00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.240
Well, if you're going to start
a college basketball season, you may as

2
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:10.880
well start like that, because Kansas, looking like the number one team in

3
00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:16.039
the country for basically the entirety of
the night, goes to allenfield House and

4
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:23.280
absolutely clobbers North Carolina Central just a
can, just a big old whip can

5
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:27.480
of whoop you know what, whoop
ball, just to blow out from start

6
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:30.519
to finish, and we're pretty happy
about it. So we scampered on in

7
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.840
here real quick to do a podcast
recapping it because we're just grateful. Not

8
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:39.079
every top five team can say that
they escaped the evening undefeated. This is

9
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:44.079
Inside the Paint Show, number three, season number eleven on rockschalkblog dot Com.

10
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:48.159
I'm Ryan Landrath, I'm the ghost
of Tucker Vang, and I am

11
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.960
Tyan Grant Foster. Hey, Tyan, had a great night. No idea

12
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:57.520
what Tucker's up to. Here's a
question, would Tucker Vang have helped the

13
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.119
Kansas get to one hundred points in
the last five minutes because that's the only

14
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.359
thing that went wrong at the end. I think he's better than Dylan will

15
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.799
Hede. No shade to sir Dylan. I'm glad you get to play on

16
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.719
allenfield House floor. But that was
rough, Buddy, I mean Dylan will

17
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.040
hide at least is tall. Patrick
Cassidy fell down and then airball to the

18
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:21.400
three like that could have been Tucker. I think Tucker did do that many

19
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:26.079
times. Well, we are not
going to spend too much time analyzing the

20
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.159
walk Ons, but we will spend
lots of time analyzing what was a fantastic

21
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.560
opening night of basketball for the number
one Jayhawks. They have another game on

22
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.280
Friday and then Kentucky coming right up, So one more tune up. We're

23
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.879
gonna recap the first tune up,
preview the second tune up, and talk

24
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:45.120
about everything else in between. Let's
do it. Let's rock and roll.

25
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:55.159
Number one Kansas ninety nine, North
Carolina Central fifty six, Nick. The

26
00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:01.040
Jayhawks open their year in dominant fashion. Yeah, forty three point win,

27
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:06.120
dominant fashion, and it wasn't nearly
indicative of how dominant this performance was.

28
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.960
Performance was Kansas lent seventy nine to
thirty two to ten minutes left and ninety

29
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.680
five to forty with five minutes left. Bill So put all the walk Ons

30
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.199
in the game and watched them attempt
to play basketball over the final five minutes

31
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:22.719
and they closed a fifty five point
lead to just forty three. KAY led

32
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.919
fifty nine to eighteen at halftime.
They showcased everything in the fan base wanted

33
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:30.520
to see in their opener Land an
immediate reaction from this blowout non conference start.

34
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:34.680
Yeah, they looked like the number
one team. I know it's North

35
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:38.879
Carolina Central, which is probably something
we'll say a lot, but they looked

36
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:46.599
every bit the part of the national
title favorite coming into the season. Not

37
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:51.319
really a bad thing to talk about
here. I mean, if we wanted

38
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.520
to be extremely nitpicky, we could
talk about how Narco Jackson started kind of

39
00:02:54.520 --> 00:03:00.479
slow, which we'll get into.
But they looked amazing. Their ball movement

40
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.240
looked really good. Ryan pointed out, either in the chat or on Twitter

41
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.520
or wherever, that they looked like
they've been playing together for a long time.

42
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:12.319
And I think that is kind of
the benefit of playing not only a

43
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:16.199
couple exhibitions, but an exhibition against
a theoretically pretty good team, and then

44
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:22.879
also playing those out of country exhibitions
a couple months ago, that this team

45
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.319
has actually played together a lot more
than a lot of other bill Self teams

46
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.719
have. And you could definitely see
that. A lot of back cutting,

47
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.680
a lot of great ball movement,
and they shot the crap out of the

48
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:35.800
ball, which was really nice to
see considering how the exhibitions looked from that

49
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:42.280
department. But a really cohesive performance
from the Jayhawks and one that left absolutely

50
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.159
no doubt as to what your expectations
should be. They looked fantastic again North

51
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:50.360
Carolin Central, but they looked amazing. Yeah, we want to be careful

52
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:55.479
because we came in here after two
exhibitions and basically said, don't overreact to

53
00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:00.360
it's just a couple of basically glorified
scrimmages. So we want to take a

54
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.560
little bit of that same energy and
say don't overreact the other way to one

55
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:11.759
game that does count against a team
that's not going to make the NCAA tournament.

56
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.279
But yeah, they looked really good. Your answer to how do you

57
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:19.480
feel about Kansas after one game should
be the Leo DiCaprio Bye's hand gift,

58
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:27.480
because they were fantastic from start to
finish. Basically every starter had very positive

59
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:31.759
contributions throughout the night. I think
I actually think that you mentioned guys like

60
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:35.560
al Marco Jackson, who started slow
and Johnny Furfey started a little slow.

61
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:41.079
Those guys played pretty well after they
started to get going a little bit,

62
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.839
and then you had Hunter Dickinson and
Kevin mccullor going nuts from the very start

63
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:48.319
of the game. Yeah, just
an absolutely dominant first thirty to thirty five

64
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:53.079
minutes for Kansas. They are preseason
number one for a reason. We wondered

65
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:58.319
if they would still have the explosivity
without Artario Morris, and through one game

66
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:00.800
the answer is yes. They look
every bit as fast, like everybody is

67
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:02.240
athletic, and the chemistry, yeah, we'll talk about that here in a

68
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:05.519
little bit. They look as good
as we could have hoped for. Let's

69
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:10.040
lead off with the shooting. Kansas
shot seventy percent from the floor, which

70
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:13.399
is the highest I can remember it
being in a game that wasn't against Shamanad.

71
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.680
Ever, I don't know if we've
ever recapped a game against the Division

72
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:20.240
one opponent where they've shot seventy percent
from the floor. That just looks funny.

73
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:24.600
In the notes, thirteen for twenty
three from three, that's fifty seven

74
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:29.360
percent. The eight scholarship players because
Shumari mcdal didn't play, those numbers actually

75
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.240
were even better seventy four percent from
the floor, were the eight scholarship players,

76
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:36.800
eighty three percent on twos, sixty
percent from three, and just for

77
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:40.959
a cherry on top of that,
Sunday, one hundred percent on free throws.

78
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.560
It's a three point shooting WHI stood
out to you the most. It

79
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:47.439
was really rough against against the exhibition
opponents, and suddenly that was great Or

80
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:51.759
what was your biggest takeaway considering,
Yeah, considering the expectations and you know

81
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:58.040
what we saw from two games shooting
the ball, I would say the three

82
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:02.079
point shooting definite stood out, especially
with the absolute barrage that they unleashed early

83
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:06.959
in the game. Especially like the
shooting was was tough not to see.

84
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:10.800
Of course, the one hundred percent
of the line, that's really really encouraging.

85
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.879
How many free throws did they actually
shoot in this game? Numbers wise,

86
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:15.759
I don't know if we had that
in the notes off. They were

87
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.879
eight for ten, eight for ten. It's of course that's not too many,

88
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:24.439
but that's also something like free throw
shooting does not really matter your opponent

89
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.120
so much, you know, So
that's that's definitely good considering kind of the

90
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.000
struggles that they've had from the line. Off and on in recent years.

91
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:33.959
So that's that's also really encouraging.
Nick is also the three point shooting for

92
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:38.839
you did that stand out? Uh? Yeah, I mean the law of

93
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.879
averages says that they're not going to
shoot it as poorly as they did against

94
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:46.120
you know, Fort Hayes State in
Illinois. But I, like I said,

95
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.560
I don't you don't want to take
too much stock into a first exhibition

96
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:53.639
game, but I think KU fans
needed to pump the brakes a little bit

97
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:58.720
before jumping out completely off the KU
can't shoot threes at all train. You

98
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:03.160
know, it's gonna take a little
bit of time for guys like Nicholas Timberlake

99
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:08.800
to get going. Hunter Dickinson obviously
a great three point shooter for a Sinner,

100
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.959
and then Kevin mccouller the emergence of
him earlier this season, like Ryan

101
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:16.639
has in the notes, really becoming
that Ochi Boggie Jalen Wilson super senior season

102
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:20.759
type, and I think his three
point shooting is really gonna be a mark

103
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:24.680
of that this year. So I
think KAY fan should probably pump the brakes

104
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.079
a little bit on the threes.
I know it's gonna be concerned you know,

105
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:30.519
you don't have a true scoring point
guard. A guy like Artaria Morris

106
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.000
is not on the team anymore,
So you're gonna have to find ways to

107
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.680
score, is it Johnny Furfy?
You know? Is it? Al Marco

108
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.360
Jackson? Right now, it seems
pretty clear that at least a few of

109
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.240
these guys are gonna be stroking it
from three this year. I guess if

110
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:45.160
we're gonna mention Kevin mccullor Landon,
you may as well go ahead and read

111
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:46.920
off some stats. Gotta feel good
to read some stats. Spen a long

112
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:49.240
time, and this is a good
one to start with. Yeah, let's

113
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:54.680
get back into it. Uh.
He kind of looked like he might be

114
00:07:54.759 --> 00:08:00.759
taking that O Chai Jalen Wilson jump
juice. He looked the part you had

115
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:05.560
twenty two points again. I mean
again, anything we say here is caveated

116
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.639
slightly by its North Carolina central,
but he looks fantastic. Twenty two points.

117
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.519
It's the most he scored in a
Kansas uniform, eight for twelve from

118
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.519
the floor in twenty four minutes,
four to seven from behind the arc,

119
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.800
which again backs up what I've been
saying that I noticed that in the exhibition

120
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:26.319
games that mccullor's stroke has looked really, really smooth, and that definitely continued.

121
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:30.879
He knocked down his JS, six
rebounds, five assists to go along

122
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.360
with that. But yeah, McCuller, I kind of expected this. I

123
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.519
kind of expected him to take that
jump. It was nice to see him

124
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.879
shoot the ball well in games that
didn't count, really nice to see him

125
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.879
shoot the ball well in the game
that does count. But yeah, I

126
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.879
mean, Ryan, what do you
think here on McCuller. I think was

127
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.240
really really good and I expect him
to be a guy that is gonna flirt

128
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.440
with probably seventeen or eighteen at night. I know, again, bad opponent,

129
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.600
but I really think he's that good. If McCuller can finish in the

130
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.080
high thirties as a three point shooter, which I took an under on thirty

131
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.360
five percent at the beginning of the
year, because yeah, he's never been

132
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.519
better than a thirty one percent shooter, so that's a huge jump. But

133
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.240
if he gets into that thirty seven
thirty eight percent range, I think you

134
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.720
legitimately might be looking at a top
ten bill Self era player, because I

135
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.480
don't know what the weakness is at
that point. We know He's a defender

136
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.440
than Jalen Wilson and Oach Yep exactly. There's that He's He's one of the

137
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.720
ten best defenders in college basketball.
He's an All America caliber defender. He's

138
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:33.039
a very clutch player. We saw
that last year where he would be the

139
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:37.000
one, not Jalen Wilson, not
Grady Dick. It would be Kevin McCuller

140
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.000
that would hit the big shot at
the end of games, at the end

141
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.480
of regulation, the shot against Wisconsin
that senates overtime. He won the game

142
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:48.000
with game winners against Oklahoma State and
Oklahoma at home. He was the clutch

143
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:52.080
player down the stretch. He's got
that gene an elite ball handler. We

144
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.039
see the passing, the vision,
the IQ. I don't know what the

145
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:01.919
weakness about Kevin McCuller is if he's
gonna be a very good three point shooter.

146
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.639
On top of all that, he
looks like an NFL player out there

147
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.399
size wise, clearly a great athlete. I just don't know what the weakness

148
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.519
is if he's gonna be a very
good three point shooter, which means Kansas

149
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.399
very well may have three of the
best fifteen to twenty players in college basketball,

150
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:18.879
Nick, we were high on Kevin
McCuller. It's one game, but

151
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.720
it looks like that those I mean, that definitely checks out. He looks

152
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:28.600
like he could be a maybe Hunter
Dickinson's biggest competition for Big twelve Player of

153
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.200
the Year. Yeah, what a
huge git to have him come back,

154
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.960
though, I mean, you hard
to imagine where this team would be without

155
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:39.279
him. You know, the leadership
too, with how young this team is,

156
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:46.000
So I think, yeahsent Kevin McCuller
is definitely such an important piece of

157
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:50.759
this team, and I'm glad that
he decided to come back and really elevate

158
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:52.559
himself. You know, we always
talk about it on this on this shows,

159
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.679
but Bill self, you know,
Bill self, guy's coming in and

160
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.120
playing their SUPERSEDI season. I can't
even talked to that. I'm sorry,

161
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:07.639
Senior superseason, Senior season and come
in and just really just elevate their game,

162
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.159
become all American type players. And
it's really his time to shine.

163
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:13.080
You know. That was Jalen Wilson
last year, oh Shi Abadi the year

164
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.799
before, And I'm really excited to
see where he's gonna elevate this year under

165
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.080
this team. Landon mentioned it earlier
I did want to talk for a minute

166
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:24.200
about the chemistry because that's what popped
off the page. Last year, Kansas

167
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:30.320
started great. They only had one
loss until what they only lost the Tennessee

168
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.240
game until non conference aren't so conference
play, right like? That was their

169
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:37.799
only loss until January. They were
really really good, but it never felt

170
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.879
like the chemistry was there. We
saw that that tournament where they didn't play

171
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:46.759
very well in the in Atlantis,
and Dwan Harris was a good passer,

172
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:48.960
but there wasn't a lot of scoring. Jalen Wilson there's a lot of hero

173
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.960
ball. People were questioning at this
time if he shot too much. This

174
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.919
year just feels very different. They
all look like they've been playing together for

175
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.600
a lot longer than they have,
and I know, I know that's part

176
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.960
of the advantage of having an upperclassmen
point guard and having three returning starters from

177
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:09.919
a one seed. But they added
Dickinson who's came from a different Power five

178
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.159
school, and pieces like Nick Timberlake
who haven't played in a Power league.

179
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.360
With a couple of freshmen sprinkled in
there. These guys look like they've all

180
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.840
been siblings and playing for ten years
together. I don't know if that's just

181
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:24.240
the product of playing North Carolina Central
or if that's really where they're at.

182
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.080
That might be what makes them so
good. They have a lot of athletes

183
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:30.679
on this team, so that checks
out. But yeah, as Landon pointed

184
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.320
out, a lot of good cuts
the ball movement. Kansas had thirty four

185
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:39.679
assists on thirty nine baskets tonight.
It's like just yeah, and whenever you

186
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:41.600
make a lot of threes, those
assists numbers are going to look really,

187
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:46.039
really pretty. Because college isn't filled
with Steph Curry's who can go create their

188
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.240
own three point shot. Most of
them are set up by passing. But

189
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.799
at the same time, thirty four
assists and thirty nine shots, like,

190
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.320
clearly they have a pretty good idea
of where the ball's going at all times.

191
00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:58.399
Hopefully that can continue looked pretty good. Land In A big part of

192
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:03.799
the reason the numbers looked as good
as it did was because of Hunter Dickinson.

193
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.159
He definitely helped guys rack up the
assist numbers. Tell me about the

194
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.240
favorite for Pig twelve Player of the
Year, Yeah, Hunter Dickinson. He

195
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:15.440
scored the first seven points of the
game in total for Kansas. We didn't

196
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:20.240
see it because I didn't atually cut
to the game until at least the first

197
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.120
seven points had been on the board. But they were working on getting it

198
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:26.440
fixed very quickly asap. I think
that banner at the bottom said the commercials

199
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:31.600
weren't great. ESPN Plus has been
working on fixing something asap since they launched

200
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:35.200
the app. Hey, but the
one thing you aren't working on is not

201
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:39.360
raising prices, because they're doing plenty
of that. Yeah. I remember when

202
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.080
Jeff Long tweeted that it was only
five bucks or something like that. It's

203
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:45.919
now eleven bucks, and I don't
know if the app works any better than

204
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:50.360
it did when boy Jeff Long.
Sorry to really make a really positive night

205
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.919
for Kansas negative but two words,
just did that trick continue? Sorry,

206
00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.960
you had fifteen to four second media
timeout. He was definitely on his way

207
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:01.960
a huge night, but of course
the game was not competitive, so his

208
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.080
services were not needed for too long. He found he uh wound up with

209
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:11.480
twenty one points, eight of nine
from the floor in his Jayhawk debut,

210
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:16.000
eight rebounds, five assists, two
blocks in twenty four minutes total. Uh

211
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:20.159
definitely a strong start to his Player
of the Year campaign. Uh Yeah,

212
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:24.879
I mean North Carolina centraled zero size. They had zero to anything to counter

213
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.000
what Hunter Dickinson was doing, especially
when you include the fact that he knocks

214
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:33.240
down three threes. Uh. But
he did look exactly like the player Kansas

215
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:39.639
recruited really strong start from HD.
I don't know if there's even really too

216
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:41.480
much to add there. He just
he looked like the guy that they were

217
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:45.000
supposed to get. Nick, I
want your thoughts on Hunter Dickinson, and

218
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:48.279
I'm not picking on you. I'm
just curious if this kind of eased your

219
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:56.000
concerns because you landed an. I
didn't have any concerns because we talked a

220
00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:00.720
little bit about how Hunter Dickinson the
defense was kind of a question mark.

221
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:05.759
He's not the best athlete, which
he's seven to so who cares, but

222
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.600
kind of wondering if he'd be a
little ddrich Lawson like, which didrich Lawson

223
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:13.000
was a fantastic player. Yeah,
he's a great player, right, but

224
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:16.200
statue stuff, Yeah, the statue's
stuffer, But the defense at times wasn't

225
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.279
there. Are you convinced after watching
this that Hunter Dickinson is one of the

226
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.200
best players in college basketball or is
there still more that you're wanting to see

227
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:26.279
before you're all in. Well,
I was already convinced he was one of

228
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:31.320
the best college back players in college
basketball. My text and what I was

229
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:33.840
talking about was that he did look
like a little clumsier of Addrich Lawson.

230
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.679
You know, you'd like you said, he's seven too. He doesn't need

231
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:39.720
to have the best footwork, he
doesn't need to have the best you know,

232
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:46.000
movements. But I don't know.
I think he's probably gonna be the

233
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.320
front runner this year for you know, the Naysmith Award. UH. And

234
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:50.399
I think that he is the best
player on this team and one of the

235
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.080
best players in the nation. I
don't doubt that. Never did you know

236
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:58.320
what we saw him do against at
Michigan under a terrible coach, you know,

237
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:02.399
UH was really impressed too. So
I'm really excited to see how he

238
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:06.039
fits into both US rotation. I
can't make any huge deductions from the first

239
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:07.840
non conference game, but I am
really excited. I think that he's going

240
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.759
to be averaging a lot of points
and really fun to watch. So you

241
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:15.360
guys were too young for Wayne Simeon. You guys were only four and five

242
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.399
when he was here, and I
was only nine or ten. Uh,

243
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.559
but that was really the Wayne Simeon
teams were the first couple of teams I

244
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:30.519
remember really actively following as a fan. And Dickinson's the most skilled offensive big

245
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:33.840
as a college player that self has
had since Simeon. He's better than Perry

246
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.240
Ellis, He's better than Deezer Gloss, and he's better than Cole Aldrich,

247
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.639
and he's better than Marcus Morris as
a college player. And those are some

248
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.919
fabulous names. Those are some first
team All America caliber names. Definitely more

249
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:51.840
technically gifted than Doak. Yeah.
Yeah, he's the best offensive player that

250
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:55.639
Bill sealf has had since Wayne Simeon. He is going to put up some

251
00:16:55.799 --> 00:17:00.360
insane stats. What was tonight?
Twenty one, eight, five, two

252
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.640
and twenty four minutes? Good Lord? Like he is going to do ridiculous

253
00:17:03.680 --> 00:17:08.759
things to some of these hapless non
conference opponents. I think that they asked

254
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:12.640
the North Carolina Central coach after the
game, can what can other teams do

255
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:15.240
to slow him down? And the
coach only had one word to say,

256
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:19.200
pray. I don't know how any
college player is supposed to stop a seven

257
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:25.480
foot two walking bucket that also can
make threes at a high clip. Like

258
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:27.759
we knew that marriage was a match
made in heaven, and it looks every

259
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:32.480
bit like it's gonna be really fun. And enjoy him for his one season

260
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:34.160
in Lawrence. I know he could
come back next year if he wants.

261
00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:37.359
Don't bank on it. He's gonna
be a first team All America And if

262
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:40.920
it's not for Zach Edy, he
might be the National Player of the Year.

263
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:44.359
All right, Nick, Timberlake and
Johnny Furfey. I gripped him together

264
00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:47.559
because you know they're kind of in
that same boat. We need someone to

265
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:51.240
step up and make threes. They
managed to both do that in this game.

266
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:53.799
Timberlake looked great three or four from
three, scored thirteen points, third

267
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:57.079
highest on the team, played twenty
minutes. All the starters basically played somewhere

268
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:02.799
between fifteen and twenty five minutes.
Furfey six points coming on two three pointers

269
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:07.039
two for four for him seventeen minutes. I'm decided. At Celtic season.

270
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:11.799
SZN on Twitter said that he's the
Kansas Kangaroo. I'm gonna roll with that.

271
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:15.759
I know that Landon is saying ossy, ossy, ossy every time he

272
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:19.119
makes it three, which is pretty
funny. I've seen the Wizard of Oz

273
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:22.720
be thrown around on Twitter as well, So there's some good stuff Landon.

274
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:26.000
You said he just kind of is
Spema kaylack. They even said it on

275
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:30.440
the broadcast. Yeah, I mean
he's wearing number ten. He looks a

276
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:34.240
little nervous, but he has a
really pure j. He's pretty athletic.

277
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:41.599
Honestly, Like, if it weren't
for the complete lack of depth that Kansas

278
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.400
has on this team, I would
say that he probably isn't gonna play,

279
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:49.799
like I wouldn't expect him to play. Oh he's gone play come Conferencely he's

280
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:52.279
not. Yeah, he's not really
gonna much choice but to play at least

281
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:56.799
some unless he's just unplayable. Certainly
did not look unplayable in this first game.

282
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:00.440
I like what I saw from Furfey
knocks down the Cup of threes.

283
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:06.359
Nick Timberlake looked fantastic, really really
quick release, quick stroke, smooth stroke,

284
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:10.480
three for four from three. Yeah. I liked both those guys.

285
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:12.480
Yeah, and I am excited for
Furfey, especially since the you know,

286
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:17.319
sweet one of my all time favorite
Hawks. So if you get another another

287
00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:21.519
s feet that'd that'd be pretty fun. And I also have an odd affinity

288
00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:23.880
for Australia, as has been covered
on this podcast in previous season. So

289
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:27.920
maybe a little match may in heaven
for mister Furfey. They've gone out and

290
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:33.799
gotten a grad transfer that shoots the
ball well to fill that we need a

291
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.240
shooter void. On several of the
last few teams we saw Isaam Moss and

292
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:41.799
then last year or the the who
am I missing? Who was next?

293
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:45.119
Who Isaamas? And somebody else?
We always compare him, was it Jalen

294
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.920
Coleman Lance? They always go out
and they get this guy. Uh.

295
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:52.839
Nick Timberlake statistically is a better shooter
than both of those guys. Like Timberlake

296
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:57.880
is a sharp shooter. He had
an insanely high volume at Talsand and that's

297
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:02.359
obviously different com petition North Carolina Central
as a team that he would have played

298
00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:04.480
at Towson. So we'll see.
But man, he the ball. If

299
00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:07.319
you can shoot, you can play
against anybody. And the ball was going

300
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.559
in the basket. Nick, do
you want what do you want? After

301
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:15.640
one game? Nick Timberlake to get
that starting spot? Are you still gonna

302
00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:19.720
be a little patient on al Marco? I would give I would give him

303
00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:22.880
the starting spot. I think he
I think senior already in experience have a

304
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:27.440
lot to do with college basketball.
El Marco Jackson's gonna play a huge amount

305
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:30.319
of minutes, regardless of if he
starting the game or not. I just

306
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:34.359
think i'd give the nod to Nicholas
Timberlake. Like I said that the bench

307
00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:37.519
is pretty shallow, so you know
they're both gonna get a good run.

308
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:41.880
I do like Timberlake in the starting
five. I'm excited to see him.

309
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.200
Like you said, Kay, you
getting those good three point shooters. I

310
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:47.559
think that he's gonna have a great
season at Kansas. What they really get

311
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:51.000
settled in, like Landon said,
seems a little nervous for these first few

312
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:52.880
games, but it's really starting to
get settled in, I think, and

313
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:57.440
it's gonna be a lethal threat for
KU. Just to give you guys a

314
00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:03.400
Stanislaus State Saint Mary's update. The
score is one hundred and one to twenty

315
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:08.200
eight right now. Oh gosh,
so it is. It is every bit

316
00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:11.319
I have it on. With all
these games going on, I'm just watching

317
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:19.039
Saint Mary's do very not not catholically
appropriate things to this poor Division twos team

318
00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:23.599
that they're they're playing one hundred and
three. They were actually playing the Santa

319
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:27.599
Claus State Fighting Reindeer, it would
be closer than one hundred and one to

320
00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:32.200
twenty eight. Stantis last State has
been on twenty eight for a very,

321
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:34.400
very long time. They just want
to get this over with. Now,

322
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:37.519
let's talk about El Marco Jackson.
Got a couple guys left here to talk

323
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.440
about. Jackson had eight points and
five assists in his official collegiate debut.

324
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:45.319
He picked up three first half fouls, but got considerably better after halftime.

325
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:49.440
Self played him partially because of lack
of depth and also partially because they were

326
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:53.279
killing this team and it made sense
to keep him out there with three fouls

327
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:56.680
in the first half, that's self's
quota. Now never ask for him to

328
00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:00.720
do that for the rest of his
life. Jackson was three for five from

329
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:03.160
the floor, with all three of
his makes being buckets at the rim that

330
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:07.599
were set up by other passers.
Which is the optimist that me says,

331
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.079
that's capitalizing on his biggest strength,
which is as his athleticism. The negative

332
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:15.119
and me said he did absolutely nothing
to create his own shod yea so air

333
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.119
ball to three. He played a
total of twenty one minutes Lannon. I

334
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:22.319
already asked Nick the question, is
Kansas making the right choice starting him over

335
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.400
Timberlake? Would you also make that
switch? Uh? Yeah, I said

336
00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:27.759
that on the last show. I
would definitely stick by it on this not

337
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:30.920
that like I'm selling all my Marco
Jackson stock. I think it would be

338
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:36.000
a perfectly fine player. I liked
what I saw fromim in general, but

339
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:41.240
with Timberlake, what he can give
you shooting the ball, I mean they

340
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:44.319
were lethal with him on the floor. And again, Jackson I think has

341
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:47.200
a very bright future ahead of him. But I think I would start Timberlake

342
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:52.559
in the spot for sure. Let's
have the Dewan Harris conversation, because Dewan

343
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.200
Eras has yes, don't yeah if
you see this is honestly I was thinking

344
00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:03.880
this during the game, that this
is exactly theoretically like Dewan Harris's perfect team

345
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:07.759
to play on. Oh yeah,
guys who can make buckets, guys who

346
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:11.759
can get buckets. Dewan Harris may
not have to shoot the ball for this

347
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:15.559
team to be really good, which
has always been kind of weird in previous

348
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:18.599
years, that's kind of been the
opposite like good teams he's been on.

349
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:21.920
But man if Harris can knock down
a couple of shots, even Sam the

350
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:23.880
national title team like that was a
really good team. Otherwise, obviously they

351
00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:27.519
weren't relying on Dewan Harris, but
Harris had the ability on that team to

352
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:30.960
take a couple of shots and make
them, which could be big for that

353
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:36.400
team at times. But man if
he doesn't have to shoot very if he

354
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:38.400
doesn't have to shoot and can rack
up like seven assists a night, that's

355
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:42.799
gonna be some special stuff. Yeah, I think that's pretty fair. Dewan

356
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:48.200
Harris has one of the weirder stat
lines we've seen. Zero points, zero

357
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:53.039
for zero from the floor, ten
assists, and two turnovers. One of

358
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:56.480
the really that's one turnover, you
know, whenever he got the ball at

359
00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:00.440
the end of the half and just
heaved like a half court shot as time

360
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:04.240
expired, that counted as a turnover. So really he had one turnover and

361
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:08.519
four rebounds. Yeah, and see
he posted on Instagram after the game,

362
00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:11.920
he's something along the lines if they've
been saying to shoot, I will when

363
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:15.640
I have to, and it's like, I don't know how you can argue

364
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:19.960
that they scored ninety five points in
thirty five minutes with Dwan Harris not taking

365
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:25.519
a shot, and boy is he
throwing some nasty passes Like this guy's the

366
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:30.160
best raw passer in college basketball.
We've been saying for a couple of years

367
00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:32.960
that you need a point guard to
shoot. We've all said it. This

368
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:36.279
is just Portland State. It sure
helps when you shoot seventy percent from three,

369
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:38.799
But yeah, Dewan Harris isn't gonna
need to shoot when they play Portland

370
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:42.880
State. Did I say Portland State? You did? They just ran a

371
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:49.000
They ran an advertisement for the WCC
and I saw the word Portland go across

372
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:53.680
my TV North Carolina Central. How
about that easily confused with Portland State just

373
00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:59.119
a couple thousand miles apart. Dewan
Harrison probably like them too, Yeah,

374
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:00.839
Dewan Harrison probab We have tennis sists
against either one of them. Though,

375
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:06.759
Nick, your thoughts onto one Harris? Uh yeah, I pretty much made

376
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:10.160
my one Harris thoughts pretty clear in
the past few seasons. I really hoped

377
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:15.279
that his volume would go up as
a shooter and a scorer. Didn't see

378
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.440
that. Tonight obviously didn't shoot,
but I really wish. I mean,

379
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:23.720
the dude's gotten so good defensively,
gotten so good at creating plays for other

380
00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:27.079
players offensively. But I really just
one of my hopes was that he'd just

381
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:32.839
become like a good three point shooter
or a reliable scorer. He that'll come,

382
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:34.680
that'll come with the season. I
think his points are going to be

383
00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:38.319
up this year, but I really, I mean, Kansas becomes a really

384
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:42.079
dangerous threat to an even more dangerous
threat when to one Harris, you know,

385
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:45.480
it is a guy you have to
worry about as a defense in scoring.

386
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:48.839
So I don't know. I at
this at this point in his career,

387
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:51.920
I hope that he'd be a little
bit a little bit better shooting,

388
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:55.079
but betterers can't be choosers. He's
the different defensive player of the Year for

389
00:25:55.119 --> 00:26:00.799
a reason. Brown and sorry,
one more thought onto one Harris is he

390
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:03.000
is one of two players in the
history of Kansas that I've watched anyway,

391
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:07.599
which is over a decade of basketball
now, that I am thrilled to see,

392
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:11.960
oh for oh and zero points.
The others Marcus Scarrett for different reasons.

393
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:15.759
But like it's it's pretty wild when
you can have a guy that has

394
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:19.559
zero points and you're like, yeah, he was one of like the four

395
00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:23.160
best players on the on the floor, and he was, yeah, no,

396
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:26.240
he was. He's proof that you
don't have to score a lot to

397
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:30.240
be one of the best players on
the floor there. And let's not let's

398
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:33.799
not get ourselves here. They are
going to need him to score to beat

399
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.640
teams better than this that he can't
notot have, he can't take those shots.

400
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:38.920
He's he's a point where he's got. I think he'll end the year

401
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:41.599
averaging about ten points a game.
I do. I just think on a

402
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:45.759
nightlight tonight, if if it's working, and it's kind of like if you're

403
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:48.960
playing if you're playing a football game
and run of the ball, you're getting

404
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:52.079
eight yards of carry like the Patriots
were doing to the Bills that one game

405
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:53.319
where it was real Wendy, and
you don't need to pass the ball,

406
00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:56.240
don't pass the ball, just keep
doing what works. That's kind of what

407
00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:00.079
Dwan Harris did in this game.
He didn't need to shoot it because it

408
00:26:59.960 --> 00:27:03.839
was work in passing. And I'm
perfectly fine with him being able to make

409
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:07.720
that decision and go with what was
best for the team. Parker Brown put

410
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:11.240
up great numbers in relief of Hunter
Dickinson, going five for six from the

411
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:14.920
floor for ten points. He started
five for five, the miss was a

412
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:17.759
three at the end, so five
for five inside the arc. He added

413
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:21.559
five rebounds three assists in twenty one
minutes. Is he Mitch Lightfoot the second

414
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:26.039
and see this is where I'll say
I think the jury is completely out because

415
00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:32.680
North Carolina Central had no one that
could answer anything on the inside. And

416
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:38.200
whether or not that makes Parker Brown
great or not no clue. So I'd

417
00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:44.640
like to think he could be a
solid contributor, but there's nothing that makes

418
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:48.720
me either lose hope or gain confidence
based on this performance. He did look

419
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:52.960
good though, and that was encouraging, but no idea what any of that

420
00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:59.640
actually means. As tougher teams are
coming. Dylan will Hyde, Patrick Cassidy,

421
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:03.119
and Wilder Evers dipped their hands in
butter before checking in for the final

422
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:07.799
five minutes. That was terrible.
I know your walk Ons guys, time

423
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:11.400
it was, Yeah, you could
tell I was irrationally a little disappointed.

424
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:15.160
They didn't get to one hundred points. They still scored more than they scored

425
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:18.319
any game last year, but ultimately
not getting one hundred after the first half

426
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:22.480
feels inconceivable. Their stats are all
hideous. Mike Jenkovitch did score five points.

427
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:25.759
Landon annointed him one of the better
shooters in the Big twelve, which

428
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:29.079
I think he's right. He was
the only highlight from the walk On unit.

429
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:32.079
Not a great night. If you
said took the over on the walk

430
00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:36.119
On total amount of points, you're
gonna need Mike Jenkovitch to go all Klay

431
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:38.079
Thompson if you want to get there. The walk Ons were minus twelve when

432
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:41.599
they're five minutes. This game ended
on a sixteen to four run by the

433
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:47.759
Eagles to only quote only lose by
forty three points, seventy percent from the

434
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:51.759
floor, fifty seven percent from three
to eighty percent of the line. Maybe

435
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:55.039
the best slash line we've ever read
there in eleven seasons. Also, it

436
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:59.680
gets better. Plus fourteen on the
glass, plus twenty seven and assists and

437
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:03.559
only ten turnovers in the game.
There really isn't anything to be to complain

438
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:07.559
about. That was in. They
get an A plus and pass their first

439
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:11.559
test with flying colors. Any takeaways
that we didn't touch on Jayhawks are one

440
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:15.079
to zero. Yeah, I mean
thirty four assists on thirty nine. We

441
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:19.119
did talk about it, but that
is a truly remarkable number. If that

442
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:22.400
is the trend that this team keeps, of that ball movement, in that

443
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.720
passing ability. Holy, I expatman, this team is dangerous. Yep,

444
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:33.279
Nick, any thoughts about the any
final thoughts. It's not Stanislaus State,

445
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:37.640
but it's in North Carolina's Central sou
take with that, which you will.

446
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:45.200
Big twelve games. Wow, we
get to recap some of these for the

447
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:49.160
first time since all the Big twelve
teams pooped themselves in last year's NCAA tournament.

448
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:52.559
And so what better way to pick
up from where we left off by

449
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:56.400
talking about a Big twelve team that
pooped their pants? In the opener,

450
00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:00.440
Nick lead us off what happens South? Yeah, Mike Boyton brought in the

451
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:04.160
twenty twenty three to twenty twenty fourth
season with a stunning home loss to Abling

452
00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:08.960
Christian who beat the Cowboys sixty four
to fifty nine. That suddenly really bright

453
00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:14.720
Gallagher I by arena. Oklahoma State
shot twenty one percent from three. Big

454
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:18.119
twelve basketball is so back, and
Boyton's going to be asking the NCAA to

455
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:22.920
give them a postseason ban this year. Yeah, Mike Boyton. Mike Boyton

456
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:26.960
has one NCAA appearance in his career. He's been there now for this is

457
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:30.720
a seventh season. That was whenever
he was gifted Cad Cunningham by an assistant,

458
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:33.759
and that team at one point was
the favorite to go to the final

459
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.039
four in their region and they lost
to a twelve seed in Oregon State in

460
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:41.440
the sweet sixteen. Like, let's
let's not act like that. This has

461
00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:45.240
he hasn't had talent because he took
over for Brad Underwood. He had Jawan

462
00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:51.200
Evans in his first season. He's
had some really talented players, and ultimately

463
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:56.160
they just didn't do anything. So
really really disappointing loss for Oklahoma State.

464
00:30:56.200 --> 00:31:00.200
And yes, Nick mentioned the bright
galliber I Arena. They painted the base

465
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:04.680
lines that now says Oklahoma State and
big white letters, big big lights at

466
00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:07.799
the top of the arena. Now
too, they showed a ceiling shot.

467
00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:11.359
Oh my gosh, have industrial lights
in there now. The Polks wore blue

468
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:15.319
jerseys in this game too, and
they are feeling the blues. They are

469
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:18.880
the only Big twelve team to open
with an L at least for right now.

470
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:22.680
Land and go ahead and give a
we're kind of going out of order,

471
00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:25.279
I guess, but This is the
part wherever the game's not over yet

472
00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:29.720
and you have to do an impromptu
improv kind of reading about what's going on.

473
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:33.160
Yeah, case I have the game
on right now, Case State losing

474
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:37.720
the USC with just undred five minutes
to go seventy to fifty four. It

475
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:41.119
was competitive for most first half into
the second half. The USC definitely starting

476
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:45.200
to pull away as we entered the
middle part of the second half. They

477
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:48.200
look at USC that looks really good. Case State looks a little out of

478
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:52.079
sorts offensively. I did predict to
win, but I also predicted a little

479
00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:56.240
bit of a step back for the
for the tang over there in Manhattan,

480
00:31:56.279 --> 00:32:00.799
and that is definitely seeming to be
the case tonight. As you will see,

481
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:02.759
who is good is uh probably gonna
win this game. By fifteen,

482
00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:08.400
We'll see how long Nakwon Tomlins stay
suspended. Because K State's offense is just

483
00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:12.200
not having a good time. They're
under thirty percent of the tier guns.

484
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:16.400
Jerome K State, with the five
minutes left in the game, has one

485
00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:22.400
more basket seventeen than they do turnover
sixteen. If that tells you it's it's

486
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:25.799
not going great. Arthur Kaluma and
his k State debut is currently one for

487
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:30.039
nine, including zero for five on
threes. Hey, you guys remember what

488
00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:32.440
he made four in that game against
Kansas in the NCAA Tournament. I do,

489
00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:37.480
did you guys also see the future
when he's gonna do that again in

490
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:39.319
bram Ledge as they're all late in
the shot clock? Yes, I do.

491
00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:44.960
West Virginia banner week for k State
though you a withf on a five

492
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:49.119
star recruit, you rolled the red
carpet out for you go for a touchdown

493
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:52.480
at Texas and losing overtime. Good
one there, and then you get blown

494
00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:59.359
out by a Bronni list James Bronnie
James less USC team in Las Vegas.

495
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:01.759
Good week for the cat backers,
that's for sure. Hey, they should

496
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:06.160
have won the game in Austin.
That was There was some tom foolery going

497
00:33:06.200 --> 00:33:09.319
on in that, but yeah,
not not great. And then a showdown

498
00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:13.039
with the jay Birds here in a
couple of weeks in Lawrence looms for the

499
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:19.759
football team should be a fun one. Well then there's best. But they

500
00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:23.759
didn't inspire anybody with a sixty seven
to fifty nine win over Missouri State the

501
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:29.640
Bears to open the Josh Eilert Era
everybody else in the Big twelve to one

502
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:32.279
with ease. Iowa State smash Green
Bay, which makes sense because Jordan Love

503
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:37.160
is pretty lousy. BYU hung one
hundred and ten points on Houston Christian and

504
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:45.759
TCU scored one hundred and eight against
Southern in other really good games. Hey,

505
00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:49.720
you guys really reads next because we
got it out of order. Good

506
00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:52.880
job, way to figure it out. To talk amongst yourselves and figure it

507
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:55.799
out. Yeah, that is the
best way to do this. Live editor

508
00:33:57.400 --> 00:34:01.200
number seven Houston beat Louisiana Monroe by
fifty three, holding them to thirty one

509
00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:05.319
points, which doesn't feel possible,
but it is and it happened. I

510
00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:12.599
number eighteen Texas be incarnate word by
thirty two murder rows of squads here the

511
00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:16.599
Big both played. Hey, Christiard
walk so Rodney Terry could run with that

512
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:22.400
scheduling h thirty one points? You
think that's not very many way to get

513
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:27.639
said? What's coming up here in
the other game section? Because so okay,

514
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:30.840
I posted on Twitter and a couple
of people disagreed with me. A

515
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:35.599
lot of people did. So is
how it goes? College basketball has easily

516
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:39.559
not even close. Easily the worst
opening week of any of the sports.

517
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:45.679
It sucks. All these teams completely
uneventful. If you're not like someone that's

518
00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:49.360
actively plugged in, you might not
even know it's happening. Yes, unless

519
00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:52.519
you're a fan of one of these
teams. Why can't we? And there

520
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:54.880
are several good games this weekend,
which is new too. I don't remember

521
00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:59.960
seeing that in uh an open weekend. How else are you gonna fund mid

522
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:04.239
major athletic programs if you're not paying
them two million dollars to come get beat

523
00:35:04.280 --> 00:35:07.800
by fifty. Well they can still
do that. They just do. They

524
00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:12.079
all have to do it the same
night. Nobody in the top twenty was

525
00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:15.760
less than a fifteen point favorite,
and obviously it didn't work out for all

526
00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:20.239
of them. But the scheduling is
ridiculous. Why can't we open? They

527
00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:23.360
opened with the Champions Classic for several
years. I don't know what happened to

528
00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:28.960
that. Give me some marquee matchups
the first couple nights of college basketball and

529
00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:32.840
kick it started the NFL, the
NBA baseball, College football is a great

530
00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:37.360
example. All those leagues have premier
matchups in their opening week, and I

531
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:43.320
don't understand why college football filled with
week zero awful games all the way up

532
00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:46.360
and down the board. They still
manage to play neutral site barn burners half

533
00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:50.800
the time, at least a couple
of them to get everybody watching. Don't

534
00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:53.519
understand why college basketball can't do the
same. But then again, if it's

535
00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:58.880
gonna go like this, huh,
let's let's let's go ahead and talk about

536
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:01.119
it. Nick, why don't you
tell us about what's going to be the

537
00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:09.079
big story from night one of college
basketball. I was gonna say, Nick's

538
00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:15.760
not there, he's doing I am
there now. Yeah, the big the

539
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:19.440
big note of the night. Number
four Michigan State opened their season with one

540
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:23.199
of the most stunning losses in modern
memory. Thinking back down memory lane,

541
00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:30.679
you know last year Purdue losing to
the Farley Dickinson Knights, or even before

542
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:37.519
that, Tony Bennett's Tony Bennet and
Virginia losing to the UNBC Retrievers. A

543
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:43.159
little worse maybe tonight as number four
Michigan State loses in East Lansing to James

544
00:36:43.199 --> 00:36:46.639
Madison, a president. They lost
to a president, guys and overtime as

545
00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:52.039
a sixteen point favorite. Yeah,
the Spartan shot one for twenty for twenty

546
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:57.159
for twenty for three five percent.
Tyan Grant Foster shot better at Kansas.

547
00:36:57.880 --> 00:37:00.880
Welcome to pick him. We actually
picked this game, and now we all

548
00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:07.159
it's karma for me and Nick making
fun of Landon's pickup score because now we

549
00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:12.119
all have an l My gosh.
Yeah, they not only lost to a

550
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:16.159
president, but they lost to the
shortest president. James Madison was the shortest

551
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:22.000
president in history. He was five
foot four and he went out and beat

552
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:24.159
Michigan State. This game took four
hours. It makes sense every time old

553
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:28.039
James fell down they had to go
pick him up, because you know,

554
00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:30.800
he's been dead for three hundred years
at this point. But Michigan State,

555
00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:36.960
Holy like these games happen. What
happens in November has no impact on what

556
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:39.519
happens in March. We know that
anybody can make a run. I don't

557
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:43.599
know what you're supposed to do with
this, how you're supposed to measure them.

558
00:37:43.800 --> 00:37:46.320
They play some tough games coming up, but just a stunning opening night

559
00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:51.599
loss for the Spartans. Uh.
Yeah, you know what. I know

560
00:37:51.639 --> 00:37:55.000
how Kansas fans are. They're very
passionate. That works both ways. I

561
00:37:55.000 --> 00:38:00.480
can't even imagine what Michigan State somewhere
out there, there's a Michigan State blog

562
00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:02.719
that is trying to figure out what
the hell happened to night Because you lose

563
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:06.840
to James Madison, I feel like
you should have to, like Tom Mezzo,

564
00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:09.000
should at minimum have to do some
community service for this. That's that's

565
00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:13.760
abysmal. Yeah, that's like a
twenty thousand dollars fine kind of ill.

566
00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:16.079
Yeah, which for him is like
you and ib and fined four dollars.

567
00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:20.079
So maybe finey more, I guess, but you know, all right,

568
00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:24.119
with the exception of the Spartans,
none of the top twenty teams really top

569
00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:28.199
twenty five teams. USC was the
only one that I didn't know about,

570
00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:31.320
and they rolled really had much trouble
in their openers. Number nineteen North Carolina

571
00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:37.239
struggled early. They wound up handling
Radford after Radford remembered they were in fact

572
00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:42.199
Radford. Number sixteen Kentucky, who
Kansas plays next week, shot the ball

573
00:38:42.199 --> 00:38:45.679
well on an eighty six forty six
win over New Mexico State, and number

574
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:50.239
three per Due was up twenty one
to one on powerhouse Samford, and again

575
00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:52.840
they ultimately won by fifty three points. Zach Eedy was sixteen points, eleven

576
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:58.679
rebounds, and four blocks. Not
a lot of great matchups there, but

577
00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:05.239
we'll at least talk about the funny
stuff. Yeah. Number thirteen Miami nice,

578
00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:09.639
just about as bad as other.
Yeah, go ahead, Land and

579
00:39:09.679 --> 00:39:15.719
talk about the New Jersey Institute of
Technology. Yeah, which is that's funny

580
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:19.800
now that we are down this road. But there are number thirteen Miami.

581
00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:23.440
They beat them ng n j I
T by forty one. I do think

582
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:27.599
it's really funny that Ryan is completely
bamboozled by that school. Maybe I was

583
00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:31.679
just oddly familiar with them previously.
I've heard about the real institution there.

584
00:39:31.719 --> 00:39:35.880
You go. Yeah, they are. Yeah, they're the Institution of Technology.

585
00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:40.119
Oh my god, oh man,
it's like it's like the MI T

586
00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:52.519
for morons. Wow. Indeed,
go ahead, I'm typing. You can

587
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:55.119
read what I type. I If
you don't want to deal with booby traps,

588
00:39:55.159 --> 00:40:00.800
you write the you write your own
notes. Uh tg if and by

589
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:04.960
that I mean ty On Grant.
It's Foster. He had thirty points for

590
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:09.400
Grand Cannon in their win over Southeast
Missouri State. Semoy had two threes in

591
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:14.719
this game after making three all year
when he was at Kansas, so he

592
00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:17.320
is already sixty six point seven percent
of the way to his Kansas three point

593
00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:21.519
total a couple of years after playing
for the Ox. Hey, look at

594
00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:24.480
look at that TGF. You know
what suck. Also look at Louisville.

595
00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:30.719
The guys, Oh, I was
so close Cimo don't you mean cimo threes

596
00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:37.360
by Tyon Grant Foster. Oh no, I hit the drum roll show,

597
00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:45.000
I meant the rim shot, and
I hit already going down the good show

598
00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:47.360
that we do here Louba, what's
not going down the toilet yet? Guys?

599
00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:53.039
They beat UNBC by one. They
allowed UNBC to score ninety three points

600
00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:58.760
on them. U NBC already have
like how many games did they win all

601
00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:01.800
of last year? Like five four? There are already one quarter of the

602
00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:07.480
way there. So Louisville nine point
favorite. Louisville is down the whole night

603
00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:13.840
to the Retrievers for NBC. Yep, and they they're up to with two

604
00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:16.440
seconds left and commit one of the
stupidest fouls you ever gonna see in your

605
00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:21.119
life. The guy makes the front
end, he misses the back end,

606
00:41:21.599 --> 00:41:25.519
and Louisville escapes by one. Let's
look at Louisville's schedule coming up here because

607
00:41:25.519 --> 00:41:30.000
there's not much else to talk about
on this show. They play Chattanooga and

608
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:32.960
Coppin State. I mean, come
on, they can get to three and

609
00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:37.239
oh right, I would hope.
I mean, they played New Mexico State

610
00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:42.320
not getting to three, and oh
is Stanislas State. They lost seven to

611
00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:45.239
twenty eight, which just doesn't feel
like it possibly happened. That's like me

612
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:52.440
and NCA basketball ten where Ice at
the Sliders. I don't know how this

613
00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:58.880
counts. I truthfully don't know how
Saint Mary's two school, like so Stanislaus

614
00:41:58.920 --> 00:42:02.079
State did. This is listed as
an exhibition game on their website. They're

615
00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:07.599
not counting this. They lost fifty
seven to seventeen in the second half and

616
00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:10.880
that was somehow the better of the
two halves by point margin for them in

617
00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:16.639
this game. So Stanislaus State shot
sixteen percent on threes, thirteen percent,

618
00:42:16.760 --> 00:42:22.559
are sixteen percent from the floor,
thirteen percent from three, nineteen percent from

619
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:23.960
two. They did make eighty eight
percent of the line. That's pretty good

620
00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:30.920
nine baskets nine not as many as
Kansas made against Kentucky against that unbelievable Kentucky

621
00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:36.440
team. But hey, Santaslaus State, I mean They're probably better than UMKC

622
00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:39.880
getting to play Avela. If you
live in Kansas City, you'll know that

623
00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:45.440
Avala is an Naia school and UMKC
gets to count that as a win,

624
00:42:46.719 --> 00:42:50.840
which they shouldn't because they only won
that game by thirty one. It was

625
00:42:50.920 --> 00:42:53.440
seventy nine to forty eight. It
was a very normal thirty nine to twenty

626
00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:58.320
two game a half time. Ye
that's awful. Oh my gosh. Some

627
00:42:58.320 --> 00:43:01.719
of the names in this next segment, right, go, who's the lucky

628
00:43:01.719 --> 00:43:08.000
one to read? I'll take it. Go for Ryan's favorite opponents from de

629
00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:14.320
Swan schools. Tonight, Indiana State
beat Saint Mary of the Woods. Why

630
00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:16.960
is marrying the Woods? Why is
it? Wait? Why is Mary in

631
00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:22.599
the Woods in the first place?
Austin p got to play Life University Life

632
00:43:23.239 --> 00:43:30.679
Life University, South Dakota kicked things
off with Mount Marty College. Penn took

633
00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:35.159
on John Jay. Coolies are not
real, bro, These are not real.

634
00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:44.079
S m U opened up with Southwestern
Assemblies of God lines. They were

635
00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:52.000
only I didn't know a church denomination
was loud. S MU get their young

636
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:57.519
adult ministry out there, and s
m U is a YouTube for Fart University

637
00:43:57.719 --> 00:44:01.480
s m U has a history and
they played Southwestern Assembly of God in their

638
00:44:01.559 --> 00:44:07.280
opener. I don't know how that
is even allowed. Like, yeah,

639
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:10.800
one of the most fun things to
do in opening out of college basketball is

640
00:44:10.840 --> 00:44:15.320
to just go to all the games
that take place and look at Basically,

641
00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:19.159
you're looking for anybody that doesn't have
an ESPN page, and that's that's how

642
00:44:19.159 --> 00:44:23.599
we were able to find all these
stately Saint Mary of the Woods is probably

643
00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:28.760
my favorite on there. Oh,
may you know, I think that's one

644
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:32.960
of the best in recent memory.
Guess how many students South Southwestern Assemblies of

645
00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:39.679
God University have six two thousand.
Wow, that's more than I thought.

646
00:44:40.119 --> 00:44:45.360
That's that's not that's not nothing.
None of them are good at basketball,

647
00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:47.920
though, well maybe in the first
half. Ranked teams to lose since the

648
00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:52.760
last show. I cannot believe we
have a name on here, but we

649
00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:54.800
do, and it's a prominent one
who wants to take it. We can't

650
00:44:54.800 --> 00:45:00.400
mess up the order when there's just
one of us. Number FI. Michigan

651
00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:07.599
State loses to the five foot four
king himself, James Madison last weekend bigem.

652
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:14.400
We don't know yet because not all
the games have happened, but yeah,

653
00:45:14.480 --> 00:45:20.400
Nick says we should get five l's
forgetting Michigan saved, which is yeah,

654
00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:27.079
I'll out it. Ask rock Chalk
Blog. Nick's favorite this show is

655
00:45:27.119 --> 00:45:30.679
it's eleven thirty at night, and
Nick goes to bed earlier than both of

656
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:34.599
us because Landon and I don't have
class early in the morning. So Nick,

657
00:45:34.679 --> 00:45:37.679
I'm sure you're gonna love getting to
do late night. Ask rock Chalk

658
00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:42.599
Blog. You guys did a good
job getting in a handful of questions here

659
00:45:42.599 --> 00:45:45.119
before we only gave you an hour
to do it. We have a few

660
00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:50.199
of them here we go at Evan
eight five nine four three five nine four

661
00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:52.159
four. Evan, I appreciate the
questions. There's no way I'm gonna be

662
00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:57.000
able to read that number every time. I'm going to eventually lose it and

663
00:45:57.079 --> 00:45:59.800
read the numbers wrong. So I'm
just gonna call you at Evan Numbers.

664
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:02.519
We're gonna we're gonna read it that
way. Evan Numbers wants to know why

665
00:46:02.679 --> 00:46:07.159
is Clement's red shirting? I feel
like we could use the depth in the

666
00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:13.320
front court. What are you guys
thoughts? I think he's bad. I

667
00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:16.519
mean, the the answer here is
he's third out of three guys playing that

668
00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:21.800
position. Dickinson is going to play
a lot of minutes and Parker Brown,

669
00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:27.280
Yeah, that's all, Yeah,
exactly. Dickinson's playing close to thirty a

670
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:30.079
night, and Parker Brown looks more
than capable of handling the backup role.

671
00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:37.000
It sounds like this is Clement's choice
too. It is interesting, though not

672
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:39.480
normally. Do you see that?
Another one from Evan who was the most

673
00:46:39.480 --> 00:46:45.039
impactful player in this opening game?
I think it was Dewan Harris most impactful.

674
00:46:45.360 --> 00:46:50.159
Harris set the table all night for
this offense. Let's take him.

675
00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:54.880
McCuller. Yeah, here, McCuller
at Derek J. Weber one. Why

676
00:46:55.119 --> 00:47:00.679
didn't North Carolina Central's coach allow his
walk ons time to play on that court?

677
00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:05.800
Good question. Their starters were in
there lighting up the park or whatever.

678
00:47:05.880 --> 00:47:08.440
Patrick Cassidy's attempt at a three point
shot it was kind of weird.

679
00:47:08.440 --> 00:47:12.599
It feels like if there's ever a
time that the bench would deserve to go

680
00:47:12.639 --> 00:47:16.519
out there, it's that he didn't
want to lose by sixty, so instead

681
00:47:16.519 --> 00:47:22.880
he lost by forty three. I
forgot. I'm the only one that can

682
00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:27.440
read these questions at Elliott Russon h
one. It is overreaction territory after this

683
00:47:27.519 --> 00:47:30.400
game, right, Yes, just
like it was after they law or lot.

684
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:32.159
Yeah, they did lose, they
didn't crush Fort Hayes. Yes it

685
00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:37.760
is, but that's you know,
whenever you know how sports fans work,

686
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:40.280
ads, I love the work or
I love the work from all of you

687
00:47:40.360 --> 00:47:44.159
guys. Thank you very much for
that, Elliot. We always appreciate your

688
00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:47.199
questions. Elliott says, I personally
feel like Furfey might be more valuable to

689
00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:50.639
this team than Jackson, but that's
to be seen. It would be a

690
00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:53.039
really great surprise to see Jackson be
the better one of the two. That

691
00:47:53.159 --> 00:47:57.880
may be a little overreacting now,
Marco Jackson's a McDonald's All American. He's

692
00:47:57.920 --> 00:48:00.599
a great athlete. He can do
a lot of things better better than Johnny

693
00:48:00.599 --> 00:48:02.960
Furfey at this point. Maybe not
shoot the ball, but there's plenty of

694
00:48:02.960 --> 00:48:07.159
things that I think I'll mark with
Jackson brings to the table. I think

695
00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:10.320
Jackson is probably a better player in
every facet, but shooting yes, so

696
00:48:10.840 --> 00:48:15.199
at least really shows a lot of
growth quickly. I think Jackson is definitely

697
00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:19.960
the player to expect a lot more
out of and Jackson didn't play poorly in

698
00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:22.880
this game. Jackson was actually pretty
good. Like it's his first game,

699
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:28.079
it's his very first game. We'll
see, but it looks like, especially

700
00:48:28.119 --> 00:48:30.480
with the lack of depth here,
it looks like that Furfey, Jackson,

701
00:48:30.519 --> 00:48:35.880
and Timberlake are all gonna have plenty
of time, uh to be able to

702
00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:38.800
play and showcase what they can do. So well, we'll definitely get our

703
00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:42.960
answer of who the best one is. They're all going to play at Ajsen

704
00:48:43.039 --> 00:48:45.159
Underscore Official. How high is this
team ceiling if they shoot the ball well

705
00:48:45.159 --> 00:48:51.480
from three you saw it, ninety
five points in thirty five minutes. Yeah,

706
00:48:51.599 --> 00:48:54.920
agreed, National champions is your answer. That's their ceiling if they shoot

707
00:48:54.920 --> 00:48:58.880
the ball well. That is like
the only thing that we're a little concerned

708
00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:00.639
about with this team, right is
shooting. And they cleared their first test

709
00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:05.880
with Flying Colors. Yeah, they're
gonna defend really well. I think they're

710
00:49:05.880 --> 00:49:08.360
gonna be able to score everywhere else. Yeah, if they if they make

711
00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:14.280
a lot of threes, they are
very definitively a top one team in the

712
00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:19.039
country. Honestly at Breckon Hunting,
do you think El Marco will figure it

713
00:49:19.039 --> 00:49:22.360
out or well forfe or Timberlake eventually
get the last spot. I don't know

714
00:49:22.360 --> 00:49:25.079
why people are making it sound like
Jackson's lost and Furfee's not. At this

715
00:49:25.239 --> 00:49:30.960
point, Jackson's further along than Furfey
and Furfey didn't play for weeks because he

716
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:34.719
was a hurt. So it's Timberlake
if you want anybody to start over him,

717
00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:39.159
and I just don't think that's happening. I think that self knows that

718
00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:43.760
Jackson does more well than Timberlake,
at least for now. Let's not stopped

719
00:49:43.840 --> 00:49:46.920
him from making weird roster decisions in
the past. Though. No, no,

720
00:49:47.039 --> 00:49:51.119
it hasn't. I don't know,
but you guys both are on board

721
00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:53.239
with start Nick Timberlake. I'm good
with either one. Again, they're both

722
00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:58.159
gonna play a lot that I don't
think it really technically matters who starts.

723
00:49:58.199 --> 00:50:01.599
But wow, I have sports Center
on and Yukon has that center that Yukon

724
00:50:01.679 --> 00:50:07.000
has looks like he's about eight feet
tall. I have not seen them play

725
00:50:07.039 --> 00:50:12.320
yet. Wait, do you see
Hunter Dickinson and that game coming to Allen

726
00:50:12.400 --> 00:50:15.719
Fieldhouse here in just a few weeks
at Show Me Hawk? What is your

727
00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:19.760
take on this recent Kansas quarterback controversy. By God, that's next music.

728
00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:22.719
Do you think that Kansas? Do
you think that Kansas rides with Jason Bean

729
00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:25.000
for the rest of the year or
do they think they clear Jalen Daniels if

730
00:50:25.000 --> 00:50:30.760
he's healthy. They did clear him, didn't they? He was active like

731
00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:38.679
a week ago. Yeah, this
is a hard thing to like care about

732
00:50:38.760 --> 00:50:45.599
honestly anymore. I'm a big Jalen
Daniels fan. I hope he plays at

733
00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:49.239
some point. I want him to
play. I personally am not on the

734
00:50:49.320 --> 00:50:52.800
He's soft train. I think that's
a little silly, but it is very

735
00:50:52.840 --> 00:50:58.760
weird and he he. I don't
get what's happening, and the university is

736
00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:01.199
being very unclear about but I think
it's very likely you do not see him

737
00:51:01.199 --> 00:51:05.880
play the rest of the season.
But I know nothing because the university doesn't

738
00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:08.599
actually say anything about the situation.
Regardless of whether he's soft or not,

739
00:51:08.719 --> 00:51:13.880
He's not showing up to watch the
games anyways. Jason Bean, with all

740
00:51:13.960 --> 00:51:17.239
accounts and respects, despite how good
Jalen Daniels is and despite how Reala's injury

741
00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:22.039
is, is your quarterback one.
He's earned the spot. He showed up

742
00:51:22.039 --> 00:51:25.320
for this team he's been there and
people, you know, could criticize him.

743
00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:29.599
I know we've given our fair share
of criticism of him Ryan specifically,

744
00:51:29.920 --> 00:51:32.920
but he is there and he is
fighting for his team, and I think

745
00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:36.519
that he deserves, you know,
the starting spot the rest of the season

746
00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:39.599
and should be considered QB one throughout
the rest of the season. Yeah.

747
00:51:39.599 --> 00:51:43.960
I think what Nick just said basically
copy and paste that that's how I feel.

748
00:51:44.719 --> 00:51:49.079
I love Jaylen Daniel's ability, and
I would love to have him out

749
00:51:49.119 --> 00:51:52.880
there because this Kansas team really could
have competed for a Big twelve championship with

750
00:51:52.039 --> 00:51:55.480
him. I still think winning double
digit games is on the table for them

751
00:51:55.480 --> 00:51:59.519
with Jason Bean as their quarterback.
And I have been hard on Jason Bean

752
00:51:59.559 --> 00:52:01.440
because he's you know, we're near
as good of a quarterback as Jayalen Daniels.

753
00:52:01.519 --> 00:52:05.519
I don't really even think Jason Bean's
that good. But what Nick said

754
00:52:05.559 --> 00:52:07.320
is one hundred percent true. He
shows up for his team. He's tough

755
00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:09.800
as nails. We see him take
all the shots and get right back up.

756
00:52:10.039 --> 00:52:13.480
We've seen the way that he's turned
into a leader on this team.

757
00:52:13.639 --> 00:52:15.760
You can see the way that this
team respects him. This is his team.

758
00:52:15.840 --> 00:52:19.840
He's earned that spot, and this
Kansas team is ultimately gonna go as

759
00:52:19.880 --> 00:52:22.119
far as they take as he takes
them. If he plays well, they

760
00:52:22.159 --> 00:52:25.440
could win ten games. They could
be a legitimate contender for an Orange Bowl

761
00:52:25.519 --> 00:52:29.639
spot if he plays well these last
few weeks. If he shows up like

762
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:34.320
most of the fourth quarter at Oklahoma
or Oklahoma State fourth quarter Jason Bean,

763
00:52:34.639 --> 00:52:39.320
well you're rolling at ice at that
point. But the Jaylen Danilot, Jalen

764
00:52:39.400 --> 00:52:44.960
Daniels, regardless of the injury,
Apart from that, like, it's undeniable

765
00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:47.760
that he is a much better quarterback
than Jason Bean. Not to say that

766
00:52:47.840 --> 00:52:52.280
Jason Bean is outrightly awful, though
he does have that streak in him at

767
00:52:52.280 --> 00:52:59.360
times Like Kansas, I don't think
that's an overreaction to say could legitimately be

768
00:52:59.480 --> 00:53:04.360
a play off hopeful. Uh.
If if Daniels had started all season,

769
00:53:05.840 --> 00:53:09.000
yeah, because they beat Oklahoma State, be in the Texas Game a lot.

770
00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:12.119
They were already in it, and
I think they would have been in

771
00:53:12.159 --> 00:53:15.079
it even more and they would have
had a real chance to win that game.

772
00:53:15.119 --> 00:53:20.239
I think if Daniels is in that
is in that game, I think

773
00:53:20.239 --> 00:53:22.960
they're eight and one. If Daniels
is healthy all year. I think they

774
00:53:23.039 --> 00:53:28.559
they still lose Texas, but I
think they win the Oklahoma State game.

775
00:53:28.599 --> 00:53:31.239
They should have won it anyway.
Yeah they Yeah, exactly, they should

776
00:53:31.239 --> 00:53:34.760
have won anyway. And I think
they would have had like a thirty percent

777
00:53:34.880 --> 00:53:37.280
chance to beat Texas. I mean, they were in that game with Jason

778
00:53:37.320 --> 00:53:40.159
Bean doing nothing. They were in
that game in the first half where he

779
00:53:40.199 --> 00:53:45.440
had like three completions at halftime like
and Daniels warm. That was the game.

780
00:53:45.559 --> 00:53:51.079
Daniels hurt himself. He aggravated it
that morning that morning. Yeahah,

781
00:53:51.079 --> 00:53:52.320
but I mean it's still I mean, this is still the best Kansas team

782
00:53:52.400 --> 00:53:57.639
since the Orange Bowl team in seven
uh and they are a blast watch.

783
00:53:58.320 --> 00:54:00.079
Let me tell you one thing that
I don't think is happening. I don't

784
00:54:00.119 --> 00:54:04.719
think this is some elaborate ploy to
sit out even though he can play because

785
00:54:04.760 --> 00:54:07.880
he wants to transfer with Lan's life
Bowlder, I don't think that's it.

786
00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:10.679
I don't think he's healthy enough to
play now. I've seen a lot of

787
00:54:10.719 --> 00:54:15.599
players, and I'm not trying to
throw the soft card because that's not what

788
00:54:15.679 --> 00:54:17.559
I'm here to do. But I
do think it's kind of strange. That

789
00:54:17.599 --> 00:54:22.320
you have a quarterback who's active and
dress that isn't fighting like tooth and nail

790
00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:24.559
to get in games, because you
see that and those are usually the type

791
00:54:24.559 --> 00:54:28.800
of guys playing quarterback. Jason Bean
strikes me as a guy like that.

792
00:54:29.239 --> 00:54:31.559
I don't know if Jaylen Daniels is
balancing other things, but if he's not

793
00:54:31.639 --> 00:54:36.679
healthy enough to play, stop making
him active for games. Don't put him

794
00:54:36.679 --> 00:54:39.000
in uniform on the sidelines. If
he's not a healthy, weird one,

795
00:54:39.039 --> 00:54:44.199
he's not healthy. What game was
that was the It was the home game

796
00:54:44.239 --> 00:54:46.840
against Oklahoma, because we were like, yeah, they need him. Yeah.

797
00:54:46.840 --> 00:54:50.840
That was the really strange one.
That really where I just threw my

798
00:54:50.840 --> 00:54:52.480
hands up and said, Okay,
I'm not even gonna try to like prognosticate

799
00:54:52.519 --> 00:54:57.360
any of this anymore, because yeah, he was in uniform. He was

800
00:54:57.400 --> 00:55:00.679
literally in uniform. He was active. Yeah he was able to go.

801
00:55:00.760 --> 00:55:05.280
If he was able to go,
why didn't he go? Like That's that's

802
00:55:05.360 --> 00:55:07.599
the really strange one to me.
I do not understand that at all.

803
00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:12.440
But Jason being played a great fourth
quarter against Iowa State. I made a

804
00:55:12.519 --> 00:55:15.159
couple of really nice throws to help
ice that game. Nick, you were

805
00:55:15.159 --> 00:55:17.239
in ams give us a little bit
of a summary on how that went.

806
00:55:17.320 --> 00:55:21.239
What was it like being up there. You said there were no KU fans

807
00:55:21.280 --> 00:55:23.920
in there. Yeah, we were
like one of like five KU fans the

808
00:55:23.920 --> 00:55:28.280
game, which is really surprising because
it's not a far drive and K's playing

809
00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:32.159
well this season. But I was
really impressed with the stadium. I think

810
00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:36.679
that it's cool spot. They did
some cool upgrades. They had like fireworks

811
00:55:36.679 --> 00:55:40.679
before the game, so I thought
that was cool. I set in a

812
00:55:40.719 --> 00:55:45.559
section around a bunch of old white
haired you know, you got the Ku

813
00:55:45.679 --> 00:55:49.079
joco, you know, old money
that sits in the sits on their hands

814
00:55:49.119 --> 00:55:52.199
at the K basketball games down in
the blue section. It was kind of

815
00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:54.880
like this with the season ticket holders
at Iowa State. I was very surprised

816
00:55:54.880 --> 00:55:59.360
at how quiet the stadium was,
even in like the the point of the

817
00:55:59.360 --> 00:56:01.199
gamer is eighteen into twenty one and
Iowa State could have got in the stop,

818
00:56:01.280 --> 00:56:05.199
you know, and uh it was. It was just I was a

819
00:56:05.239 --> 00:56:07.840
little underwhelmed with with the fans there. But yeah, on the way out

820
00:56:07.840 --> 00:56:13.440
of the stadium, you know,
Channing rock Shock, Jayhawk and some lady

821
00:56:13.480 --> 00:56:15.599
came up and whispered in my ear
at FKU. So that was cool,

822
00:56:16.519 --> 00:56:20.599
but overall it was a fun trip
to Ames. That's that town is like

823
00:56:21.119 --> 00:56:24.079
more po dunk than Manhattan. It's
like very small, but it's cool.

824
00:56:25.239 --> 00:56:29.320
And they blew a lot. They
bow as much as the basketball fans.

825
00:56:29.320 --> 00:56:31.519
They blew a lot. Wow.
Yeah, that's that's what they do.

826
00:56:31.599 --> 00:56:34.960
But they've had Kansas's number up there
for a while. Good to see k

827
00:56:35.079 --> 00:56:37.119
you steal one from them. First
win for Kansas up at Iowa State in

828
00:56:37.199 --> 00:56:42.239
many years. A couple more questions
here at k tweets and News ranked the

829
00:56:42.280 --> 00:56:47.840
seven rotation players from best three point
shooter to worst seven Timberlake one, mccolor

830
00:56:47.920 --> 00:56:58.159
two, jeez U three for fear, Dickinson, Yeah, Dickinson four,

831
00:56:58.320 --> 00:57:02.440
then probably Harris and then probably it's
kJ last regardless, and then six would

832
00:57:02.480 --> 00:57:08.239
be l Marco at this point and
Parker Brown, Parker Brown's Parker Brown's the

833
00:57:08.280 --> 00:57:15.039
eighth, isn't he? That was
yeah Brown's eight. Yes, So yeah

834
00:57:15.119 --> 00:57:17.840
that at Timberlakes one, Adams is
last and everybody else is somewhere in there.

835
00:57:19.079 --> 00:57:22.440
Two to six are really interchangeable at
this point. We'll see that H

836
00:57:22.840 --> 00:57:25.239
mccolrs pretty clearly. Two, three
to six is pretty interchangeable at this point.

837
00:57:25.639 --> 00:57:31.039
And then last last not a question
here. A at AJSN underscore official

838
00:57:31.079 --> 00:57:35.400
says the as a bookie stealing coach
to coach Duncan MAUI was against b Yu,

839
00:57:35.480 --> 00:57:37.039
not Shamanad. I forgot about that. You are correct. That was

840
00:57:37.079 --> 00:57:42.000
the TJ That was the TJ House
game. Remember him, that ball little

841
00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:46.880
corp that's like thirty four, he's
married with three kids and was playing basketball

842
00:57:46.880 --> 00:57:54.039
against the Jayhawks and MAUI remember the
video of him getting upset onnath the baseline

843
00:57:54.480 --> 00:57:59.679
he's shut the freup or something.
It was, No, it was shut

844
00:57:59.679 --> 00:58:02.599
the heck up. Yeah, yeah, that's exactly what it was. Somebody

845
00:58:02.639 --> 00:58:07.599
made fun of his hairline because he
was thirty three years old and playing college

846
00:58:07.639 --> 00:58:10.719
basketball. But yes, I do
remember that. That was funny. I

847
00:58:10.760 --> 00:58:16.519
forgot that was the same guy.
Rats. If you ever have any asscarcbs,

848
00:58:16.639 --> 00:58:23.880
use the ex hashtag ascarcb X gross. That's a horrible name. Who

849
00:58:23.920 --> 00:58:30.719
the heck would name an X would
name an app X? Touching that one?

850
00:58:31.039 --> 00:58:35.440
Okay, we are going to touch
that one, all right, Manhattan

851
00:58:35.440 --> 00:58:39.159
Formy Daniels, Okay, now,
Landon just really ripped off the band aid.

852
00:58:40.199 --> 00:58:49.079
So let's let's make this even better
by talking about Stormy daniels partner's hometown,

853
00:58:49.159 --> 00:58:53.280
Manhattan. Manhattan is the next team
to come into Alan Fieldhouse. They

854
00:58:53.320 --> 00:58:58.760
are one to zero, winning tonight
at Bryant on the road sixty one to

855
00:58:58.880 --> 00:59:02.400
fifty nine. Manhattan was a twelve
point underdog in this game and went on

856
00:59:02.440 --> 00:59:06.760
the road and won. So,
I mean, obviously Bryant is not gonna

857
00:59:06.800 --> 00:59:09.400
get mixed up with you know,
James Madison or any powerhouse. But still

858
00:59:09.400 --> 00:59:13.280
pretty impressive that they went on the
road and got a dub there. They

859
00:59:13.320 --> 00:59:15.719
will enter one and oh like the
Jayhawks. They are from the May,

860
00:59:15.920 --> 00:59:22.800
from the Mac and they were twelve
I'm I'm so that was really funny.

861
00:59:22.960 --> 00:59:25.480
So we can call him the make
that's fine. Twelve and eighteen. Overall

862
00:59:25.519 --> 00:59:29.679
last year they were seventh in their
conference, a very middle of the pack

863
00:59:29.920 --> 00:59:32.679
for a mid major team. It
would appear last year the best player was

864
00:59:32.760 --> 00:59:37.679
named aunt Nelson. Don't see aunt
Nelson on the team. They do have

865
00:59:37.760 --> 00:59:44.599
a guy named zin y z i
n Ye. Uh. Pretty wow.

866
00:59:44.840 --> 00:59:49.159
I got forty of those letters wrong. I got forty percent of those letters

867
00:59:49.159 --> 00:59:53.000
wrong. I am completely dyslexic x
I N y I. I was looking

868
00:59:53.079 --> 00:59:57.880
right at it and just just got
it wrong. This dude is six nine

869
00:59:57.880 --> 01:00:00.639
to thirty from China. Yeah,
to be the tallest man in the history

870
01:00:00.679 --> 01:00:07.199
of China after Yao Ming. That's
funny. Wow. Also, much like

871
01:00:07.239 --> 01:00:14.039
North Carolina Central, Jayhawks have never
played Manhattan. So Manhattan in their game

872
01:00:14.079 --> 01:00:19.280
against Bryant went one for sixteen shooting
threes, that is six percent. They

873
01:00:19.280 --> 01:00:23.320
are clearly a two point reliant game. Their best player, Daniel Rousen,

874
01:00:24.360 --> 01:00:28.639
went off for sixteen points. He's
a six foot eight power forward, so

875
01:00:28.719 --> 01:00:31.559
this team has a little bit more
height than North Carolina Central. But this

876
01:00:31.639 --> 01:00:35.480
was a very slow paced game.
I know it's one game, but the

877
01:00:35.519 --> 01:00:38.360
starting five nobody made a three in
their openers, so I don't get the

878
01:00:38.400 --> 01:00:42.440
sense they're going to try to get
into a three point shooting contest with the

879
01:00:42.519 --> 01:00:46.320
Jayhawks. And how many people do
you think went to Manhattan versus Bryant tonight?

880
01:00:46.639 --> 01:00:53.440
According to ESPN nine hundred eight,
seven hundred and fifty two, you

881
01:00:53.519 --> 01:00:58.559
guys both would have lost prices,
right style you both went over incorrect?

882
01:00:59.360 --> 01:01:01.760
Yes, that is that's all the
Manhattan analysis we have. By the time

883
01:01:01.800 --> 01:01:05.320
we get to Kentucky, we'll actually
be able to tell you a little bit

884
01:01:05.320 --> 01:01:09.559
about the players on this team.
Yeah, well, Kansas is gonna win

885
01:01:09.599 --> 01:01:15.199
this one, sure, pretty big. I'm gonna go with the ninety seven

886
01:01:15.440 --> 01:01:22.320
to fifty two. Okay, I'm
gonna say KAYU wins ninety five to twenty

887
01:01:22.320 --> 01:01:27.960
eight. I like how the scores
are just absolute out of hats at this

888
01:01:28.039 --> 01:01:31.639
point. Kansas wins eighty nine to
sixty. I don't know what the line

889
01:01:31.679 --> 01:01:36.079
will be. It's probably gonna be
about what the game against the Eagles was.

890
01:01:36.159 --> 01:01:40.000
It'll be about twenty five to thirty. Manhattan, at least from what

891
01:01:40.039 --> 01:01:45.519
we saw tonight, appears to be
a better team than North Carolina Central,

892
01:01:45.679 --> 01:01:49.360
so we'll see. But Jaspers,
by the way, is a great name.

893
01:01:49.360 --> 01:01:52.480
They'll bring those green uniforms into Allen
Field House. That's that's kind of

894
01:01:52.480 --> 01:01:55.039
cool. When's the last time a
non conference team with green uniforms came in

895
01:01:55.039 --> 01:01:59.400
here? I don't remember one of
those North Dakota State State. Oh yeah,

896
01:01:59.599 --> 01:02:04.000
that, speaking of Tyan grand Foster, Tyon grand Foster saved KU's ass

897
01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:08.280
against North Carolina North. No,
it was a block. You don't remember

898
01:02:08.280 --> 01:02:10.440
that, right? I know,
I do, I do, I just

899
01:02:12.400 --> 01:02:15.159
very I think he did hit a
three in that game. I think that

900
01:02:15.159 --> 01:02:20.920
that was one of his three threes. I think that was that that game

901
01:02:21.000 --> 01:02:24.000
was so that a little input into
that game. That was during the COVID

902
01:02:24.039 --> 01:02:29.239
season. North North Dakota State played
at Allen Field House and I was flying

903
01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:34.199
home that day from Orlando and the
game was on ESPN Plus. And it's

904
01:02:34.199 --> 01:02:38.199
not like if that's gonna get streamed
on a Southwest flight. So I got

905
01:02:38.239 --> 01:02:43.039
on the plane in its halftime and
KU's losing at home to North Dakota State

906
01:02:43.039 --> 01:02:45.519
and they're white brigade of three point
shooters. And the only way I could

907
01:02:45.519 --> 01:02:50.920
follow that game is by watching on
Southwest. You can watch ESPN, so

908
01:02:51.000 --> 01:02:54.079
whatever was on ESPN, and every
five minutes they would run the score on

909
01:02:54.119 --> 01:02:59.239
the bottom bar with the college basketball
scores. That was how I followed that

910
01:02:59.320 --> 01:03:02.480
game and saw the clock get closer
and closer to Kansas losing a home game

911
01:03:02.519 --> 01:03:07.039
against North Dakota State before Tyan Grant
Foster saved them at the last minute.

912
01:03:08.239 --> 01:03:12.800
Wow. The good news is things
got much better for that team as the

913
01:03:12.800 --> 01:03:17.119
season went along. Yeah, only
only upward trajectory there all right, So

914
01:03:17.199 --> 01:03:20.719
our next show is going to come
out at the end of the weekend.

915
01:03:20.719 --> 01:03:22.639
We're recording Sunday afternoon, right,
That's that's kind of what we said.

916
01:03:23.239 --> 01:03:25.639
Uh yeah, I think it's the
plan, all right, So look for

917
01:03:25.679 --> 01:03:30.159
the next show to drop on Monday
morning. Got a whole week before the

918
01:03:30.159 --> 01:03:35.440
next episode of ITP and at that
point we'll actually have a noteworthy game to

919
01:03:35.519 --> 01:03:39.599
preview Champions Classic week coming up.
Kansas and Kentucky. Is it in Indianapolis

920
01:03:39.679 --> 01:03:46.400
this year? Is that right?
I have no idea what chyrack, because

921
01:03:46.440 --> 01:03:51.440
the last time they played Kentucky at
Indy was the seventy two to forty game

922
01:03:51.599 --> 01:04:00.280
that was I think it's in Chiraq. Wait what Yeah, I was just

923
01:04:00.280 --> 01:04:06.960
gonna let that go and go on. That sounds like a good plan.

924
01:04:08.320 --> 01:04:15.239
Pickum No. Twelve Arizona at Yeah
to Chicago. Okay, Oh now I

925
01:04:15.360 --> 01:04:19.079
get it, Now, I get
it. Okay, that's that's still that's

926
01:04:19.079 --> 01:04:25.320
still pretty funny, though, Nick, I applied your number twelve Arizona at

927
01:04:25.400 --> 01:04:28.920
number two. Duke, this game
is at Cameron pretty good matchup, Coach

928
01:04:29.000 --> 01:04:30.360
k Leaves, and what do you
know, Duke starts scheduling a little bit

929
01:04:30.400 --> 01:04:33.559
tougher. I guess this is this
is the best matchup of the first week

930
01:04:33.599 --> 01:04:38.239
of college basketball. Do the Wildcats
have a shot to swow down the Blue

931
01:04:38.239 --> 01:04:42.159
Devils? Uh? That wn'll be
a game. I think Duke wins though,

932
01:04:45.159 --> 01:04:49.920
yeah Duke. Sorry. Not very
often that we see Duke be the

933
01:04:49.920 --> 01:04:56.280
more experienced team this early in the
season. But with Philipowski he had twenty

934
01:04:56.320 --> 01:05:00.239
five points to night against Dartmouth.
UH, one of the best players in

935
01:05:00.280 --> 01:05:02.920
college basketball. It's hard to see
a young team like Arizona winning there,

936
01:05:03.000 --> 01:05:05.320
but it would be pretty funny.
So I will go with the Blue Devils.

937
01:05:05.480 --> 01:05:11.400
Number fifteen Texas A and M at
Ohio State. This is a A.

938
01:05:11.719 --> 01:05:14.239
I guess it's a showdown between Power
five teams. I will go with

939
01:05:14.320 --> 01:05:16.760
A and M on the road.
Ohio State almost lost to night to boy

940
01:05:16.760 --> 01:05:19.480
who they almost lose to. I'll
go with Buzz Williams team on the road.

941
01:05:20.280 --> 01:05:27.840
Yeah, same, yep. Ohio
State almost lost to Oakland of Michigan

942
01:05:27.920 --> 01:05:30.920
at home. They needed a forty
five point second half to avoid that.

943
01:05:30.159 --> 01:05:33.239
So yes, I think A and
M beats them. Number nine Tennessee at

944
01:05:33.280 --> 01:05:38.440
Wisconsin. Never trust Rick Barnes,
give me the Badgers. Yep, same

945
01:05:38.639 --> 01:05:45.159
Badgers in Tennessee. Nick, did
you say Tennessee? Yep? And last

946
01:05:45.159 --> 01:05:48.159
game. These games are all on
Friday night. How about this for a

947
01:05:48.280 --> 01:05:53.599
test for a new Big twelve team, number seventeen San Diego State going to

948
01:05:53.760 --> 01:05:56.840
BYU. I don't know anything about
either of these teams, so I'll take

949
01:05:56.960 --> 01:05:59.840
the home team, give me the
Cougars, and then I was gonna do

950
01:05:59.880 --> 01:06:01.199
this same thing. I'm actually gonna
flip up though, I'm gonna go as

951
01:06:01.320 --> 01:06:05.840
text in that case. BYU gets
pretty rowdy for these games. I think

952
01:06:05.920 --> 01:06:08.679
Nick's phone's coming out. I didn't
hear you. Who do you want?

953
01:06:08.760 --> 01:06:12.159
I said? I said, BYU? Okay, yeah, we're having We're

954
01:06:12.199 --> 01:06:16.880
having some having some phone issues,
just like North Carolina Central had some basketball

955
01:06:16.960 --> 01:06:20.840
issues. All issues. Yep,
there is your there's your show where one

956
01:06:20.920 --> 01:06:24.400
show in how did we do?
Do we get a D plus? That

957
01:06:24.400 --> 01:06:27.800
felt like a D plus? Effort
at times? Yeah? It was like

958
01:06:28.519 --> 01:06:31.440
effort wise, yeah, really low. I think execution was decently high,

959
01:06:31.480 --> 01:06:35.239
and I think comedy was moderately high. Even it was just at the expense

960
01:06:35.280 --> 01:06:40.639
of Stanislaus State and Saint Mary's of
the Woods. God, but Stanislaus State.

961
01:06:41.079 --> 01:06:45.000
You gotta work with what you got. Stanislaus State really got to play

962
01:06:45.400 --> 01:06:48.320
a game that counted for a top
twenty five team, and the final score

963
01:06:48.400 --> 01:06:54.119
was one hundred and seven to twenty
eight. The Top Performer page on ESPN

964
01:06:54.199 --> 01:06:57.800
shows like who let each team is
scoring, it says top performer, and

965
01:06:57.800 --> 01:07:03.079
then it's somebody named j Wade the
third with seven points. That's a quarter

966
01:07:03.079 --> 01:07:10.199
of his team's points. That's normally
not bad. Man. I want to

967
01:07:10.280 --> 01:07:14.639
I want to see Kansas get to
play Stanislaus Really all basically all of the

968
01:07:14.719 --> 01:07:20.159
WCC teams tonight played teams without ESPN
pages. Pepperdine beat somebody named Concordia hyphen

969
01:07:20.239 --> 01:07:27.119
Irvine by twelve. Good good competition
there for Gonzaga, h San Francisco beat

970
01:07:27.159 --> 01:07:30.880
Bethesda. They won by a lot. They scored one hundred and twenty eight

971
01:07:30.920 --> 01:07:34.239
tonight, and San Diego played some
team named Sonama State and they are winning

972
01:07:34.280 --> 01:07:39.440
forty eight to forty six at the
under twelve time out. That's bad.

973
01:07:39.840 --> 01:07:43.039
That's all, really bad. I
wonder how Gonzaga has one all these conferences

974
01:07:43.039 --> 01:07:48.039
in a row's I gotta see this
for myself. This is also Pacific who's

975
01:07:48.039 --> 01:07:53.159
also actually keeping the show going for
But Pacific, who's also in that league,

976
01:07:53.239 --> 01:07:57.880
lost to sam Houston State at home. At least that's a team that

977
01:07:58.000 --> 01:08:02.920
I have heard of before. If
sy, I guess Stanislaus State Saint Mary's

978
01:08:02.960 --> 01:08:06.239
is just getting in the in the
routine four conference season. It's like a

979
01:08:06.280 --> 01:08:10.159
tune up game for that, because
they're better than half the teams in this

980
01:08:10.239 --> 01:08:15.679
league. It's true, all right, somebody say goodbye somebody in the show.

981
01:08:15.960 --> 01:08:21.680
Uh immersively good night, guys,
loyal Marrimount is playing Westcliff University,

982
01:08:21.800 --> 01:08:30.239
and Portland is playing Dead Adventures Lewis
and Clark. Whoa, whoa what?

983
01:08:31.800 --> 01:08:35.600
Okay, So a lot of the
ESPN teams without a page you can't click

984
01:08:35.640 --> 01:08:39.640
on. Lewis and Clark has a
logo, but I still can't click on

985
01:08:39.680 --> 01:08:42.439
it. You can also get into
that game for four dollars. Are they

986
01:08:42.479 --> 01:08:45.520
actually playing Lewis and Clark? Like, did they get those two guys out

987
01:08:45.560 --> 01:08:48.039
of the grave? That'd be pretty
wild. Those are the mascots. It's

988
01:08:48.119 --> 01:08:54.359
just two people wearing Lewis and clark'skins
with with Davy Crockett hats and they're just

989
01:08:54.399 --> 01:09:00.760
in a boat. Yeah, yikes, man this conference anyway, See y'all,

990
01:09:01.560 --> 01:09:02.000
good night.
