But how many times

595
00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:29.960
like the was it the twenty twenty
team that had like eight straight games that

596
00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:32.320
they only won by one score and
every game was the same. They'd lead

597
00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:36.639
like thirty to thirteen, and then
it'd wind up being thirty to twenty three

598
00:39:36.679 --> 00:39:38.679
because other teams would just score late. The Chiefs would get bored because they

599
00:39:38.719 --> 00:39:42.440
knew they already had it. One
like that kind of feels like this Kansas

600
00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:46.159
team, doesn't it. Yeah,
it's definitely very like Kevin Durant Steph Curry

601
00:39:46.199 --> 00:39:50.480
Warriors esque. Yeah, you'd expect
that team to be, you know,

602
00:39:50.519 --> 00:39:52.559
a sixty win team, and then
they'd always win like only fifty two and

603
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:58.159
they'd still lose like twenty. But
it was just because they did not care,

604
00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:00.000
because they knew that their goal was
to win the championship, which they

605
00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:02.360
end up doing. I don't know
if this team's that good, but they

606
00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:07.239
do feel bored. Yep. All
right, now let's talk about other games

607
00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:13.280
and then we can get on to
the Christmas questions. Well, I said

608
00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:15.639
that I was going to play jingle
bells every time instead of the airhorn,

609
00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:19.719
and I already forgot and I'm not
clicking back that. Oh here it is?

610
00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:22.960
Look at that. Are people actually
listening on Christmas? Eve? Do

611
00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:28.119
you do people turn this on whenever
they're driving to like their family's house on

612
00:40:28.239 --> 00:40:34.840
Christmas with their their relatives in the
backseat? Cam Lipple, I don't think

613
00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:39.639
kids, I like, do you
think any children have listened to it?

614
00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:46.079
Do you think at any point and
this show's run children do you hope or

615
00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:51.039
do you think at some point in
this show's run. Uh, somebody has

616
00:40:51.039 --> 00:40:53.280
been listening to this show and with
their kid in the backseat of the car

617
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:58.320
and one of us has started talking
about something inappropriate or the ass drop starts,

618
00:40:58.320 --> 00:41:00.079
where then the volume has to get
turned down. Has that happened at

619
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:07.079
least once in the history of Inside
the Paint It must have. Nick has

620
00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:10.360
talked about Penn State too many times
to have not come up at an opportune

621
00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:15.119
time for something. Okay, what
did you do at school today? Well,

622
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:17.599
we did, we made art prak
chuers and then we did recess and

623
00:41:17.960 --> 00:41:22.440
let me turn up my podcast,
real fist ask, oh, let me

624
00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:29.760
turn this down. That's that's absolutely
happened at South Wait. Guys, I

625
00:41:29.800 --> 00:41:32.280
have this on my on my on
my resume. We can't talk about anything

626
00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:37.559
inappropriate today and other news. Penn
State their first game in ten years against

627
00:41:37.639 --> 00:41:40.559
Michigan State. It was kind of
a close call, if you know what

628
00:41:40.599 --> 00:41:46.280
I'm saying. It's been at least
five years since I've said a Penn State

629
00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:51.960
joke. It's been at least five
years. Oh boy, I Bill Belichick

630
00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:57.519
throwing challenge flag dot gift on that
statement. It's been at least a year,

631
00:41:57.599 --> 00:42:01.920
but five years is a little strong, sir. Speaking of it's been

632
00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:07.400
about five years since Baylor beat a
good team two straight els for number six

633
00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:10.440
Baylor, who dropped a game in
New York City to number twenty one Duke

634
00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:13.760
seventy eight seventy I don't remember if
I said it or not, but if

635
00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:17.559
I didn't big twelve games, the
Bears struggled to get stops late, while

636
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:22.159
the Duke backcourt, not the Kyle
Philipowski front court, was the ones who

637
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:25.320
did the damage. They attacked the
baskets throughout the second half. Watched the

638
00:42:25.400 --> 00:42:28.760
last ten minutes of this game,
it felt like every time I was like,

639
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:30.360
Baylor really needs to stop here,
they didn't yet. One While the

640
00:42:30.360 --> 00:42:37.159
Bears did bounce back by beating zero
to twelve Mississippi Valley State by fifty nine

641
00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:40.559
the other night, Scott Drew's team
is ten to zer against unranked teams and

642
00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:45.079
zero to two against rank ones.
That seems to be a trend for a

643
00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:47.719
lot of the top teams in college
basketball. Would you be concerned if you're

644
00:42:47.719 --> 00:42:54.119
a Baylor fan that I'm not a
top ten team? Sure, I would

645
00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:58.039
not be concerned about their like general
quality. I still think they're a very

646
00:42:58.079 --> 00:43:00.480
good team, but yeah, maybe
maybe not quite ten to two, maybe

647
00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:04.960
not the sixth best team in America. I think they're kind of what they

648
00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:08.840
always are. I think they're really
good on offense and the defense is leaky.

649
00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:12.320
Like, look what happened last year. They won a lot of games,

650
00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:15.719
they got a one seed, and
then they lost in the second round.

651
00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:20.199
Like I don't know, like they
just feel like that. Usually teams

652
00:43:20.199 --> 00:43:25.039
that have very mediocre defenses don't usually
do real well in the NCAA Tournament relative

653
00:43:25.079 --> 00:43:30.440
to their seed. And I think
that with a freshman led three point barage

654
00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:34.039
offensive juggernaut, I think that's kind
of what you might be setting up for.

655
00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:37.079
But they will beat Kansas and Waco
because they do that every single year.

656
00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:40.000
Is that new building open, sir? It opens on January first.

657
00:43:40.199 --> 00:43:45.880
It's in the new year. So
Kansas will get to play in that new

658
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:47.639
building. No more Feral Center,
at least they'll thank goodness. Yeah,

659
00:43:47.679 --> 00:43:52.559
the place is like two five hundred
less seats because, as we always know,

660
00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:57.920
the Faral Center, there's no one
ever there at those games. The

661
00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:04.360
last time that Kansas won either at
Baylor or at Texas was before COVID shut

662
00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:07.760
everything down. So it's been a
while and they're not gonna play in Austin

663
00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:13.440
anymore times on the schedule, so
they gotta get it done. Speaking of

664
00:44:14.800 --> 00:44:19.440
teams that cannot sell out their home
arena, Number seven Oklahoma lost a number

665
00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:22.920
eleven UNC in a game that wasn't
ever actually that close eighty one to sixty

666
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:25.360
nine. RJ. Davis scored twenty
three points in motor Porto motor or vaunted

667
00:44:25.400 --> 00:44:29.519
offense was held to barely forty percent
from the floor. The Sooners are ten

668
00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:31.239
and one. How many Big Twelve
games are they gonna win? Like?

669
00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:37.159
Seven? Yeah, seven to eleven
feels pretty right. Oklahoma is sitting the

670
00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:45.400
top Fraud Mountain. They planted their
flag right there atop Fraud Mountain. Frauds

671
00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:49.719
vacation is that is? Yeah,
he has a house there and they built

672
00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:53.039
it up by beating a bunch of
tiny directional schools. They're not the number

673
00:44:53.079 --> 00:44:55.920
seven team in the country. I'm
not even sure that the number seven team

674
00:44:55.960 --> 00:45:00.960
in the Big Twelve. They might
be that there might not be a ranked

675
00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:06.840
team though. Yeah, we'll see. Let's take a look. All the

676
00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:09.719
Big Twelve schedules are about the same. But here is how Oklahoma plays.

677
00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:13.880
So their next two games are Central
Arkansas and Monmouth. Think they're gonna win

678
00:45:13.920 --> 00:45:17.679
that. Iowa State at TCU,
at Kansas, West Virginia at Cincinnati.

679
00:45:17.719 --> 00:45:25.000
I predict a losing record through five
games for the number seven Oklahoma so owners,

680
00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:29.719
as everything goes quiet, I truly
did not hear your question. I

681
00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:32.559
was reading ahead. I was trying
to be prepared, and I just kind

682
00:45:32.559 --> 00:45:37.320
of zoned. That is okay,
because something else that would be nice if

683
00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:44.239
you could zone and not have the
consequences show up. That's what Houston could

684
00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:46.800
do because they play the worst schedule
I've ever seen with my eyeballs as a

685
00:45:46.840 --> 00:45:52.639
result of beating Texas State by thirty
five points. But the metrics, that's

686
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:54.679
right. They are number one and
Ken Palm and they are number one in

687
00:45:54.719 --> 00:46:00.719
the net. ESPN has moved Houston
up to a sixty eight percent chance to

688
00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:04.719
win the February third game at Allen
Field House. It's like Vegas and ESPN

689
00:46:04.760 --> 00:46:08.159
have never witnessed games in Allen field
House before. Oh yeah, no not

690
00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:13.599
they They think Houston's is the best
mask. Chris Fridl to Houston a ninety

691
00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:15.239
nine percent chance and winning out for
the house. Yeah, Chris Reynolds has

692
00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:20.920
already written him in with a sharpie
on his one line for his bracket that's

693
00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:22.920
coming out here in a few weeks. The Cougars are twelve and oh against

694
00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:27.400
the one hundredth ranked strength of schedule, and their fans were in the Rock

695
00:46:27.519 --> 00:46:30.519
Chalk Blog mentioned they have fans telling
me how hard it is to hold Texas

696
00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:35.519
State to thirty seven points. Great, good for you With Houston. It's

697
00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:38.639
actually have a recording of Ryan Landrath
then his opinions that Chris Reynolds, Wait,

698
00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:42.840
it's not Oh, all right,
it's not working, So I guess

699
00:46:42.960 --> 00:46:46.199
I may PUDs in. Oh,
It's okay. Chris is very excited about

700
00:46:46.199 --> 00:46:50.719
how Houston's twelve and oh he's so
excited about it that he's going to drop

701
00:46:50.760 --> 00:46:53.320
Kansas to the third number four seed. I believe. Uh, stay tuned

702
00:46:53.360 --> 00:46:58.760
to see how that tunes in.
Oh also very hard to hold to thirty

703
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:05.079
seven points. Texas State also scored
forty eight points against McNee State and sixty

704
00:47:05.119 --> 00:47:13.000
seven against Southern Utah. They barely
eclipsed seventy against Titan Miami Ohio UTSA.

705
00:47:13.519 --> 00:47:16.239
Now they did put up und seven
and one hundred and ten. One of

706
00:47:16.280 --> 00:47:27.239
those was against Jarvis Christian and the
other was against Latournos as as the Latno

707
00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:34.039
Yellow jam ass. When I clicked
them, my computer does nothing. My

708
00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:37.199
computer does nothing when I try to
click their team name. So I was

709
00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:42.760
looking up Wichita States schedule because that's
obviously who Kansas plays next. And they

710
00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:46.920
played and counted a game against Friends
University in Wichita, and that is an

711
00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:51.760
NAIA school that they beat by thirty
points. It must be a thing.

712
00:47:52.599 --> 00:48:00.920
Laturno has a player named Gavin Landenberger. Oh spelled with an e, wow,

713
00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:07.960
spelled the wrong way. It's your
long lost brother. Is Gavin Landenberger

714
00:48:08.039 --> 00:48:12.280
a white dude? I'm gonna see
them he must be. And he scored

715
00:48:12.320 --> 00:48:15.880
no points in thirteen minutes. Wow. If that is that is Landon's brother,

716
00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:19.199
if I've ever heard of it,
I think that you guys are probably

717
00:48:19.199 --> 00:48:24.840
related. He is averaging zero points
and one rebound in two games this year.

718
00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:29.760
And if I click his ESPN page, his little where his picture would

719
00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:36.039
be is just the school logo that
checks out. He has. I look

720
00:48:36.119 --> 00:48:38.840
up so many players on ESPN,
guys, I have used this website to

721
00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:43.719
look up tens of thousands of players
in my lifetime, and this is the

722
00:48:43.760 --> 00:48:47.440
first time I've seen five eight,
one fifty listed on the height Weight's me.

723
00:48:47.639 --> 00:48:52.199
I'm I'm taller and fatter than him. There, Hey, there you

724
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:53.760
go, There you go, sir. You know what I always say,

725
00:48:53.840 --> 00:48:57.440
Maybe this drop will come to reality
if you get a chance to go one

726
00:48:57.440 --> 00:49:02.119
on one against buddy. All right. Well, somebody who's not laying laying

727
00:49:02.119 --> 00:49:07.159
it in much is West Virginia Land
and this is this is quite sad there.

728
00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:10.960
They are absolutely dreadful. Yeah,
pretty much a nightmare scenario here for

729
00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:16.280
the Mountain Mamas. They lost at
home at the Horn to Radford sixty six

730
00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:21.920
sixty five. They are four and
seven on the year. Unfortunately, Kirk

731
00:49:21.920 --> 00:49:27.000
Crisa must be doubting every life choice
he's ever made. Uh, They've had

732
00:49:27.079 --> 00:49:29.840
him on the team for the last
two games. They've lost both those games.

733
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:34.440
Kirk Greasa much better than what Morgantown
is giving him, So that's kind

734
00:49:34.440 --> 00:49:38.920
of sucks as well. Yeah,
really bad outing for the from Tucson,

735
00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:44.960
Arizona, Senny Tucson to Morgantown,
West Virginia. Yeah, but Kirk Greasa

736
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:47.079
is still gonna make nine threes in
the two Kansas games. Are they only

737
00:49:47.079 --> 00:49:55.039
playing ones? He'll make five probably
and they'll go like what eight and twenty

738
00:49:55.079 --> 00:50:06.400
three? Yeah? Yeah yeah on
purpose. Well you watch your old team

739
00:50:06.440 --> 00:50:09.320
be one of the four best teams
in America. Yeah yeah, yeah,

740
00:50:09.360 --> 00:50:13.599
as Caleb Love shoots a thousand times
and everyone on Twitter is like, look

741
00:50:13.639 --> 00:50:16.719
how great he is. Kansas State
beat Wichita State at the T Mobile Center

742
00:50:16.880 --> 00:50:20.760
by nine. All right, you
know what happens whenever they do that,

743
00:50:20.840 --> 00:50:29.000
we get a sandstorm. How concerned
are you about Wichita State? Yeah?

744
00:50:29.000 --> 00:50:32.159
I don't think it's which. Wichita
State has lost to Missouri and Kansas State,

745
00:50:32.199 --> 00:50:37.039
so now they are trying to complete
the set. Yeah. I'll be

746
00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:39.320
at that game, So if you
guys go, then maybe we'll Maybe we'll

747
00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:45.440
paint RCB on our chests and we
can hold up and flash the stadium whenever

748
00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:52.400
they put the camera on us or
ip in my stomach hair too. I

749
00:50:52.519 --> 00:50:55.960
have no hair, so I will
take the hardest letter to skuld I don't

750
00:50:57.000 --> 00:51:00.360
think anyone wants to see our chests. Just be using bodies, kid at

751
00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:04.320
this point, just get an R
into your chin hair. Maybe we'll skip

752
00:51:04.360 --> 00:51:08.239
the paint and just hold up pieces
of poster board that say ITP I like

753
00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:10.800
that a lot better. We could
flip it around and it says RCB,

754
00:51:12.559 --> 00:51:15.239
Hey look at that. We can
block whatever you do. Not hold up

755
00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:19.159
a white sign like Evan Phillips.
Yeah, I'm not making it a white

756
00:51:19.199 --> 00:51:22.440
sign because Evan did that and it
didn't end up too well. Like anybody

757
00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:25.199
who holds anybody who holds up a
white piece of poster board, you are

758
00:51:25.239 --> 00:51:30.639
asking to be photoshopped by opposing fans. Evan has no idea how many photoshops

759
00:51:30.639 --> 00:51:34.719
I have him holding up that white
sign on my computer. Lots of them.

760
00:51:34.920 --> 00:51:37.280
Oh boy, yeah, said it
out loud. Was that on purpose?

761
00:51:38.039 --> 00:51:42.519
Nick said the quiet part of oh
well, Evan, if you tweet

762
00:51:42.559 --> 00:51:44.639
at us and want to see them, maybe I'll have to post one.

763
00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:47.880
There's a lot to choose from.
I don't. I don't. I'm surprised.

764
00:51:50.199 --> 00:51:52.199
TCU they were the only other Big
twelve team to take an l this

765
00:51:52.280 --> 00:51:55.800
week. Unlike Nick after saying that
out loud, they lost in Nevada out

766
00:51:55.840 --> 00:52:00.719
in a tournament that takes place in
Hawaii. Ernest Day is on an unstoppable

767
00:52:00.760 --> 00:52:02.760
tear Guys. He's made eight shots
in his last three games, doubling the

768
00:52:02.800 --> 00:52:09.599
number he's made all year. That's
pretty sad. Great, that was an

769
00:52:09.960 --> 00:52:15.519
awesome segment. Other games, I
will start. We're playing conference games in

770
00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:19.000
a lot of leagues, including the
Big East, and there were three upsets

771
00:52:19.000 --> 00:52:22.239
that took place here. You had
three top twelve teams in that conference.

772
00:52:22.280 --> 00:52:24.880
They all lost, the first of
which was Shaka Smart's number six Marquette team

773
00:52:24.880 --> 00:52:30.400
getting trounced that Providence seventy two to
fifty seven. The Friars defense held players

774
00:52:30.440 --> 00:52:34.039
not named Tyler Kullak to just eleven
made shots. Do you guys know who

775
00:52:34.119 --> 00:52:37.800
Providence's coaches? I learned this this
morning. Well it's not the guy with

776
00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:42.480
al Pecia, No, he left. He's in Georgetown now. Yeah,

777
00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:47.079
oh oh. I want to say
I do know who it is, but

778
00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:52.679
I don't. It is Kim English, the former Missouri Tigers guy. Yeah,

779
00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:57.400
yeah, he's He's made a pretty
quick ascent up the up the charts,

780
00:52:57.559 --> 00:53:00.159
and after hearing some of Dennis Gates
press conference, I can't believe Missouri

781
00:53:00.159 --> 00:53:06.880
didn't hire Kim English instead. Yeah, it seems like a layup. Yes,

782
00:53:06.960 --> 00:53:10.119
because Dennis Gates has lost to Jackson
State and then called them the best

783
00:53:10.239 --> 00:53:14.760
OH to five team in the country, which is just not a statement anyone

784
00:53:14.760 --> 00:53:17.119
should be forced to say. They
were also the only five team in the

785
00:53:17.119 --> 00:53:22.320
country. But that's neither here nor
that Missouri in the state exists. Yeah,

786
00:53:22.400 --> 00:53:24.480
yeah, I yet know at that
point they were the only to five

787
00:53:24.519 --> 00:53:29.039
teams. Mississippi Valley State must have
been OH to four at that point,

788
00:53:29.039 --> 00:53:32.800
sir, put some respect on that
name. UH defending champion number five.

789
00:53:32.880 --> 00:53:38.840
Yukon also lost by fifteen at Seaton
Hall seventy five to sixty. The Huskies

790
00:53:38.840 --> 00:53:43.320
were terrible shooting threes, made just
thirty eight percent of their overall shots.

791
00:53:43.599 --> 00:53:46.039
Also, Villanova went on the road
and beet number twelfth Creighton sixty eight sixty

792
00:53:46.079 --> 00:53:50.920
six in overtime. Their three biggest
teams in the top twelve, all of

793
00:53:50.920 --> 00:53:53.039
them lost their conference opener. Who
was set to win the league? Nick,

794
00:53:54.599 --> 00:53:58.000
that's a tough one. I don't
I don't know. It could be

795
00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:01.639
anyone. I maybe maybe Yukon,
Marquette, maybe those two. I think

796
00:54:01.679 --> 00:54:06.559
Marquette's the best team. I think
Yukon will win it. I think Yukon

797
00:54:06.599 --> 00:54:08.719
will win it because Dan Hurley is
a much better coach than Shaka Smart.

798
00:54:09.960 --> 00:54:15.079
Is he much better? Yeah?
Yes, I don't think it's that close.

799
00:54:15.320 --> 00:54:20.079
Shaka Smart's won two NCAA tournament games
in like the last eight years.

800
00:54:20.400 --> 00:54:22.599
Dan Hurley won two in a weekend
last year three times in a row.

801
00:54:24.119 --> 00:54:27.440
Yeah, that is fair when you
say it like that. I don't know

802
00:54:27.719 --> 00:54:30.400
Steve Marquette wins it. I think
I think they tie is probably the most

803
00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:35.320
likely scenario. Creighton is all over
the place and Villanova is a dark horse.

804
00:54:35.360 --> 00:54:38.360
They're gonna be They're gonna be plenty
sneaky enough to ruin someone's day.

805
00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:43.079
Team that won't be sneaky Virginia,
nick all yours? Yeah, and putting

806
00:54:43.079 --> 00:54:45.599
everyone in the Christmas spirit was a
number twenty two Virginia who took a lost

807
00:54:45.599 --> 00:54:50.440
to Memphis, blown out seventy seven
to fifty four. But but but their

808
00:54:50.480 --> 00:54:53.079
defense is good. Ryan. Would
you like to read that last line that

809
00:54:53.119 --> 00:54:55.559
you have about Tony Bennett? Uh, yeah, I sure do. I

810
00:54:55.639 --> 00:55:00.800
wrote in very large caps, you, Tony Bennet, that's for you for

811
00:55:00.920 --> 00:55:05.039
what you did to ruin this sport. Go sit in an outhouse with none

812
00:55:05.039 --> 00:55:09.000
of your friends, you dummy.
Arizona and Florida Atlantic played one of the

813
00:55:09.000 --> 00:55:13.559
best games of the year, probably
the best game of the year thus far

814
00:55:13.639 --> 00:55:19.280
in college basketball. But it was
the underdog number fourteen Florida Atlantic taking down

815
00:55:19.280 --> 00:55:24.039
the fourth rank Wildcats in two overtimes
ninety six to ninety five out in Las

816
00:55:24.159 --> 00:55:28.760
Vegas. It was a terrific game
that was going on during a very mediocre

817
00:55:28.840 --> 00:55:31.639
NFL game, so I watched this
instead. It was really a one on

818
00:55:31.639 --> 00:55:37.079
one game between Janelle Davis, who
finished with thirty five points and Caleb Love,

819
00:55:37.119 --> 00:55:38.840
who finished with twenty six. Made
a couple of big shots, but

820
00:55:38.920 --> 00:55:43.440
Caleb Love was eight for twenty five
from the floor and really hurt his team

821
00:55:43.519 --> 00:55:46.440
with some misses down the stretch.
Davis made nine more shots or I cannot

822
00:55:46.440 --> 00:55:51.679
count seven fifteen for twenty seven is
much better than eight for twenty five,

823
00:55:51.760 --> 00:55:54.679
though Arizona goes down for the second
time in the last three games. Cause

824
00:55:54.760 --> 00:56:00.519
for concern for the Wildcats or they
just lost to two excellent teams, two

825
00:56:00.639 --> 00:56:05.760
good losses. Yes, FAU is
very good, like very very good once

826
00:56:05.800 --> 00:56:08.119
again. Yeah, don't let the
loss to Bryant fool you. They're really

827
00:56:08.280 --> 00:56:14.400
really good. What a weird result
that was? Weird? Oh okay landon

828
00:56:14.400 --> 00:56:15.480
I'd like you to read this next
one, and I'd like you to not

829
00:56:15.559 --> 00:56:23.480
omit any words. Uh, speaking
of frick us, Gonzaga Bulldogs played real

830
00:56:23.559 --> 00:56:30.079
teams in Washington, Connecticut, and
guess what, everyone shocking they lost both

831
00:56:30.239 --> 00:56:34.920
games. Okay, you can't be
going back to our space. We gotta

832
00:56:35.199 --> 00:56:37.920
gotta settle down here. They took
a page out of Baylor's notebook, scheduled

833
00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:45.280
Mississippi Valley State and Jackson State,
two teams of the combined record of four

834
00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:49.440
and twenty, and guess what they
did win both of those. Missouri could

835
00:56:49.440 --> 00:56:52.719
not beat both of those teams.
Zaga can so at least Gonzaga is better

836
00:56:52.760 --> 00:56:58.320
than Missouri. But yeah, Washington
Connecticut teams with real players and athletes.

837
00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:04.480
Yeah. Speaking of MISSOO, they
got absolutely blown out. But number thirteen

838
00:57:04.480 --> 00:57:07.639
Illinois out in Saint Louis, winning
ninety seven to seventy three and a complete

839
00:57:07.639 --> 00:57:10.440
blowout from start to finish. Tarrett
Shannon went off for thirty more points.

840
00:57:12.039 --> 00:57:15.320
It's Missouri bad. Also, it's
cool to see that while Texas, Texas

841
00:57:15.320 --> 00:57:17.440
has a good roster, they have
count Koller and they have Terran Shannon.

842
00:57:17.480 --> 00:57:22.440
This must be a top team all
it took was Mark Adams not being a

843
00:57:22.639 --> 00:57:25.840
very bad person, and Texas Tech
might be very very nasty right now?

844
00:57:27.199 --> 00:57:30.440
Uh yeah, can we not say
Bente got bent over? Is that bad?

845
00:57:31.000 --> 00:57:36.400
I'm not gonna say that landed that
that doesn't get peped out? All

846
00:57:36.480 --> 00:57:38.519
right? Well then yeah that's what
happened. What Nick said is fine too.

847
00:57:38.800 --> 00:57:42.519
I said on a show Landon wasn't
on. It was just Nick and

848
00:57:42.559 --> 00:57:45.000
I. I said Missouri was gonna
win twenty games. No, I don't

849
00:57:45.000 --> 00:57:49.159
think they're gonna win twenty games.
They're pretty pretty bad. Yeah, that's

850
00:57:49.239 --> 00:57:55.440
frustrating. It's your turn rhyme.
Oh it is sorry. Another Arizona note

851
00:57:55.440 --> 00:57:59.960
here these were all written in a
weird order. Arizona before their lost FA

852
00:58:00.519 --> 00:58:04.440
they handled Alabama, bouncing back from
their loss to Purdue by thirteen. The

853
00:58:04.519 --> 00:58:07.239
Crimson Tide, though, are six
and five. They have losses to Ohio

854
00:58:07.280 --> 00:58:12.159
State, Clemson, Purdue, Creighton
in Arizona. Wow, what a schedule.

855
00:58:12.440 --> 00:58:15.599
That's two decades worth of tough games
for Calvin Samson. Their fans like

856
00:58:15.800 --> 00:58:20.880
guys, Texas State, Yeah yeah, John Shire, what a what a

857
00:58:21.119 --> 00:58:28.119
Goofas Notre Dame lost to the Citadel
at home by twenty. That's interesting,

858
00:58:29.159 --> 00:58:31.679
and that team still beat Oklahoma State
a couple weeks ago, and they're not

859
00:58:31.719 --> 00:58:37.039
even the worst team in the ACC. Because number nine Kentucky blew out Louisville

860
00:58:37.280 --> 00:58:42.840
ninety five seventy six. Kenny Payne
got a boost of confidence from his athletic

861
00:58:42.880 --> 00:58:45.519
director, as the guy said,
Kenny Payne is the right guy to lead

862
00:58:45.599 --> 00:58:51.599
our program. I don't think that
ad has watched many basketball games this season.

863
00:58:52.039 --> 00:58:54.119
John cal Perry said, he's just
needed some time. He's had some

864
00:58:54.440 --> 00:59:01.719
He's got nine wins in forty four
tries. Oh my gosh, that's terrible,

865
00:59:01.760 --> 00:59:05.599
man, John Caliperi being like,
oh, yeah, he'll be great.

866
00:59:05.719 --> 00:59:10.280
Just keep him for a while.
It's pretty funny that, oh my

867
00:59:10.400 --> 00:59:15.719
gosh. That yeah. Kenny Payne
before the game was like, I know

868
00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:17.599
Galiperi wants to beat me by twenty, but I just want to beat him

869
00:59:17.599 --> 00:59:22.920
by one. And it's like,
well, there's your inspired vote of cost.

870
00:59:23.960 --> 00:59:29.440
Yeah. Yeah. Louisville really really
bad ranked teams to louse since the

871
00:59:29.519 --> 00:59:31.719
last show. Once again, the
highest ranked team to lose since the last

872
00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:37.039
show is number four Arizona. The
Wildcats lost to fau oh sar you ruin

873
00:59:37.119 --> 00:59:44.800
the bit the fighting, Caleb loves
the fighting. Whatever. They lost to

874
00:59:45.119 --> 00:59:54.400
FAU what a weird secret. Bit
Number five h Yukon white Dogs they lost

875
00:59:54.480 --> 01:00:01.079
to the Seatons. There you got
you finally got a bit there. Number

876
01:00:01.239 --> 01:00:09.440
six defighting Golden Peeps lost to the
priests in black outfits. I have no

877
01:00:09.519 --> 01:00:15.239
idea that how that's why you get
you? And also the white Dog sounds

878
01:00:15.320 --> 01:00:19.719
like something that would you would see
in a on a news article. Sounds

879
01:00:19.719 --> 01:00:24.280
I gonna say from the White Dog
sounds like something that that you'd see on

880
01:00:24.360 --> 01:00:28.840
NBC, being like, can you
believe that Elon allows those guys on Twitter?

881
01:00:29.199 --> 01:00:32.480
Like I that just feels like a
terrible name, But I guess we're

882
01:00:32.519 --> 01:00:37.679
doing this. Number ten white Dog
forty seven is the usual name that applies

883
01:00:37.679 --> 01:00:38.960
to the bott account that applies to
you. There you go, now you

884
01:00:39.000 --> 01:00:45.360
got it. Number ten Baylor lost
the duke. Number seven the Oklahoma Laters

885
01:00:45.440 --> 01:00:50.320
lost to u NC. What the
hell are we doing? And that's going

886
01:00:50.360 --> 01:00:53.920
backwards? You skipped We didn't do
them. Yeah, you totally skipped over

887
01:00:54.320 --> 01:01:00.039
North Carolina in Oklahoma? What oh? I was like, how they are

888
01:01:00.119 --> 01:01:05.559
you getting breese from North Carolina?
Now? I get it. Number seven

889
01:01:05.679 --> 01:01:12.119
Oklahoma Boomers lost to North Carolina,
if you would believe it. The number

890
01:01:12.199 --> 01:01:16.400
twelve Birds that are Blue lost to
the Cats that are Wild. The most

891
01:01:16.480 --> 01:01:24.199
uninteresting mascot every high school uses,
I don't know, like domesticated felines or

892
01:01:25.960 --> 01:01:30.920
uh, most boring mascot ever,
what do we gonna call it? That?

893
01:01:30.039 --> 01:01:32.639
You could have said, growl kitties, here we go, Here comes

894
01:01:32.639 --> 01:01:39.519
the two seats other things. Probably
take the last one. The number twenty

895
01:01:39.559 --> 01:01:52.199
two UNBC Retrievers lost to the Tigers. Twenty two Virginia lost to Memphis.

896
01:01:52.599 --> 01:01:58.719
Our Christmas gifts? Is Tony Bennett
even deserve a mascot? Our Christmas present

897
01:01:58.760 --> 01:02:00.800
to all of you? Is that? Well shoot ourselves after this podcast.

898
01:02:00.840 --> 01:02:07.039
So you guys, this eighteen us
reading that level bit that was so bad

899
01:02:07.360 --> 01:02:12.400
And the worst part is you guys
missed one game that we didn't even cover

900
01:02:12.480 --> 01:02:16.840
here. Number seven Oklahoma lost to
North Carolina. I can't believe you guys

901
01:02:16.880 --> 01:02:22.440
skipped that last weekend pick them well? Uh, Nick was bad, he

902
01:02:22.559 --> 01:02:27.800
was one in four Landon you picked
up two games. Hey, my slow

903
01:02:27.840 --> 01:02:32.679
comeback has begun, as Bate Manning
once said, epic comeback starts right here.

904
01:02:36.239 --> 01:02:39.480
Ask rock Chalk Blog short round of
questions today at cam w Lippolk Golf

905
01:02:39.599 --> 01:02:45.480
wants to know would you rather eat
twenty four tea Mobile Center chicken tenders?

906
01:02:45.679 --> 01:02:50.119
Boy? How bad would this second
choice have to be for you guys to

907
01:02:50.199 --> 01:02:54.280
say that one? I like my
insides existing, so that one's pretty tough.

908
01:02:55.000 --> 01:02:59.000
Well, the other one is drinking
an entire gallon of eggnog in twenty

909
01:02:59.000 --> 01:03:06.000
four hours, which is complete booty
cheeks trash. I have never had eggnog,

910
01:03:06.199 --> 01:03:08.719
so it's that Wow. Really,
you worked at cover sir. All

911
01:03:08.840 --> 01:03:14.440
the white people in town flock to
us for an eggnog shake every single day

912
01:03:14.440 --> 01:03:17.760
of December. Had it? It's
it's fine. It tastes kind of sweet.

913
01:03:17.800 --> 01:03:21.599
It just kind of tastes like sugar
milk, honestly, right, Nick,

914
01:03:21.679 --> 01:03:23.159
is that fair? I don't know. Yeah, I mean is not

915
01:03:23.199 --> 01:03:28.199
good. That's way better than pooping
liquid for like a month straight if I'm

916
01:03:28.199 --> 01:03:32.079
eating twenty four of those tenders.
So yeah, for if if one person

917
01:03:32.199 --> 01:03:36.000
tells us to do it, I
will make Nick and land and eat chicken

918
01:03:36.000 --> 01:03:37.360
tenders from the Sprint Center when we
go to the witch Tust They oh,

919
01:03:37.440 --> 01:03:42.559
I'll eat. I'm gonna faidy chicken
tenders there. Oh, that feels like

920
01:03:42.679 --> 01:03:45.960
a horrible decision, sir. I
speak from experience. You don't want that

921
01:03:46.199 --> 01:03:52.280
wow Land and that feels like that. That feels like it in from his

922
01:03:52.400 --> 01:03:55.320
last words, Yeah, that feels
like Nick's gonna have a really sad Saturday

923
01:03:55.440 --> 01:04:00.719
or Sunday. I'll request you to
have the exact same poor that we got,

924
01:04:00.760 --> 01:04:03.440
which is worker comes out of the
bathroom and doesn't wash their hands before

925
01:04:03.480 --> 01:04:08.239
they prepare your meal. I'm guessing
is what happened that day, because yeah,

926
01:04:08.360 --> 01:04:11.280
I only ate like a tender and
a half land in eight four,

927
01:04:11.440 --> 01:04:14.599
and you were much sicker than I
was, sir. Yeah, and just

928
01:04:14.679 --> 01:04:16.679
for the kicker, we're gonna have
like week old honey mustard as I mean,

929
01:04:16.719 --> 01:04:19.760
bringing on, I have a I
have the Northern European milk gut,

930
01:04:20.000 --> 01:04:25.679
so I'm not really my stomach's ironclad. I can handle it. That you

931
01:04:25.760 --> 01:04:30.000
are. You are just really,
really really begging for it at this point,

932
01:04:30.039 --> 01:04:31.039
sir. I hope it goes well
for you, but this feels like

933
01:04:31.119 --> 01:04:36.719
no upside in all the downside at
show Me Hawk. Very interesting conference realignment

934
01:04:36.800 --> 01:04:41.679
news going on recently I've heard rumors
that the SEC is going to reject Florida

935
01:04:41.760 --> 01:04:45.639
State. Perhaps in a scenario where
the ACC implodes, should the Big twelve

936
01:04:45.679 --> 01:04:48.519
go after Duke, North Carolina,
Louisville, et cetera. I mean,

937
01:04:49.119 --> 01:04:54.400
yeah, Florida State. I mean, if football's the name of the game,

938
01:04:54.480 --> 01:04:58.159
Florida State's better than those three.
I'm still over the conference re alignment

939
01:04:58.159 --> 01:05:00.239
talk, but let's just get to
the inn where we have a thirty two

940
01:05:00.280 --> 01:05:04.159
team super conference where all the best
football teams are playing each other and the

941
01:05:04.199 --> 01:05:09.480
rest of us can just get back
to our regional conferences. Like a conference

942
01:05:09.519 --> 01:05:14.599
re alignment is so stupid because it's
literally controlled, Like Fox re alignment is

943
01:05:14.800 --> 01:05:19.000
fascinating. Fox and ESPN completely control
every single decision. So I mean,

944
01:05:19.159 --> 01:05:25.400
like, I guess it's cool to
see like the normalcy implode, like teams

945
01:05:25.440 --> 01:05:28.840
get screwed, but like I mean, it's essentially going to turn into the

946
01:05:28.920 --> 01:05:31.639
NFL's you know, development league kind
of like then with that, right,

947
01:05:32.440 --> 01:05:36.840
So yeah, we're just we're just
we're sparreling towards the inevitable. Like it

948
01:05:36.920 --> 01:05:42.960
is, all TV contracts and all
ESPN and Fox making pulling the strings.

949
01:05:43.000 --> 01:05:48.079
So you know the conference conference alignment
was dead the moment Conference re alignment was

950
01:05:48.079 --> 01:05:53.360
dead, the moment that the regionality
ended the first round. So at what

951
01:05:53.400 --> 01:05:57.239
point does the SEC wake up and
say, we don't need or want Vanderbilt

952
01:05:57.280 --> 01:06:00.400
in our conference anymore. We want
Miami. That's fair. You could say

953
01:06:00.400 --> 01:06:01.880
the same thing about most Big Ten
teams, though, I mean, yeah,

954
01:06:01.920 --> 01:06:08.360
I know, and the SEC presidents
probably don't want FSU in the conference.

955
01:06:08.400 --> 01:06:11.599
Yeah, and they so like I
mean again, it all comes down

956
01:06:11.639 --> 01:06:15.159
to the Fox and ESPN. They're
calling the shots. What a great world

957
01:06:15.199 --> 01:06:18.719
we live in at Preston Skersik.
Do we think this Timberlake game will be

958
01:06:18.840 --> 01:06:23.400
like that random twenty point YESIFU game
last year? I'm hoping not. But

959
01:06:23.440 --> 01:06:26.519
both guys want to get go.
Want both our guys we want to get

960
01:06:26.559 --> 01:06:29.239
going. Boy, that's a real
negative way to word it. Very well

961
01:06:29.320 --> 01:06:31.719
could be. I think that Timberlake
has way better of a track record than

962
01:06:31.800 --> 01:06:35.119
yes If who ever did, And
I continue to have more optimism and Timberlake

963
01:06:35.199 --> 01:06:40.880
right now than I ever did after
Joe YESAFU started playing at Kansas correct,

964
01:06:42.039 --> 01:06:45.719
But I hope that that's not the
case. Bonus who would win five to

965
01:06:45.719 --> 01:06:50.119
one Harris's who may never shoot,
versus five ku Charlie Moore's who would shoot

966
01:06:50.159 --> 01:06:57.480
in volumes but only between ten and
twenty percent. That's that's painful. Charlie

967
01:06:57.519 --> 01:07:00.760
Moore would be Caleb Love on steroids
and he would they'll lose, Like,

968
01:07:00.119 --> 01:07:03.519
well, the Dewan Harrison probably wouldn't
shoot, so it'd be pretty easy to

969
01:07:03.519 --> 01:07:08.639
outscore Landon. Who would win five
to one Harris is or five ku Charlie

970
01:07:08.679 --> 01:07:13.000
Moore's Dewan Harris Because he could guard
Charlie Moore, he would only need to

971
01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:17.599
score like ten points and he'd win. Yeah, exactly at Ryan underscore Landrith.

972
01:07:18.039 --> 01:07:24.280
If given the choice between shipping his
family directly to Africa or dating an

973
01:07:24.320 --> 01:07:30.079
attractive bronze women with a tattoo sleeve, how quickly would Nick pack his family's

974
01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:34.000
bags and upgrade their boarding passes on
their flights to Zimbabwe? Hey, kids,

975
01:07:34.000 --> 01:07:42.079
we're going on a mission. Ship
pack of bags, kids, kids

976
01:07:42.079 --> 01:07:45.840
with who I'll ship the woman with
the kids to Africa? Hope they got

977
01:07:45.880 --> 01:07:49.559
their malaria shots. Sir, you
have to say that, Oh my gosh,

978
01:07:49.719 --> 01:07:53.719
that's for the reference. I would
totally take the girl, like I

979
01:07:54.119 --> 01:07:57.679
don't hate tattoos. Why all you
have to do is think that normal things

980
01:07:57.719 --> 01:08:00.000
are attractive and we won't get ourselves
into trouble. I'll take the woman any

981
01:08:00.079 --> 01:08:06.920
day. Kids have fun, have
fun in Africa. Oh that's funny.

982
01:08:08.159 --> 01:08:12.000
But what if she has a tribal
sleeve like to a tag of Lowes small

983
01:08:12.000 --> 01:08:14.199
tattoo? I mean, I don't, I don't care, like that's fine?

984
01:08:14.239 --> 01:08:16.000
Like that, Okay, that's the
deal breaker. I gotta pass for

985
01:08:16.079 --> 01:08:21.319
you. Let me inspect your arms
first. I'm gonna take your pants off,

986
01:08:21.319 --> 01:08:25.199
but not for the reason you think. I will say that. Cam

987
01:08:25.319 --> 01:08:29.880
Lipple liked that tweet within seconds of
me submitting it eight hours ago. He

988
01:08:30.000 --> 01:08:31.760
was ready for that. So Cam, I'm glad that that we can We

989
01:08:31.800 --> 01:08:35.159
can go after each other. I
didn't see that Cam asked the nick questions,

990
01:08:35.159 --> 01:08:40.479
so I had to jump in there
and ask at Travius ninety nine.

991
01:08:40.880 --> 01:08:44.800
Does it feel like in the first
half of games the Jayhawks are just experimenting

992
01:08:44.840 --> 01:08:47.159
with schemes and lineups, then after
they don't work, they turn it on.

993
01:08:47.239 --> 01:08:49.359
Yeah. I think it's kind of
the point of non con games where

994
01:08:49.359 --> 01:08:55.520
you're a double digit favorite too.
Yeah, I think they're screwing around like

995
01:08:55.560 --> 01:08:59.640
they probably would have beaten teams like
Eastern Illinois and UMKC by more than they

996
01:08:59.640 --> 01:09:02.000
did if self played his best five
guys for thirty eight minutes. But the

997
01:09:02.039 --> 01:09:05.000
point of this is to see what
you have with Nick Timberlake and guys like

998
01:09:05.079 --> 01:09:09.680
that, so it's ultimately they're gonna
win regardless. I do think that's correct

999
01:09:09.720 --> 01:09:13.119
though. All right, here's a
good question. Last question from at Chai

1000
01:09:13.600 --> 01:09:17.119
and then two eyes in villain like
the chillin villain. But the eyes in

1001
01:09:17.239 --> 01:09:20.880
chillin are or excuse me, the
l's and chillin are like the Roman numeral

1002
01:09:20.920 --> 01:09:25.840
for two. What is the best
and what is the worst lineup this year?

1003
01:09:26.000 --> 01:09:28.800
That's an interesting question. We haven't
talked about this yet. Well,

1004
01:09:28.840 --> 01:09:31.039
we know the worst line up includes
the one Harrison and Marco Jackson in the

1005
01:09:31.039 --> 01:09:39.399
same rotation. It's gonna say the
worst one is probably Harris Jackson, Brown,

1006
01:09:39.920 --> 01:09:45.520
Timberlake and somebody else. Anything Yeah, anything with Dickinson and mccullor both

1007
01:09:45.560 --> 01:09:49.560
out. Yeah, who kau fans
would be like, oh, thank god

1008
01:09:49.640 --> 01:09:56.560
Hunter's on the bench to watch.
Yeah exactly. Yeah, forget all those

1009
01:09:56.600 --> 01:10:00.359
twenty points and twelve rebounds. At
least we'll actually see guys jumping for rebounds.

1010
01:10:02.119 --> 01:10:06.279
You don't have to when you can
touch the rafters with the ony tiptoes.

1011
01:10:08.239 --> 01:10:13.199
I think their best lineup right now, Their best lineup right now is

1012
01:10:13.239 --> 01:10:17.439
the one they start, and that
is variable by switching out Jackson with Furfey

1013
01:10:17.439 --> 01:10:21.800
and Timberlake. Those three are all
really close, but undoubtedly their best four

1014
01:10:21.960 --> 01:10:27.640
lineups are the ones with the normal
four guys in there and then a rotating

1015
01:10:27.640 --> 01:10:32.760
two guard correct, definitively correct.
Anytime you take one of the big four

1016
01:10:32.800 --> 01:10:39.880
out that the floor plummets. Even
though I will say an interesting lineup is

1017
01:10:39.960 --> 01:10:44.680
el Marco Jackson at the point,
surrounded by mccohler, Timberlake, Adams and

1018
01:10:44.720 --> 01:10:47.399
Dickinson. I like watching that.
That team feels fast. Yeah, that

1019
01:10:47.520 --> 01:10:53.640
is interesting. If Jackson could actually
score on his own, or Timberlakes or

1020
01:10:53.680 --> 01:10:57.439
Furfey for that matter, could could
consistently knock down threes, I would like

1021
01:10:57.479 --> 01:10:59.920
that line up a lot more.
Yeah. I was gonna say, like

1022
01:11:00.079 --> 01:11:02.319
for fear, Timberlake, whoever is
shooting better, with Jackson as the point,

1023
01:11:02.359 --> 01:11:06.359
and then Dickinson, mccollar and Adams
down low, that would intrigue me

1024
01:11:06.399 --> 01:11:10.159
a little bit but self loves Harris
too much to not play him for more

1025
01:11:10.199 --> 01:11:13.199
than a few minutes at a time, and rightfully so. The guy is

1026
01:11:13.239 --> 01:11:15.199
a very good player. All right. That's it. If you ever have

1027
01:11:15.199 --> 01:11:20.680
any ask ARCBS, use a Twitter
hashtag ask RCB. All right, now,

1028
01:11:21.000 --> 01:11:24.359
we're gonna preview a game, and
it feels like it should be more

1029
01:11:24.359 --> 01:11:29.039
exciting than it is. It's Wichita
State versus Number two Kansas on the Saturday

1030
01:11:29.039 --> 01:11:31.399
after Christmas, December thirtieth, at
three pm, and it is at the

1031
01:11:31.439 --> 01:11:35.920
T Mobiles Center. Jayhawks returning they
didn't play a game here in the non

1032
01:11:35.960 --> 01:11:41.640
conslate last year. They returned for
their annual Sprint Center, T Mobile Center,

1033
01:11:41.680 --> 01:11:46.279
whatever it's called matchup. The Wichita
State Shakers of the American Athletic Conference

1034
01:11:46.439 --> 01:11:50.600
enter at eight and four. Overall. The best wins are Saint Louis and

1035
01:11:50.800 --> 01:11:55.560
Richmond. Teams that West Virginia might
not be able to beat. Their losses

1036
01:11:55.600 --> 01:12:00.600
are Liberty, Missouri, South Dakota
State, and Kansas State. So a

1037
01:12:00.680 --> 01:12:05.720
very mixed bag of schedule for the
Shockers. Yeah, wing Koby Rodgers leads

1038
01:12:05.760 --> 01:12:11.279
the team with seventeen points and shoots
forty two percent from three. He's easily

1039
01:12:11.520 --> 01:12:15.319
their best player to set up well
with looks from point guard Harland Beverly.

1040
01:12:15.560 --> 01:12:18.600
There's also guard zaber Bell, who
has fifteen points and is your prototypical slasher

1041
01:12:18.680 --> 01:12:21.399
to the basket. The front court
doesn't have the same production, but six

1042
01:12:21.479 --> 01:12:26.039
to ten Kenny Poto from Sweden leads
the way down low with twelve points and

1043
01:12:26.079 --> 01:12:28.520
eight rebounds. Starting senter Quincy bout
is six to eleven. It shoots a

1044
01:12:28.520 --> 01:12:31.840
goo percentage, adding seven and seven
per night. Yeah, which the state's

1045
01:12:31.920 --> 01:12:35.159
kind of a weird one. They're
very good rebounding, which whenever you got

1046
01:12:35.560 --> 01:12:39.399
two six to ten guys that start
down low, they got good height,

1047
01:12:39.920 --> 01:12:43.319
then that tells you that why that's
the case. They average forty four rebounds

1048
01:12:43.319 --> 01:12:45.319
per game, which is eleventh in
the country as of recording this. They're

1049
01:12:45.319 --> 01:12:48.399
excellent at guarding the three point line. They shoot a lot of twos,

1050
01:12:48.479 --> 01:12:51.560
they barely take any threes. It
shows because they only shoot thirty one percent

1051
01:12:51.560 --> 01:12:55.079
from out there. Some teams don't
take a lot of threes but shoot a

1052
01:12:55.079 --> 01:12:58.479
pretty good percentage, like Kansas,
which TA State barely shoots it at all

1053
01:12:58.479 --> 01:13:01.000
and it barely goes in the basket. The weaknesses for this theme include lots

1054
01:13:01.000 --> 01:13:05.560
of fouling, turning it over plenty, and a mediocre offense. Feels like

1055
01:13:05.600 --> 01:13:10.319
a game where if Kansas scored sounds
like, well, yeah it's KU,

1056
01:13:10.359 --> 01:13:14.000
but worse sounds like a game that
if KU scores seventy points. I think

1057
01:13:14.000 --> 01:13:19.840
it's going to be a really hard
time to see them losing Kansas in whichdon

1058
01:13:19.920 --> 01:13:25.159
state they've played fifteen times and the
Jayhawks have won twelve of them. They've

1059
01:13:25.199 --> 01:13:28.960
only played once since nineteen ninety three, and that was a twenty fifteen NCAA

1060
01:13:29.039 --> 01:13:34.840
tournament game that saw Evan Wessel upset. Rob Baker was there as well.

1061
01:13:35.479 --> 01:13:40.439
I'm trying to the original white guys
of the game candidates too. That was

1062
01:13:40.479 --> 01:13:46.600
awful that that trash bag played like
five years of college ball and he only

1063
01:13:46.680 --> 01:13:51.760
made four threes once. And it
was that day that curly headed. They

1064
01:13:51.760 --> 01:13:57.560
had Evans and also had a weasel
for a coach and greg greg Garry Marshall.

1065
01:13:58.680 --> 01:14:01.239
Yeah, I think self. I
think self is more willing to play

1066
01:14:01.239 --> 01:14:06.600
which toss state now that Gregor Marshall
has been thrown out for I think hitting

1067
01:14:06.640 --> 01:14:12.600
players? Is that right? It
was something really bad? Yeah, do

1068
01:14:12.640 --> 01:14:16.560
you guys know who which toss dates
coaches. It was that one, Like,

1069
01:14:17.960 --> 01:14:23.079
is it the interim they hired after
Marshall or is there a new guy

1070
01:14:23.119 --> 01:14:26.800
in there? No, they just
hired somebody new this year. It is

1071
01:14:27.039 --> 01:14:31.800
chat gpt generated name Paul Mills.
He is the He is the coach.

1072
01:14:32.279 --> 01:14:36.640
He was an Oral Roberts assistant last
year. No, he was a former

1073
01:14:36.680 --> 01:14:41.239
Baylor assistant under coach Drew for sixteen
years. He was the head coach at

1074
01:14:41.359 --> 01:14:44.239
Oral Roberts. And anytime you can
get somebody at Oral Roberts, you should

1075
01:14:44.279 --> 01:14:46.279
hire him. Look at Bill Self. So maybe maybe Paul Mills is the

1076
01:14:46.279 --> 01:14:48.960
next Bill Self. You heard it
here first, all right, predict this

1077
01:14:49.079 --> 01:14:54.319
game Jayhawks. In a very lackluster
slate of games this week, in case

1078
01:14:54.359 --> 01:14:58.640
those Pickham games that we're gonna go
through aren't enough of an indication, We're

1079
01:14:58.680 --> 01:15:01.960
here to predict this sleepwalker of a
game. I will say seventy six to

1080
01:15:02.119 --> 01:15:08.520
sixty three, and your prototypical I'm
gonna fall asleep watching this at the T

1081
01:15:08.680 --> 01:15:15.520
Mobile Center game. Uh yeah,
I think that's almost exactly correct. I

1082
01:15:15.520 --> 01:15:23.039
will say Kansas wins seventy five to
sixty two in a game that was pretty

1083
01:15:23.079 --> 01:15:27.640
close for a while that shouldn't be, and then they turn it on Happy

1084
01:15:27.680 --> 01:15:30.520
New Year. Kansas wins by thirteen. Yeah, I'm gonna say Kansas wins

1085
01:15:30.520 --> 01:15:34.319
this game eighty one to sixty four. I think they get a Kushny seventeen

1086
01:15:34.359 --> 01:15:41.800
point win at a head into the
New Year. So Mills was the coach

1087
01:15:41.960 --> 01:15:45.000
of that Oral Roberts team that took
them on that crazy run where they were

1088
01:15:45.039 --> 01:15:47.359
a fifteen seed and went to the
second weekend. Right, that would have

1089
01:15:47.399 --> 01:15:54.359
been that was Oral Roberts back a
few years ago, making that up.

1090
01:15:54.680 --> 01:15:57.399
That happened the team at beat Ohio
State, Right, yeah, I think

1091
01:15:57.439 --> 01:16:00.920
so? Yeah, there you go
at which Toss says, I'll have some

1092
01:16:00.960 --> 01:16:04.239
of that sweet Let's see if he
can beat Kansas. All right, other

1093
01:16:04.359 --> 01:16:09.960
games, these games are lousy,
So enjoy what should be four dubs.

1094
01:16:10.039 --> 01:16:15.720
Number four Arizona at California. Anybody
want to feel that the Golden Bears?

1095
01:16:15.880 --> 01:16:19.760
Anybody feeling that one? I am
not feeling. Give me the Guinea Arizona,

1096
01:16:20.039 --> 01:16:25.000
Yeah I don't think so. Number
soon to be unranked Virginia at Notre

1097
01:16:25.119 --> 01:16:28.439
Dame. Anybody feeling and the mic
brays not even there anymore? Anybody thinking

1098
01:16:28.520 --> 01:16:30.479
this. I mean, it's gonna
be a disgusting game. Virginia wins fifty

1099
01:16:30.520 --> 01:16:35.840
six to three. Yeah, that
feels right, yep, Gross number twelve,

1100
01:16:35.840 --> 01:16:40.199
Creighton at number six, Marquettes.
Somebody's trying to avoid losing two Big

1101
01:16:40.239 --> 01:16:43.960
East games before the calendar even hits
twenty twenty four. Who's it gonna be?

1102
01:16:45.000 --> 01:16:47.239
I think Marquette wins. I think
so too. You're right, and

1103
01:16:47.279 --> 01:16:51.640
then Duke, with the opportunity to
play, you know, one last test

1104
01:16:51.720 --> 01:16:59.439
before ACC plays starts, they welcome
Queen's University into Cameron Indoor. Enjoy your

1105
01:16:59.760 --> 01:17:02.720
what should be three free wins or
four free wins, and then Marquette should

1106
01:17:02.720 --> 01:17:05.640
win. I don't know, should
be an easy one, right, I

1107
01:17:05.760 --> 01:17:09.520
certainly hope. So I'm gonna say
Queen's is gonna win this game? Just

1108
01:17:09.560 --> 01:17:15.000
kidding your pick you pick them?
Update Nick fifty six points, first place,

1109
01:17:15.439 --> 01:17:20.199
Ryan fifty six points, also first
place, landing up to forty nine

1110
01:17:20.239 --> 01:17:24.000
points. You've closed the gap.
You were nine behind, You're now seven

1111
01:17:24.079 --> 01:17:27.279
behind, sir. That should give
you a nice early Christmas present. You're

1112
01:17:27.319 --> 01:17:30.640
within you're within three possessions. Yay, I get to blow pick them later

1113
01:17:30.680 --> 01:17:38.319
this year. So next show will
come out at some point after Christmas,

1114
01:17:38.359 --> 01:17:42.960
sometime during the week, I'm sure, unless something apocalyptic happens, and then

1115
01:17:43.000 --> 01:17:46.199
I'll go directly to these two houses
and we'll do an immediate cans. I

1116
01:17:46.199 --> 01:17:48.479
guess no, it won't matter.
They don't play which test states laugh,

1117
01:17:48.520 --> 01:17:51.960
you're Christmas, So it's gonna it's
gonna be a yeah, no way.

1118
01:17:53.199 --> 01:17:55.640
So we're not doing a show this
week. We're not doing We're not doing

1119
01:17:55.640 --> 01:17:58.960
a show for a long time.
Yeah, you know, we're not all

1120
01:17:59.000 --> 01:18:04.640
right, probably doing a show either
early New Year's Eve or sometime New Year's

1121
01:18:05.039 --> 01:18:08.680
Yes, because I totally want to
spend my New Year's Eve bringing the New

1122
01:18:08.760 --> 01:18:13.199
year doing this podcast. Well,
you've spent plenty of years doing this podcast.

1123
01:18:13.279 --> 01:18:16.479
What's one more New Year's Eve with
Inside the Paint. You're right,

1124
01:18:16.520 --> 01:18:20.640
this is gonna be my final calendar
year Inside the Paint. So and what

1125
01:18:20.800 --> 01:18:25.359
better way to do that than by
spending the last hours of this year by

1126
01:18:25.920 --> 01:18:29.560
answering questions about how you would never
consider dating a woman with an arm tat

1127
01:18:32.359 --> 01:18:38.119
I landon, I feel like you
and I is bullying has peer pressured Nick

1128
01:18:38.199 --> 01:18:42.359
into seeing that tattoos can be kind
of hot. Low key, yeah,

1129
01:18:42.479 --> 01:18:45.319
I think sometimes not even low key. Sometimes just on the surface, they

1130
01:18:45.359 --> 01:18:51.159
just they just are a small one. Maybe if I can. And Landon

1131
01:18:51.279 --> 01:18:55.640
is still by the way, Nick, if you're starting to think tattoos are

1132
01:18:55.640 --> 01:18:59.479
sexy, well, Landon has to
get one soon because he promised that if

1133
01:18:59.560 --> 01:19:02.720
Kansas he won that twenty twenty two
title, he would get Bill Zelve's face

1134
01:19:02.760 --> 01:19:09.840
on his butt. He did.
Sounds horrible in so many ways. Yeah,

1135
01:19:10.279 --> 01:19:15.560
you remember saying that, you yeah, yeah, and they just hurt

1136
01:19:15.560 --> 01:19:18.159
for you can just get one of
those temporary tattoos. That's so long to

1137
01:19:18.199 --> 01:19:21.520
have Bill Self's face on my butt. Hey, it's not as long as

1138
01:19:21.520 --> 01:19:26.880
forever, which is what you promised. That's true, That's true. That

1139
01:19:26.960 --> 01:19:30.159
was definitely for sure serious. Everyone
took it that way. I think that

1140
01:19:30.199 --> 01:19:33.119
it would it would suit you,
well, that'd be a great first tattoo

1141
01:19:33.359 --> 01:19:39.439
to get. Seventy years from now
you would be buried in a in your

1142
01:19:39.560 --> 01:19:45.520
casket and Bill Self would still be
there on your body. Sir, Yeah,

1143
01:19:45.560 --> 01:19:47.760
that that is upsetting. I don't
think I want that. Bill Self

1144
01:19:47.800 --> 01:19:51.359
is not a good enough guy to
earn that. I don't think. Oh,

1145
01:19:51.479 --> 01:19:55.359
don't you say that, sir.
Don't you tweet that either people are

1146
01:19:55.399 --> 01:19:59.239
gonna cancel you on elon, Hey, the pain in your butt when they

1147
01:19:59.279 --> 01:20:00.359
lose in the Sweet six team this
year. You can just go look at

1148
01:20:00.359 --> 01:20:04.159
your butt in the bathroom and see
it, hey, or a pain in

1149
01:20:04.199 --> 01:20:08.359
your ass? Look at that?
You know you could. You could go

1150
01:20:08.439 --> 01:20:14.119
full circle all the way back.
It's happening. Hey, I can say

1151
01:20:14.119 --> 01:20:16.920
that stupid joke. Hey, Nick
one quickly about tattoos. Maybe you can

1152
01:20:17.000 --> 01:20:21.000
too. This is Inside the Paint
