WEBVTT

1
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:27.280
Just running another oppensive set. Oh
look, okay, Caryer can't possibly make

2
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:37.439
another one at least this one at
the end of the shot clock in a

3
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:46.399
heat. Oh it Bank did Bud
that I've never seen them almost as bad

4
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:54.520
as like a butt that season.
You know, man, I don't know

5
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.560
how long it's gonna go, but
when they lose like that, Yeah,

6
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:02.880
this is how long the cake did
felt. Bill self said that he was

7
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:07.879
hoping that they wouldn't even play.
All right, I guess that's kind of

8
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.560
where it faced. Wow. Well, yeah, if if you make it,

9
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:14.239
if you made it through that,
if you made it through the KU

10
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.439
game, then that that minute and
seven second should have been child's play,

11
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:21.879
right, that was? That was
much better? Oh good lord, because

12
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.799
just an I added a bunch of
stuff to the board today and it messed

13
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:30.480
up like all of my like the
the locations because they're in alphabetical order,

14
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.359
so now they've all been rearranged a
bit, so like that the places I'm

15
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.519
used to looking. For instance,
if I wanted to push car Crash you

16
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.560
frequently I do. Yeah, it's
now in the spot where Chariots of Fire

17
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:48.480
is, So it's it's gonna be
a little bit dicey for me on the

18
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.760
board today. But it's not like
it's not it's not for me to let

19
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:56.640
my produce production as a producer fall
off or anything. So you know,

20
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:02.120
we'll we'll see. Yeah, So
that was a mess that didn't that didn't

21
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:06.319
go like how we hoped it would. It became funny at a certain point.

22
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:08.680
Yeah, that's what Cam W.
Lippoldt said. He said, at

23
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:14.240
some point, it's just kind of
fun to see how much they're gonna lose

24
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:19.599
by. Yeah. Yeah, it
just becomes its own form of statistic entertainment.

25
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:24.800
And it was because Kansas. You
and I were texting during halftime and

26
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.599
Nick was like, you know,
they might still be able to win with

27
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:32.439
a run, and I said,
if Houston scores ten second half points,

28
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:37.479
they have enough to win. And
it turns out they didn't even need ten.

29
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:39.199
They only needed to score six points
in the second half to win,

30
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:46.080
which you know, damn damnit ass. That's that's that sequence. This is

31
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.759
Inside the Pain on Rock Chok Blog
regular season finale, and oh what a

32
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.439
treat they cooked up for us to
talk about. I'm Ryan Landreth, I'm

33
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.319
wishing it was a different sports season. Nick is in a different state.

34
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.000
I think right now, I think
he's gonna this isn't his business trip,

35
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.759
this is his fun trip, right. I think that's right. So he's

36
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:07.919
out enjoying the wilderness while Kansas is
trying to avoid being cast out into the

37
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:14.280
wilderness for the worst performance in conference
play in many years. We're gonna,

38
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.840
we're gonna chat about that, and
then we're gonna talk about the Big Twelve

39
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:21.919
Awards, which do not feature a
lot of Jayhawk players. Unfortunately. That's

40
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:23.960
kind of sad. It's always more
fun when there's Jayhawks to be given out

41
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:29.919
hardware, not this zier. You
want to read what I titled the notes

42
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:34.599
for this particular episode, I'm out
of bleeps to give at this point,

43
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.719
I think, yep, And that's
true. That's that we're kind of at

44
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:39.719
the point. But then we're gonna
we're gonna talk about doom and gloom for

45
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:45.159
an hour, and then we're gonna
pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and pick

46
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:46.680
them to win the Big Twelve tournament. Right, that's how the show ends.

47
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:51.879
No, all right, let's let's
do for you. Let's do all

48
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:57.039
this. You're gonna get a marry
today. That's how Mad I am number

49
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:06.199
one, Houston seventy six, number
fourteen, Kansas forty six. I at

50
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:12.159
least thought they if you had said
before the game, how bad could this

51
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.480
possibly get? I think we would
have still predicted him to get to fifty,

52
00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:18.720
Like if you had been given a
piece of paper and been told before

53
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:23.360
the game, I just got back
from two hours into the future, it's

54
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:27.079
really bad. Right down the final
score prediction, I think I still would

55
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:29.920
have given them fifty. I think
I would have said like seventy one to

56
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.439
fifty one or something. And yeah, normally you get a game story.

57
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:38.399
There isn't one. Really, it
was the story Kansas got ran off the

58
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:41.720
court in the first ten minutes and
never looked back. Yep, they got

59
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:46.079
the story. They got their ass
kicked the whole time. It was not

60
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.000
within fifteen points at any point in
the final thirty minutes of the game,

61
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:53.720
Like they didn't make There wasn't even
that run that cuts it back, the

62
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:57.439
Villa Nova run that cuts it from
twenty two to twelve, and you're like,

63
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.000
ah, no, nothing, nothing
happened. It was. It was

64
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:04.800
just a dreadful basketball game. They
scored twenty or nineteen points in the first

65
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:08.680
half, and twenty seven in the
second half, and that gets you to

66
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.600
forty six. That's bad. I
did put together if you'd like to read

67
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:17.040
the statistics, kind of a highlight
package. If you will, I'll play

68
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:21.360
the music if you want to read
all the highlights from this game. Yeah

69
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:25.879
it highlights is a word you could
use to do this. All. Right,

70
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:29.680
here we go. Thirty three from
the floor shooting. That's bad.

71
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:35.920
Three for twenty one shooting threes.
That's infinitely worse. Eighteen turnovers, fifteen

72
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:40.839
total baskets, baby few was points
in a Big twelve game under the self

73
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:45.800
second course margin in a Big twelve
loss on yourself. Kevin mccullor didn't play

74
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:49.639
in the second half because his knees
hurt. Hunter Dickinson's arm fell out of

75
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:55.000
his socket, dis located his shoulder. They're getting an MRI on that at

76
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:59.920
some point on the day of recording. I think anything else other than you

77
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.199
they just they got absolutely clapped for
forty minutes. Oh the other thing that

78
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:06.120
you missed is that this is the
worst they've done in a Big twelve season

79
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:10.959
since nineteen eighty nine, when you
were negative eleven years old. Oh yeah,

80
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:13.439
there's that too. Yeah, so
but other than that, I think

81
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:15.839
you nailed it. I think you
nailed all of that. That absolutely awesome,

82
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:23.000
those awesome statistics that leave you sitting
back and just goat screw it.

83
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:27.600
Two and seven on the road,
two and seven, Yeah, and two

84
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.639
and oh in Oklahoma and oh and
seven everywhere else. That's not normal either,

85
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.600
that's usually the way around. Yeah, normally there's a loss or two

86
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.959
in the to the Oklahoma schools in
there. That's that's a bummer. How'd

87
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:41.480
they do in that state of Texas? Good, Lord, Agnes, that

88
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:45.600
was bad. They lost by twenty
nine in Lubbock, they lost by thirty

89
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.600
in Houston, and they lost by
enough in Waco. That's a lot of

90
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:54.240
points. Really bad, really bad. So Kansas is playing fort Worth,

91
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:58.439
Yeah, which probably wouldn't have gone
well if you're if you're being honest,

92
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.319
because look how else the non Oklahoma
road games, like, how well those

93
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:05.399
win? So yeah, the final
things you need to know, and this

94
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:09.360
recap is gonna be a little different. We were probably not going to go

95
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:13.720
through each player stats individually because there
just really isn't a lot to take away

96
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:15.759
from. So you said it'd be
doom and gloom for an hour and that's

97
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:19.800
generous by about thirty minutes. Probably. Yeah, there's just not enough here,

98
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.959
because this is a game that you
have to flush. You have no

99
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.480
choice. You can't flush it in
the sense that, oh that was a

100
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.399
fluke, that was a one off. No, they got blasted at the

101
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.079
number one team in the country.
And there isn't like the regular season is

102
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:38.920
now over. It's now win or
go home format the rest of the way.

103
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:42.560
And there just isn't a lot of
sense in recapping this because we didn't

104
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:46.920
learn anything about Kansas in this game. We didn't learn oh wow, they're

105
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:50.319
vulnerable. I didn't see that coming, Like they just got run off the

106
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:56.000
train tracks. They finished sixth in
the Big Twelve, which some tiebreakers like

107
00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:01.800
that. I think that sounds worse
than it is because though they were one

108
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:09.720
of those seven road losses away from
finishing third with tie breakers like three through

109
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.800
like ten in the Big twelve is
all about the same. But they did

110
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.879
finish in sixth place and the standings, and even if they got one of

111
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:22.000
those, I don't think that makes
you feel horribly different about this team at

112
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:26.040
this point. It doesn't. You're
you're not sitting there going well, hey,

113
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:28.439
they're the three seed in Kansas City. I feel great instead of they're

114
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:33.759
the sixth seed and I hate my
life. Kansas worst Big twelve season since

115
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:39.320
nineteen eighty nine. That spans twenty
previous Bill selfiears and fourteen Roy Williams years.

116
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.120
It's been thirty five years. You're
one of the roy era when they

117
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.799
were on probation. That is the
last time they had a season this poorly.

118
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.759
Also the last time they missed an
NCAA tournament according to our record books.

119
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:56.000
The ncaaa's record books show they missed
in twenty eighteen because it was vacated.

120
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.200
That's weird Final four hat from that
year. Huh. Yeah, And

121
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:03.080
you notice that the n did not
refund the money that they got from their

122
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:09.440
cut of those Final four merchandise,
right, And what's this? This is

123
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.279
a Ku Villanova Final four highlights voice
you don't remember those? That might be

124
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:18.840
a memory block or something else for
it list. It'll make you happy.

125
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.279
That and all the the adding to
the new soundboard. I did put this

126
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.360
on the board. Here we go. Here comes the two seeds big for

127
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:31.480
Kansas. I love that matchup.
Yeah, whoops a dood that was the

128
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.879
different year they lost to Villanova,
by the way, who lost also excited

129
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.200
about Orgon being the three seed.
Didn't put that one on the board because

130
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.879
screw it. I am not double
owning myself today. We have enough Kansas

131
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.000
owning to talk about. So yeah, I guess we'll kind of begin to

132
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.279
sort through this a little bit.
I just kind of grouped everyone together.

133
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.639
Let's lead off with the bigs.
I guess Hunter Dickinson let him in,

134
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.960
scoring eleven and six was his line. He was the only Jayhawk that scored

135
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.519
it in double figures. That I
don't think this was as bad as the

136
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:03.480
Kentucky game, just for any reason
than the fact that in that game their

137
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.240
leading scorer had nine and not eleven. kJ had nine and five and twenty

138
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.279
eight minutes. He was pretty active
early, just couldn't finish at the rim.

139
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:15.919
Parker Brown two points, ten relief
minutes, he was already on a

140
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:20.000
bad ankle. And then Dylan will
Hite he played six minutes at the center

141
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.000
and logged a foul. Imagine being
told that before the game, here's a

142
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:26.120
piece of paper and a pen.
Right the score. Patrick Cassidy and Dylan

143
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.639
will Hyde are playing the one in
the five in the last five minutes,

144
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.360
I might have flipped the score in
Kansas's favor. Yeah, it was.

145
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:37.679
It was bad. The obvious concern, though, is Dickinson right. He

146
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.679
leaves with a separated shoulder looked in. That's a big shoulder to dislocate.

147
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:45.879
They did pop it back into place. Per Self, He's getting an MRI

148
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.759
today on Sunday, so by the
time this podcast drops there should be a

149
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.039
little more of a status. Self
said he's questionable for the Big twelve tournament.

150
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:58.600
Wouldn't be a Big twelve tournament without
their best big getting hurt. Yeah,

151
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:03.159
would be an unfortunate tradition that they're
missing at least somebody for the Big

152
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.799
twelve Tournament in one capacity or another. Think about this Lawrence Area tail lights

153
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:13.720
last writing right Josh Jackson, but
last eleven seasons. Joelle Embiid hurts his

154
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.279
back right before the Big twelve Tournament. Cliff Alexander is ruled ineligible right before

155
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.120
the Big twelve Tournament. Josh Jackson
kicks a tail light out, misses the

156
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.360
opener of the Big twelfth Tournament.
They lose Udoka Azapooky sprains his knee in

157
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:31.679
practice, misses the Big twelve Tournament. Twenty was obviously the whole thing got

158
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.840
shut down. Twenty one David McCormick
gets COVID, misses the Big twelve Tournament.

159
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.600
Twenty twenty three the Coach's Heart gives
out, misses the Big twelve Tournament.

160
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:46.600
And this year Hunter Dickinson separates his
shoulder questionable at best for the Big

161
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:50.000
twelve Tournament. That's amazing. That's
almost impossible. Yeah, that is actually

162
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.679
pretty wild. Stat Like, that's
pretty crazy. Uh yeah, I mean

163
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:54.679
the rest of the season obviously hinges
on this. I don't know if it

164
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.480
matters, and I hope pretty much
gone. I don't I don't have any

165
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.360
there's nothing really left that I there's
no expectations I have left for Kansas this

166
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.679
year, but I'm in. Admittedly, with Hunter Dickinson on neutral floors,

167
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.960
there's still a relatively high ceiling team. But yeah, if he's done,

168
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.799
there's nothing there. There's no hope. If he's out, obviously, I

169
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.200
don't think he'll be out for the
Marsh Madness. I bet he'll try to

170
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:20.759
go if he can. If it's
they did say they popped it back in,

171
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:24.519
which is good. Who knows,
who knows, But yeah, if

172
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:26.360
he is out, that's it.
That's wrap. It's probably wrap anyway,

173
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:31.559
because I think this team is pretty
pretty bad for Kansas standards. But if

174
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.279
they have McCuller and Dickinson healthy,
which I don't know how you can look

175
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:39.120
at the current state of the roster
and think that's in any way likely right

176
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:41.960
now, but you know, you
never know. If Dickinson and mccullar are

177
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.720
healthy, I think they have a
decent shot to make the second weekend.

178
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.519
And if you make the second weekend
and you'll let Bill self have those five

179
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:54.919
days of prep time where he's very
good in the sweet sixteen, and you

180
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:58.320
get a good draw, anything can
happen. I don't think then making a

181
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.440
deep run is out of the question, but it is out of the question

182
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.639
if they don't have both of those
guys, both of them and McCuller,

183
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.440
who we'll talk about. He didn't
even play in the second half because he

184
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.200
I don't know if he tweaked his
knee or if he was hurting himself,

185
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:15.240
just said, okay, that's it. I'm not playing him. Of course,

186
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:16.840
did stop him from saying, hey, we're down by twenty five.

187
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.000
But a hunter go out there and
run around like I don't get that,

188
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.879
like you were kind of asking for
it. I think he also said that

189
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:30.519
what happens with one of them could
affect the other one, Like if mccullor

190
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:35.080
is in pain but can go and
Dickinson can't, I wonder if that changes

191
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.720
the way they're like, well,
we have to have players, so Kevin,

192
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:43.200
you have to play. But at
this point, I don't know they

193
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.519
need both of them. And Dickinson
looked like he was in agony too.

194
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.600
That was just brutally got his arm
and he said they popped it back in

195
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:56.039
place, which from everything this is
me listening to a lot of Kansas post

196
00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.919
game on the radio, people have
said because they got it back in place

197
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.440
pretty quickly, that helps, But
the threat is couldn't pop back out and

198
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:09.799
nobody really That's why I wonder if
he won't play in the Big twelve tournament,

199
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:15.639
is just because it was so fresh. Now again, severity is probably

200
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:20.360
like, I mean, that's obviously
completely what this comes down to. But

201
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.200
if it's a little bit worse than
the most minimum it could be, I

202
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.279
mean, it's still a dislocated shoulder, then I do wonder if he'll sit

203
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:33.759
out and they'll just take their lumps
and see what they can do, you

204
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.759
know, coming up, because also
there's a chance he comes back next year,

205
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.840
and you'd much rather have a guy
without a history of dislocating his shoulder

206
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.200
multiple times, right, Yeah,
And we don't know if this has happened

207
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.159
to him before. We don't know
if he's ever had a dislocated shoulder like

208
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.399
he could have had him in high
school or even at Michigan. That was

209
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:56.360
just kind of like kept out of
the puppet because it didn't happen in a

210
00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:00.720
game, so it wasn't super public
knowledge like we don't no, But once

211
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:03.159
you do it the first time,
the odds of reinjury are very high.

212
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:07.320
So yeah, they're gonna be pretty
careful. And they obviously they only have

213
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:09.799
four days of rest. Normally they
have five days because they're normally a bye

214
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:15.799
to the Thursday round. I want
to talk about Houston though, because my

215
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:20.000
take on Houston at the beginning of
the year was that they're a good basketball

216
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:24.039
team that's not immune from losing seven
Big Twelve games, and that was a

217
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:30.000
bad take. In terms of execution, Houston's brilliant. They won fifteen Big

218
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:33.840
Twelve games. They've won one or
they've lost one of their last what like

219
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.600
fourteen Big Twelve games? Just pick
yeah, OK, yeah, they've won.

220
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.360
They've won fourteen of fifteen. I
think because they started one and two

221
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:46.240
and they're a wagon. Undoubtedly,
but I don't think that the premise behind

222
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:52.120
that take was terrible considering everybody in
the Big Twelve besides Houston and a kind

223
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.600
of flukey Iowa State run, like
the third best team in the Big Twelve,

224
00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:58.799
lost seven games. So my theory
that the Big Twelve was gonna beat

225
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:03.120
each each other up is valid.
But I underestimated just how good Houston was

226
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:07.240
and how good of a fit they
are in this conference. Whereas we saw

227
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:11.519
teams like Cincinnati and Central Florida and
BYU struggle to get acclimated at times,

228
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.600
Houston looked like they were the ones
that were used to this conference and the

229
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:22.039
teams around them were getting acclimated to
it. My take watching Houston who I

230
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:25.600
like. I don't have any disdain
for the for Houston or their fans or

231
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:29.919
anything. They're just a fun team
to watch. That team is exactly and

232
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:33.879
you pointed this out, that's exactly
who we thought Kansas would be this year.

233
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:37.320
Houston is the reverse. Yes,
yeah, exactly. Well, I

234
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:41.600
don't know. We thought Kansas this
year would be an elite defensive team.

235
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:47.200
Houston checks that box. We thought
that Kansas this year would be dynamite inside

236
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:51.000
the arc. Houston checks that box. We thought that Houston this year or

237
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:56.799
Kansas this year would outscrap and out
hustle teams to they would they would play

238
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:02.799
hard because they're well coached. That's
what Houston does. We thought that Kansas

239
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:07.920
would just crush people at home,
it's what Houston did. That like watching

240
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:12.559
Houston play the way and you see
this and it sounds cliche, but they

241
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:17.839
really do get eighty percent of the
fifty to fifty balls. They're up twenty

242
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:21.759
and they're diving on everything like it's
like it's the last play the final four.

243
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.440
It is impressive to watch. And
that team is a juggernaut. I

244
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:30.559
have not been more impressed with a
Big twelve team that did not eventually win

245
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:37.720
the championship, therefore eliminating the Baylor
twenty one juggernaut that I don't I can't

246
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:41.519
remember the last time I was this
impressed with a Big twelve team other than

247
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:45.319
that one that was a few of
the most recent Baylor teams obviously, especially

248
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.640
that one because that team was psycho. But uh, yeah, they're really

249
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:52.519
good. I do think the reverse
is true insofar as as you were saying,

250
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:57.839
going into the year, you and
I especially very much thought that Houston

251
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:00.880
was good. No one ever doubted
that Houston was a good one. We

252
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:04.079
thought they were a top ten team. Well, yeah, we I think

253
00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:07.799
all three of us picked them at
least in the top three or four of

254
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:10.839
the Big Twelve. And yeah,
we all thought they were, you know,

255
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:14.279
definitely a top ten and picking them
fourth, by the way, picking

256
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:17.359
them fourth or third was like a
game out of first, like we thought

257
00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:22.079
it would just be a log jam. Yeah, but we did think that

258
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:26.640
they would struggle to go on the
road consistently in the Big Twelve and pull

259
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.440
out wins, and then that's exactly
what happened to Kansas. So from that

260
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:34.880
perspective, I think that's where I
think versus also true. Kansas is who

261
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:40.559
we thought Houston, yep, would
be a team that was really good at

262
00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:42.880
home and would win you know,
most, if not all their games at

263
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:48.839
home and be very solid and just
maybe struggle on a ninth to night basis

264
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:51.680
on the road in the Big Twelve. Because that's really hard to do.

265
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:56.799
And then Kansas obviously very very much
struggled on a night to night basis on

266
00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:00.279
the road in the Big Twelve,
and that's pretty unfortunate. And I think

267
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:06.400
that Houston so I've heard Bill Soe
said Houston could absolutely win it all if

268
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:10.319
the tournament. If I knew right
now that every game in the NCAA Tournament

269
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:14.000
would be called the same way,
I would pick Houston to win. I

270
00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:18.039
think that they're going to struggle.
I said, if they played Purdue,

271
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.799
Zachie, he's gonna shoot a hundred
free throws because they they are very those

272
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:26.599
of you familiar with the NFL.
The twenty thirteen Seattle Seahawks, the team

273
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:30.200
that just crushed the Broncos in the
Super Bowl. As a Chiefs fan land

274
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:34.039
and was rooting for the Broncos,
it's disgusting. Go Peytons, as they

275
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:37.759
basically said, everyone was like,
all they do is hold, And they

276
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.519
asked them after the that era was
over and they said, yeah, our

277
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:45.039
strategy was to hold every time because
they're not gonna call it every time.

278
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:48.799
I think Houston kind of does the
same thing. They foul a lot,

279
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:52.960
only some of it's called because you
just can't call it. Every time NCAA

280
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:57.039
tournament refs will say, hold my
beer, I'll absolutely call every one of

281
00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:00.720
them. So I think Houston is
going to be susceptible to the way those

282
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:04.599
games are called because they're not super
deep. They've lost three players now to

283
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:08.200
season ending injuries, so they could
be in some trouble with foul outs.

284
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:12.200
But oh my gosh, like,
there's no one tougher, there's no one

285
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:17.480
scrappier, there's no one better at
playing within their means. And yeah,

286
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:21.440
if they say out a foul trouble, that's that they are the best team

287
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:26.480
my eyes have watched this year play
basketball. Yeah, I think I would

288
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:30.079
concur with that. You know,
obviously we can talk about matchups, like

289
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:33.039
I don't think Houston matches up particularly
well with Purdue or Yukon, the two

290
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:37.400
other teams that I think are the
best three teams in the country. Uh,

291
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:41.440
just from a size perspective, I
don't think they match ups super well,

292
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:45.440
but they're they're in, say a
sensational basketball team. Uh. With

293
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:48.720
lower quality teams, they're they're largely
going to have their way. I agree

294
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.799
with the ref take, though,
if they get some really tight calls,

295
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:56.880
which the NCAA Tournament is decently famous
for. If they have some matchups that

296
00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:00.359
are called very, very tightly,
they could be in some trouble for sure,

297
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.839
because, yeah, they play very
physical. Kind of reminds me of

298
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:06.799
Texas Tech in a lot of ways. Yeah, no doubt they were good.

299
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:08.359
But they do foul a lot,
and they're very physical, and they

300
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.680
try to draw flops and stuff,
and n see the tournament refs do call

301
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:17.640
games a lot differently or somewhat differently
than regular season refs, even though those

302
00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:19.960
same people, which is just the
nature of referring at this point, I

303
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:26.119
guess. But yeah, they're they're
brilliant. I do think they are one

304
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:29.799
of the three best teams in the
country, probably top to bottom. I

305
00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:32.440
think obviously there's some other teams that
are really good, but certainly I don't

306
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:34.640
know how you can watch them.
I don't know how you any it's it's

307
00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:38.400
them in Yukon. I don't know
how anybody can say based off of everything

308
00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:42.359
we've ever watched from Purdue, Purdue's
played the weakest schedule of those three teams.

309
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:45.519
I know, their non con schedule
is probably the best, but their

310
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:48.720
conference late they've been more susceptible than
either of those other two teams in their

311
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:52.480
league play. It's Yukon and Houston
right now, they are the favorites if

312
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:56.079
I gave you Yukon, Houston and
Purdue and the versus the field. We

313
00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:00.279
talked about this on the last show. I would you take the those three

314
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:04.000
teams or would you take the field? Yeah, that's that's a tough question.

315
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:07.599
I think I would still take the
field because I think there's some very

316
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.079
talented, very solid teams in the
rest of the field, and I don't

317
00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:17.799
quite I don't quite one hundred percent
trust any of those three enough. It's

318
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:22.440
a it's it's it's closer now.
Like I remember in twenty twenty one,

319
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:26.440
we had the conversation Gonzaga and Baylor
or the field. That was to me

320
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:30.799
the closest I've been to taking the
side with just a couple of teams,

321
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:34.799
and that wound up being the right. Those were so so clearly the best

322
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:38.240
two teams la season like that,
and they played in the end two teams.

323
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:42.079
In comparison to the rest of college
basketball that I've seen, There's been

324
00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:45.599
better teams, but those two teams
were so far and away from the rest

325
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:48.880
of the field, right, and
and look who wound up playing in the

326
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:52.400
championship came a year those two teams
like this year, It wouldn't surprise me

327
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:56.359
at all if we saw two of
those top three teams in the finals.

328
00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:57.920
But you're right, then we could
also get a Saint Peter Ing No,

329
00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:00.799
no one knows. All right,
Well, well that was a nice two

330
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:03.279
hundred beat break of talking about a
really fun team to discuss. Let's get

331
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:07.720
back to the stuff that we normally
do, which is talking about uh,

332
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:11.359
the great damn Bill who just looks
like he's having no fun like he he

333
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.440
just looks he looks dejected. He
sounds dejected. It's kind of weird,

334
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:19.480
like those of you wanting to see
Bill self coach for fifteen more years years

335
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:23.680
like this. Not great for that, No, they're not. Uh the

336
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:29.720
guards, let's talk about the guards. Johnny Furphy he made two threes,

337
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:33.200
finished with nine points and four rebounds. Dwan Harris said three points, one

338
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:36.960
assist, three turnovers in twenty seven
minutes. Jorny mcgowll went over five and

339
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:41.920
seventeen minutes, and Nick Timberlake did, I didn't you're right, I didn't

340
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:45.960
put Timberlake in there, but oh, are you worth? Are you surprised

341
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:48.279
that the instant and I do mean
the incident that we were like, hey,

342
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:53.680
Timberlake maybe starting to heat up?
Bricked every three he launched. No,

343
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:59.720
it's not surprising. He went one
for four from the field for three

344
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:02.839
from three, he had four points. Did have five rebounds, which is

345
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:06.240
kind of out of nowhere, but
that happened. I think he's their best

346
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:11.440
free throw shooter, if that's anything. It's not. He's he's a good

347
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:14.440
free throw shooter. He may eat
both of his free throws. I guess,

348
00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:17.960
yeah. There, they lost forty
six to seventy six, Like,

349
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:21.200
what are we doing like this?
I'm just seeing the score here again,

350
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:25.160
looking at the box score, like
that's impossible. It's very Virginia, Like,

351
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:26.759
is what it is? Forty six
points? I thought, too,

352
00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:30.559
Uh, there really isn't anything here
for if he did make a couple of

353
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:34.200
threes, which I guess was good. I think it was Brett Rasdall on

354
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:38.960
Twitter who posted the meme of have
you seen the when when Phoenix was just

355
00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:45.359
getting crushed in Game seven of the
Western Conference Finals a few years back?

356
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:49.640
Uh, and uh, the youth
the NBA YouTube page posted a video and

357
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:55.400
completely unironically, the title is Chris
Paul Hits huge three to cut deficit to

358
00:24:55.440 --> 00:25:00.759
forty two. Yeah, and that
was that was what was post did when

359
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:03.400
Furfey made a couple threes, is
like, yay, he's getting odd as

360
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:08.000
they're down one hundred points. Uh, Furfey, I I feel like that

361
00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:14.440
the Furfey and Bajie Freshman's comparison is
just as similar Furfey does. He looked

362
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:17.920
like a deer in headlights in this
game. That was not a ride he

363
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:21.440
wanted to be on. It's not
a ride many people want to be on.

364
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:26.400
Houston, especially at home, plays
very aggressive, very pressing defense.

365
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:30.559
Uh, they fly around and yeah, it showed Yeah, Furfey. I

366
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:37.799
I wonder how effective Furfey's gonna be
in the tournament. Uh just because freshman,

367
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:41.720
he was only playing half the year. He's young, like he just

368
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:47.200
it's not trending the right direction right
now. I think that, like there's

369
00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:49.640
only like a twenty five percent chance
that Timberlake is going to be on on

370
00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:53.440
any given night, But I think
their chances of yeah, I think their

371
00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:57.880
chances of going on a run are
I think Timberlake is every bit as important

372
00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:04.240
as any piece not named Dickenson or
mccullar, which might be probably true,

373
00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:07.839
which kind of shows you where this
team is. Yeah, that might be

374
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:11.400
all she wrote, folks, But
yeah, I guess it's probably It's probably

375
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:15.119
actually been all she wrote for a
long time. When was the moment whenever

376
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:21.319
you realized, oh damn, this
might not be great this the season?

377
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:23.599
This season it wasn't UCF because UCF
we were just like, well, that's

378
00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:26.880
weird. But then they won like
way too early. Yeah, like they

379
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:32.960
take weird losses like every year,
so that it was weird, but it

380
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:37.960
wasn't. Season ending probably byu b
YU was probably where I was like,

381
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:41.880
oh, oh, this team is
really actually not that good, are they?

382
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:44.920
So they were thirteen and one when
they lost to UCF, and then

383
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.880
they they lost to West Virginia,
but I think we kind of chucked both

384
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.599
of those games up to just fluky
stuff happens. Then they lost to Iowa

385
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:57.519
State and won a couple of games
after the Houston game, the good one,

386
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:00.559
they were six and three in the
Big Twelve and they were eighteen and

387
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:04.160
four, and I think that I
said after that Iowa State loss that they

388
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:07.319
were gonna win nine of their last
eleven. Like at that point, I

389
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:11.000
was still like, no, they're
gonna be all right, and I largely

390
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:15.880
agreed. Yeah. Yeah. The
Case State loss was the moment when it

391
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:19.519
started to shift, because you normally
have a couple of losses that you kind

392
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:22.680
of be like, oh, stuff
happens in the Big twelve. They were

393
00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:26.359
already at their quote halfway through the
year thanks to Orlando and Morgantown, and

394
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:30.720
then mccullor gets hurt and you're like, oh, look, how bad this

395
00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:34.359
road schedule is. Down the stretch. This might be a problem. And

396
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:38.240
then they got railed in Lubbock and
then they lost to BYU a home.

397
00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:41.440
Yeah. I think the Case State
loss was when I was beginning to figure

398
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:45.920
out not great, and I'm with
you. The BYU loss was whenever you

399
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:49.880
kind of thought, oh, it's
just not they are twenty nineteen. Yeah,

400
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:55.799
yeah, I think the BYU loss
is what truly ended the real hope.

401
00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:57.200
Like I think, especially if you
go back and listen to that show,

402
00:27:57.480 --> 00:28:03.000
I think the amount of defeat that
we had is decently palpable for what

403
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:06.759
this team was on that show Like
that that kind of was the funeral show,

404
00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:10.400
and then BYU was the funeral Procession
show, and this is the burial

405
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:12.799
show. Well and mccullar, there's
not a lot to say. In case,

406
00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:15.200
it was a celebration of life.
That was the Polluck Dinner, so

407
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:21.240
yeah, yeah, And and the
Houston game was getting they dropped the casket.

408
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:22.279
They didn't even lower it, they
just threw it six feet in the

409
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:26.400
ground and it hit them. And
then and then the next two tournaments are

410
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:30.640
the moments when you play, like
the home videos of the team, it's

411
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:33.599
like that might be really good.
You might just cry your eyes out,

412
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:36.480
but it might be because of happiness, but it's also mostly because of sadness.

413
00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:38.400
Probably Yeah, yeah, mixed bag. You know it's gonna happen.

414
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:44.160
How many more games are they gonna
win this year? That's such a tough

415
00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:48.319
The NCAA tournament is so weird because
it so depends on draw like and because

416
00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:52.799
this team is not healthy, but
not in a way that is definitive one

417
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.599
way or another. It's very hard
to say. I think they'll win one

418
00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:00.400
to two big twelve tournament games,
and I think they will win about the

419
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:04.839
same and say tournament, so I
would two to four. Best best case

420
00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:08.279
scenario, they win four O.
Yeah, that's pretty sad. Hopefully they

421
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:11.480
can win them all in one tournament, then Big twelve to five in the

422
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:15.319
Big twelve tournament or three, I
mean in the Big twel tournament five total,

423
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:19.119
making that they need Dickinson and mccullar. Yeah, but that's the thing.

424
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:23.079
If Dickinson's out, then I think
it's very possibly one. No,

425
00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:29.160
yeah, that's it's it's it's all
kind of bad. Mccullor no points,

426
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:32.559
no rebounds, no assists, just
like Landon in fifteen minutes. Yeah,

427
00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:34.759
and he's hurt, like he's he
didn't play in the second half. He

428
00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:40.720
was terrible. He's shooting like twenty
six percent on threes in conference play or

429
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:44.640
something like. It's just just not
great. And it sucks for him that

430
00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:48.240
his last year has to be this
way. But he's gonna have to play

431
00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:52.000
hurt the rest of the year.
The moments of oh, he let him

432
00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:55.759
rest and get ready, No,
that's not an option anymore. He's gonna

433
00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:57.680
be in pain when he plays,
and it's there's no tomorrow at this point

434
00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:02.640
if you lose. So just it
sucks. Most people in this sport are

435
00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:04.519
kind of banged up. The color
is more banged up than most of them.

436
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:07.880
But it's just gonna have to be
the way it is, right,

437
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:11.720
Yeah, that's that's true. I
think all right, let's talk three.

438
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:17.000
How much to rest for at this
point, let's talk threes in case you

439
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:19.519
you wanted another, I guess we
have to. Yeah, go ahead,

440
00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:23.039
and I'll let you read it so
then I can. I can. I'll

441
00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:26.319
be on a soundboard. No,
I don't have about it. Yeah,

442
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:30.079
we did say this up top Kus
three of twenty one shooting threes, which

443
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:34.640
is gross and also fourteen percent,
which is great. Players not named Furfy

444
00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:40.119
and Dickinson were thirteen. Those guys
were three of eight, which is not

445
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:45.160
awful. That's that's an acceptable number. Three of eight is an acceptable percentage,

446
00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:48.240
not elite, but it's total.
It's fine. It's fine. Uh

447
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:55.279
oh, thirteen is not that's booty
cheeks. Houston made eleven threes. And

448
00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:59.079
then here's truly an apocalypse of stat. Ryan. You posted this on Twitter.

449
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:00.839
I believe you put it in the
chain for sure, good, very

450
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:04.400
good stat This is great fine,
But that's the only thing that's good about

451
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:10.079
it is that's neat that you found
it eighteen conference games. Kansas made more

452
00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:15.079
threes than their opponent in one of
those eighteen games, that was Cincinnati at

453
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:22.880
home. In all games, opponents
made sixty seven more threes than Kansas did,

454
00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:29.559
for a net of minus one hundred
and two points. You got that

455
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:33.359
backwards. Nope, you said those
numbers backwards. Oh yeah, it's so

456
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:34.640
much worse than that. It's two
hundred and one. That's there, you

457
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:37.880
go, that's that's the real stat. It's so much worse. It's ninety

458
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:42.559
nine points worse than one hundred and
two. They were now threes worse than

459
00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:48.960
one hundred and two. They were
about one hundred and sixty points better than

460
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:52.480
their opponents on free throws and twos. All they had to do was just

461
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.720
not be apocalyptic from three point land, and they were minus two hundred and

462
00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:01.279
one most of the season, So
on average, that's three or four ish

463
00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:07.200
more threes that they allowed in their
opponent on average, in a conference where

464
00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:10.440
most of the games were close,
they were spotting the other team about ten

465
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:16.799
points in three point differential every night, all eighteen times. And you could,

466
00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:21.319
of course point somewhat to other teams
just made a lot of threes against

467
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:23.319
Kansas, And that's true. Most
of the teams did make a lot of

468
00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:29.960
threes against Kansas, especially in road
games, but it was like Kansas could

469
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:35.480
just not they couldn't make any like
they just couldn't make threes. And imagine

470
00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:40.160
this show saying that Kansas needs to
make threes. You're just at a point

471
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:43.440
in college basketball it's like what are
you doing if you don't have people that

472
00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:45.759
can shoot threes on your team?
Like what I mean? I know they

473
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:52.799
tried, and one prefers sex to
being illegal assist in the United States,

474
00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:59.839
and the other has been just bad. And that's Nocktimberlake. And you thought

475
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:02.160
Marco Jackson would probably be able to
make more than twelve threes this year.

476
00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:06.279
No one expected him to be like
a lights out shooter, but you know,

477
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:08.799
you thought more than that. Probably
four points, no rebounds, four

478
00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:13.319
turnovers in fourteen minutes. And I've
I've had it with El Marco. I

479
00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:19.440
don't normally like to get super you
know, negative with players, because these

480
00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:22.640
are kids that are playing their hearts
out, not on Twitter at least,

481
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:27.960
and and al Marco Jackson just he's
just awful. He's terrible. He's the

482
00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:31.279
he's he is the worst mcdonald' all
American in the self era. Don't come

483
00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:36.519
at me and tell me it was
Theello or it was brag or it was

484
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:40.119
Grimes or Selvi, Bryce Thompson was
had a couple of better games than he

485
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:45.799
did, and MJ Rice is close, but and J Rice probably is the

486
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:49.720
real answer. But no, MJ
Rice was hurt and MJ Rice never got

487
00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:53.599
a fair shot. Al Marco has
been healthy and active all year. Yeah

488
00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:59.279
that's true. Like it's just it
hasn't happened. And and people saying like,

489
00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:00.359
oh, I hope he comes back. I think he could be good.

490
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:05.519
I'd be stunned if he does.
In this era of college basketball,

491
00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:08.519
there isn't a oh, well we
didn't recruit over you, so you'll stay.

492
00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:13.039
You can go somewhere else, get
a fresh start. The Jayhawks would

493
00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:16.119
be crazy, not because there are
players in the portal better than Almarco Jackson.

494
00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:21.719
They would be crazy not to find
an upgrade there. Grimes was disappointing,

495
00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:23.840
he didn't stay. Selby was disappointing. He went to the NBA to

496
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:28.559
be a second round draft pick.
MJ. Rice was disappointing. He didn't

497
00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:31.599
stay, like none of them.
It just doesn't happen in this era.

498
00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:37.199
I'd be stunned if he came back, and I don't think they'd miss anything

499
00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:39.360
if he did. There's not anything
that I think he's good at. Some

500
00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:45.880
people say he's okay at defense.
Okay, maybe like that's it. Yeah,

501
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:49.079
I don't. I think that's a
pretty good take that. Yeah.

502
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:52.079
I don't think you're gonna really miss
anything that Almarco would take with him.

503
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:58.280
It's certainly not that you can't replace
pretty easily. So Hunter Dickinson, he

504
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:00.559
made eight threes in Big Twelve play. I was looking at these numbers because

505
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:06.079
he shot twenty two percent and boy, so he made two against TCU and

506
00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:08.639
the opener. So he made six
in the final seventeen Big Twelve games.

507
00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:15.519
I think, if memory serves,
I think four of them were like last

508
00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:19.199
minute garbage time, weren't they.
He made one in the final seconds in

509
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:24.599
Orlando. Yes, yes, you
had one. Iowa staated Baylor last week,

510
00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:30.519
time, Baylor last and then yesterday. That's four. So he really

511
00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:34.960
in seventeen games. He made a
game tying three against BYU, which was

512
00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:40.679
huge, and then he made a
three against UH That's that's literally it.

513
00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:44.960
Oh, he made he made one
and the Baylor game at home, and

514
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:47.440
that was that was important. They
won that game by three. But so

515
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:52.199
the man made two consequential threes in
seventeen games like that. Just that blows

516
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:59.320
my mind. That really blows my
mind. Refs, we need to say

517
00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:05.159
anything else, just total ass.
Yeah they're bad. Franfrascilla with quiet when

518
00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:08.360
kJ Adams got body checked into the
floor, and that that's on brand for

519
00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:12.159
Fran. He doesn't normally point out
when things should have been fouls, especially

520
00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:15.079
in Kansas games. No, that's
not been his normal thing for years on

521
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:19.679
years. I'm glad Fran was on
the call for that game, one because

522
00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:22.800
he could probably get his rocks off, and two because you know that he

523
00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:30.760
was the perfect announcer for a game
of that level of awfulness. Yeah,

524
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:32.480
we need to be done with the
Frankfurcchilla experiment. I know ESPN loves him,

525
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:36.000
but he's just I'm not a fan, not a fan. Call me

526
00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:37.239
crazy, but I'm not a fan. Shocking, I don't know why you

527
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:40.199
wouldn't be. We have anything else
to say about this game. This really

528
00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:45.000
wasn't as much a recap as was
as much as it was a funeral yeah,

529
00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:49.280
it was. It was a funeral
dirge. Uh No, not not

530
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:54.559
particularly really bad. Again, the
tournament can be very fluky, and it

531
00:36:54.679 --> 00:37:00.400
can be very dependent. It is
very dependent on draw both the conference tournaments

532
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:06.320
in the NCAA and Kansas will still
be in both of those obviously, So

533
00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:12.159
uh should you quit watching the team? That's up to you and however you

534
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:15.679
feel your mental state will be able
to handle what's about to happen. But

535
00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:20.400
I mean, are they gonna get
run? Are they gonna get run in

536
00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:22.519
their season ending tournament loss again like
they do most year? It feels like

537
00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:28.519
one of those Sure feels like one
of those seventeen point l or it's a

538
00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:30.280
one point lost to Arkansas with a
bunch of his free throws, like it's

539
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:34.159
one or the other. I don't
think this team is good enough to lose

540
00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:38.519
one point game. Oh jeez.
Thirty three percent from the floor, fourteen

541
00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:44.039
percent from three, sixty five percent
of the line, that's whatever, minus

542
00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:51.639
seven on the glass, eighteen turnovers
total and complete buns. Ass got anything

543
00:37:51.639 --> 00:38:00.599
else? No, all right,
that's literally anything else? Final edition of

544
00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:05.159
Big twelve Games. Wow, I'm
so disappointed. I don't get to talk

545
00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:10.280
about more West Virginia versus Cincinnati matchups
anymore. That just makes me sad.

546
00:38:10.679 --> 00:38:15.360
Big Twelve games this year I feel
like was a real snooze fest. Like

547
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:17.599
I wonder if people just skip that
different than this year to years. Yeah,

548
00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:21.199
I feel like in the past it's
been a little better. It's just

549
00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:24.199
this year. Would you get one
more sandstorm though? That's right? Yeah?

550
00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:31.440
Kansas State sixty five, number six, Iowa State fifty eight, woo

551
00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:37.800
twenty three points from Arthur Kaluma and
another twenty one from Camp Carter's k State

552
00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:40.119
one on their senior day. They've
beating Kansas, Iowa State, and Baylor

553
00:38:40.159 --> 00:38:45.320
all at home. But they're only
eighteen and thirteen on the year. What

554
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:47.639
do they need to do to get
in Ryan They need to win well.

555
00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:52.400
I think they need to win two
Big twelve tournament games. They open with

556
00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:58.920
Texas. That's not easy. That's
a terrible matchup just from a talent perspective.

557
00:38:59.559 --> 00:39:02.159
They win that, they draw Iowa
State. If they win both those

558
00:39:02.199 --> 00:39:06.280
games, I think they're in.
If they beat Texas and play Iowa State

559
00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:08.639
close, I think they have a
case. That's a lot. They have

560
00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:12.920
more quality wins than most of the
teams they're competing with. They also them

561
00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:16.039
are losses. Yeah, I agree, though, if they get to twenty

562
00:39:16.079 --> 00:39:20.320
wins, if they're twenty and say
they're twenty and fourteen, say they win

563
00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:22.320
to and lose the next which would
be likely if they were to win to

564
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:28.719
UH, that is probably in.
Yeah, if that's a nose, I

565
00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:31.360
think that's enough they should be in
at that point. Oklahoma's got twenty wins

566
00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:36.119
and they're seen as a slam dunk
right now. TCU is one win above

567
00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:38.760
KSE State with a worst set of
conference wins, and they're scene as in

568
00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:44.800
right now. I don't really understand
how TCU is in and KSE State isn't

569
00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:49.840
because Kansas State is basically the same
team TCU's. He's the only reason that

570
00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:53.639
TCU is in is because they don't
have a Georgetown loss on their non con

571
00:39:53.679 --> 00:39:57.400
schedule, and they should have remembered
that shot should have been waved off,

572
00:39:57.639 --> 00:40:00.639
like if that had been a loss, they're probably on the end outside right

573
00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:05.599
now. So the margins really small. The problem with these big twelve teams,

574
00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:08.159
sorry, the problem with these big
twelve teams though, is they're all

575
00:40:08.199 --> 00:40:12.360
competing with each other for some of
the final few spots, and in the

576
00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:15.920
Big twelve tournament, if you lose, like if your case state, and

577
00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:21.760
you lose a team like Texas and
a team like Oklahoma and a team like

578
00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:24.320
TCU, Yeah, exactly, somebody's
gonna push you out. That's the hard

579
00:40:24.320 --> 00:40:29.039
part. I think k State has
a case though. Yeah, I think

580
00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:30.239
they do, especially if they,
like you said, if they get too

581
00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:34.760
I think they have a very very
good shot. Iowa State offense, they

582
00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:37.760
were really struggled, which is weird
because they scored twelve more points than Kansas,

583
00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:42.039
so it's not too bad from my
perspective, but they did score just

584
00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:45.960
thirty three points in the final thirty
minutes. Are we worried about them entering

585
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:49.440
the NCAA tournaments. Yeah, Like
a lot of Big twelve two seeds,

586
00:40:49.559 --> 00:40:53.000
they might be a little overseeded and
they don't have a super like X factor

587
00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:58.920
ceiling. If you take Iowa State
out of Hilton and maybe the Sprint Center,

588
00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:01.519
I think they're like the sixth best
team in the Big twelve. Like

589
00:41:02.159 --> 00:41:07.719
they they chalked up so much crap
in their non conference schedule. They played

590
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:13.920
eighteen home games this year, Like
when you we need outrageous, Yeah,

591
00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:19.119
they played all these home games.
I don't know. I think I would.

592
00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:21.920
I'm gonna bet against Iowa State making
the second weekend. I just don't

593
00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:23.639
think they have a lot of talent. I think they're well coached. I

594
00:41:23.719 --> 00:41:27.880
think they're very good at playing within
their means, but I don't know.

595
00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:30.599
Something just doesn't feel quite right about
that. I don't think they can score,

596
00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:32.079
and they're very mid on the road. Losing record on the road this

597
00:41:32.159 --> 00:41:36.199
year. I know somebody else who
did that, but was worse. Texas

598
00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:39.239
tex seventy eight, number eleven,
Baylor sixty eight. See this one's weird

599
00:41:39.239 --> 00:41:42.760
because I don't think Baylor and Kansas
are that much different at all, but

600
00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:46.199
they're separated by three lines in the
seating list. Pop Isaac's had twenty points,

601
00:41:46.440 --> 00:41:49.679
which, if you're doing math,
is four more than the age of

602
00:41:49.719 --> 00:41:52.880
the girl he allegedly assaulted as the
Red Raiders. Yeah, it is glad

603
00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:58.480
that guy gets to play as the
Red Raiders win another home game. Baylor

604
00:41:58.840 --> 00:42:01.519
is the three seed in the Big
Twelve tournament with seven losses. Tech is

605
00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:06.119
the four. Their soft schedule helped
them out finish with the same record as

606
00:42:06.239 --> 00:42:08.840
Kansas and BYU, but they did
not have to go on the road to

607
00:42:08.840 --> 00:42:12.679
Allen Field House, and they did
not have to go or they only had

608
00:42:12.679 --> 00:42:16.519
to play Houston, Kansas and Iowa
State once. You gotta think that that's

609
00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:21.239
where the sixth seed. Everyone's like, Oh, Kansas is sixtyed. Kansas

610
00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:23.519
is the fourth best team in the
Big twelve. They're better than BYU and

611
00:42:23.519 --> 00:42:27.679
they're better than Texas Tech. The
unbalanced schedules hurt them in this case.

612
00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:30.360
Yeah, I think that's thatccurate,
and that's about all I have to say.

613
00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:34.639
I think Baylor has a very high
ceiling entering the NCATE tournament, though

614
00:42:34.679 --> 00:42:37.480
considering their guards and coach, I
don't think they have a very good defense.

615
00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:43.519
And normally teams that have a high
offense and a low ceiling defense Alabama,

616
00:42:44.440 --> 00:42:46.840
Baylor, Arizona. Yeah, normally
that that doesn't go too well.

617
00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:52.039
Fortunately, the team we root for
has a phenomenal defense and an even better

618
00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:57.599
offense. Damn. So they are
upset proof number twenty BYU eighty five,

619
00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:02.800
Oklahoma State seventy one. Hey,
we didn't play it in the recap,

620
00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:06.880
so it's gotta go. Some didn't
eat Oh we could have about that walk

621
00:43:06.920 --> 00:43:08.320
on that made as many three oh, my gosh, she almost hit it

622
00:43:08.400 --> 00:43:13.440
between the legs. Step back.
Yeah, it was close. It was

623
00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:17.400
real close. And there were a
couple of just stupid threes Houston hit and

624
00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:22.079
I had people being like falling down
bank. Make was rock fine? I

625
00:43:22.159 --> 00:43:28.880
can't actually can rock Chuck blog it's
not all luck see all right whatever?

626
00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:31.760
At that point, it doesn't matter. Tell me about yeah cowboys and Cougar's

627
00:43:31.760 --> 00:43:35.519
close for a minute. The Uyu
pulled away late to clinch the number five.

628
00:43:35.599 --> 00:43:37.639
See in the Big Teal tournament,
it made twelve threes. Seven different

629
00:43:37.639 --> 00:43:40.719
players made a three. I mean, I wish Kansas could say any sense

630
00:43:42.400 --> 00:43:46.679
Kansas had to how good is Byu? I think? I think Byu is

631
00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:52.920
fine. I do also think that
their three point shooting is going to make

632
00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:55.760
them a very unfun team to play. They're a very worrisome team to play.

633
00:43:57.559 --> 00:44:00.360
I do you think they have a
decently low floor. But they're solid.

634
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:05.400
They're solid. We left them out
of our teams with great offenses and

635
00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:08.440
not so kind of suspect defenses and
how that doesn't normally work. They're a

636
00:44:08.480 --> 00:44:12.679
poster child for that. They're entertaining
as hell, though, I'm glad they're

637
00:44:12.679 --> 00:44:15.599
in the dance because they are.
Yeah, they're gonna be like an eight

638
00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:20.079
seed. You're absolutely watching them playing
number one Perdue or whatever, because you

639
00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:22.920
know they got a shot. Yeah, And that's the thing. I think

640
00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:24.480
if they are like an eight seed
or whatever, and they're probably higher than

641
00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:28.159
that actually, but yeah, they
probably are like a seven or a six,

642
00:44:28.199 --> 00:44:31.880
I think either way they are going. I don't think whoever the high

643
00:44:31.960 --> 00:44:36.400
seed is in that little mini region
is gonna be like, yay, we

644
00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:39.079
got byu Oh no, yeah,
the way you could drop fourteen threes on

645
00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:42.400
you and all of a sudden you're
out with ease. Yeah, No,

646
00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:45.239
I'm with you on that one.
Oklahoma state total buns Texas ninety four,

647
00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:51.000
Oklahoma eighty. Speaking of buns,
great defense, Porter Oklahoma pride itself on

648
00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:53.239
his defense, gave up eighty seven
to Houston and ninety four to Texas,

649
00:44:53.480 --> 00:44:58.519
You suck balls. I can't believe
that they're gonna put Oklahoma in the dance.

650
00:44:58.719 --> 00:45:02.719
Oklahoma, I'm not going. We've
taken so many airwave beats talking about

651
00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:06.440
how Oklahoma shouldn't make the dance this
year, so I won't. I won't

652
00:45:06.440 --> 00:45:09.039
continue. I'll talk about Texas though. Thirty points from Tyree Hunter. John

653
00:45:09.119 --> 00:45:13.920
Rostein goes, Texas is a team
that nobody wants to see in their bracket.

654
00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:17.760
Oh my goodness, here we go
again. Stop with this. Yeah,

655
00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:23.920
I mean they're so talented, but
I mean that's it though most coach

656
00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:30.119
and actually fear about them. They
don't never produce. Yeah no, And

657
00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:34.280
people were like, they made the
Elite A last year, that's pretty good.

658
00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:37.119
What was their path last year?
Like, didn't they just have a

659
00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:42.719
super path open up for them?
Last year? They and that team was

660
00:45:42.760 --> 00:45:45.719
so much better than this year's team, like not even Oh yeah, yeah,

661
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:47.360
it was a lot better. So
last year they were too. They

662
00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:52.000
beat a fifteen, then a ten, then they did beat a three seed,

663
00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:54.199
they beat three seed Xavier, and
they got a five in the Elite

664
00:45:54.239 --> 00:45:59.559
eight and they lost, Like so
yeah, they you're right, that team

665
00:45:59.599 --> 00:46:02.480
was really good and that was Chris
Beard's team. No, not so much,

666
00:46:02.679 --> 00:46:08.360
Rodney Terry, good luck. I
bet Texas loses their first nca game.

667
00:46:10.480 --> 00:46:15.199
Uh yeah, I think that's more
likely than not. Probably. Yep.

668
00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:22.000
It's which is hilarious because it's always
something UCF seventy nine, TCU seventy

669
00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:25.039
seven. Jamie Dixon did Atlanta and
he went all nine and nine. Woo

670
00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:32.480
Hey. The two teams in the
DFW area did a Dallas Cowboys. Yeah,

671
00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:37.039
yes they did. I guess Texas
in Austin, which is a little

672
00:46:37.039 --> 00:46:39.840
farther away, but nonetheless, yeah, whatever in that in that region.

673
00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:45.840
Thirty three points from Darius Johnson as
UCF took down the most mid team that's

674
00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:51.039
ever midted Jamie Dixon with his classic
nine to nine. He did it,

675
00:46:51.159 --> 00:46:52.760
he did it. Indeed, are
the Knights the biggest surprise in the Big

676
00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:55.760
twelve this year? They won seven
league games. I mean that's I think

677
00:46:55.880 --> 00:47:00.320
we were saying they would win like
two to four. Yeah, they'd be

678
00:47:00.360 --> 00:47:06.000
a dormat. We thought they'd be
like og tcuh and they turned out to

679
00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:08.159
be a lot stiffer than that.
Yeah, they won seven games. They

680
00:47:08.199 --> 00:47:12.719
obviously beat Kansas, A road win
at TCU is super nice. This is

681
00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:15.000
a team that lost by twenty five
to k State and the Big twelve opener

682
00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:17.760
and we thought, oh, they're
a total dormat. They lost by two

683
00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:22.760
at BYU, they lost by seven
at Texas Tech, they lost by eight

684
00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:25.440
to Baylor. They only lost to
Houston at home by eight. They only

685
00:47:25.480 --> 00:47:29.960
lost to Iowa save by eight,
like they were seven and eleven, and

686
00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:32.960
they were very competitive in most of
their games. Johnny Dawkins is a good

687
00:47:32.960 --> 00:47:37.719
coach. Did you see Antonio Brown
going wild in the student section because his

688
00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:42.480
son is being recruited to play basketball
at UCF. He had a big sign

689
00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:45.599
that said, give Johnny Dawkins a
lifetime contract. He doesn't know where he

690
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:51.800
is at the moment, but he
was all about UCF basketball. That's funny.

691
00:47:51.800 --> 00:47:53.519
I didn't see that. Johnny Dawkins. By the way, if I

692
00:47:53.559 --> 00:47:58.880
can Johnny Dawkins two and oh against
Bill self, yes, Jamie Dixon,

693
00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:04.280
by the way, he has no
been at TCU for like a long time.

694
00:48:04.639 --> 00:48:07.960
Here are his records nine to nine
this year, nine and nine,

695
00:48:08.039 --> 00:48:12.280
last year, eight and ten,
the year before that, then they were

696
00:48:12.320 --> 00:48:14.880
really bad. In twenty one they
were only five and eleven, seven and

697
00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:19.719
eleven, seven and eleven, nine
and nine, Like that's crazy. He's

698
00:48:19.800 --> 00:48:22.679
as mid as it gets. And
they have won a tournament game each the

699
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:25.159
last two years. I think parody
of what we would say a five hundred

700
00:48:25.159 --> 00:48:30.719
team is. Yeah, they they
are the the was it the Cowboys that

701
00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:34.039
went eight and eight every year?
Like that's begin to get the cowboys there.

702
00:48:34.079 --> 00:48:37.920
That's perfect. Uh yeah, TCU. I think TCU is better than

703
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:43.559
Kansas State. I think they're better
than Texas. I don't act I think

704
00:48:43.559 --> 00:48:46.440
they're better than Texas Tech two.
But man, they just find way.

705
00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:51.920
The three point shooting is what's so
bad. That's what's gonna hurt him.

706
00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:55.079
They are, Yeah, they are
going to be drawn in an eight nine

707
00:48:55.119 --> 00:49:00.159
window where people are gonna say,
oh, that's a terrifying matchup for the

708
00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:04.159
one seed and they're gonna lose in
the eight ninety though, Yep, that's

709
00:49:04.199 --> 00:49:07.440
what always happened. TCU and Texas
are very similar. TCU is a less

710
00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:12.039
talented Texas, but it's a similar
idea that it is a talented team.

711
00:49:12.719 --> 00:49:15.639
But what what what do they actually
do? Though? Like they don't,

712
00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:21.360
they don't ever actually perform it?
Say you do here? Cincinnati ninety two,

713
00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:25.119
West Virginia fifty six. Yeah,
great, West Virginia is so bad

714
00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:30.679
since he shot fifty nine percent from
the floor. They dominated the second half,

715
00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:32.679
blowing out the worst team in the
conference. Bill lost to that West

716
00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:37.000
tream of the conference. By the
way, U fourteen league games, they

717
00:49:37.039 --> 00:49:42.079
won at least seven games this year. Yeah, it's a very balanced fourteen

718
00:49:42.159 --> 00:49:45.840
league teams. Excuse me, Yeah, fal fourteen league teams won at least

719
00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:51.400
seven games. Yeah, you had
threem through twelve were between seven and eleven.

720
00:49:51.400 --> 00:49:53.840
And that's what I was gonna say. Yeah, two teams that separated.

721
00:49:53.920 --> 00:49:57.800
That's so symmetrical. I didn't realize
that. It's literally two at each

722
00:49:57.880 --> 00:50:01.119
record point. Yeah, from eleven
to seven. Pretty balanced league. Yeah,

723
00:50:01.920 --> 00:50:06.320
very very balanced league. So your
final Big twelve standings, This is

724
00:50:06.320 --> 00:50:09.360
by Big twelve seed, top seed
Houston. They won the conference by two

725
00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:14.519
games, well deserved, fifteen to
three. Second place alone, I was

726
00:50:14.559 --> 00:50:19.039
State thirteen and five. Third is
Baylor. They are eleven and seven because

727
00:50:19.079 --> 00:50:21.480
of tie breaker. I don't know
how these tie breakers work, because they

728
00:50:21.480 --> 00:50:24.719
split with Tech and ed shrug.
And then there is Tech in fourth at

729
00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:29.960
eleven and seven as well. Fifth
is BYU, who has the tiebreaker over

730
00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:31.760
the next team because they beat him
at Allen field House ten and eight.

731
00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:37.199
Ten and eight, the lowest Kansas
has ever been in the Big twelve standings

732
00:50:37.199 --> 00:50:38.920
in the bill self Air and the
worst record they've ever had in conference play

733
00:50:38.960 --> 00:50:43.840
in the bill Self era. Kansas
ten and eight, seventh place is Texas

734
00:50:43.840 --> 00:50:50.920
eternally underachieving and oderwhelming. They are
nine and nine, TCU eight eternally exactly

735
00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:53.960
who they are? Nine and nine. Yeah, Oklahoma's eight and ten feels

736
00:50:54.000 --> 00:50:58.159
like if they got lucky to not
be worse. Porter mosers on the bubble.

737
00:50:58.239 --> 00:51:02.199
Oh boy in tenth. K State
eight and ten. There's not a

738
00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:05.360
lot to say about them, because
they feel like the most eight and ten

739
00:51:05.400 --> 00:51:09.199
team of all time. Probable next
Kansas opponent, Cincinnati finishes eleventh. They

740
00:51:09.199 --> 00:51:15.840
are seven wins and eleven losses.
U see F seven wins and eleven losses.

741
00:51:15.199 --> 00:51:19.800
As we just talked about, a
pretty nice first year for UCF considering

742
00:51:19.840 --> 00:51:23.480
the expectations for sure yep, thirteen
Oklahoma State, Yeah, four and fourteen,

743
00:51:23.679 --> 00:51:28.559
that's that's bad. Mike Boyton's probably
begin to be filing for unemployment soon.

744
00:51:29.920 --> 00:51:32.679
And in fourteenth, Oh have the
mighty fall in West Virginia on once

745
00:51:32.679 --> 00:51:37.039
a good team no longer four and
fourteen as well, and they get the

746
00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:40.920
tiebreaker for last. So West Virginia's
conference wins this year, let's just take

747
00:51:40.920 --> 00:51:44.719
a look here. They beat Central
Florida. Oh, that's to be expected.

748
00:51:44.920 --> 00:51:47.239
They beat Cincinnati, Sure they didn't
do very good this year. They

749
00:51:47.280 --> 00:51:52.760
beat Texas's that's a nice name,
but Texas isn't isn't very good. I'm

750
00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:55.440
trying to find the fourth team they
beat. I think that's only fourth.

751
00:51:55.440 --> 00:51:59.719
I think it would be like Oklahoma
State maybe or yeah, somebody realized.

752
00:51:59.719 --> 00:52:06.400
Oh no, by the way,
the most they scored in conference play against

753
00:52:06.400 --> 00:52:09.519
anybody was eighty one, except for
that game when they scored ninety one.

754
00:52:10.119 --> 00:52:16.199
Terrible Big Twelve Awards. Hey,
this is gonna be a long show,

755
00:52:16.239 --> 00:52:20.639
so we need to do this pretty
fast. But we're gonna do some Big

756
00:52:20.679 --> 00:52:22.719
Twelve Awards and it's not gonna feel
fun at all because there's not a lot

757
00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:25.800
of Jayhawks. But it doesn't even
matter. Here we go. I'm trying

758
00:52:25.800 --> 00:52:29.679
to find the music. You know, you know the one there it is.

759
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:34.760
Welcome to the Big Twelve Awards Show. I'm a sick wider. Yeah

760
00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:37.800
it is. Look at that perfect
All right, Well, let's just blow

761
00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:40.239
through these awards here. We have
not seen anybody else's awards, so we're

762
00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:45.239
not copying. This is just what
you think is deserved. Who should be

763
00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:49.599
the Big Twelve Player of the Year, Jamal shed Yes, that is a

764
00:52:49.719 --> 00:52:53.719
layup. Jamal shed best player on
the best team, dynamite on both ends

765
00:52:53.719 --> 00:52:59.639
of the court, thirteen points,
six assists, clutch, one of the

766
00:52:59.679 --> 00:53:02.559
best he throws shooters at the conference, and probably gonna win Defensive Player of

767
00:53:02.599 --> 00:53:06.920
the Year as well. Bona fide
studd he wins the award. Who is

768
00:53:06.960 --> 00:53:08.960
the freshman of the year in the
Big Twelve? And why is it la

769
00:53:09.000 --> 00:53:15.760
Marco Jackson? Yeah, not that
one. It's probably what's his name for

770
00:53:15.800 --> 00:53:20.599
Baylor? Yeah, Etched Walter it
is? Yeah, yeah, Jacoby Walter.

771
00:53:20.960 --> 00:53:22.760
He is probably gonna be a top
five draft pick too. He is

772
00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:27.519
a killer. Yep, it'd be
fun to have one of those. Baylor

773
00:53:27.559 --> 00:53:32.280
gets a blue chip freshman every year
in Kansas. Well, Uh, Coach

774
00:53:32.320 --> 00:53:36.480
of the Year, I have to
say that I'm gonna give this award to

775
00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:42.199
Rodney Terry. Uh. He really
overachieved, as he always does, really

776
00:53:42.239 --> 00:53:45.400
scrap his way out to some wins. Now, in all seriousness, the

777
00:53:45.400 --> 00:53:49.239
coach of the year has got to
be t j Alzelberger. Right, yeah,

778
00:53:49.440 --> 00:53:54.440
it's Oselberger McCaslin. I think a
case. I also who's by U's

779
00:53:54.480 --> 00:53:59.400
coach? I know the name is
Mark Pope Mark. Yeah, A slight

780
00:53:59.519 --> 00:54:01.440
case. Just because those expectations.
But I think I think also Burger should

781
00:54:01.440 --> 00:54:05.679
definitely get it. And Samson has
a case too, He's built the best

782
00:54:05.760 --> 00:54:07.679
roster in the country. Bill.
No, no, I'm not gonna be

783
00:54:07.679 --> 00:54:09.960
Bill, even though I don't know
how much of that's really Bill's fault.

784
00:54:10.400 --> 00:54:15.519
But yes, I also Burger.
I think it's I think Altera Burger has

785
00:54:15.519 --> 00:54:19.239
a case for National Coach of the
Year. So I think that's I think

786
00:54:19.239 --> 00:54:22.679
that's your answer, even if it
was kind of fluky. Nonetheless, also,

787
00:54:22.719 --> 00:54:25.079
if you're not watching the Arch Madness
finale on CBS, or you are

788
00:54:25.119 --> 00:54:30.800
missing a treat between Drake and Indiana
State just playing am if you like threes

789
00:54:31.199 --> 00:54:34.800
something you didn't get to see a
lot in the game you watched yesterday,

790
00:54:34.960 --> 00:54:37.719
I would encourage you to turn it
on and CBS. It's very mkay.

791
00:54:37.800 --> 00:54:42.760
Well, currently I got to La
Galaxy and Nashville s c SO and oh

792
00:54:42.800 --> 00:54:46.039
well that one seventy nine seventy six
and the other is one zero, So

793
00:54:46.400 --> 00:54:51.360
totally understand why you would choose the
game that you're watching that's zero zero.

794
00:54:52.440 --> 00:54:55.239
Even better, Yeah, it's like
if Kansas split their teams between each other

795
00:54:55.280 --> 00:55:00.960
and they only counted threes in a
scrimmage. Most improved play in the Big

796
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:04.000
Twelve. This is always kind of
a hard one. Uh. People were

797
00:55:04.000 --> 00:55:07.960
trying to chuck up. I said
is before the season, and despite his

798
00:55:07.519 --> 00:55:13.119
alleged pedophilia, I think it's probably
still him. Taman Lipsey's got a case

799
00:55:13.159 --> 00:55:15.840
too. He's turned into one of
the best point guards in the Big Twelve.

800
00:55:15.960 --> 00:55:20.239
He's really fantastic. Yeah, Iowa
State just gets point guards. Dylan

801
00:55:20.280 --> 00:55:23.760
to Sue might be the answer,
honestly. Uh, he's before, but

802
00:55:23.800 --> 00:55:29.159
he was absolutely sensational as here.
Yeah, next level monster. Micah Peevie

803
00:55:29.320 --> 00:55:31.960
is a dude that turned from like
three points a game last year to like

804
00:55:32.039 --> 00:55:37.679
eleven or twelve at TCU. He's
been good. Uh yeah, anybody except

805
00:55:37.679 --> 00:55:39.239
al Marco Jackson. Sorry to keep
piling on you, al Marco, but

806
00:55:39.480 --> 00:55:43.440
you know, can't. We have
to be truthful here. Who is your

807
00:55:43.480 --> 00:55:50.480
most surprising team in the Big Twelve? Uh? I think that probably hmm.

808
00:55:51.000 --> 00:55:52.920
I mean I halfway almost want to
say, UCF, Yeah that's what

809
00:55:53.480 --> 00:55:57.199
you like? A three win team? Yeah, Uh, it's hard to

810
00:55:57.199 --> 00:55:59.719
say that for a seven and eleven
Big Twelve. All right, Well,

811
00:55:59.719 --> 00:56:04.119
if that if you're thinking it might
be UCF because they won four more games

812
00:56:04.119 --> 00:56:07.559
than you thought. Is there anybody
else there that won four more games than

813
00:56:07.599 --> 00:56:10.960
you thought? Maybe the Cyclones,
Texas Tech? Yeah you didn't think Tech

814
00:56:12.000 --> 00:56:15.760
would go seven? Well that's about
right. Yeah, I definitely did not

815
00:56:15.800 --> 00:56:19.400
think they would be eleven and seven
had a soft schedule, though, I'm

816
00:56:19.400 --> 00:56:21.679
gonna give it to Iowa State.
I didn't expect them to be thirt,

817
00:56:21.679 --> 00:56:23.320
which makes fine. They would be
right there as well. Yeah. Also

818
00:56:23.360 --> 00:56:27.320
could be Houston, like really could
they got a case in all that The

819
00:56:27.360 --> 00:56:31.239
most disappointing team is West Virginia,
right, like that's that's just done hit

820
00:56:31.280 --> 00:56:36.039
honestly? Might be Kansas. Oh
yeah, I forgot the obvious one.

821
00:56:36.599 --> 00:56:39.639
Might Yeah, disappointingly not even close. I don't think. Yeah, you're

822
00:56:39.719 --> 00:56:44.480
right. Number one preseason poll finishes
sixth. Yep, that's the answer.

823
00:56:44.760 --> 00:56:47.480
Whoops, All right, give me
five names for your all Big twelve team.

824
00:56:50.360 --> 00:56:57.760
Jamal, shed Hunter, Dickinson,
Yeah, probably Walter Yeah, yeap,

825
00:57:00.400 --> 00:57:02.039
it might have to be McCuller,
but Dylan to Sue might be the

826
00:57:02.079 --> 00:57:07.719
other might be the real answer.
I'd have a really hard time leaving to

827
00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:10.760
Sue off. Yeah, Houston.
Also, you didn't say l J.

828
00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:19.199
Cryer. I maybe, Yeah,
Shed and Dick Andson are for surelocks.

829
00:57:19.360 --> 00:57:22.920
I think Walter will get there.
Statistically, the leader in the conference was

830
00:57:23.000 --> 00:57:28.400
mccullar in scoring. But can you
put a guy on there that missed the

831
00:57:28.400 --> 00:57:30.679
third of the games? I wouldn't
do it. Now. That feels like

832
00:57:30.719 --> 00:57:34.159
a good second team. You can
still reward him for the good year,

833
00:57:34.239 --> 00:57:37.199
but he don't Yeah, quite the
publicity of the first team. Yeah,

834
00:57:37.239 --> 00:57:40.119
who is your white guy of the
year. This is gonna be the guy

835
00:57:40.119 --> 00:57:44.400
that gave Kansas the most trouble And
there really aren't a lot of options.

836
00:57:46.480 --> 00:57:51.039
You just want to give it to
the entire BYU roster. Does that feel

837
00:57:51.079 --> 00:57:54.280
like a fitting recipient? Ah,
that's a good one. The season going

838
00:57:54.320 --> 00:58:00.880
out on the kid that looked like
someone that could in the youth group that

839
00:58:00.960 --> 00:58:07.760
I leave knocking down threes for one
Yeah, Case State didn't have a white

840
00:58:07.760 --> 00:58:12.039
guy, Oklahoma's white guy. Oh
the who is the north Wetter dude that

841
00:58:12.159 --> 00:58:15.679
made like Luke Bedwetter that made three
threes all conference play and they were both

842
00:58:15.679 --> 00:58:21.039
at Allenfield House. Yeah, that
was crazy. That The YU roster I

843
00:58:21.039 --> 00:58:23.239
think is pretty deserving though. All
Right, we'll stick with that. Who

844
00:58:23.360 --> 00:58:31.039
is your Scott Drew Boob of the
Year Award? Hm uh, it's probably

845
00:58:31.159 --> 00:58:35.679
Terry. I think grin with Terry
yeah is pretty well. Dove that great

846
00:58:35.719 --> 00:58:38.320
call. And then as the music
comes to a close, give me your

847
00:58:38.519 --> 00:58:42.639
Bruce Webber. Welp, he's getting
fire award. I think you have,

848
00:58:43.079 --> 00:58:46.679
uh two recipients and only one of
them is an actual coach. Joshan interim.

849
00:58:46.679 --> 00:58:52.280
I think this one's obvious too.
It's poytant. It's poytant and honorable

850
00:58:52.320 --> 00:58:55.280
mention. Porter Mooser, you probably
deserve it. You deserve it, like

851
00:58:55.320 --> 00:59:00.119
in the office, whenever they gave
Toby as you suck portmos just have a

852
00:59:00.280 --> 00:59:07.480
Daniel Jones seventeen passing touchdowns and seven
interceptions a year where they went eight eight

853
00:59:07.480 --> 00:59:15.039
and one kind of year. It's
like, you did just not atrocious enough

854
00:59:15.599 --> 00:59:19.880
to keep your job one more year
somehow yep yep. And next year in

855
00:59:19.960 --> 00:59:22.039
the SEC they'll go eight and ten
and will be like, should they fire

856
00:59:22.079 --> 00:59:24.800
a porter? Oh, well,
you know they're on the babble. They

857
00:59:24.840 --> 00:59:28.079
might get in. He needs a
couple of tournament wins. Let's save his

858
00:59:28.199 --> 00:59:32.880
job. Every year we're gonna do
this. It's eternal and endless. Other

859
00:59:34.199 --> 00:59:37.239
games, Well, this is gonna
be a speed run here because we need

860
00:59:37.280 --> 00:59:40.280
to move. But we'll always make
time to talk about Duke taking a fat

861
00:59:40.400 --> 00:59:45.400
l at home. With most of
the conference races already decided entering Saturday,

862
00:59:45.599 --> 00:59:49.239
it wasn't a particularly suspenseful afternoon,
and honestly, the game's kind of sucked

863
00:59:49.480 --> 00:59:52.840
like Kansas, but we did get
a verdict in the ACC as number seven

864
00:59:52.920 --> 00:59:57.760
North Carolina went into Cameron Indoor and
took down number nine Duke impressively eighty four

865
00:59:57.760 --> 01:00:00.000
to seventy nine, and a game
they controlled. They were up double digits

866
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:04.239
most of the second half. Do
get some late shots to make it look

867
01:00:04.239 --> 01:00:07.519
a little closer than it was.
The Tar Heels clinched the ACC crown thirty

868
01:00:07.519 --> 01:00:13.559
one points from future Ku killer Cormac
Ryan. I can't even imagine if Kansas

869
01:00:13.559 --> 01:00:16.920
somehow draws him. Kyle philip House
is not gonna be good enough to end

870
01:00:16.960 --> 01:00:22.039
up playing North Carolina. That's sad. Kyle Philipowski great a douchebag. Kyle

871
01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:25.679
Philipowski tried to trip somebody with the
same leg that he thought was gonna need

872
01:00:25.719 --> 01:00:30.559
amputated a week prior and John Shire
is an imbecile. How many Big twelve

873
01:00:30.599 --> 01:00:36.480
coaches are better than John Shire.
I think it's at least six, at

874
01:00:36.559 --> 01:00:45.280
least self, Drew Alzberger, Uh, those are easy, yeah, Samson,

875
01:00:45.559 --> 01:00:51.719
I would take mccas. I would
take Dawkins maybe. Yeah, yeah,

876
01:00:51.760 --> 01:00:53.840
I look at the it's it's wild. I would. I would take

877
01:00:54.039 --> 01:01:00.400
Shire. I would take Shire over
over Porter Moosure. I would. I

878
01:01:00.440 --> 01:01:04.760
have to admit that I know that's
Sary. Yeah, I take him over

879
01:01:04.800 --> 01:01:08.280
the SEC bound guys. But yeah, Kyle Philipowski, good on you for

880
01:01:08.320 --> 01:01:12.039
bringing the Grace Snell and back then
he tried to act like he was hurt.

881
01:01:12.039 --> 01:01:14.440
He's like hobbling up the court,
dude, we see through your herd

882
01:01:14.440 --> 01:01:17.599
antics. Duke deserved it. Duke's
good, like they're twenty four and seven,

883
01:01:17.760 --> 01:01:22.000
But man, it feels like every
time you're there, ready to take

884
01:01:22.119 --> 01:01:25.800
Duke to the next level, like
ready to all. They've beaten some lousy

885
01:01:25.840 --> 01:01:29.960
teams, let's see how they prove
themselves on the big stage. They're just

886
01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:32.480
not really that competitive. I think
they're a good not great team, which

887
01:01:32.519 --> 01:01:38.840
is okay, It's just it's not
Duke on their curry team Number two Yukon

888
01:01:39.119 --> 01:01:43.480
put some polish on their biggest title, winning big at Providence seventy four to

889
01:01:43.519 --> 01:01:45.960
sixty to finish eighteen and two in
league play. Behind them was a tie

890
01:01:45.960 --> 01:01:50.320
for second place between number eight Marquette, who won it Xavier by a handful,

891
01:01:50.559 --> 01:01:52.400
and number tend Graayton, who blew
a thirty two to eight lead.

892
01:01:52.440 --> 01:01:55.519
They were up thirty two to eight
at Villanova and they had to win on

893
01:01:55.559 --> 01:01:59.800
a buzzer beater from Trey Alexander.
They did end up getting the WINNI the

894
01:01:59.880 --> 01:02:04.719
way though, Big East. They
have three legitimately really good teams entering the

895
01:02:04.719 --> 01:02:07.039
Big Dance? Which one do you
think's going farthest? Yukon is gonna go

896
01:02:07.079 --> 01:02:10.639
the furthest But I think Creighton's better
than Marquette. I trust Creighton better than

897
01:02:10.679 --> 01:02:15.800
Marquette. They're healthier too. Tyler
Kolik is he healthy? He has to

898
01:02:15.800 --> 01:02:19.440
be. He hadn't played in a
while, He's missed two weeks with an

899
01:02:19.440 --> 01:02:22.880
oblique and his status is basically a
shrug. If he comes back, he's

900
01:02:22.920 --> 01:02:28.119
an X factor that Creyton probably doesn't
have. But without him, Yeah,

901
01:02:28.320 --> 01:02:32.800
and and Marquette, booth just shaka
okay, at your own risk. In

902
01:02:32.840 --> 01:02:37.360
the SEC number fourteen, Kentucky continues
to heat up. We are absolutely picking

903
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:40.639
them two rounds further than we should
in our brackets. This year, they

904
01:02:40.679 --> 01:02:45.400
scored a great win at number four
Tennessee eighty five eighty one. Tennessee had

905
01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:47.920
to end the year at Alabama at
South Carolina, Kentucky at home. That's

906
01:02:47.960 --> 01:02:52.360
brutal. Dalton Connect, I'm looking
at you, Wayne Kerk corrected the way

907
01:02:52.360 --> 01:02:57.920
we pronounced Dalton Connect has put up
a forty burger and it wasn't enough.

908
01:02:58.119 --> 01:03:00.599
Ever, Notice how every team has
a white that can shoot threes except for

909
01:03:00.679 --> 01:03:06.639
one dam In Kentucky's case, it's
Reed Sheppard, who scored twenty seven point

910
01:03:07.079 --> 01:03:10.880
good seven threes. Dudes, ridiculous. He's shooting fifty two percent from deep.

911
01:03:10.920 --> 01:03:15.800
This year, Reed Shepard had more
had had more than half as many

912
01:03:15.840 --> 01:03:20.079
threes in one game as al Marco
Jackson does in a season. He had

913
01:03:20.079 --> 01:03:22.880
more than double amount three's Kansas men
in the last game he made as he

914
01:03:22.960 --> 01:03:29.760
made one fewer three than Hunter Dickinson
has in conference play. That's I hate

915
01:03:29.800 --> 01:03:34.280
this. I hate Kentucky's good final
SEC standings. Tennessee wins the league,

916
01:03:34.360 --> 01:03:37.559
then a log jam Kentucky, thirteen
Auburn, sixteen Bama who needed over time

917
01:03:37.559 --> 01:03:43.159
to be Darkansas, and seventeen South
Carolina upset there they all tied thirteen and

918
01:03:43.280 --> 01:03:45.679
five one game back. Which of
those teams do you think goes furthest than

919
01:03:45.679 --> 01:03:49.599
the dance? Go ahead and say
Kentucky and all curb your enthusiasm us in

920
01:03:49.599 --> 01:03:53.199
a week. I think it is
actually Tennessee. Uh. Of those next

921
01:03:53.280 --> 01:03:57.000
I think they're the best and they
have the best individual player. Yes,

922
01:03:57.119 --> 01:04:00.760
they're the best. But of the
next group, is it Kentucky. Oh,

923
01:04:00.760 --> 01:04:06.559
it's not Alabama. It is Kentucky. Even though Kentucky and Alabama are

924
01:04:06.639 --> 01:04:12.360
essentially a clone of each other.
I don't know if I can do that

925
01:04:12.559 --> 01:04:15.679
though, because Alabama's better coached,
Kentucky's better tea. Yeah, that's the

926
01:04:15.679 --> 01:04:19.079
thing. I don't trust Caliperry at
all anymore. Yeah. I mean,

927
01:04:19.159 --> 01:04:23.800
NATO's hasn't done anything in a tournament
either. But still, like I I

928
01:04:24.239 --> 01:04:28.639
it's Kentucky, it's Kentucky, Ana, South Carolina. Yeah, yeah,

929
01:04:28.679 --> 01:04:31.880
well that they're just untested. They
feel like a six to eleven upset because

930
01:04:31.880 --> 01:04:38.119
they've never been there. Unless when
nothing are going nowhere in the NCAA tournament

931
01:04:38.159 --> 01:04:41.880
is Missouri? Oh my? They
became just the second team ever to go

932
01:04:42.000 --> 01:04:45.280
oh to eighteen in SC play,
first time in over one hundred years.

933
01:04:45.480 --> 01:04:49.000
One hundred years. They didn't win
a conference game. They battled hard,

934
01:04:49.039 --> 01:04:53.199
but lost to LSU in the regular
season finale. At least they weren't to

935
01:04:53.239 --> 01:04:56.239
Paul, who, via having a
larger conference schedule, did technically have a

936
01:04:56.239 --> 01:05:00.760
worse record than the same winning percentage
at oh and twenty in the Big East.

937
01:05:00.320 --> 01:05:03.159
They're three and twenty eight on the
year. They played Nofah in the

938
01:05:03.159 --> 01:05:06.639
conference tournament opener. I think it's
gonna be three and twenty nine, just

939
01:05:06.639 --> 01:05:11.920
the Hunts as well. What was
Missouri's overall final record eight and twenty three.

940
01:05:12.599 --> 01:05:16.159
That's really bad too, they are
they went from seven to two to

941
01:05:16.280 --> 01:05:19.880
eight and twenty three, and yeah, they probably have one game left.

942
01:05:19.480 --> 01:05:24.760
You meant to say twenty lost Missouri
team. That's right, Yeah, that's

943
01:05:24.800 --> 01:05:28.639
I meant. I just got it
backwards. I have I have a disability

944
01:05:28.679 --> 01:05:32.360
that that makes it so I say
it backwards. So that explains that don't

945
01:05:32.400 --> 01:05:35.920
please, don't ask questions. I
will not be taking any further questions Big

946
01:05:36.000 --> 01:05:42.880
Ten number three produced smashed Wisconsin,
who is just freaking dreadful? They they

947
01:05:43.239 --> 01:05:46.360
are just awful to finish seventeen and
three in league play number twelve and no,

948
01:05:46.440 --> 01:05:49.599
I finished second? Can you name
who finished third and fourth? It's

949
01:05:49.679 --> 01:05:56.280
wild one of them must be Nebraska
and Nebraska was four? Yep, And

950
01:05:56.559 --> 01:05:58.880
oh man, who would be third? Is it? It's tom Izzo?

951
01:05:59.480 --> 01:06:03.639
Just freak no, he's such balls, he is so much. I don't

952
01:06:03.679 --> 01:06:06.320
know the Big the Big ten,
I really have no clue. And it's

953
01:06:06.360 --> 01:06:12.960
that bad who finished with a twelve
and eight and that's so great? Twelve

954
01:06:13.039 --> 01:06:17.320
and eight in the Big Ten?
Northwestern three games better than tom Izzo is

955
01:06:17.679 --> 01:06:24.000
awful. Yeah, that was preseason
Top ten Michigan State folks got five Michigan

956
01:06:24.000 --> 01:06:30.280
State. That was, wasn't it? Yep? AnyWho in a so much

957
01:06:30.320 --> 01:06:35.360
better conference? Obviously the PAC twelve
USC? Is this true? USC bet

958
01:06:35.360 --> 01:06:39.960
Arizona by double dig That feels like
not that feels like can't possibly be in

959
01:06:40.000 --> 01:06:43.840
the case it happened? Yep?
Wow, Okay, that was in La

960
01:06:44.840 --> 01:06:49.000
Arizona. That's fine, Arizona.
What was your sentence? Here? Plays

961
01:06:49.039 --> 01:06:51.719
plenty of NCAA title contenders to lose
to four No, I'm trying. I'm

962
01:06:51.760 --> 01:06:56.840
trying to butter them up. It's
totally okay. Plenty of NCAA title contenders

963
01:06:56.880 --> 01:07:00.280
lose to fourteen and seventeen USC teams. Nothing to worry about. Number eighteen.

964
01:07:00.400 --> 01:07:03.880
Washington State would have a shot to
tie for leg title had they not

965
01:07:04.119 --> 01:07:08.519
pooped their pants down the stretch at
which they did, and that's unfortunate.

966
01:07:09.440 --> 01:07:12.880
Washington State trying to get the first
Pack two title out of the way,

967
01:07:12.880 --> 01:07:15.440
but they couldn't do it. Yeah, the Wildcats won the league at fifteen

968
01:07:15.480 --> 01:07:18.440
to five, but they're a troach. That league is just so bad.

969
01:07:18.519 --> 01:07:24.559
And Arizona another team that can score
in a lot of points and also gives

970
01:07:24.639 --> 01:07:30.119
up a lot of points. The
WCC Tournament, they're already at the semifinals

971
01:07:30.239 --> 01:07:33.280
Gonzaga and Saint Mary's. But everyone
gets like five buys, so does yeah.

972
01:07:33.400 --> 01:07:36.119
Yeah, the top two seeds get
a bye to the semi final in

973
01:07:36.119 --> 01:07:41.960
that league, not playing as Pacific
because they lost by about as many miles

974
01:07:42.000 --> 01:07:45.280
as the Pacific is deep. No
way, the Pacific is only like six

975
01:07:45.320 --> 01:07:48.440
miles deep. That's how about wide
pacifics thousands of miles wide? They lost

976
01:07:48.480 --> 01:07:53.440
by about a thousand points, So
sad ranked teams to lose since the last

977
01:07:53.440 --> 01:07:56.599
show, there's a lot of high
ranked teams here. Number four Tennessee lost

978
01:07:56.639 --> 01:08:00.719
to Kentucky. On number five Arizona
they lost to us SEE. Number six

979
01:08:00.840 --> 01:08:05.400
Iowa State lost to the Fighting Tangs. Number eleven Baylor the lost of Texas

980
01:08:05.440 --> 01:08:11.559
Tech. Here we have Kansas.
They didn't escape. They lost fourteen.

981
01:08:11.639 --> 01:08:15.319
Kansas lost by one hundred at Houston. Future Kansas defeaters. Number twenty four

982
01:08:15.359 --> 01:08:20.600
South Florida lost to Tulsa. Yeah
and uh then' that's all folks. Let's

983
01:08:20.640 --> 01:08:26.359
do ask GARCB. All right,
we need to do a rapid fire around

984
01:08:26.359 --> 01:08:29.760
here so we can predict Kansas to
win the Big twelve tournament with enough beats

985
01:08:29.760 --> 01:08:32.039
to spare. If you ever have
ascarcbs, you know what to do here.

986
01:08:32.159 --> 01:08:35.119
Let's start with camb Lipook Golf,
who says, thoughts on, here

987
01:08:35.159 --> 01:08:39.039
come four names at you. Okay, I needed to rank them. Cracker

988
01:08:39.039 --> 01:08:42.920
Barrel, waffle House, Denny's.
I hop never been to Denny's, never

989
01:08:43.000 --> 01:08:45.640
been to waffle house. Cracker Barrel
is better than I hop, though,

990
01:08:45.720 --> 01:08:48.079
no, it's not. That's all
bad takes one. I Hop, the

991
01:08:48.159 --> 01:08:53.079
rest or, crap, I Hop, waffle house, cracker barrel, Denny's.

992
01:08:53.199 --> 01:08:55.560
I would rather eat out of a
dumpster than eat at Denny's, if

993
01:08:55.600 --> 01:08:59.079
we're being honest. That feels right. That's everything I've ever heard about Denny's.

994
01:08:59.079 --> 01:09:01.279
Never been, never want to go. Yeah, I hop's good.

995
01:09:01.399 --> 01:09:05.439
Get out of here. I hop
is very mediocre. I'll tell you what

996
01:09:05.600 --> 01:09:09.760
sucks, and I don't need to
get onto a rant here. I hate

997
01:09:10.000 --> 01:09:14.880
first watch. First watch, I
sucks. It's not that bad. The

998
01:09:14.960 --> 01:09:18.640
potatoes are bad. It's like putting
toilet paper in your mouth. Oh,

999
01:09:18.720 --> 01:09:24.720
that feels harsh. That's some good
stuff at first watch at Stefan Timmy seventeen.

1000
01:09:24.800 --> 01:09:28.359
How many threes will this man make? When number three Kansas plays number

1001
01:09:28.399 --> 01:09:32.680
eleven Indiana State in the second round
of the NCAA tournament, and it is

1002
01:09:32.720 --> 01:09:36.359
a very white dude with goggles and
a big cross tattoo on his arm,

1003
01:09:36.720 --> 01:09:41.560
Like we're talking, however big you
think this cross tattoo is double it?

1004
01:09:43.239 --> 01:09:45.920
Yeah? I mean that's gotta be
a nice five of six. Indiana State

1005
01:09:46.039 --> 01:09:48.279
just lost the drake too. They're
not even gonna get the auto bid,

1006
01:09:48.359 --> 01:09:53.439
so we'll see. They may be
sweating it out at AJSN Underscore Official.

1007
01:09:53.800 --> 01:09:57.920
Is it cinderblocks or bags of flour
that are what Hunter Dickinson's hands are made

1008
01:09:57.920 --> 01:10:01.199
out of? Both, yes,
in their blocks wrapped in flower bags and

1009
01:10:01.239 --> 01:10:08.279
then shoulder dot exe has stopped responding
at Boom and Frosty. How much of

1010
01:10:08.319 --> 01:10:12.479
our problems are because of transfers not
understanding the history and what it means to

1011
01:10:12.479 --> 01:10:16.439
play at Kansas. Players are already
making a ton of money, so they

1012
01:10:16.439 --> 01:10:20.520
don't need to play through injuries.
Thomas Robinson and Frank Mason would never sit

1013
01:10:20.560 --> 01:10:24.720
out games if they were healthy enough. I mean, they weren't sitting out

1014
01:10:24.880 --> 01:10:30.399
mccoller's playing this. I literally thought
this was a parody question. I mean,

1015
01:10:30.520 --> 01:10:34.720
it is kind of true in the
sense that the tradition of hoops is

1016
01:10:34.840 --> 01:10:38.920
kind of changing with the transferring or
whatever. I don't think guys know as

1017
01:10:39.000 --> 01:10:43.079
much. But also Hunter Dickinson knows
his Kansas history and was very clear on

1018
01:10:43.119 --> 01:10:47.039
that, and people think he doesn't
care. Yeah, I could not disagree

1019
01:10:47.079 --> 01:10:51.560
with that. Take more. Totally
deserve this from at Gannon property who his

1020
01:10:51.760 --> 01:10:57.720
name is Big twelve Champs Number one
Houston and it says is it time to

1021
01:10:57.840 --> 01:11:02.640
rebuild the program. Yeah, I
thought I would ever say it is not

1022
01:11:02.680 --> 01:11:06.920
really not actually really, but that's
yeah, you get your laughs in I'll

1023
01:11:06.960 --> 01:11:11.119
i'll all out. I totally deserve
it. At Drew Watten, do you

1024
01:11:11.119 --> 01:11:14.239
have a history book that shows when
the Jayhawks last won three games in a

1025
01:11:14.359 --> 01:11:17.399
row. Yeah, it's actually it's
it's the nineteen eighty eight World Book.

1026
01:11:17.600 --> 01:11:20.319
I just have to get it out
and go find it's around then. I

1027
01:11:20.319 --> 01:11:24.720
think the last time they won three
in a row been a long time.

1028
01:11:24.800 --> 01:11:29.560
Yeah. At Preston Skirsik, are
you big sad today because I am big

1029
01:11:29.640 --> 01:11:34.840
sad today? No, really sad. No, I don't. I don't

1030
01:11:34.880 --> 01:11:38.920
have to be sad about a basketball
game for very long. All right,

1031
01:11:38.960 --> 01:11:43.479
I will take a we ask Dodge
people name a basketball team that is gonna

1032
01:11:43.479 --> 01:11:47.560
make the second weekend of the NCAA
Tournament. Kansas survey says, oh,

1033
01:11:48.239 --> 01:11:53.000
rats, I am, I am
sad. I am I'm not big sad,

1034
01:11:53.079 --> 01:11:56.800
but I am sad at Elliott rus
and h If Dickinson and mccullor are

1035
01:11:56.800 --> 01:11:59.399
game day decisions the rest of the
season, it's pretty much a wash,

1036
01:11:59.479 --> 01:12:05.159
right, Uh, yes, yep, yes, it's it's it's bad also

1037
01:12:05.239 --> 01:12:10.800
fun question, who do you think
is the better player kus Tyon, Grant

1038
01:12:10.840 --> 01:12:18.319
Foster or el Marco Jackson. Oh
somehow Tyne never really got a chance though,

1039
01:12:18.760 --> 01:12:23.600
Like, yeah, he did,
he did, and he was atrocious.

1040
01:12:23.840 --> 01:12:26.399
All right, Well maybe that's true. I'm glad he wasn't a McDonald's

1041
01:12:26.399 --> 01:12:29.800
All American, so my worst McDonald's
All American take now, he was only

1042
01:12:29.840 --> 01:12:33.279
the best Juco player that's ever played. If we are at show Mehawk,

1043
01:12:33.399 --> 01:12:36.359
if we're able to avoid Iowa State
in Houston case, I think we've got

1044
01:12:36.359 --> 01:12:41.000
a good shot of winning the Big
Twelve tournament title. Silence please, silence

1045
01:12:41.039 --> 01:12:48.840
please. You can say that got
the clown makeup and got the mister Rogers

1046
01:12:49.079 --> 01:12:54.399
mask and the nose. No,
you're right, though, that's the thing,

1047
01:12:54.520 --> 01:12:58.560
Like that they should win the first
game. They've always handled Baylor in

1048
01:12:58.600 --> 01:13:02.359
that setting. I State isn't super
daunting, Like they do have a good

1049
01:13:02.399 --> 01:13:06.640
path their path as the sixth day, don't They don't have a good path.

1050
01:13:08.039 --> 01:13:11.119
No, their eighth lost Big Twelve
team has a good path way Okay,

1051
01:13:11.159 --> 01:13:14.760
their path as the six is better
than it would be at the four

1052
01:13:14.760 --> 01:13:17.840
of the five. Yeah, only
because of Houston, though, I still

1053
01:13:18.039 --> 01:13:21.640
takes bodies in that arena. They
do, they do, It's there,

1054
01:13:21.680 --> 01:13:25.640
It's what they live for. More
from Show Me Hawk, how come we

1055
01:13:25.720 --> 01:13:30.600
haven't had Bill Farmer, Goofy's voice
actor, sit courtside at Allen Field eals

1056
01:13:30.640 --> 01:13:33.399
He was born in Pratt, Kansas
and went to Kansas. Did you know

1057
01:13:33.479 --> 01:13:36.079
that? I didn't know that.
I learned something new. I didn't know

1058
01:13:36.079 --> 01:13:40.279
that either. Every time I will
be one hundred and I will see a

1059
01:13:40.279 --> 01:13:43.399
picture of Goofy and I will think
his actor wins to Kansas. Now like

1060
01:13:43.439 --> 01:13:45.359
that is what I will think.
Yep. A couple more from Show Me

1061
01:13:45.399 --> 01:13:49.760
Hawk. Sow one of those conference
realignment projections going around and one of no,

1062
01:13:49.760 --> 01:13:53.119
no, no, no, no, please please tell me this isn't

1063
01:13:53.119 --> 01:13:58.560
real. One of them. One
of them had Virginia in the Big Twelve.

1064
01:13:59.119 --> 01:14:03.560
Oh my go as Big Twelve fans, Houston and Virginia to play forty

1065
01:14:03.600 --> 01:14:10.479
to thirty. No, Houston's so
much better. It'd be forty to zero.

1066
01:14:11.880 --> 01:14:15.600
They are so much Virginia is not
scoring on. Houston says, as

1067
01:14:15.640 --> 01:14:17.600
Big twelve fans, we need to
come together and make sure Virginia is banned

1068
01:14:17.600 --> 01:14:21.199
from the Big Twelve. Tony Bennett
is not welcome here. Yes, while

1069
01:14:21.199 --> 01:14:26.279
we're at it, we should reopen
Alcatraz and throw Tony Bennett there just to

1070
01:14:26.319 --> 01:14:30.600
make sure he's no. We're close
to this precious sport. Would you rather

1071
01:14:30.880 --> 01:14:33.680
have the big twelve fold and just
dissolve into nothing? Or Virginia's in the

1072
01:14:33.760 --> 01:14:39.760
league the first one. I don't
want Virginia anywhere near my life. I

1073
01:14:39.840 --> 01:14:42.920
hate them so much, Like you
don't know how much I hate Virginia.

1074
01:14:43.119 --> 01:14:45.119
I might hate Virginia more than I
hate the Broncos at this point. Wow,

1075
01:14:45.199 --> 01:14:50.039
at show me hawk if over the
season, I've grown to respect Houston

1076
01:14:50.119 --> 01:14:54.119
in the same way I respect Baylor
and a lot of the other teams in

1077
01:14:54.159 --> 01:14:59.840
the conference agreed. Houston and Kansas
should be a great rivalry for years to

1078
01:14:59.840 --> 01:15:01.920
come. Two Hall of Fame coaches, and Houston's great, Like, there's

1079
01:15:01.960 --> 01:15:06.680
absolutely no reason to dislike Houston except
for if you're envious. Yeah, I

1080
01:15:06.680 --> 01:15:11.840
think that's pretty true. Houston's great. Uh, And I think we've actually

1081
01:15:11.880 --> 01:15:15.159
moved through this pretty quickly here at
Boom and Frosty. If I think Self

1082
01:15:15.199 --> 01:15:18.159
is realizing his style of recruiting three
four year dudes, making them learn his

1083
01:15:18.199 --> 01:15:21.800
system, by sitting for a year
or two is not how college works anymore.

1084
01:15:23.039 --> 01:15:26.359
Transfer portal is just too easy for
players and coaches. Not sure how

1085
01:15:26.439 --> 01:15:29.239
much he sticks around, how much
longer he sticks around. He said this

1086
01:15:29.319 --> 01:15:31.199
before. He has said that he
hates the way that this is. I

1087
01:15:31.199 --> 01:15:34.159
think a lot of coaches do.
But I think you're right. Most of

1088
01:15:34.199 --> 01:15:39.359
his best players, Wilson at Bogie, Mason Graham, they were they were

1089
01:15:39.399 --> 01:15:44.439
four year guys that grew. He's
really only had two electric one and Don's

1090
01:15:44.680 --> 01:15:47.279
and that was Jackson and Wiggins.
Grady Dick was good, Graty Dick was

1091
01:15:47.319 --> 01:15:51.720
really good. But those are solid
ones. Is Grady Dick his third best

1092
01:15:51.720 --> 01:15:57.800
one and done? Because that almost
feels displine counting Joel Embiid. Uh,

1093
01:15:57.880 --> 01:16:00.279
Yeah, yes, I guess Embiid
is a weird case to be fair.

1094
01:16:00.880 --> 01:16:04.039
Yeah, Grady Dick had a better
year than Joel Embiid did at Kansas,

1095
01:16:04.880 --> 01:16:09.760
right, but obviously, Yeah,
that's where the comparison stops to this point

1096
01:16:09.840 --> 01:16:13.039
unless Grady dig becomes one of like
the four best guards in the NBA.

1097
01:16:13.079 --> 01:16:15.399
And he's been a lot better too. He's been a good He's been really

1098
01:16:15.399 --> 01:16:18.840
good recently at Boom and Frosty also
says, who is Bill Self's eventual replacement?

1099
01:16:19.119 --> 01:16:21.479
If we seem like we go through
this a couple times a year.

1100
01:16:21.520 --> 01:16:26.239
If if if I had two calls, my first call is Jay Wright.

1101
01:16:26.279 --> 01:16:28.960
I don't think he takes it,
but I make him say no. My

1102
01:16:29.079 --> 01:16:31.399
next call is Billy Donovan, who
I don't think takes it, but I

1103
01:16:31.479 --> 01:16:35.079
make him say no. If I
need to call Scott Drew, Scott Drew's,

1104
01:16:35.319 --> 01:16:40.560
I would go Scott Drew, Tommy
Lloyd, Nate Oates. Those are

1105
01:16:40.600 --> 01:16:44.199
my three in the current era of
college basketball that I'm calling. I think

1106
01:16:44.880 --> 01:16:46.760
a little bit of a buffoon,
so I don't think i'd call him anymore.

1107
01:16:46.800 --> 01:16:49.840
I think he's a little wacky,
but I think he's a brilliant basketball

1108
01:16:49.840 --> 01:16:53.560
coach. Yeah, Scott Drew,
I would one hundred percent listen to Scott

1109
01:16:53.640 --> 01:16:56.840
Drew. The man can recruit.
He's had more one and done success than

1110
01:16:56.880 --> 01:17:00.800
Bill self lately. Yeah, much
more. Do you ever have any ask

1111
01:17:00.920 --> 01:17:03.279
arcbs? Use Twitter hashtag ask ARCB. We did a good job. Look

1112
01:17:03.319 --> 01:17:10.119
at that we went fast speed run
Big Twelve Tournament preview okay Land, and

1113
01:17:10.119 --> 01:17:17.720
who do you have the Jayhawks beating
in the finals themselves at Mario Kart because

1114
01:17:17.760 --> 01:17:20.680
they'll have gone home on Thursday,
so they'll have had plenty of time to

1115
01:17:20.720 --> 01:17:25.199
set up there. We whatever,
we still think. I still play,

1116
01:17:25.640 --> 01:17:28.840
I still play the Wii, I
still play we Sports sometimes, sir,

1117
01:17:29.159 --> 01:17:30.840
it's a good game. Nintendo switches. What you would play Mario Kart on

1118
01:17:30.880 --> 01:17:35.279
if you were younger than you are. Yes, that's that's the And Mario

1119
01:17:35.399 --> 01:17:39.439
Kart eight is not as good as
Mario Kart Wei, so I you were

1120
01:17:39.479 --> 01:17:43.720
missing out. So in this Big
twelve tournament, Kansas, let's start with

1121
01:17:43.760 --> 01:17:47.079
the Kansas preview. They're either going
to play number eleven Cincinnati or number fourteen

1122
01:17:47.159 --> 01:17:51.279
West Virginia. The game will be
on Wednesday night at eight thirty as long

1123
01:17:51.319 --> 01:17:56.800
as Kansas plays until the finals,
they're playing at eight thirty PM. Yeh

1124
01:17:57.439 --> 01:18:00.960
fine for us. Not great,
stay up until like ten thirty. I'm

1125
01:18:01.000 --> 01:18:05.520
going camping the next day and you
have to do a podcast in there until

1126
01:18:05.720 --> 01:18:09.840
yeah. Oh my gosh, yep, are you leaving? Are you at

1127
01:18:09.920 --> 01:18:14.439
leave at six am for camping?
Guy? No? I hope not goodness.

1128
01:18:14.479 --> 01:18:16.720
I hope it's not that early.
I think Kansas is going to draw

1129
01:18:16.760 --> 01:18:20.199
Cincinnati because West Virginia just lost to
them by a lot, But West Virginia

1130
01:18:20.279 --> 01:18:24.520
is a little more familiar with this
tournament, so it wouldn't stun me if

1131
01:18:24.520 --> 01:18:27.680
they win. I think it's close. But this is a good enough first

1132
01:18:27.720 --> 01:18:30.119
draw for Kansas. They're going to
be they should. Yeah, there'll be

1133
01:18:30.159 --> 01:18:33.479
a seven or eight point favorite.
We don't know who they're gonna have on

1134
01:18:33.479 --> 01:18:39.880
their color and Dickinson then who knows? Then big shrug. But we think

1135
01:18:39.960 --> 01:18:44.359
Kansas is going to beat Cincinnati?
Correct? Yeah, I think they would

1136
01:18:44.359 --> 01:18:46.560
be either of those teams. All
right, So let's pick the other games

1137
01:18:46.640 --> 01:18:51.920
and then we'll do Thursday, number
thirteen Oklahoma State versus number twelve Central Florida,

1138
01:18:53.199 --> 01:18:56.560
Wednesday at eleven thirty am Big twelve. Hoops. Boy, you thought

1139
01:18:56.600 --> 01:19:00.760
the Thursday, the old Wednesday night
tickets were cheap? Do you think?

1140
01:19:00.119 --> 01:19:03.479
Sorry, that's Tuesday. I take
it back. How much do you think

1141
01:19:03.600 --> 01:19:10.800
Tuesday morning Big twelve tournament tickets will
cost? Should be less than ten dollars

1142
01:19:10.880 --> 01:19:14.640
by lot, a couple of pesos
at most. Yeah, I will take

1143
01:19:14.880 --> 01:19:17.640
UCF to beat Oklahoma State, even
though I could see that same logic here,

1144
01:19:17.760 --> 01:19:20.439
we could go again. I don't
have anything going on on Tuesday.

1145
01:19:20.800 --> 01:19:25.680
Oh my gosh, how ugly are
these games gonna be? We can get

1146
01:19:25.720 --> 01:19:30.119
chicken tenders again. I I was
sounding good, taamntion that not gonna lie

1147
01:19:31.119 --> 01:19:34.600
though. I would rather take my
shot with those chicken tenders again. Really,

1148
01:19:34.640 --> 01:19:39.680
I would then go to Pizza Street. Yeah, because I mean one

1149
01:19:39.720 --> 01:19:43.479
of the odds, I get food
poisoning twice, the same thing. And

1150
01:19:43.600 --> 01:19:48.079
now food poisoning must be just horrendous
because neither one of us had that bad

1151
01:19:48.199 --> 01:19:51.039
of No, it was very tame
as far as that kind of thing goes.

1152
01:19:51.279 --> 01:19:57.800
Like can you imagine if you legitimately
had like like hospitalization worthy food poisoning,

1153
01:19:57.840 --> 01:20:01.319
Which is one of the things bothers
me is when people get a stomach

1154
01:20:01.439 --> 01:20:05.399
virus that last twenty four hours and
they say, oh I had food poisoning.

1155
01:20:05.760 --> 01:20:10.680
That's unpleasant, not a fun way
to spend a day. But food

1156
01:20:10.720 --> 01:20:15.279
poisoning is like getting hit by a
semi Compared to your I picked up a

1157
01:20:15.319 --> 01:20:17.880
twenty four hour bug from a doorknob
because I didn't wash my hands. Food

1158
01:20:17.880 --> 01:20:21.239
poisoning makes you think about bad and
not even that bad, right, Yeah,

1159
01:20:21.279 --> 01:20:26.159
exactly. Food poisoning, like in
the severe case would make you question

1160
01:20:26.279 --> 01:20:30.239
if death is the better option,
right, And sometimes it can be about

1161
01:20:30.279 --> 01:20:34.239
that bad and sometimes it can cause
problems, like it doesn't just go away,

1162
01:20:34.399 --> 01:20:38.760
and like like people think if they're
fine three hours after they ate something,

1163
01:20:38.800 --> 01:20:41.520
they're fine. Sometimes it can take
weeks for like e coli to strike.

1164
01:20:42.159 --> 01:20:44.479
Well, even with our thing,
like neither of us felt bad going

1165
01:20:44.520 --> 01:20:46.319
home. We were totally fine.
Woke up in the middle of the night

1166
01:20:46.399 --> 01:20:49.439
and was like, oh crap,
that don't feel too good. Really,

1167
01:20:49.760 --> 01:20:54.840
yeah, yeah, because my tummy
never hurt. It was everything lower than

1168
01:20:54.880 --> 01:20:59.960
that. Yeah, exactly. It
was not pleasant. But anyway, there

1169
01:21:00.119 --> 01:21:02.640
be chicken tenders consumed here. I
hope everyone. I hope everyone loves that

1170
01:21:02.720 --> 01:21:06.840
tangent e cole I might be about
as bad as West Virginia, but I

1171
01:21:06.880 --> 01:21:12.239
still think that Cincinnati beats West Virginia. And I think that I think that

1172
01:21:12.600 --> 01:21:16.239
UCF beats Oklahoma State. Yes,
right, I think, yes, I

1173
01:21:16.279 --> 01:21:18.880
agree. I agree. Let's let's
move on to the Wednesday game. So

1174
01:21:18.920 --> 01:21:23.880
now you're picking a bracket. This
is this is a Pickham point here through

1175
01:21:23.920 --> 01:21:27.039
Wednesday, but you're picking a bracket
at this point. So we would both

1176
01:21:27.079 --> 01:21:30.119
have number twelve Central Florida against number
five b YU. I don't want to

1177
01:21:30.119 --> 01:21:34.800
pick too much chalk, but I
think we probably want the Cougars. Yeah,

1178
01:21:34.840 --> 01:21:39.119
I do, and I think they'll
take care of UCF. Number nine

1179
01:21:39.159 --> 01:21:45.039
Oklahoma versus number eight TCU on Wednesday. I do not care how Yeah,

1180
01:21:45.039 --> 01:21:49.479
but TCU is better. They are
better. If Oklahoma goes one and done

1181
01:21:49.479 --> 01:21:53.319
here, I want every team in
the land to pass them on their way

1182
01:21:53.359 --> 01:21:57.039
to it and missing the tournament because
I hate them. And number ten Kansas,

1183
01:21:57.239 --> 01:22:03.600
Number ten Kansas State against number seven
Texas, I want one last time.

1184
01:22:03.720 --> 01:22:09.000
I want to sit tang one more
time. I want to do it.

1185
01:22:09.079 --> 01:22:11.960
But I think Texas is just better, Like I think they're just a

1186
01:22:12.000 --> 01:22:15.960
better team. I kid State normally
plays pretty well in this tournament. They

1187
01:22:16.000 --> 01:22:20.119
feel like they eliminate TCU in it
every year. But I will take Texas

1188
01:22:20.159 --> 01:22:23.760
and I don't feel great about it. I kind of hope case State wins

1189
01:22:23.800 --> 01:22:26.640
because I want to see him in
the dance because it would hurt Oklahoma.

1190
01:22:26.960 --> 01:22:30.039
And then we all want Kansas to
beat Cincinnati. So okay, So moving

1191
01:22:30.119 --> 01:22:35.840
forth, now into Thursday's quarterfinals,
you would have four Texas Tech against five

1192
01:22:36.000 --> 01:22:41.239
BYU. I will take the Cougars. Yeah, I think I would as

1193
01:22:41.239 --> 01:22:46.760
well. BYU's playing mostly really solid
basketball. Yep. Number one Houston against

1194
01:22:46.840 --> 01:22:49.800
we would have number eight TCU.
I think it's close for a while,

1195
01:22:49.960 --> 01:22:53.840
but I mean this is a this
is that would be a revenge game for

1196
01:22:53.920 --> 01:22:58.720
Houston. I think they eventually rip
someone's throat out. Yeah, and then

1197
01:22:58.760 --> 01:23:00.800
we'd have what I'm trying to do
them on this Number two Iowa State against

1198
01:23:00.880 --> 01:23:04.399
the k State Texas winner. Is
there any scenario there that you don't want

1199
01:23:04.439 --> 01:23:10.159
Iowa State winning? I think either
team could give them a run, but

1200
01:23:10.199 --> 01:23:13.359
I think I would take Iowa State
either way. I am gonna curb your

1201
01:23:13.439 --> 01:23:18.039
enthusiasm up and pick Texas to take
down Iowa State and their home court.

1202
01:23:18.239 --> 01:23:24.239
I think Texas is a better roster
than Iowa State. I truth the Cowboys,

1203
01:23:24.279 --> 01:23:27.760
man, I know the Cowboys are
a better roster than the Packers.

1204
01:23:29.520 --> 01:23:31.600
Yeah. Yeah, on a roll
with it. And then we would have

1205
01:23:32.439 --> 01:23:41.520
three Baylor against six Kansas. I
am going to it really really yeah.

1206
01:23:41.560 --> 01:23:45.199
Like again, if if mccula and
Dickinson were to both play, and I

1207
01:23:45.279 --> 01:23:47.800
knew that, I might feel a
little better about Kansas, especially in Kansas

1208
01:23:47.800 --> 01:23:50.199
City. But I don't know what's
gonna happen. And then I'm gonna pick,

1209
01:23:50.560 --> 01:23:54.239
and I'm not convinced that they aren't
gonna just punt the rest of the

1210
01:23:54.239 --> 01:23:58.920
season. I say, Kansas wins. Yes, I'm a Homer, give

1211
01:23:58.960 --> 01:24:02.560
me Kansas or give me Semis.
We'd have Houston, and BYU we probably

1212
01:24:02.560 --> 01:24:08.199
want Houston. Yeah, I do
want Houston. And then you would have

1213
01:24:08.319 --> 01:24:13.800
Iowa State, Baylor, and Kansas. Yeah, and I'll go with Bill.

1214
01:24:14.199 --> 01:24:15.840
Come on, Bill, three wins
in a row, Jayhawks to the

1215
01:24:15.840 --> 01:24:19.800
finals, Iowa State because they just
like I said, they just rack up

1216
01:24:19.840 --> 01:24:26.920
bodies in that stadium. Mister mister
I make ballsy calls going with a one

1217
01:24:27.000 --> 01:24:30.359
v. Two final, and mister
Kansas Homer going with a one v.

1218
01:24:30.520 --> 01:24:33.279
Kansas final. Look at us really
living up to our brand names. And

1219
01:24:33.319 --> 01:24:36.479
then in the finals, I think
Houston wins this tournament. It wouldn't surprise

1220
01:24:36.560 --> 01:24:41.319
me if they don't. But I
think Houston beats Kansas and what would be

1221
01:24:41.319 --> 01:24:45.319
a pretty close finale. Yeah,
I Houston is legit one of Well,

1222
01:24:45.399 --> 01:24:48.159
I think I think you're probably right. I think they are maybe the best

1223
01:24:48.159 --> 01:24:51.399
team in the country. At worst, they are probably two. So I

1224
01:24:51.399 --> 01:24:56.119
think they are gonna win this,
So we think Kansas is really good at

1225
01:24:56.119 --> 01:24:59.479
home. If their next game was
at Allen field House. Is there any

1226
01:24:59.520 --> 01:25:02.640
team in the twelve you'd pick to
win if Houston played at Kansas on Wednesday

1227
01:25:02.680 --> 01:25:06.000
night? Would you pick Houston to
win an Allen after watching what just happened,

1228
01:25:06.079 --> 01:25:09.560
Yes, but that is one of
the only teams I would take there.

1229
01:25:10.039 --> 01:25:13.359
So Sprint Center is an Allen field
House, but it is going to

1230
01:25:13.479 --> 01:25:18.000
still be a very pro Jyhawk crowd. Kansas normally plays well injuries. The

1231
01:25:18.039 --> 01:25:21.600
injuries factor in a lot in the
mindset of this team at this point,

1232
01:25:21.640 --> 01:25:24.880
factors in a lot because well,
they lost three to the last four and

1233
01:25:24.920 --> 01:25:29.119
they just took a thirty point beat
down. You don't think that they are

1234
01:25:29.199 --> 01:25:32.520
going to I think at least one
of mccullor and Dickinson plays, and that's

1235
01:25:32.680 --> 01:25:36.800
enough to beat Cincy, and it's
enough to at least be in a coin

1236
01:25:36.800 --> 01:25:42.560
flip with Baylor or Iowa State or
Texas or whoever's down there. Yeah,

1237
01:25:42.600 --> 01:25:44.279
I don't. I don't trust them
at all. I don't trust them at

1238
01:25:44.279 --> 01:25:45.760
all. I think they're done.
I think they're very done. I think

1239
01:25:45.760 --> 01:25:48.920
they lose to Iowa State if they
play them, because that kind of neutralizes

1240
01:25:48.960 --> 01:25:54.239
their fan advantage, right, and
I think that they beat I don't know.

1241
01:25:54.279 --> 01:25:57.640
I Baylor's never won this tournament.
They've never played that well in it,

1242
01:25:59.439 --> 01:26:01.359
which is why I that's how done
I think Kansas is. I think

1243
01:26:01.439 --> 01:26:04.840
Dan Kansas is completely cooked right now? All right, well, well it'll

1244
01:26:04.840 --> 01:26:08.439
be it'll be pretty good. Well
are you and I gonna do? So

1245
01:26:08.520 --> 01:26:11.359
what are we gonna do here?
Because we're not gonna have nick services because

1246
01:26:11.359 --> 01:26:15.119
these are all late shows. Are
we gonna record a Probably pretty short?

1247
01:26:15.199 --> 01:26:19.359
It would just be the recap because
there wouldn't be other games. So ike

1248
01:26:19.439 --> 01:26:26.600
Tuesday at some point, show a
Wednesday show and then I'm out because we

1249
01:26:26.640 --> 01:26:30.840
don't need to do a Tuesday show. They don't play till Wednesday. Well,

1250
01:26:30.880 --> 01:26:32.039
oh that's true. I guess if
we're not doing if we're not doing

1251
01:26:32.079 --> 01:26:35.000
an official preview, then yeah,
if we're just doing Wednesday, I can

1252
01:26:35.000 --> 01:26:40.520
only do Wednesday and then I'm I'm
going campus for a couplets. Okay,

1253
01:26:40.640 --> 01:26:43.880
all right, so you so what
are we are we really doing? The

1254
01:26:44.439 --> 01:26:47.479
after the after THEA? Is it
one of those that they're up fifty five

1255
01:26:47.600 --> 01:26:50.279
to thirty eight. We're just gonna
like, let's just go before it ends.

1256
01:26:50.279 --> 01:26:53.880
But we're gonna do a quick Wednesday
night show to get it out on

1257
01:26:53.960 --> 01:26:56.720
Thursday morning. Is that the plan? Uh? Yeah, I think if

1258
01:26:56.720 --> 01:27:00.680
we try to do maybe a forty
minute show we can do. That's probably

1259
01:27:00.680 --> 01:27:03.399
the plan. I can't imagine Kansas
Cincinnati will be that interesting. So how

1260
01:27:03.399 --> 01:27:08.680
it's gonna work is I will find
a way. One of them might be

1261
01:27:08.720 --> 01:27:12.720
a solo show. I can't promise
if they win Thursday, I will keep

1262
01:27:12.880 --> 01:27:17.319
posting shows for every day that they
win. But when they lose, we

1263
01:27:17.439 --> 01:27:20.680
may say, all right, we'll
wait till everyone's back in a few days

1264
01:27:20.720 --> 01:27:24.600
and then recap it. That probably
sounds fair, right. We don't need

1265
01:27:24.640 --> 01:27:29.359
to get an instant reaction loss show
out on if they lose Wednesday night.

1266
01:27:29.399 --> 01:27:31.479
We don't need that. No,
yeah, we can. We can wait

1267
01:27:31.520 --> 01:27:35.000
until Sunday and record again. All
right, Well, we'll go so you'll

1268
01:27:35.000 --> 01:27:39.359
get a If they win, you'll
get a show the next morning. If

1269
01:27:39.399 --> 01:27:42.359
they lose, you probably won't get
one until we have a bracket. That

1270
01:27:42.359 --> 01:27:45.800
feels right, Yeah, I think
that does feel right. All right,

1271
01:27:45.840 --> 01:27:48.159
we'll do that. This is inside
the paint on rock chalk flog. I

1272
01:27:48.279 --> 01:27:55.159
am sad. I am watching soccer. That's the Indiana Michigan State game is

1273
01:27:55.199 --> 01:27:59.119
three to nothing, and that is
already definitely more points than I've been scoring

1274
01:27:59.159 --> 01:28:01.000
the same amount. It's the same
amount of points as the soccer. Mike

1275
01:28:01.039 --> 01:28:03.960
Woodson is as bad as soccer.
I mean, that's that makes sense if

1276
01:28:03.960 --> 01:28:08.279
you think about it. Soccer is
great. Soccer is a beautiful game for

1277
01:28:08.399 --> 01:28:13.199
ready, all right, Well,
well, I don't criticize. I won't

1278
01:28:13.680 --> 01:28:16.640
point out that you wouldn't know what
a beautiful game is after watching Kansas your

1279
01:28:16.680 --> 01:28:20.399
whole life. You wouldn't have an
idea of that. Like, if that's

1280
01:28:20.439 --> 01:28:25.319
all you know, then not that
many beautiful games now? Yeah? Gross?

1281
01:28:25.640 --> 01:28:27.960
All right, well, we'll be
back when they win again. How

1282
01:28:27.960 --> 01:28:31.239
about that, which hopefully happens.
Bye.
