00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:08.560
Another win for Kansas, this one
coming an enemy territory and another podcast host

2
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:14.039
rotation change. I keep thinking we're
gonna have all three of us and still

3
00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:18.920
a two man show, but the
not the one that you've been used to

4
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:23.199
here in the last few few episodes. Landon, you are you have returned?

5
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:26.760
You have returned from illness? How
are you? That's the guy who

6
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:29.640
might have herpes? To you,
sir, that's right, that's your new

7
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:33.200
name. Whenever I'm Ryan Landrus,
I have herpes. That's the way it's

8
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:37.000
going to be the rest of the
of the introductions, right this show at

9
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:39.600
least, well, we'll give it
one. But yes, I'm back,

10
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:42.679
and I am feeling quite a lot
better. Thank you. Happy to be

11
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.560
so. You are sick for like
a week and a half, right,

12
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:50.640
Like everybody in Kansas has some sort
of respiratory ailment. Right now, I

13
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:54.320
feel like and you did not evade
it. No, yeah, quite the

14
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:57.840
opposite. Yeah, it was a
solid like I'm still not even one hundred

15
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.320
percent over and I can still feel
it in the back of my throat a

16
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:04.799
little bit. It's just like significantly
better. Yeah, basically had like canker

17
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.319
stores in the back of my throat, and there was like two viable options.

18
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.920
One was like a hand foot in
mouth type thing and one was herpes.

19
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.959
So I think it's the first one, but it could technically be the

20
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.560
second one. Yeah, well,
I mean, and that's then that's that's

21
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.239
your business, sir. We joked
about how you went on a couple of

22
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.920
dates and that's what you came back
with. It would be a very you

23
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.079
bad luck. It would be a
very you thing to happen, right,

24
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:36.159
to have that take place. It's
just to you finally get to get to

25
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:41.319
have a couple of illustrious dates just
in time to bring herpes back. Yeah,

26
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.760
that would that would be right up
my alley. And hey, sir,

27
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:51.599
at least you caught something, unlike
Kadarius Tony who every time they threw

28
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:56.200
him the vaull. Today there it
goes. And that was also Trey Galloway

29
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.120
shooting a game tying would have been
game tying three off the rim, which

30
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:05.680
I can't believe missed. I know
that looks so in, It felt so

31
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.039
in. That just felt like a
ball that was never going to miss,

32
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:12.560
and then it did. And so
Kansas gets a break. This is inside

33
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.159
the paint on rock chalk Blog with
This is not a football podcast. It

34
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:20.199
is a basketball one, though,
and we're here to talk all about well

35
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:24.240
just about everything everything else, everything
k basketball and their big win over Indiana.

36
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:28.199
I am Ryan Landrath, and I'm
the guy that might have herpies.

37
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:31.840
No Nick today, he's dealing with
some family stuff. We hope to have

38
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:36.800
him back, probably one more episode
before Christmas. I got to think at

39
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:40.080
some point we get we get some
sort of post Yale show in before the

40
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:46.520
holidays, and whenever that happens,
then maybe we'll have our full rotation back.

41
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:47.560
But hey, until then, you
get the two of us. The

42
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:53.479
holidays are near, let's talk about
a big road win for your Kansas basketball

43
00:02:53.639 --> 00:03:02.199
Jayhawks number two Kansas seventy five,
Indiana seventy one. So, Lanta,

44
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:07.599
you haven't been on the show for
a couple of episodes. They didn't look

45
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.840
particularly impressive in either of the games
you missed. I think you missed MKC

46
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:16.080
and Missouri. And then they end
up beating Indiana, but albeit not by

47
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:21.840
the most comfortable of margins either.
Your thoughts not only on this game,

48
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.800
but also on all of the other
kind of storylines that have come out of

49
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:30.039
the last couple of weeks that you
missed. Yeah, it's not been a

50
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:36.199
very explicitly impressive stretch for the Hawks, that's for sure. I think on

51
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.919
one of the last two shows,
Ryan, you were talking about how it

52
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:46.840
feels like we're not learning a ton
necessarily about Kansas. I think we are

53
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:51.439
learning. Maybe we're not learning I
think a ton about maybe the team's ceiling

54
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:55.400
and floor necessarily. But I do
think we're learning that as we've talked about

55
00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:00.000
a lot on the show this season, that the two guard spot is just

56
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:02.879
who knows what that is right now? Like who do you trust? Why

57
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:08.400
are guys playing, wire guys not
playing? It seems like Nick Timberlake is

58
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:14.639
not gonna work out. It seems
like el Marco Jackson is definitively gonna be

59
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:18.240
your first option at that spot,
and I think that should be the case.

60
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:23.319
Yeah, there's some weird things,
definitely some weird things going on with

61
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:27.240
this team. I still think it's
a very good basketball team. I don't

62
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:31.439
think the way UMKC or Mazoo went
or excuse me, Kansas City, not

63
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:36.759
UMKC, Kansas City. I think
the way those games went is not really

64
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:42.560
indicative of Kansas's like overall quality necessarily, But then again, I mean,

65
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.319
how many close games can you have
before that's just kind of who you are.

66
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:47.839
I don't know, I think I
think it's impossible to really take too

67
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:53.959
much away from the last stretch until
we'll get to conference play. I think

68
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:57.360
that's when you'll really learn about who
this team is. But yeah, it's

69
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.959
it's been, it's been weird.
I think against teams like UMKC Eastern Illinois,

70
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.639
they just kind of can't be made
to care very much. I think

71
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:08.920
it's gonna be I think it's really
tough for that team to actually get up

72
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:12.319
for games like that. They blew
up Manhattan and NC Central I think woke

73
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:17.240
up the next day and decided they
could not care less about teams that don't

74
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:23.519
have a number or are from a
major conference, which is fair. It's

75
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:27.240
fair. Not easy to do that, yeah, especially when you know you're

76
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.199
gonna win or almost certainly are going
to win games like that. Obviously,

77
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:34.680
Indiana, that's a really tough environment. A pretty solid team, good if

78
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:39.120
not great. You know, they're
not elite, but they're still very solid,

79
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:43.319
very competent basketball team in a very
tough place to play. So that

80
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:46.920
being close, not to worry.
Very resilient effort, even if there were

81
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.759
some concerns in there for sure.
Well, and we looked at the schedule

82
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:54.240
after they got out of Maui and
we thought this team's about to go on

83
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:57.199
a winning streak. At that point. We looked at their next ten games

84
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:00.839
and we thought that while they be
favored in all of them, nine to

85
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.360
one may have been considered the most
likely, but you and I both thought

86
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:05.800
there was a good chance they were
gonna go ten. And oh, they've

87
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:10.279
cleared the first half of that ten
game stretch. Eastern Illinois, Yukon,

88
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:14.199
Kansas City, Missouri, and at
Indiana three absolute layups in there, but

89
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.800
also Yukon at home was their toughest
game, and at Indiana being the road

90
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.720
game. Now we set our sites
on the next five, which are Yale

91
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:24.600
at home and which test date at
the Sprint cent are very unlikely to see

92
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:28.600
a loss there. TCU at home, they should win that. At Central

93
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:32.600
Florida, a team that is almost
exactly ranked via kin Palm, where this

94
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.199
Indiana team they just beat is,
but it won't have the same atmosphere,

95
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:39.639
to say the least. And then
Oklahoma at home, who's currently ranked eleven

96
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:43.600
and is undefeated. But also,
I don't know if the next time Oklahoma

97
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.480
at home scares you will be the
first. They're going to continue to win

98
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:51.199
way more often than they're not.
And at this point, would if you

99
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:55.800
were betting on five and oh in
those five games or any other outcome Yale

100
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:59.480
which tuest eight TCU at UCF Oklahoma, are you betting on five and oh

101
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.920
oh, I'd have to Yeah,
I don't know how you would bet against

102
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:05.800
that. I mean, Oklahoma's giving
Kansas a scare now and again in Allen,

103
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:09.120
but they haven't come in with a
win ever. So yeah, it's

104
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:11.920
got to be the five and oh
to bet on. And if they do

105
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.959
that, their next two games after
that would be at Oklahoma State and at

106
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.160
West Virginia, who are the two
worst teams in the Big Twelve. So

107
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:21.519
let's just go ahead and really stretch
it out. And this may be predicting

108
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:26.759
a lot. This is predicting three
road wins and four other homer neutral site

109
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.079
wins, so that may be a
little ambitious, but let's just say they

110
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:32.519
win their next seven games, which
again are Yale which TOUS eight TCU at

111
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:38.800
UCF Oklahoma at Oklahoma State now West
Virginia. Then that gets you to seventeen

112
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:43.759
and one with a five and oho
conference record, and I'm not sure at

113
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.600
that point. I don't think you're
ever playing from behind in the Big twelve

114
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:51.279
race, and seventeen and one you
have been favored in every game you've played

115
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:55.920
this year. Yeah, there's gonna
be some eight point wins in there,

116
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.920
But like the they win, right, that's kind of all that matters,

117
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.120
at least in my book. Like, that's they win. I don't care

118
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:05.319
how good Indiana was. I don't
care how how much they should have won

119
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.079
that game. By winning that game. And Jay Wright, who has two

120
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.600
rings in which he beat Kansas twice
in order to get each, Jay Wright

121
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.800
said after the game on CBS the
same thing. I don't care how many

122
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.240
points they win by. That's championship
DNA that Kansas has by winning a game

123
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:22.600
like this. You kind of agree
with that little cliche, but I think

124
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.199
it's truthful. No, I think
it is. I think it's very impressive

125
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:31.720
to go into very rowdy environments and
come from behind and win. As we'll

126
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.039
talk about let's get into it a
little bit. Kansas trailed for the first

127
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.679
thirty five minutes of the game,
falling behind by eight halftime and down by

128
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.519
as many as thirteen early in the
second half. Every time it seemed like

129
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.759
they were making a push, the
Hoosiers, or more specifically Trey Galloway,

130
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.320
who had twenty eight of his own
answer, they would extinguish the momentum Kansas

131
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:54.720
had. But over the last twelve
minutes it was a thirty one to seventeen

132
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.440
game ending run that saw Kansas take
a lead with five minutes left and pull

133
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.919
away in the final couple minutes.
Made some big free throws, some big

134
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:07.440
buckets at the end. But yeah, I think all that they have shown

135
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:13.519
a very good ability to close this
season so far, and that's been very

136
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.159
important. They finished games very well, even games where maybe they shouldn't have

137
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.000
had to finish well, you know, Eastern Illinois and UMKC. They have

138
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.639
and they've had a lot of resilience
and they have finished very strong in putting

139
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:31.399
people away, you know, except
for Marquette, but that was a different

140
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.799
kind of different circumstance there. But
I do think that is championship DNA.

141
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:43.200
Only Kentucky out of their ten wins, only Kentucky was really in doubt in

142
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.440
the final two minutes, like I
know this game, you needed a couple

143
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.399
of free throws. But at no
point after they took the lead for the

144
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.679
first time did I think Kansas wasn't
gonna win that game. And it's been

145
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:58.840
like that for every game they've played, with the exception of Kentucky. That

146
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.919
one, you did need a a
final minute couple that you needed a couple

147
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.879
of game tying threes to rim out. And I understand that that Galloway had

148
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.559
a game tying three with thirty seconds
rim out here, so maybe that's not

149
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.440
totally fair, but it definitely didn't
feel like they were gonna lose this game

150
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.519
after they took the lead. They
scored twenty five points over the final like

151
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.000
like nine minutes in this game or
something like that, And at least my

152
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:24.120
opinion on watching it, the offense, it looked so hard to get the

153
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:26.480
offense to get going. You mentioned
every time they look like that they were

154
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:31.519
starting to put something together, they'd
miss a couple of easy shots and Indiana

155
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.440
would make a runout. Indiana was
playing fast, especially early in this game,

156
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:37.480
and I think they got tired as
the game went along, but then

157
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.360
all of a sudden. It was
like offense just happened. All of a

158
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.399
sudden, everything was going in.
Threes were going in. Hunter Dickinson's hook

159
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.399
shot that had been cold for thirty
minutes suddenly started finding all that and the

160
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.360
free throws, with the exception of
the one front end that mccullor missed,

161
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:56.240
that was really good as well.
Overall great win, also Kansas's first win

162
00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:00.799
ever at Assembly Hall. They haven't
played there in thirty years, but they

163
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:03.360
had been zero to three with two
losses in the seventies and one of the

164
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:09.279
nineties. Very very few places,
uh, in a school as illustrious,

165
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.840
says Kansas. Can they say that
they've played in a building at least three

166
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.399
times and never have won. Well, now they can't say that about Assembly

167
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.000
Hall because they wound up winning it. How good was that atmosphere though?

168
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.559
What a what a weird arena.
It's real narrow, like it looks like

169
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:26.799
a concert hall in there, where
all the seats are like right on top

170
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:30.720
of each other. It looked like, yeah and very tall, Yeah,

171
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.519
very tall and not very wide.
Yeah. I've always wanted to go to

172
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.879
Assembly Hall. Maybe one day I'll
make it out there. Yeah, it's

173
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:39.879
a it's a weird place. It's
a it's a neat looking place, and

174
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.919
they obviously, I mean it's Indiana, so they love their hoops for sure.

175
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:46.360
Yeah, they definitely kept it loud. And I know that Kansas is

176
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:48.919
going to have a home and home
with North Carolina starting next year, which

177
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.120
is awesome. But I want to
know what we need to do to get

178
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:56.759
them in Indiana to renew this series
the next six years Missouri style, because

179
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:00.480
that was so fun. Indiana fans
loved coming to Allen last year. The

180
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.840
Assembly Hall atmosphere is great, Like
these are the matchups that need to happen.

181
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:07.720
Whenever you watch teams like Duke never
schedule games like this, it just

182
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.279
really makes you wonder why. Like
I know that teams want to rack up

183
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:15.360
the wins, but these sort of
games, these sort of atmospheres. That

184
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:18.320
place was packed. Kudos to the
Indiana fans whose students are on winter break

185
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:22.519
for still packing that place. The
student section was full. It's what you

186
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.720
come to expect at fog Allen whenever
they play a Marquee blockbuster game like this

187
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:31.159
right around the holidays are right around
school, getting out awesome atmosphere to watch

188
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:31.639
a game, and then yeah,
it's got to be one of the two

189
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:37.480
three coolest arenas to watch at anywhere. I want to talk about KU fans,

190
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.480
but let's go ahead and talk about
these first two players, because they

191
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:46.759
balled out, and then I want
to talk about how the reaction after they

192
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:52.480
did one mistake like miss a shot
kind of leads me into my main point.

193
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:54.799
So go ahead, tell me about
Kevin McCorry. Let's start with the

194
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.399
two heroes of the night. Yeah, mccullor. He led the Jayhawks twenty

195
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.919
one points. He did miss a
lot of shots three of eight from the

196
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:03.960
field, two to five from three, though he did a lot of his

197
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:07.720
damage, most of his damage at
the free throw line, where he was

198
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.240
thirteen of sixteen, so he's still
creating, still making things happen offensively for

199
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:16.080
Kansas. He added six rebounds,
forces and three steals in thirty eight minutes.

200
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.919
He had to go ahead three and
all of his clutch free throws down

201
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.440
the stretch. So, as usual, even though the field goal percentage was

202
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.080
not great, McCuller was still very
very good, a very Jalen Wilson kind

203
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.759
of outing for McCuller. I'd say, great analogy. Yeah, you said

204
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.200
three for eight. He was three
for eleven. Actually missed three more shots,

205
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:37.799
missed eight, missed eight shots.
Correct, there you go, Yeah,

206
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.720
three for eleven from the floor and
then just one for six on two.

207
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:45.480
So he struggled. He was not
He was not what he normally is.

208
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:48.480
The Jalen Wilson bowling ball offense kind
of comparison is really good. But

209
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:54.120
McCuller one way, he's improved in
each of his last four seasons seventy seventy

210
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:56.600
three, seventy six, now eighty
one. From the free throw line.

211
00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:58.759
He's become increasingly reliable, and he
was great down the stretch in this game.

212
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:03.639
Made couple got the role of the
bounce in his favor on the two

213
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:09.519
that wound up putting the dagger in
Indiana's coffin and then switch the second one.

214
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.480
But McCully this year through eleven games, nineteen point seven rebounds, five

215
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:16.120
assists, shooting fifty percent from the
floor and thirty eight percent from three.

216
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.679
That is an All America. He's
one of the ten best players in college

217
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:24.679
basketball. Really kind of gives you
the ick to think of where Kansas would

218
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:26.320
be had he not taken his name
out of the draft. But yes,

219
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:30.360
all in all, spectacular game from
him. And this is the sort of

220
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:33.440
Jalen Wilson performance where you look at
the stats and the shooting percentage isn't great,

221
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:35.919
and you could point out a couple
of moments where he made you scratch

222
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.120
your head. But there's a reason
why Jalen Wilson, all the teams he

223
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.159
was on, they won a lot
of games. Same thing with Kevin McCorry.

224
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:46.200
There's a reason why every team he's
on manages to win a lot of

225
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:48.440
games. Okay, Dickinson, go
ahead, I'll go ahead and read those

226
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.960
threats and give you the analysis here
seventeen and fourteen for Hunter Dickinson, most

227
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.480
of his damage came in the second
half. He was eight for seventeen from

228
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:00.399
the floor, which is about as
poorly as you will ever see him shoot

229
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.759
the ball. But in the final
ten minutes he was four for four from

230
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:07.879
the floor to shake off a bad
start that featured a lot of miss bunnies.

231
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.200
He also said afterwards that he could
save a baby in Bloomington and still

232
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:15.080
get booed, which was pretty funny. Also said Kevin mccullor was his words,

233
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:20.480
not mine quote well endowed in his
postgame press conference, Kevin mccullar gives

234
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:24.480
no damns, and I think that
is just awesome. I kind of tie

235
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:28.240
to the next point. You can
analyze the basketball, I'll analyze the behavior.

236
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:31.399
The big forearm in front of the
crotch against Kentucky, then the Indiana

237
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:35.919
He's like pumping up the crowd,
waving to everybody in the middle of a

238
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.279
game. This is the sort of
stuff that Bill self wouldn't allow if he

239
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:41.960
wasn't so damn good. That's how
he gets away with it. He backs

240
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:46.279
it up. Why and he said
it best. Dickens sads the game,

241
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:48.799
said, there is nothing I can
do that will make them like me,

242
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:54.360
So why be a nice guy?
Yeah? Why? Basketball is more fun

243
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.279
with a villain and seeing him get
under everybody's skin. You know, it

244
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:02.000
contributes on the status he does.
Well. He's awesome. Love seeing the

245
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:04.279
antics. He's my favorite. Yeah, I mean, and he is very

246
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:11.919
good. He was he was not
elite for a good portion of this game.

247
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.960
But then yeah, he was extremely
clutched down the stretch. I mean,

248
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:19.600
it's just wild that like seventeen and
fourteen is like, yeah, he

249
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:23.360
was alright, he was pretty good
on the floor. He wasn't two for

250
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:29.360
twelve, right, Yeah, I
mean just like just absurd, just absurd

251
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:34.399
how high his production is that that
this stat line feels a little bit sleepy

252
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:38.799
from him. Obviously the end was
not He did have some massive buckets at

253
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:42.399
the end, some big rebounds.
Yeah, I mean, he remains very,

254
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:47.360
very good. He doesn't do a
lot of things wrong. I do

255
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:52.679
think his defense could use some work. He's a little slow on defense.

256
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:56.000
He's at a position a little bit, but it's not so bad that it's

257
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:57.720
it's given the other team free buckets
all the time. But he's at a

258
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:02.559
position a little bit. But uh, that's a minor nitpick in what is

259
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:07.440
otherwise a dominant player and a guy
like I mean, when was the last

260
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:12.680
time that we've ever seen a guy
just like fifteen and fifteen is borderline and

261
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:17.839
expectation going into a night like this
doesn't happen. No, I can't remember

262
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:21.880
one. Seriously, maybe Udoka at
the very end, but not not right

263
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:25.400
out of his shoot. So Hunter
Dickinson is averaging nineteen point two points per

264
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:30.079
game. That is third among any
player that's labeled a fresh a forward or

265
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:33.799
a center that plays for a power
five team. So third among big guys

266
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:38.039
in Power five leagues Power six.
Really in scoring, he's the nation's leading

267
00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:42.279
rebounder. That's every player in D
one basketball, twelve point seven rebounds a

268
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:47.039
game. No one has more than
Hunter Dickinson, shooting sixty two percent from

269
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:49.799
the floor, north of seventy percent
at the line, throw out a couple

270
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:52.599
of assists per game. Oh and
by the way, the stat that I

271
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.680
always hammer. Let's see how much
you've been listening to the last shows.

272
00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.480
What is my favorite Hunter Dickinson attribute? I talk about it every game.

273
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:04.720
One of the best parts of his
game is how he doesn't what he doesn't

274
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:10.279
foul. I don't think correct,
correct, He doesn't foul thirty two minutes

275
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:14.039
a game last year, less than
two fouls a game, thirty two minutes

276
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:17.440
a game this year, one point
five fouls per game. You can keep

277
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:21.400
him on the floor for that much. Thirty eight minutes thirty five last time,

278
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:26.480
thirty eight against Yukon. Don't take
that for granted. The reason that

279
00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:30.400
you don't remember a guy having fifteen
and fifteen has just penciled and every night

280
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:36.480
is because guys can't stay on the
floor, especially big guys, without fouling.

281
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:40.599
Enough to get that sort of minutes
needed to get that production. Hunter

282
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:45.359
Dickinson avoids foul trouble and it's his
best attribute. But according to a couple

283
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:51.279
of KU fans and the mentions,
he's soft. Somebody helped me with Okay,

284
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:56.480
so yesterday. KU fans are great. They're passionate, they're knowledged,

285
00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:00.359
they are they love their team,
and that's sports are all about. But

286
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:03.960
yesterday was one of the worst Twitter
days I've ever seen from KU fans.

287
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:08.119
As the Jayhawks are trailing by a
couple of possessions on the road in a

288
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:14.279
brutal environment. The Twitter mentions and
the Twitter timeline, you would think we're

289
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:18.680
watching the Oak Hill Christian College team
that lost to North Dakota State by one

290
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:26.559
hundred the other day. Hunter Dickinson
is soft, Dwan Harris sucks. This

291
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:33.839
offense is awful to watch. First
round loss, second round loss. Bill

292
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.119
self is stubborn. Well, you
know what, I guess. I guess

293
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:41.400
I'll give them that one. There
was a lot of fake news on the

294
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:45.519
timeline, but I will give them
that. Coach Bill South the stubborn ass.

295
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.759
But oh my gosh, people,
what the hell do you want?

296
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:55.559
The team's ten to one. They
are the nation's best field goal percentage team.

297
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.160
No teams out there have a better
field goal percentage than Kansas. And

298
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:04.640
you complain about how the offense is
hard to watch. The defense hasn't given

299
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:11.000
up more than seventy five points more
than twice this year, right, Marquette

300
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:14.839
and Kentucky, and they won the
Kentucky game. No, they gave up

301
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.759
seventy three to Marquette. They've given
up more than seventy five once. And

302
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:25.079
you talk about that defense not being
able to guard anybody. Dwan Harris wins

303
00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:29.240
a national championship and it's, oh, he sucks, he doesn't have what

304
00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:33.880
it takes. Hunter Dickinson averages twenty
one and twelve or whatever it is.

305
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:41.599
He sucks, he's soft. What
do you want? What do you want

306
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:45.000
from these guys? They're eighteen to
twenty two year old that go out there

307
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:49.759
and win eighty five percent of their
games. How can you complain about this?

308
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:53.880
And everyone I figured out what they
want. They want perfection, that's

309
00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:59.400
right, Yeah, well darn klose
they're ten and one almost. No,

310
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:02.319
they want little them to never do
anything wrong ever. They want them to

311
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:07.640
play perfect basketball, perfectly until perfection
happens. Well, on the point that

312
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:11.599
you mentioned, Hunter Dickinson didn't have
the best defensive game. Does he suck

313
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:17.200
on defense? No, because the
guy he's guarding is trying every minut as

314
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:22.079
hard as he has to put the
ball in the basket. Kael where averages

315
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:26.680
sixteen to ten. He's seven feet
tall. He's pretty good. You could

316
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:29.480
throw a lot of guys at him
and he's going to get some points and

317
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:33.440
rebounds. I just don't understand.
I had people turn that I posted the

318
00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:37.440
Hunter Dickinson doesn't foul and that's a
great part of his game, and people

319
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:41.480
were replying saying, I wish he
would because that's because he's soft. He

320
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:47.519
doesn't get physical enough on defense.
Like, okay, fine that somebody said

321
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:49.119
I'd like him to foul a couple
more times a game. I trade that,

322
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:53.599
Okay. Then guess what happens next
when Hunter Dickinson listens to at Joe

323
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:59.000
John Doe on Twitter and goes out
and puts his hands on people and gets

324
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:02.759
two fouls in the first and then
Kansas falls behind because he's on the bench

325
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:06.119
and can't play. There you go, yes, you can't have it all.

326
00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:10.400
It's just like Kau fans are great. They're great, and we're reaction

327
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:12.000
areya as hell right? They lose
a couple games, we get on here,

328
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:17.000
and I mean, geez, this
drop exists. Damn. I guess

329
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:19.519
the best about the best coach out
there. But oh my gosh, it's

330
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:23.640
like you forget who you're watching.
Every game is the same. Kansas comes

331
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:27.119
out kind of flat, they screw
around a little bit, and then most

332
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:30.559
of the time when the final horn
sounds, Bill self is high fiving his

333
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.559
assistance. That's what happens. I
just don't know what else you want.

334
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:37.680
I don't know how many more titles
they have to win, or how many

335
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:41.240
more road games they have to win, or what they have to do to

336
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:44.319
get you guys to just trust when
they're down by six, hey, you

337
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:48.359
know what, they might they still
probably will win. They do most times.

338
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:51.640
I don't get it. Help me, help me understand this, because

339
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:56.000
I see Cheese fans doing this too. They're just so used to winning that

340
00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:00.480
it's it's almost like only winning by
a few isn't good enough. Yeah,

341
00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:06.039
that is what it feels like.
It's a very weird thing. I think

342
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:12.079
it is a winning entitlement thing that
happens I think in some more extreme examples.

343
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:15.319
Maybe I definitely don't think this is
everybody, but I do think this

344
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.000
happens. Some people make this too
much their identity. Nick and I have

345
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:22.880
talked about that a few times.
But yeah, I mean it's really fun

346
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:26.759
and I think even good to care
about sports and things like this. I

347
00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:29.559
mean, I'm the guy that's done
O kau basketball podcast for six years.

348
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:33.279
Like clearly, I'm totally down with
that. But I do think there's some

349
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:38.599
people that get too invested and therefore
their day is either made or ruined by

350
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:44.960
whether Hunter Dickinson plays good pick and
roll defense or not, which is weird.

351
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.319
Yeah, it's definitely a strange kind
of phenomenon. It's one of those

352
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.400
things that if you like time travel
back to like sixteen forty, I think

353
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.480
some people would be deemed mentally ill
because of how much they care or yell

354
00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:00.599
about a basketball team. But I
mean, I get it. It is

355
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:04.799
frustrating. I used to be like
that, and then I decided not to

356
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:08.279
care quite that much anymore because it
was bad for me at a certain point.

357
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:11.839
I wish most people would come to
that realization. But that's okay.

358
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:14.359
We're all on different paths. It's
all right, it's fun to care.

359
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:15.839
I'll definitely give you that, but
yeah, it's a weird thing. I

360
00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:18.440
agree with you, Ryan. I
don't know how many times they have to

361
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:22.960
see Kansas be down, but then
oh wait, oh, they want anyway

362
00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:29.039
to believe that that might happen again, actually might happen yain the next time,

363
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:30.640
even when it's you know, it's
happened a hundred times, there's no

364
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:34.519
reason to believe that it won't happen
one hundred and first. It is very

365
00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:41.079
strange. This was a response,
and this is a response on Twitter.

366
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.119
I posted Hunter Dickinson is the best
love how much he enjoys pissing off road

367
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:51.160
crowds. He does not give any
dams and the response this is a response

368
00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:55.960
that I received here. Dickinson is
soft, not a rim protector, can't

369
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:59.480
finish around the rim, poor footwork
in the post. Not a great pastor

370
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:03.799
re bounds come flat footed. Needs
to be better. Dude, what what

371
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:07.960
what? Also, rock Chalk Blog
gets criticized for not agreeing with Bill self

372
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:11.240
by people on Twitter a lot.
Bill Self said, Hunter Dickinson is the

373
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:15.119
best passing big he's ever had,
by the way, which I think is

374
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:19.319
like, just like observably true,
can't finish strong around the rim? What

375
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:23.000
are we watching the same guy?
Oh, he doesn't finish at the rim?

376
00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:26.880
True, I don't think he finishes. Well, that's a different thing.

377
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:30.160
It You can take it or leave
it, and I will take hundred

378
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:34.880
Diggins that footed rebounds are that's absurd. Who cares when he's bringing down sixteen

379
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:37.720
of the things a game? There
you go and somebody else says, I

380
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:41.599
don't like it, just focus on
the game. Well Andrew Wiggins did that.

381
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:45.920
And you know what people said about
Andrew Wiggins. I wish he'd show

382
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:48.599
some emotion. He doesn't look like
he cares out there. He's wearing a

383
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.359
Kansas jersey. He's supposed to be
prideful. What do you want? You

384
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.720
have guys like Hunter Dickinson and Christian
Brown who go out there that are clearly

385
00:25:56.839 --> 00:25:59.880
so into it and so happy to
wear that jersey that yeah, they a

386
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.160
little over the top, And oh
that's that's not We don't want that.

387
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:07.039
We just want guys to focus and
be classy. Well Andrew Wiggins didn't didn't

388
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:10.400
hurt a fly his entire time here, and he didn't care enough. I

389
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:14.759
just I've dealt with this every year
when Kansas loses a couple of games and

390
00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:18.400
I post on Twitter with eight games
left and they're one game behind Oklahoma State,

391
00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:22.079
Who yeah, let's trust that,
And I say, I bet you.

392
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:25.599
Kansas still wins the Big Twelve,
and I get one hundred responses of

393
00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:30.599
of five alarm fire level panics saying
Nope, absolutely not. We'll be lucky

394
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:33.960
to make the tournament, will be
an eight seed. Like I really don't

395
00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:37.960
know, Like like people on Twitter
were saying this team shouldn't be ranked.

396
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:44.640
People were saying they're overrated for losing, But at the time, halfway through

397
00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:48.000
a game, losing by eight on
the road at India, I don't get

398
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:52.079
it. And I don't understand how
that's a fun way to root for sports.

399
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:56.920
That it's a good way to have
your heart combust whenever you're a the

400
00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:02.200
all caps response you know who I'm
talking about, Like, I don't understand

401
00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:06.960
how that can be anybody's choice of
fandom. And because just where it's like

402
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:11.079
you gotta just let go a little
bit, Like you gotta just realize that

403
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:15.960
this is just college basketball, Like
there's so much more going on in the

404
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:21.440
world that's so much more important than
this. It's like, it's just for

405
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:25.680
fun. At the end of the
day. This is just communal entertainment.

406
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:29.880
Not that there's no value, but
you gotta just recognize it for what it

407
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:33.680
is. And when you do that, it'll be so much more fun because

408
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:37.519
every game is just fun for the
sake that it's happening. That's the fun

409
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:41.079
is that we just get to enjoy
this twice a week and it's great.

410
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:44.920
And if they win, yeah,
that's even better. If they lose,

411
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:47.400
yeah, I might be a little
bit annoyed that they've lost, depending on

412
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:49.039
how it happens, but like,
you know what, even if they lost,

413
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:53.440
I got to sit and I have
the privilege to watch Kansas basketball for

414
00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:57.599
two hours every few days. And
that's what's fun about it. Yep,

415
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:02.039
it's well said. Something else you
have the privilege to watch her are the

416
00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:07.720
refs, which I didn't win this
particular case, because they are a rot

417
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:12.519
that's true. That's fair. By
the way, you can type in all

418
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:17.519
caps and call the refs soft and
overrated because they suck giant balls. They

419
00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:21.519
are a stinky bag of rotting trash
that's been sitting in a dumpster forever.

420
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:26.640
And you know what when the Barstool
Indiana page says we got host and the

421
00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:30.960
Barstool Kansas page says we got hosts, that's how you know. The refs

422
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:33.480
gave each other a high five in
the locker room after the game because they

423
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:38.279
screwed. Nobody wins, nobody loses. No, I take that back,

424
00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:44.440
nobody wins and everybody loses with these
officials. God are they awful? Awful,

425
00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:48.359
awful awful. Indiana got screwed on
the biggest call of the game that

426
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:52.720
ball didn't go out of bounce and
like they called it at a bounce there

427
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:56.599
where they were fighting for possession on
the misfree throw. But boy, there

428
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:00.640
were too many fouls in this game. They were guessing so much. Hunter

429
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:04.920
Dickinson is getting bottled up inside because
you surround him with guys who aren't very

430
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:07.640
good at shooting, and Indiana was
just like, Hey, we're just gonna

431
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:12.039
let them, or let's let's live
with al Margo Jackson shooting threes instead of

432
00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:15.640
letting Hunter get two footers on on
a one on one guy feels like the

433
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:19.119
smart strategy. But man, these
big guys can't buy a call. That

434
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:22.839
was awful all the way through.
Kevin mcculler's third foul was one of the

435
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:26.160
five worst calls I've ever seen in
my life. And then they had a

436
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:32.240
back to back sequence where Dickinson they
didn't allow a play on They said nope,

437
00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:34.839
foul before Dickinson shot that. And
then on the other end it may

438
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:40.960
have been Mackenzie and Baco who like
was fouled and then took three whole steps

439
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:45.079
after that before laying it in and
the rest like and one. I can't

440
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:48.160
figure anything they do or call out, but I will give them this.

441
00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:51.480
The charges have been better. We
haven't seen as many of those. That's

442
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:53.440
true. Actually I haven't really noticed
that, which means three of them are

443
00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:57.200
gonna happen against Yale. Yeah,
yeah, no, they're just they're just

444
00:29:59.079 --> 00:30:02.559
asking it up within other ways.
Don't worry. Okay, Well, let's

445
00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:11.640
let's talk about other things that made
us screen Bloody Murder, Because Landon,

446
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:14.599
had you been on the last podcast, I feel like you would have known

447
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:18.559
this was gonna happen or help us
predict it, because we all knew this

448
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:22.680
was gonna happen. With mister Trey
Galloway, who hails from Culver, Indiana,

449
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:27.720
and looks out every bit like it, because that man averaging eight points

450
00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:32.680
the game, went out there and
put in twenty eight and after making three

451
00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:36.160
three, he's in the first ten
games. What else is there to do

452
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:41.359
then to make two of them in
this game? But but, but,

453
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:45.880
but but I feel like I'm hyper
on today's show, the very last one

454
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:56.839
for the high could he make it? The widest guy in Indiana? I

455
00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:02.920
can't believe it was miss yeah,
but he did a career high twenty eight

456
00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:06.400
points. He entered three for twenty
two from three and then went two for

457
00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:10.000
three. Indiana was like five for
nine at one point, and it was

458
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:14.680
just maniacally laughing in my house trying
to imagine how that happened. Whenever.

459
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:18.880
That was an all time kind of
white guy outing yeah, twenty eight,

460
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:22.160
twenty eight points. But he missed
the big one. He missed the one

461
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:25.319
that mattered most. All Right,
we are falling behind on time here,

462
00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:27.519
so let's start to go faster.
Here. Go ahead and tell me about

463
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:32.920
kJ Adams, who was once again
very good. Fourteen points, four events,

464
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:36.559
three assists for kJ six for twelve
from the floor in thirty six minutes.

465
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:40.079
He was a huge reason why they
didn't get blown out in the first

466
00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:44.240
half and then some I don't know
if there's too much really to analyze here

467
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:48.920
other than like his strength and athleticism
just continues to be an invaluable tool for

468
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:52.880
Kansas. He's been fantastic and he's
taken a leap forward even from last year

469
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:56.599
in a lot of ways. I
think, yeah, and it's real valuable

470
00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:00.200
because Bill self was watching Hunter Dickinson
just get bottled up in the post and

471
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:04.759
it feels like we start the game
doing that and then sell us like,

472
00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:06.880
Okay, so you want to put
two guys on him, I'm just going

473
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:08.759
to drag him out by the perimeter
and it's going to free up wide open

474
00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:12.559
lanes for kJ. You can't do
that the other way, which would be

475
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:15.240
ideal, right if you had a
kJ type player who could shoot mid range

476
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:19.119
stuff, because then Hunter couldn't be
left one on one in the paint.

477
00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:22.160
But he's doing the next best thing, and kj's pretty darn good at finishing

478
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:25.119
at the rim himself, So yes, this was excellent kJ. I think

479
00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:28.759
we were right at the beginning of
the year about them having a big three.

480
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:32.680
They probably have a big four,
but for now kJ is is their

481
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:36.640
third best player. I think at
this point he's been great. I agree.

482
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:40.160
Let's talk about three point shooting,
because they were six for eighteen in

483
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:43.880
this game shooting threes. It felt
worse than that. They made some big

484
00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:46.960
ones down the stretch. It feels
like this team's not very good shooting threes.

485
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:51.160
That seems to be the twinter sentiment. And they've seen from the eye

486
00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:53.440
test pretty okay this year. They
had two good games to start, but

487
00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:58.319
on the season, Kansas is thirty
eight percent three point mark, is top

488
00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:01.279
fifty in the country. Does it
feel like it. It does not feel

489
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:07.160
like it. They are percentage wise
okay, and they've definitely made some clutch

490
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:13.960
ones. They've made some big shots, but they are outside the top two

491
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:16.400
fifty and threes made per game,
which is less than seven and they are

492
00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:22.839
bottom twenty five nationally and three pointers
attempted per game. Now they are number

493
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:25.559
one. Are they were? It's
gone down a little bit. Their top

494
00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:29.880
five in field goal percentage and two
point percentage. So they're getting a lot

495
00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:32.160
of twos. It's Bill Self's stream, right, but they're not taking a

496
00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:35.680
lot of threes, but they're making
a decent percentage of the ones. They're

497
00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:39.119
shooting, so that begs the question
forty seventh in percentage, three hundred and

498
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:43.640
thirtieth in attempts, should they take
more? Uh? Yeah, I think

499
00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:46.160
so. I think they definitely should
take more. A reason why they might

500
00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:50.480
not, though, is Nick Timberlay. Oh God, you missed two more

501
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:58.720
missed a free throw in six really
unfortunate minutes of basketball. I was higher

502
00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:02.640
on timberlake potential than you were coming
into the season, Ryan, Yeah,

503
00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:07.359
and I jumped off it a lot
faster than you did, I think.

504
00:34:07.840 --> 00:34:10.880
But I think he's really bad and
I don't think he should get a lot

505
00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:15.639
more chances. I think he's heading
straight for averaging about three minutes a night

506
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:21.440
in conference play. You know what
interests me is it's not just Timberlake,

507
00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:25.039
who I think is the biggest disappointment
of any of these guys. But Kansas

508
00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:31.559
has been great at landing high major
players in a transfer portal. Dickinson with

509
00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:42.119
the mccullor Remy Martin great acquisitions,
but they've been really bad at evaluating which

510
00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:45.960
talent on mid majors to bring in. Because Tyan Grant Foster was a JUCO

511
00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:51.199
transfer and they were high on that
that didn't work. Guys like Joe Yesafu

512
00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:54.480
that was considered to be a big
piece for them coming from Drake and he

513
00:34:54.559 --> 00:35:00.079
never materialized. And Nick Timberlake is
one that came from and he looked like

514
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:04.239
a player. I still do have
a little more confidence than you, because,

515
00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:07.480
like Geez, you watch his highlight
tape of what he did at college

516
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:09.519
and he's a he's a good player
in these clips. I don't get it.

517
00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:14.039
I kind of think that eventually he
may become something for you. But

518
00:35:14.039 --> 00:35:17.960
but he's They've been kind of disappointing
bringing in players from mid major teams and

519
00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:22.519
Timberlake's just been awful. Like he's
been awful this year. This is a

520
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:27.559
guy that shot forty pc from three
in back to back seasons that has come

521
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:32.000
to Kansas and since going three for
five the first game is four for twenty

522
00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:36.639
one. Since in the last ten
games he's shooting twenty six percent on threes.

523
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:39.119
Yeah, he's so you think this
is that this ship has sailed.

524
00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:45.239
He's not gonna play very much in
conference play. I doubt it. I'd

525
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:46.360
be surprised. I just don't know
how you can. I mean, they've

526
00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:52.280
Bill self is barely playing him against
like mid majors and stuff offous. The

527
00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:54.920
Indiana's a lot better than that,
But like Johnny Furfey and Almarco Jackson have

528
00:35:55.000 --> 00:36:00.079
been actively getting more minutes in the
rotation, and even r McDowell had more

529
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:04.599
minutes and more run in this game. Yeah, but it takes forever for

530
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:07.639
self to stop letting Timberlake run around
like an idiot out there before he tries

531
00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:12.639
McDowell. I don't understand why McDowell's
not coming off the bench way sooner than

532
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:15.760
he is, just kind of going
through those guys. El Marco Jackson twenty

533
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:17.800
five minutes, scored five points on
six shots. He hit a big three,

534
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:22.199
played pretty good defense, but just
not contributing much on offense at this

535
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:25.000
point. Only seven minutes for Johnny
Furfey, who didn't do much, and

536
00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:29.400
then there was Jamary McDowell who didn't
get run until the other guys had already

537
00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:32.199
gotten multiple attempts. But McDowell was
really good. He made a huge three

538
00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:36.159
during their main run in the second
half to finish with three points in eight

539
00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:39.639
minutes, had a really nice rebound
that secured a possession in which they ultimately

540
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:45.840
went ahead. Like McDowell is better
than Timberlake. It's inarguable the only thing

541
00:36:45.880 --> 00:36:49.679
I can think of is self thinks
that Timberlake is the better long term piece

542
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:52.320
for this team's success. But man, I don't know how much. I

543
00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:55.079
don't know how much you can keep
doing this. McDowell's got to play more.

544
00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:59.599
He's got to play earlier too.
Yeah, I think he does.

545
00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:06.320
It's been weird because I understand like
McDowell hasn't been doing a lot of flashy

546
00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:10.360
stuff, which is fair, but
he's also been just consistently pretty solid.

547
00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:15.599
And I'm not sure why Bill self
has just kind of stopped giving him run

548
00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:21.800
early in games like at all,
because he's a very selfie player. Yeah,

549
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:24.159
you think Bill self would like kind
of that nose of the grindstone,

550
00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:28.440
just do the little things well.
And to be fair, he was kind

551
00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:32.280
of lost on a few defensive possessions
like that is a thing that's noticeable.

552
00:37:34.719 --> 00:37:37.199
You'd still think you'd give him a
shot. And I don't know why he's

553
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:38.679
been getting less of one. He
got more of one than he had the

554
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:42.480
last couple of games in Indiana,
and he made the most of it.

555
00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:45.639
Again, he played pretty well,
So I don't know exactly what's going on

556
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:50.119
there well, and then Parker Brown
made a basket in two minutes. He

557
00:37:50.159 --> 00:37:53.559
doesn't play much. That's Hunter Dickinson's
fault. Parker has been perfectly fine this

558
00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:58.199
year. He just isn't going to
play very much considering what he's dealing with.

559
00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:00.480
And anyone on Twitter who's telling me
that part should play more and Dickinson

560
00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:05.280
should play less, stop please.
I can't. I can't. I seriously

561
00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:08.320
will well off myself. I can't. I can't do it. The only

562
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:12.679
guy we haven't talked about is the
one Harris, who is probably Kaye's most

563
00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:15.199
polarizing player. Twelve points, five
assists, forty minutes played, did not

564
00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:19.880
sit on the bench at any point. He was five for nine from the

565
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:24.280
floor, including a huge three and
go ahead floater in the final five minutes.

566
00:38:24.679 --> 00:38:28.239
Kansas wins yet another game. I
don't have the record. I know

567
00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:31.880
it's a lot and one. Whenever
he scores ten points or more, there

568
00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:37.119
was stuff you could critique. There's
also stuff that I'm sure that you're very

569
00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:42.320
grateful that he's Kansas's point guard.
But overall, this was the first time

570
00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:45.719
since the Kentucky game that to one
Harris scored more than eight points. And

571
00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:50.280
they needed just about all of them
to escape Bloomington with a win. Yeah,

572
00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:53.320
he was, he was still pretty
good. It's been kind of a

573
00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:59.280
weird year for Harris. Does feel
like he is. It felt like at

574
00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:01.360
times maybe you could argue he was
regressing, But then again, I think

575
00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:07.559
his his passing and his defense has
still been really good. Just a strange

576
00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:09.840
year, but a very good game
here for Harris. I think I do

577
00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:16.320
think you're going to need Dwan Harris
to score tena Knight if you really want

578
00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:20.800
to get the most out of this
Kansas team. He's got to score ten

579
00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:23.159
and Knight. Well, I mean, he's been worse than he was last

580
00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:27.159
year. That's inarguable. He hasn't
been as good. But is it fair

581
00:39:27.199 --> 00:39:30.800
to say he's regressed or is that
you're saying. If you're saying he's been

582
00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:35.920
worse than he was last year,
that I think is inherently some level of

583
00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:38.920
regression. But I also wonder if
it's just kind of getting the feel of

584
00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:44.119
this team. It's different, right, last year's team was throw the ball

585
00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:47.159
to Jalen and Grady and get out
of their way. This year's team isn't

586
00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:51.639
that simple. You have Hunter and
he has great chemistry with Hunter Dickinson.

587
00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:57.360
Those two do ridiculous hookup for some
ridiculous passes, but everybody else, like

588
00:39:57.440 --> 00:40:00.920
you watch him past the guys like
Jackson and and he just kind of like

589
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:06.320
it's kind of like Patrick Mahomes throwing
his receivers a little bit where whenever a

590
00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:09.719
miscommunication happens. A great example is
when Dewan Harris was dinged with a turnover

591
00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:14.599
for throwing the ball to al Marco
who moved out of the way because he

592
00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:16.880
thought that it was tipped. And
it's like it was one of those moments

593
00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:20.079
where Harris is looking at him like
what are you doing? Like, no,

594
00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:22.400
you gotta do this. I have
a hard time blaming Harris for stuff

595
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:27.199
like that when he's playing with guys
that just aren't used to this sort of

596
00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:30.960
system. And I think that his
stats have taken a direct hit from basically

597
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:36.360
anybody not named Kevin or Hunter that
aren't converting a lot of the assists that

598
00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:38.719
he's shooting. His should have higher
assist numbers, and he's not being set

599
00:40:38.760 --> 00:40:42.639
up by these guys for as many
open looks as he should be. They

600
00:40:42.679 --> 00:40:45.039
finally found him a few times as
the game went on, but still overall,

601
00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:50.800
I don't know. With me,
Harris feels like a guy who's kind

602
00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:53.280
of a product of the guys around
him, other than two of them not

603
00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:59.119
being as good as we thought they'd
be. I think that's like a fair

604
00:40:59.239 --> 00:41:02.320
argument, but I mean, Harris, I feel like has been arguably even

605
00:41:02.440 --> 00:41:07.320
more tentative to shoot at times,
and he's also been worse shooting inside than

606
00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:10.800
he's ever been, which is a
weird thing to happen in your like fourth

607
00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:17.719
year in college. That's also fair, like he has he's not shooting quite

608
00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:22.320
as much like everybody. Everybody talks
about how the reason that he's such a

609
00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:25.480
high percentage three point shooters because he
doesn't take very many of them, and

610
00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:29.719
I think that they're both right and
wrong. He only takes open ones.

611
00:41:29.760 --> 00:41:32.159
I can't remember the last contested three
pointer I saw to one Harris take,

612
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:37.079
but he undoubtedly needs to take more
semi contested once because he's shooting forty six

613
00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:39.239
percent this year. He's taken over
one hundred and eighty three pointers in his

614
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:44.199
career, and he's made forty percent
of them. Like he's he's been.

615
00:41:44.639 --> 00:41:46.719
He's he's too good of a shooter
to not shoot as much to not shoot

616
00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:51.559
more Kansas in this game forty three
percent from the floor, thirty three percent

617
00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:54.119
from three, seventy one percent at
the line. They were minus two on

618
00:41:54.159 --> 00:41:58.599
the glass, which is kind of
surprising when you have Dickinson going for fourteen

619
00:41:58.639 --> 00:42:01.000
and you're still a loser on the
gold Well, that tells you just how

620
00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:07.039
screwed they would be without soft ass
Hunter Dickinson. Am I right, Yeah,

621
00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:13.519
I think you're gonna need that guy, I have. I Hunter Dickinson

622
00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:17.239
and soft. I don't understand how
any of that could go together. Yeah,

623
00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:22.079
it doesn't seem terribly soft. There's
also a distinction that we must have

624
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:28.239
between uh is a little out of
position sometimes on defense and soft. Those

625
00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:31.320
are two entirely different things. Yeah, I don't think. And it also

626
00:42:31.440 --> 00:42:37.320
is weird that the same people that
are criticizing Hunter Dickinson for talking trash and

627
00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:42.599
being completely unintimidated by road environments are
the same ones that call him soft on

628
00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:46.360
the court. I don't get how
that can be the case either. Yeah,

629
00:42:46.360 --> 00:42:51.599
that doesn't make the most sense to
me. That does not seem like

630
00:42:51.639 --> 00:42:55.519
a soft trait whatsoever. But yeah, they just like to say that because

631
00:42:55.519 --> 00:42:59.239
that's what Bill self says. So
that's just what everyone says, but they

632
00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:01.559
don't know what they're talking about.
Frankly, and you know what, Bill

633
00:43:01.639 --> 00:43:07.760
self has never called Hunter Digginson,
not once, saw soft, not once,

634
00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:13.519
and he never will because Hunter Dickinson
is not soft. But we're kind

635
00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:19.719
of soft at least your recovery.
Definitely, Bill would. I would run

636
00:43:19.800 --> 00:43:22.559
the other direction. I wouldn't be
I wouldn't get I wouldn't be on the

637
00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:27.039
court long enough to be called soft. I would just melt. Yeah,

638
00:43:27.079 --> 00:43:30.039
I think that's about what would happen. I would run half of one suicide

639
00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:35.199
and leave. So Nick thinks that
the five of us, which are the

640
00:43:35.280 --> 00:43:37.280
three of us plus Josh and Daniel, who are our former co hosts.

641
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:40.880
He thinks that the five of us
in forty minutes would score five points against

642
00:43:40.920 --> 00:43:45.360
Kansas. No, we would not. We would score zero though. Yeah,

643
00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:50.280
that's much more likely. I'm willing
to say we wouldn't hit the rim.

644
00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:53.000
Really, I don't know how we're
getting a shot off. It depends

645
00:43:53.039 --> 00:43:59.159
on how intense defense they're playing.
North Dakota State, who's like the two

646
00:43:59.239 --> 00:44:04.679
hundred best team in D one basketball, played a college a college basketball team

647
00:44:04.719 --> 00:44:07.079
I don't care that they look terrible, and I don't care that they look

648
00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:09.880
like they're in middle school. A
college team and held them to fourteen.

649
00:44:10.639 --> 00:44:15.960
And you think any of us are
scoring anything on Kansas, Come on,

650
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:19.239
Nick, if they decide to play
real defense against us, we are not

651
00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:22.679
scoring anything. I don't think we're
getting a shot off. I really don't.

652
00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:25.960
I think everything's blocked. I don't
think we're getting a shot above their

653
00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:31.039
heads. Probably not, probably not. And even the guys that maybe we

654
00:44:31.079 --> 00:44:34.920
could, like Dwan Harris, the
ball is gonna be out of our hands

655
00:44:34.920 --> 00:44:37.440
because he stole it from us.
Yes, yes, Nick, I know

656
00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:40.239
that you can make some threes in
your driveway. I've seen the videos.

657
00:44:40.519 --> 00:44:44.800
You're not scoring five points on this
Kansas team. It will not happen.

658
00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:47.199
We're not scoring five on any college
team. Maybe that one, I guess,

659
00:44:47.239 --> 00:44:50.920
because that one was really the oak
Kill team. Maybe that one.

660
00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:54.960
But yeah, I'd take okill,
I'd try okill. We would get.

661
00:44:55.360 --> 00:44:59.880
We would They would be on the
other end of what they just received if

662
00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:01.800
he played oak Hill. All right, let's talk about all the other games

663
00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:09.280
in college basketball, because there are
plenty of losers to talk about. Big

664
00:45:09.519 --> 00:45:14.320
twelve games. It was all other
games. But now we're kind of getting

665
00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:15.800
to the point where we have enough
big twelve games where we can sort them

666
00:45:16.119 --> 00:45:22.880
into that and other games. So
let's start with conference action and landon a

667
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:24.039
game you got right. So I
figure, I should you know, you're

668
00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:27.880
already a bunch down and pick them, But I guess I'll let you have

669
00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:30.239
your time in the sun with this
one, because well, you got it

670
00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:32.280
right. I'm not sure you thought
it'd be like this, No, I

671
00:45:32.320 --> 00:45:39.679
did not. Michigan State obliterates number
six Baylor eighty eight sixty four, ending

672
00:45:39.719 --> 00:45:45.559
the bears undefeated start to the season
at nine to zero. It was forty

673
00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:50.199
five to seventeen at the break.
Tyson Walker scored twenty five, helped the

674
00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:53.760
Spartan shoot sixty three percent from the
floor while Baylor turned it over twenty one

675
00:45:53.840 --> 00:46:00.559
times. Just a game that was
never ever close. That's why, Yeah,

676
00:46:00.559 --> 00:46:02.400
I thought Michigan State. I did
pick them to win. That felt

677
00:46:02.400 --> 00:46:07.440
like an upset pick that I liked. I did not anticipate a twenty four

678
00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:12.599
point drubbing for Michigan State. Not
a great look for Baylor, considering that

679
00:46:13.119 --> 00:46:17.519
their schedule was better than Houston's but
it wasn't exactly loaded. Like they beat

680
00:46:17.559 --> 00:46:22.119
Auburn, who's been pretty good this
year, had a nice comeback there,

681
00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:24.639
and they beat Florida. But other
than that, a whole lot of like

682
00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:30.239
Nicols and Northwestern States and Gardner Webbs
on this schedule, including Division two John

683
00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:34.639
Brown. But it's like, so
they finally got their chance at a good

684
00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:37.639
opponent and they just completely got annihilated, as you said. Next up for

685
00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:42.320
the Bears, they get another blue
blood opponent. They will play Duke at

686
00:46:42.400 --> 00:46:45.599
Madison Square Garden here on Wednesday night. I think that that's a really important

687
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:49.599
game for them because if they drop
that one and they are zero and two

688
00:46:49.679 --> 00:46:52.840
in the most difficult two games,
you know, is that the team that

689
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:58.320
you're predicting to beat the jayhawkson and
their run as Conference King. I definitely

690
00:46:58.320 --> 00:47:01.440
don't think so Bears have great defense. Their defense kind of looks like it

691
00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:06.639
normally his just not great. Okay, Well that was Baylor. Now number

692
00:47:06.639 --> 00:47:10.599
four Houston. They survive Wade Taylor
the fourth who scored thirty two in this

693
00:47:10.679 --> 00:47:15.360
game, and Texas A and M
seventy to sixty six to win their toughest

694
00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:19.880
matchup of the season thus far up
to with four seconds left, eighty eight

695
00:47:19.960 --> 00:47:24.280
percent free throw shooter Henry Coleman missed
both to sink the Aggies would have taken

696
00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:29.119
its overtime. Houston is eleven to
zero, but they did lose six man

697
00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:36.639
Terrence geez are our sinuax something like
that are sinuants for Arsenal. Okay,

698
00:47:36.639 --> 00:47:39.679
there you go for the season too. A torn achilles a big loss for

699
00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:45.239
the Cougars. But still they're good. They have a good defense. They're

700
00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:46.480
number one and ken palm and number
one on the net. But it's like

701
00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:52.199
I seen this, seen this before. Let's get back to me. After

702
00:47:52.280 --> 00:48:00.880
six big twelve games K State,
they lost it home to nebraskt Ball sixty

703
00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:02.960
six. They lost and didn't even
have the dignated to hit fifty. They

704
00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:09.199
scored twelve points in the second half, holy sixteen of sixty from the floor.

705
00:48:09.239 --> 00:48:14.840
Overall, that's twenty seven percent,
and that is also bad. The

706
00:48:14.840 --> 00:48:19.880
Wildcats are eight and three. That's
three and oh in overtime though, so

707
00:48:20.119 --> 00:48:24.960
a little bit of luck for sure
mixed in the bit. As your opinion

708
00:48:25.039 --> 00:48:29.440
changed on k State at all,
Ryan, I think I said they'd be

709
00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:31.800
the seventh best team in the Big
Twelve coming into the season, and teams

710
00:48:31.800 --> 00:48:37.440
like Oklahoma and BYU have been better
to the point where would it be surprising

711
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:40.079
if they finished like ninth. No. I still think that they're gonna finish

712
00:48:40.119 --> 00:48:43.920
better than teams in that tier because
I think they have a better home field

713
00:48:43.960 --> 00:48:47.320
advantage. But it didn't do anything
for them against the fighting Hoybergs. Yeah,

714
00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:52.480
just a nightmare showing. And Jerome
Tang. So I like Jerome Tang.

715
00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:55.559
He's a good coach and a good
man. He was great last year,

716
00:48:55.880 --> 00:49:00.880
but this year hmm. I'm not
calling him a one hit wonder or

717
00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:06.119
anything, but they've been a disaster
this year between all the Nakwon Tomlin stuff

718
00:49:06.159 --> 00:49:10.559
and how nobody at the university administration
level was on the same page to being

719
00:49:10.599 --> 00:49:15.039
eight and three. They've had all
this stuff all week about what rap songs

720
00:49:15.039 --> 00:49:17.800
should they listen to in the pregame
locker room. That was a big thing,

721
00:49:19.039 --> 00:49:22.039
and then they get embarrassed by Nebraska
at home. Like feels like a

722
00:49:22.119 --> 00:49:25.519
sort of thing that's just not going
too well behind the scenes. Maybe maybe

723
00:49:25.559 --> 00:49:29.960
it is. Maybe it's just a
loss, and sometimes losses happen. But

724
00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:35.079
Yike's case State. Usually teams that
are in a really good spot don't lose

725
00:49:35.079 --> 00:49:39.000
by sixteen to nebrasketball. That's really
bad. Yeah, that's that is a

726
00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:42.880
pretty bad look. I don't know. This team's also I think decently less

727
00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:45.760
talented than last year as well,
which isn't helping. That's true, Yeah,

728
00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:50.800
I mean they lost two NBA players. The only undefeated teams left in

729
00:49:50.840 --> 00:49:55.239
this conference Oklahoma and Houston. Both
teams are eleven and zer. The Sooners

730
00:49:55.280 --> 00:50:00.000
are a big surprise. We'll find
out how good they are this week when

731
00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:04.960
they take on the Tar Heels in
Charlotte. But overall, the two undefeated

732
00:50:04.960 --> 00:50:09.960
teams left in this conference. So
you've posted a hypothetical here, but I

733
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:15.280
do think this is fair. If
given the choice between losing his entire family

734
00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:20.199
or scheduling a moderately difficult non con
schedule, how quickly do you think tj

735
00:50:20.239 --> 00:50:27.360
Osselberger would put his wife and kids
on a bus. That was pretty funny

736
00:50:27.400 --> 00:50:29.760
that it was funny when I typed
it. It was funny to hear it

737
00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:32.840
out loud. Iowa State beat Prairie
View A and M and Florida A and

738
00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:38.599
M. Really getting their quotas worth
of the military schools by a combined eighty

739
00:50:38.760 --> 00:50:43.960
nine points. At this point,
it's what we always say, just scrimmage

740
00:50:44.000 --> 00:50:49.320
yourself at this point. Seriously,
Yeah, that doesn't even make any sense

741
00:50:49.360 --> 00:50:52.000
at all. And then lastly,
in the Big Twelve, West Virginia lost

742
00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:58.920
their sixth game to you Mass,
Cincinnati lost to Dayton, TCU rolled Arizona

743
00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:02.920
State, and Texas some of nineteen. Texas rolled LSU while getting Dylan Mitchell

744
00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:07.280
back. The Longhorns look pretty dangerous. So we're about a month and a

745
00:51:07.320 --> 00:51:10.800
half into this season, and if
I asked you who are your prediction what

746
00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:15.119
is your prediction of the top five
Big twelve teams in order? What would

747
00:51:15.159 --> 00:51:25.880
you say? Uh, Kansas,
Baylor, Houston, Texas, TCU.

748
00:51:27.320 --> 00:51:30.320
Yep, I think that's my exact
order that I think that's exactly it.

749
00:51:30.400 --> 00:51:35.679
I still trust Baylor more than Houston. I also could see Houston finishing like

750
00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:38.000
seventh, like I really could.
I think this is going to open their

751
00:51:38.039 --> 00:51:40.960
eyes in this conference. And by
the way, if they do, when

752
00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:45.039
I say seventh, I don't mean
they're gonna win like six games. I

753
00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:49.280
mean like they're going to go eleven
and seven and there's going to be four

754
00:51:49.360 --> 00:51:52.920
teams that tie and beat them in
this in the tie breakers or whatever,

755
00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:58.480
because I have a feeling that anywhere
between like three and ten in this conference

756
00:51:58.480 --> 00:52:02.239
could just be an absolute log jam. We think that West Virginia finishes last

757
00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:07.679
because I still think a team like
Central Florida could could finish last with how

758
00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:12.679
West Virginia is more used to this. Yeah, I honestly still think UCF

759
00:52:12.800 --> 00:52:15.199
might be the pick for last because
I think they might, yeah, just

760
00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:20.000
get run over in a big twelve
state, But West Virginia and Oklahoma State

761
00:52:20.039 --> 00:52:24.000
are gonna give them everything they're worth
for that last place. I think let's

762
00:52:24.039 --> 00:52:32.679
talk about other games and a game
that was on Peacock which is complete and

763
00:52:32.760 --> 00:52:37.920
total booty cheeks, but the game
wasn't all set To take over the number

764
00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:42.239
one ranking once again is currently number
three per Due, who put on an

765
00:52:42.280 --> 00:52:45.559
offensive clinic in their ninety two to
eighty four win over top ranked Arizona.

766
00:52:45.880 --> 00:52:51.039
The boiler Makers got twenty seven points
from Fletcher Lawyer and another twenty six from

767
00:52:51.039 --> 00:52:54.079
Braden Smith, dueling white Guy of
the Game candidates, with the two combining

768
00:52:54.119 --> 00:53:00.519
to make nine threes. Is Perdue
the best team in the country. I

769
00:53:00.679 --> 00:53:07.119
don't know, maybe they should be
number one with their resume. They gotta

770
00:53:07.119 --> 00:53:08.840
win over Marquette, they gotta win
over Tennessee, they gotta win over against

771
00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:13.559
Zaga, they gotta win over Arizona. Like that's a pretty tarrent good set

772
00:53:13.599 --> 00:53:17.360
of pre Christmas wins, it is. I think, yeah, the resume

773
00:53:17.440 --> 00:53:22.559
is very good minus the Northwestern loss. I mean, they're really good and

774
00:53:22.599 --> 00:53:25.800
they have arguably the best player in
the country. I think I posted on

775
00:53:25.840 --> 00:53:30.599
Twitter that their inevitable tournament loss this
year is going to be something that their

776
00:53:30.639 --> 00:53:36.039
poor fans just do not deserve because
we know it's gonna happen. They have

777
00:53:36.119 --> 00:53:39.639
good fans that have never seen them
go to the final four like they are.

778
00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:43.119
They have they made a final four. I know, they've never won

779
00:53:43.159 --> 00:53:47.280
a championship. They have reached two
final fours. Their final four teams were

780
00:53:47.400 --> 00:53:52.679
in let's see here, nineteen sixty
nine and nineteen eighty. They have made

781
00:53:52.679 --> 00:53:58.039
a final four in forty three years. I mean, geez, I hope

782
00:53:58.039 --> 00:54:02.239
they can get there, but like
they keep losing its teams that are seated

783
00:54:02.280 --> 00:54:07.159
way too low. Good luck.
They're great, they look real sexy,

784
00:54:07.239 --> 00:54:10.440
but this isn't the first time they've
looked real sexy in December. Speaking of

785
00:54:10.440 --> 00:54:15.239
a team, we're just waiting to
inflict pain upon us rat Creighton bounce back

786
00:54:15.239 --> 00:54:20.199
from their weird loss to UNLV by
taking down Alabama eighty five to eighty two.

787
00:54:20.800 --> 00:54:24.920
Ryan Kulkbrenner leading the way there.
The Tide have lost by one basketing

788
00:54:24.960 --> 00:54:30.719
back to back weekends to produce and
Creighton. Next they play Arizona. Take

789
00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:37.800
notes John Shier and tj Ottslberger scheduled
teams that are good. Daat's getting on

790
00:54:37.880 --> 00:54:42.480
it. He is. That's awesome, and they're gonna have like five non

791
00:54:42.519 --> 00:54:47.119
conference losses. But all they gotta
do is finish like fourth in the SEC,

792
00:54:47.199 --> 00:54:50.840
which I don't know how you can
say they're not going to be in

793
00:54:50.880 --> 00:54:54.159
contention for it considering how well they've
played some of these elite teams. Memphis's

794
00:54:54.199 --> 00:54:58.280
home court advantage was good enough to
take down number thirteen Clemson. It's the

795
00:54:58.320 --> 00:55:00.599
tigers first loss of the year.
Seventy nine seventy seven. Feels like every

796
00:55:00.639 --> 00:55:05.360
year Clemson wins a lot of games
early and then totally disappears by January.

797
00:55:05.639 --> 00:55:10.559
Who is your bet to win the
ACC right now? That's a great question,

798
00:55:10.719 --> 00:55:16.760
and I probably still to say North
Carolina. No, Duke's gonna finish

799
00:55:16.800 --> 00:55:22.519
better than at least they should.
Duke is a better roster than North Carolina.

800
00:55:22.159 --> 00:55:28.440
Like I, it's not Clemson,
it's not Virginia, it's duper UNC,

801
00:55:28.800 --> 00:55:32.840
it's duker UNC. Yeah. Even
though those teams are not blowing anybody

802
00:55:32.920 --> 00:55:37.440
away right now, they are still
the ones that you're betting on. Yes,

803
00:55:39.239 --> 00:55:44.440
In the CBS Sports Invitational, Ohio
State took down UCLA in an ugly

804
00:55:44.519 --> 00:55:49.320
game, and then fourteen Kentucky outlasted
Noumer nine North Carolina and entertaining eighty seven

805
00:55:49.719 --> 00:55:54.440
to eighty three performance. John cal
Perry brought both Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham

806
00:55:54.480 --> 00:55:59.199
off the bench for some reason.
Also, the Wildcats now have seven foot

807
00:55:59.360 --> 00:56:02.440
stud fresh Aaron Bradshaw going, so
theoretically I might be getting a little more

808
00:56:02.519 --> 00:56:07.760
dangerous. They're the SEC favorite,
right Oh they have to be. Yeah,

809
00:56:07.880 --> 00:56:14.079
they're They're great until they inevitably do
something stupid around March twentieth or something

810
00:56:14.119 --> 00:56:16.599
like that. Number twenty team named
Saint Peter's or something. Yeah, they

811
00:56:16.800 --> 00:56:21.800
been there, done that. Number
twenty two Virginia beat Northeastern fifty six to

812
00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:24.719
fifty four. Somebody throw Tony Bennett
in a closet and leave him there.

813
00:56:27.519 --> 00:56:31.960
That is disgusting. Did you see
the DePaul score yesterday? Goodness gracious,

814
00:56:32.639 --> 00:56:37.800
oh maybe it was really really bad. So Northwestern, who is ranked,

815
00:56:37.159 --> 00:56:44.400
went into Chicago and beat DePaul fifty
six to forty six. Man, people

816
00:56:44.440 --> 00:56:46.960
paid money for that. People paid
money to sit in. The NBA suckson

817
00:56:47.039 --> 00:56:52.800
is unwatchable. That's a first quarter
score in some NBA games, a really

818
00:56:52.840 --> 00:56:57.280
high scoring NBA game. The Pacers
have hit like one hundred and forty five

819
00:56:57.400 --> 00:57:01.360
points like ten times this season already. Yep. Even the Detroit Pistons can

820
00:57:01.400 --> 00:57:07.719
score more than what forty whatever points
that. Yeah, they've lost like twenty

821
00:57:07.760 --> 00:57:09.639
three straight games or something. Yep. Yeah, they've gone from two to

822
00:57:09.760 --> 00:57:14.960
one to two and twenty four.
I think they should not be that bad.

823
00:57:15.000 --> 00:57:22.920
But that's a different podcast. Correct
Missouri in front of proximately ten fans

824
00:57:22.760 --> 00:57:28.000
up here in case at the t
Moble Center, we already played the song,

825
00:57:28.079 --> 00:57:31.079
so that's fun. A Louisville update. After Ryan declared them no longer

826
00:57:31.119 --> 00:57:37.159
the worst team, they said,
old my beer. They lost to one

827
00:57:37.199 --> 00:57:42.719
and seven to Paul and then Arkansas
State at home by double digits. They're

828
00:57:42.920 --> 00:57:46.079
five and six. That is too
fair, a game and a half better

829
00:57:46.079 --> 00:57:51.440
than Cal who's three and seven and
is only one once since November thirteenth.

830
00:57:51.480 --> 00:57:53.960
But I don't know how it's possible
for Power Power Conference seems to be this

831
00:57:54.079 --> 00:57:58.679
bad. They are so bad.
So I don't know if you were on

832
00:57:58.880 --> 00:58:02.079
if you listen to the last show
where we talked about who is Gonzaga's biggest

833
00:58:02.119 --> 00:58:06.880
competition in the WCC, and we're
like, okay, let's just go buy

834
00:58:06.960 --> 00:58:10.360
record by record, it's Santa Clara. Santa Clara has the second best record

835
00:58:10.360 --> 00:58:14.360
in the WCC. Let's see who
they lost you, Oh my gosh,

836
00:58:14.440 --> 00:58:17.079
they were one of the team's cow
beat. Yeah, that's where we're at

837
00:58:17.079 --> 00:58:22.079
with the WCC. YEP, only
four teams here, but they are pretty

838
00:58:22.199 --> 00:58:25.440
high ranked ones ranked team to loose. It's last show, beginning at the

839
00:58:25.480 --> 00:58:30.480
top. Number one Arizona took an
el the Purdue. Number six Baylor got

840
00:58:30.480 --> 00:58:34.599
their doors blown off by Michigan State
number nine North Carolina. I can't believe

841
00:58:34.639 --> 00:58:38.239
Hubert Davis is on this list.
Shocking right. They lost to Kentucky and

842
00:58:38.360 --> 00:58:43.119
the most irrelevant ranked team ever,
Number thirteen clemes in they lost to Memphis

843
00:58:43.599 --> 00:58:45.719
and you lost to both of us
and pick them. You're nine games behind

844
00:58:45.800 --> 00:58:50.800
Nick and seven games behind me and
we're not even a Christmas yet. Yeah.

845
00:58:52.199 --> 00:58:54.119
Uh, Ryan, one time you
told me you gave me any advice

846
00:58:54.159 --> 00:58:58.440
of never care and pick them.
That's how you win is just by not

847
00:58:58.519 --> 00:59:01.480
caring. And this is me not
caring. Pick a box I did?

848
00:59:01.760 --> 00:59:06.159
It is usually where and you and
I Well, I might be jinxing this,

849
00:59:06.320 --> 00:59:10.239
but you are in the semi finals
and a fantasy football league and you're

850
00:59:10.400 --> 00:59:14.840
so geeked about your chance of winning
it decent chance you might have to play

851
00:59:14.880 --> 00:59:16.960
me in order to get there,
sir. How confident are you that this

852
00:59:17.000 --> 00:59:22.119
is gonna be your coolie year?
Zero percent? You're gonna beat me by

853
00:59:22.239 --> 00:59:25.880
seventy next week? Well, I
gotta get there first, and I gotta

854
00:59:25.880 --> 00:59:29.719
hope not to get aj boer.
By the way, it does not matter

855
00:59:29.719 --> 00:59:31.519
who I play next week in the
COO League, Sammis, I will lose

856
00:59:31.599 --> 00:59:37.280
a laugher and it we'll be back
to report on that sometime after Christmas.

857
00:59:37.320 --> 00:59:45.159
Merry Christmas, Land and take an
l on Christmas Eve, ask rock Chalk

858
00:59:45.239 --> 00:59:47.679
Blog. Well, fans were very
excited about the return of land in here.

859
00:59:49.480 --> 00:59:52.480
Wow. The happy to see you
too. Yeah, the people are

860
00:59:52.480 --> 00:59:57.960
geeked, sir. That's why you
can never retire from this illustrious paying position.

861
00:59:58.840 --> 01:00:01.760
Lucky for you are very benefits package
included a nice amount of paid time

862
01:00:01.760 --> 01:00:05.199
off that I'm sure you enjoyed while
you were sick over the last week.

863
01:00:05.800 --> 01:00:07.880
Yeah, it was really nice to
see the same same amount on the check

864
01:00:07.880 --> 01:00:10.679
come in. That's what we do. We make sure that whenever you take

865
01:00:10.679 --> 01:00:14.840
a day off due to sickness here
at Inside the Paint, you don't lose

866
01:00:14.880 --> 01:00:19.719
a cent against what you would normally
make had you shown up and done it

867
01:00:19.840 --> 01:00:23.559
through that, through your respiratory discomfort. That is what we stand for here

868
01:00:23.599 --> 01:00:28.119
at Inside the Paint Headquarters. You
also really stand for when I do show

869
01:00:28.199 --> 01:00:30.199
up that I don't make a cent
more than I would when I'm off.

870
01:00:30.519 --> 01:00:35.199
Hey, you know what, I
think? A balanced world is an ideal

871
01:00:35.320 --> 01:00:39.840
world. So let's not question the
way that the CEO of ITPS Headquarters does

872
01:00:39.880 --> 01:00:44.519
things here, sir. The business
is bigger than the individual. Do you

873
01:00:44.559 --> 01:00:50.039
want to be replaced? Uh?
Don't answer, right of your sentences.

874
01:00:50.079 --> 01:00:53.639
Maybe I don't know who i'd replace
you with, But I have a couple

875
01:00:53.679 --> 01:00:57.480
of names in mind, and well, no, I think I'm just gonna

876
01:00:57.559 --> 01:01:02.679
not alienate you at cam Lipple.
In a contest of utter confusion, who

877
01:01:02.719 --> 01:01:09.800
would win Mike Woodson anytime? Joe
Biden, Kenny Payne trying to coach,

878
01:01:10.440 --> 01:01:21.079
or Bill trying to figure out why
Mitch Lightfoot can't guard the mobiley twins like

879
01:01:21.119 --> 01:01:23.360
he should be able to write,
He just should be able to guard two

880
01:01:23.400 --> 01:01:28.039
lottery picks right, like, I
don't get why that's not working. Let's

881
01:01:28.119 --> 01:01:30.840
try it again. Oh we're down
by twenty eight, Let's try it again.

882
01:01:30.920 --> 01:01:35.199
Oh we're down by thirty five.
Let's try again. That was the

883
01:01:35.559 --> 01:01:42.280
icing on the cake of that just
unbelievable loss, the worst loss by point

884
01:01:42.360 --> 01:01:47.920
margins I've ever watched Kansas lose,
and arguably the least painful, because good

885
01:01:49.000 --> 01:01:52.480
riddance to that team there was.
There was a moment in that game that

886
01:01:52.559 --> 01:01:55.280
I remember Christian Brown hitting a three, who was minus thirty six that night,

887
01:01:55.320 --> 01:02:00.000
by the way, I remember,
I remember Christian Brown making a three

888
01:02:00.159 --> 01:02:02.920
that cut the deficit to like nineteen
right out of the second half, and

889
01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:07.400
I was doing mathematic equations in my
head, like, okay, if they

890
01:02:07.400 --> 01:02:09.400
can have down at fifteen by this
point and then twelve by this point,

891
01:02:09.679 --> 01:02:13.679
and just like I couldn't believe I
was spending time doing that. I was

892
01:02:13.760 --> 01:02:16.079
unemployed during COVID at that point and
needed something to fill my time with.

893
01:02:16.159 --> 01:02:22.039
I guess, so I spent it
with that horrible basketball team. Yeah,

894
01:02:22.039 --> 01:02:25.679
and look at the great reward he
got. Yeah, twenty whole wins and

895
01:02:25.760 --> 01:02:31.400
a very ugly loss to USC.
I think your answer at Joe Biden is

896
01:02:31.440 --> 01:02:36.679
the most confused of those people.
Yeah, but Kenny Payne is the worst

897
01:02:36.719 --> 01:02:43.880
at his job of those four.
Also true and without getting bashing, Yeah,

898
01:02:44.239 --> 01:02:49.000
exactly, it's not Bill Mike Woodston's
Okay. So I guess your options

899
01:02:49.039 --> 01:02:52.920
are the current standing president and the
current coach of Louisville, And the answer

900
01:02:53.000 --> 01:02:57.719
is easily Kenny Payne. He's terrible, and Kenny Payne, to be fair,

901
01:02:58.079 --> 01:03:01.760
had like a way easier turnaround job
than Biden. Eh. Yeah,

902
01:03:01.800 --> 01:03:06.559
I was gonna say Kenny Payne had
a much easier as a much easier job.

903
01:03:07.079 --> 01:03:09.519
Like he's all he has to do
is call some basketball plays, and

904
01:03:09.559 --> 01:03:14.639
he's bad at it. He's really, really bad at that at Evan Phillips

905
01:03:14.719 --> 01:03:20.760
forty five, Landon, has your
herpes healed yet? My alleged herpes is

906
01:03:21.480 --> 01:03:24.719
like ninety seven percent healed? Hey, just been time for Christmas? You

907
01:03:24.719 --> 01:03:28.639
don't want to pass along herpes to
your family. That's gonna lead to some

908
01:03:28.679 --> 01:03:31.159
real awkward conversations. Yeah, that
would, wouldn't it. Hey, how'd

909
01:03:31.199 --> 01:03:35.800
you get herpies? Oh? Landon? He lives in my house? Wait?

910
01:03:36.239 --> 01:03:40.760
Isn't he your kid? Yeah,
let's not ask questions. Don't want

911
01:03:40.760 --> 01:03:45.599
to give anybody who already throws enough
eggs at the homeschool or bus any more

912
01:03:45.639 --> 01:03:50.039
AMMO to work with. So yeah, just go ahead and don't shake hands

913
01:03:50.079 --> 01:03:54.320
this holiday season, sir at cope
fraud? Is it time to officially cut

914
01:03:54.400 --> 01:03:58.280
Timberlake from the rotation for good?
Okay? Sir? One word answer,

915
01:03:58.360 --> 01:04:02.440
I know what's coming? Maybe no, Okay, I thought for sure there's

916
01:04:02.440 --> 01:04:05.920
gonna be a no. And is
there a better coach in college basketball history

917
01:04:06.039 --> 01:04:09.840
at winning games? They have no
business winning than Bill self? No,

918
01:04:10.280 --> 01:04:14.840
it's there there. I've never seen
one. Like every single game that's tied

919
01:04:14.880 --> 01:04:17.519
with three minutes left, not everyone, but like they win like eighty five

920
01:04:17.559 --> 01:04:24.320
percent of those road home tournament.
Yeah, doesn't doesn't make any sense how

921
01:04:24.320 --> 01:04:27.400
that's the case. But when they're
tied with five minutes left, they had

922
01:04:27.480 --> 01:04:31.760
that, they usually still win.
It's baffling. He's he's so good.

923
01:04:32.039 --> 01:04:34.599
I'm not ready to bail on timber
Lake. By the way, to answer

924
01:04:34.679 --> 01:04:38.400
the first part of the question,
I'd like to see a couple more attempts

925
01:04:38.400 --> 01:04:41.840
to get him going. I mean, the numbers at talsand were real.

926
01:04:41.880 --> 01:04:44.239
This isn't a guy who did this
in high school. He did this individion

927
01:04:44.280 --> 01:04:46.639
one as player he really was.
I don't think he's I don't think he

928
01:04:46.679 --> 01:04:49.239
has it to Kansas maybe, and
I would love to be wrong, because

929
01:04:49.239 --> 01:04:54.679
I think that elevates the team immensely
if he's good. I just I've seen

930
01:04:54.840 --> 01:04:59.000
nothing to indicate that. I can't
imagine there being a better player on that

931
01:04:59.079 --> 01:05:02.400
team than Nick Timberlake seventeen points night, like he was a good player.

932
01:05:02.480 --> 01:05:06.119
It's very frustrating that it hasn't happened
here. I'm at show Me Hawk.

933
01:05:06.199 --> 01:05:10.320
You'll never guess who Ken Palm now
has as their number one team after a

934
01:05:10.360 --> 01:05:14.280
big win over unranked Texas A and
m oh I think I know. I

935
01:05:14.320 --> 01:05:16.960
bet it's those Houston Cougars who beat
Rice a couple weeks ago and shot like

936
01:05:17.000 --> 01:05:21.559
a rocket and the net. Man, I'm shocked they drop BYU. Yeah,

937
01:05:21.880 --> 01:05:26.599
yeah, exactly because you know BYU
has those forty point wins over crap

938
01:05:26.639 --> 01:05:30.880
mccrap pants University and then they play
legitimate schools and get crushed. But you

939
01:05:30.920 --> 01:05:34.960
know the net will still and the
freaking Chris Reynolds uses the net. They

940
01:05:35.000 --> 01:05:40.639
think the nets a good tool out
there at NCAA headquarters. I think then

941
01:05:40.679 --> 01:05:43.760
that is actually a good tool.
It just takes a lot of data points

942
01:05:43.800 --> 01:05:46.559
to get right, like late season
net is different than early season net.

943
01:05:46.760 --> 01:05:49.719
Nope, that's not allowed, sir. That makes you a communist that you

944
01:05:49.760 --> 01:05:56.480
are not allowed to say that.
Wayne kerr our Man at dick Underscore Taser

945
01:05:56.599 --> 01:06:00.000
says you. Ninety five percent of
KU fans watch the game teetering on the

946
01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:04.960
ledge of walls of wells overlook.
I was traveling over season, missed the

947
01:06:05.000 --> 01:06:10.760
game. Going back through Twitter was
insane, fire Bill Bench, Harris Dickinson,

948
01:06:10.840 --> 01:06:14.599
soft, kJ can't shoot, et
cetera. My question, are our

949
01:06:14.719 --> 01:06:23.199
fans idiots blind on bath salts or
just arseholes? Yeah? I mean all

950
01:06:23.239 --> 01:06:24.880
of it can I say that,
By the way, do I have to

951
01:06:24.880 --> 01:06:28.119
beat that? I know I can't
say that, but fine, if you,

952
01:06:28.159 --> 01:06:30.679
if you, if you make it
arses that make it better or worse,

953
01:06:30.400 --> 01:06:34.079
it's I think it's maybe a little
better. Okay, then we'll just

954
01:06:34.159 --> 01:06:38.480
leave it at that. On Bath
Salts is my favorite. I think that's

955
01:06:38.480 --> 01:06:43.159
really you can tell that that Wayne. There's a reason Wayne Kerr and Inside

956
01:06:43.159 --> 01:06:45.800
the Paint get along pretty well.
Make your jokes. There's a reason that

957
01:06:45.840 --> 01:06:50.519
those two accounts kind of go hand
in hand because, yes, completely correct,

958
01:06:50.679 --> 01:06:54.840
Dick Underscore Taser, you might be
the land and a Nick replacement when

959
01:06:54.880 --> 01:07:00.960
they finally get enough of this show, sew down to get Wayne good old

960
01:07:01.000 --> 01:07:06.079
Wayne Kerr. We don't know what
Wayne Kerr sounds like like he could we

961
01:07:06.119 --> 01:07:09.199
don't know. We don't know anything
about him. We don't even know his

962
01:07:09.280 --> 01:07:14.440
actual name because his username is Dick
Taser. Well, based on Dick Taser

963
01:07:14.480 --> 01:07:16.119
and Wayne Kerr, it might sound
a lot like a plunger in a Mayo

964
01:07:16.199 --> 01:07:21.400
jar, but that's well, yes, you're completely correct. It's it's wild.

965
01:07:21.599 --> 01:07:25.960
I have a feeling that that Wayne
will enjoy the rant earlier in the

966
01:07:26.000 --> 01:07:30.119
show at Elliott rus and h this
team's just going to win because their stars

967
01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:31.519
are better than everyone else's. Right, that's the sense I'm getting because of

968
01:07:31.559 --> 01:07:34.360
the state of the bench. Yes, that's also how college basketball works more

969
01:07:34.400 --> 01:07:36.519
often than not for the Blue Boes, I feel like, right, pretty

970
01:07:36.599 --> 01:07:41.159
much, pretty much like Kansas has
four players that are better than the top

971
01:07:41.199 --> 01:07:45.039
four players on most teams cumulatively,
and therefore they will win a lot of

972
01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:47.880
games. Like, there are going
to be games that you don't get enough

973
01:07:47.880 --> 01:07:50.599
from that group and you're like,
man, a better bench, and they

974
01:07:50.679 --> 01:07:54.599
probably win, But there's gonna be
way fewer of those, and there's going

975
01:07:54.639 --> 01:07:57.679
to be the big four. We're
good and therefore we won games, right

976
01:07:58.840 --> 01:08:01.840
usually yeah, or even games where
it seems like, oh, if the

977
01:08:01.880 --> 01:08:05.400
bench would have played better, they
could have won it. Oftentimes is also

978
01:08:05.599 --> 01:08:10.320
if our starters had just done their
job, they would have won. Yep.

979
01:08:10.639 --> 01:08:13.719
And that would have been the case
against Indiana too. We wouldn't be

980
01:08:13.719 --> 01:08:17.079
sitting here had they lost that game, had had whatever Galloway almost had Joey

981
01:08:17.079 --> 01:08:20.960
Galloway he played football once and Matt
Galloway is a writer for KU Sports.

982
01:08:21.000 --> 01:08:27.520
Whatever the hell Galloway's name was Trey
Trey Galloway. Had he made those shots,

983
01:08:27.680 --> 01:08:30.439
we wouldn't be sitting here saying,
gosh, the bench was disappointing.

984
01:08:30.680 --> 01:08:33.600
We would have instead been saying,
to Wan, did to shoot till it

985
01:08:33.640 --> 01:08:38.000
was too late? Hunter? Its
soft as dog poop after eating chocolate.

986
01:08:38.279 --> 01:08:40.920
That would have been what we let
off with. It's always going to be

987
01:08:40.960 --> 01:08:45.560
about those Big four. Yeah,
agreed. Another one from Elliott the only

988
01:08:45.640 --> 01:08:48.520
question, Oh that Okay says that's
the only question I have because I have

989
01:08:48.600 --> 01:08:51.720
too many and would have to phone
in otherwise, Hey, you never have

990
01:08:51.800 --> 01:08:56.560
to phone it. We never phone
in this podcast. That sort of stuff

991
01:08:56.600 --> 01:09:03.159
isn't tolerated. Max's effort or bust
that inside the paint. Sure at ol

992
01:09:03.279 --> 01:09:08.079
Art Casey with our final question here, and I'm gonna go ahead and answer

993
01:09:08.159 --> 01:09:13.399
it before I ask it. Here's
the answer, O God, all right,

994
01:09:13.439 --> 01:09:18.520
now, I'll read the question who
would win five Nick Timberlakes or five

995
01:09:18.920 --> 01:09:28.960
Ku version ty on Grant Foster's Oh
oh it's Timberlake. I think the answer

996
01:09:29.199 --> 01:09:35.680
is anyone who bets the under because
that game is booty. Also, Olhart

997
01:09:35.680 --> 01:09:40.800
Casey wrote in the tweet five justin
Timberlakes, which may make this question a

998
01:09:40.800 --> 01:09:44.760
little bit more interesting. I think
Tyon Grant Foster would beat Justin Timberlake in

999
01:09:44.800 --> 01:09:47.680
a basketball game, but that would
at least make it. I would it'd

1000
01:09:47.720 --> 01:09:53.439
be more interesting than watching a brick
contest between TGF and who's good now,

1001
01:09:53.479 --> 01:09:58.159
by the way, only took a
few years and Nick Kimberlake, who's definitely

1002
01:09:58.199 --> 01:10:00.520
not good. Tyon Grant Foster for
the the Grand Canyon. What are they,

1003
01:10:00.560 --> 01:10:04.640
sir? What's their mascot? They're
the Oh, I think it's the

1004
01:10:04.640 --> 01:10:08.600
antelopes. They're just the lobes.
But yes, I'll give it to you.

1005
01:10:09.000 --> 01:10:13.640
It's like rus and kangaroos. Tyan
Grant Foster is averaging twenty one points

1006
01:10:13.640 --> 01:10:15.399
per game in ten games this year. I know he's good. That's very

1007
01:10:15.520 --> 01:10:19.079
very good. Yeah, he's been
very good this year. He's also been

1008
01:10:19.119 --> 01:10:23.319
in college for what feels like forever, because that COVID year somehow was only

1009
01:10:23.359 --> 01:10:27.039
three years three years ago, and
it feels like a lifetime ago. If

1010
01:10:27.039 --> 01:10:30.239
you ever have asked ARCB questions,
use the x hashtag or apply to the

1011

tweet, or just send it to
me because I save them. Anytime you

1012
01:10:31.920 --> 01:10:35.920
want to criticize anybody, else's attendance
on this show or whatnot. You know

1013
01:10:35.960 --> 01:10:42.720
where to find us. Just kidding. These co hosts are committed and dedicated

1014
01:10:42.760 --> 01:10:47.680
and passionate, just like Bill is. The playing IVY League schools before Christmas,

1015
01:10:47.760 --> 01:10:53.760
because every year we get this.
Yale at number two Kansas, Merry

1016
01:10:53.840 --> 01:10:57.720
Christmas, Sir, Friday, December
twenty second, your last game before the

1017
01:10:57.800 --> 01:11:09.159
big day at seven o'clock PM on
ESPN PLUSO. Great the Yale Bulldogs of

1018
01:11:09.199 --> 01:11:12.239
the IVY League. They are seven
and five. They played one ranked team

1019
01:11:12.279 --> 01:11:15.680
and it was Gonzaga and they lost
that game by fifteen. They also beat

1020
01:11:15.680 --> 01:11:19.920
a team called Colby Sawyer and they
won that game ninety five to thirty six.

1021
01:11:20.520 --> 01:11:25.039
That tells you anything about the quality
of Colby Sawyer. Uh, their

1022
01:11:25.119 --> 01:11:30.359
best win is Loel and Arimount on
the road. How does Gonzaga win in

1023
01:11:30.520 --> 01:11:35.319
WCC so much? Says Ryan.
They play teams like one percent better than

1024
01:11:35.359 --> 01:11:40.119
Colby Sawyer for the this part,
Yeah, Yale would be the second best

1025
01:11:40.239 --> 01:11:44.039
WCC team by Miles this year.
Man, most years, if we're being

1026
01:11:44.079 --> 01:11:47.760
honest, I would say Santa Clair
is better, but as we covered,

1027
01:11:47.760 --> 01:11:50.720
they lost to Cal so I really
can't say that at all. Yeah,

1028
01:11:50.840 --> 01:11:56.800
no, you can't. Their leading
scorer Yale's is is wing Bez and Peg,

1029
01:11:57.399 --> 01:12:01.479
who averages fourteen points and five rebounds
per game. He is not a

1030
01:12:01.479 --> 01:12:05.439
three point threat twenty six percent.
White Guy of the weld say, not

1031
01:12:05.520 --> 01:12:09.359
a three point threat, but twenty
six percent basically means you're going to for

1032
01:12:09.399 --> 01:12:11.960
four. Well, that won't matter
in this game, too, sir,

1033
01:12:12.079 --> 01:12:16.199
because these individuals are gonna take all
the threes. Not just white Guy of

1034
01:12:16.239 --> 01:12:23.199
the Game candidates, but White Guy
of the Millennium candidates. John Pollokatas and

1035
01:12:23.720 --> 01:12:31.319
August Mahoney are both shooting north of
forty percent on threes, which means,

1036
01:12:31.479 --> 01:12:39.600
oh my gosh, a guy,
a white guy named August, and his

1037
01:12:39.680 --> 01:12:45.560
grade point average is probably four point
eight. He does go to Yale to

1038
01:12:45.640 --> 01:12:49.640
be fair. The leading big,
oh go ahead, I'm sorry. Oh

1039
01:12:49.680 --> 01:12:53.680
are you choking talk over each other
on this podcast? Are you choking like

1040
01:12:53.760 --> 01:12:59.279
a dog like Indiana did? Uh? Yeah, that's just my herpes flaring.

1041
01:13:00.520 --> 01:13:02.640
I was just gonna say, Kansas
has never been burned by a guy

1042
01:13:02.680 --> 01:13:06.319
named August, so that's a new
one. That would be new. The

1043
01:13:06.399 --> 01:13:11.880
leading big is seven foot center Danny
Wolf, whoever is thirteen and nine.

1044
01:13:12.039 --> 01:13:16.000
He shoots fifty from the floor.
He's also twelve of twenty five shooting for

1045
01:13:16.439 --> 01:13:20.399
threes this year. That would also
make a lot of sense for Danny Wolf

1046
01:13:20.600 --> 01:13:25.119
to just kind of go ham,
I don't think Danny Wolf is a white

1047
01:13:25.119 --> 01:13:29.359
guy. I think Yeah, if
I look up Danny Wolf on Google,

1048
01:13:29.479 --> 01:13:32.159
it brings up an entertainer. Uh, so I need to look up Danny

1049
01:13:32.199 --> 01:13:38.079
Wolf Yale and let's let's take a
look. He is no, Oh my

1050
01:13:38.159 --> 01:13:41.760
gosh, he's very white. He
is. I was very incorrect. Here

1051
01:13:41.800 --> 01:13:45.840
is Danny there? He is yeap, so he's gonna make some Uh,

1052
01:13:45.159 --> 01:13:51.119
Yale's gonna make August Mahoney looks like
the personification of the University of Yale.

1053
01:13:51.399 --> 01:13:55.399
Yeah, if you go to chat
GPT and you say, show me what

1054
01:13:55.479 --> 01:14:00.439
the average Yale student looks like,
August Mahoney's portrait comes up and it's it's

1055
01:14:00.560 --> 01:14:04.479
Yeah, there's gonna be some threes
made at this in this game. Yale

1056
01:14:04.560 --> 01:14:08.439
itself is kind of a hard team
to scout. They play at a decent

1057
01:14:08.520 --> 01:14:13.000
pace, They're pretty okay at everything. They've been a pretty good offensive team

1058
01:14:13.000 --> 01:14:15.119
this year. Their big strengths are
free throw shooting, though it's in limited

1059
01:14:15.119 --> 01:14:19.239
attempts and three point defense. They've
also been a good three point shooting team

1060
01:14:19.319 --> 01:14:24.319
because they have August and Danny Wolf
out there. They're pretty middle of the

1061
01:14:24.319 --> 01:14:28.239
pack from a national perspective in most
categories. They also have five losses,

1062
01:14:28.319 --> 01:14:30.319
so I mean, I couldn't find
anything that they were just jumps off the

1063
01:14:30.359 --> 01:14:34.119
page, good or bad at.
But they are seven and five against a

1064
01:14:34.119 --> 01:14:39.520
pretty lacking schedule, and again they're
Nerds, so screw them, right,

1065
01:14:41.640 --> 01:14:45.199
Yeah, that is my general thought
process on nerds for sure. Get out

1066
01:14:45.199 --> 01:14:47.840
of there, Kansas. They're three
to zero all time against the Nerds of

1067
01:14:47.920 --> 01:14:53.840
Yale and they haven't played since two
thousand and seven. I assume we are

1068
01:14:54.119 --> 01:15:00.760
all over the Hawks here. I
don't know if August Mahoney doesn't make seventeen

1069
01:15:00.920 --> 01:15:05.479
threes, which is possible, and
that's another thing that's gonna happen. August

1070
01:15:05.560 --> 01:15:09.960
Mahoney is going to do a dude
perfect trick shot where he shoots it from

1071
01:15:10.000 --> 01:15:13.479
the student section and it splashes through
the net, and somebody on Twitter is

1072
01:15:13.479 --> 01:15:15.760
gonna yell at me for saying,
well, yeah, they didn't guard him,

1073
01:15:16.319 --> 01:15:21.680
of course he made it. Do
you even watch. Yeah, that

1074
01:15:21.720 --> 01:15:27.680
would happen. That is exactly how
that would go. That's and don't even

1075
01:15:27.720 --> 01:15:30.279
get me started. Like there were
a couple of times where Ku left Indiana

1076
01:15:30.279 --> 01:15:33.840
shooters open because they're not good they
read the scouting report. But I think

1077
01:15:33.880 --> 01:15:38.479
it was I think it was in
Baco who was like, oh, let

1078
01:15:38.520 --> 01:15:42.560
me just euro step and launch this
three above two guys with twenty four seconds

1079
01:15:42.640 --> 01:15:45.279
left on the shot clock and splash. And then the responses were where they

1080
01:15:45.319 --> 01:15:50.600
didn't guard him. You're jo like, oh my gosh. And that's what's

1081
01:15:50.640 --> 01:15:55.079
really the most funny part about it. Yeah, and neither's Yale, but

1082
01:15:55.159 --> 01:15:58.279
Kansas will be Yale. I'll say
something like seventy this is get this.

1083
01:15:58.439 --> 01:16:01.039
The game before Christmas is always sleepy
as hell. This is gonna be like

1084
01:16:01.199 --> 01:16:08.239
sixty eight to fifty four in the
most sleepy year in recent memory for Kansas.

1085
01:16:08.319 --> 01:16:11.600
Is the reverse going to be possible? That's true? It could this

1086
01:16:11.640 --> 01:16:15.479
be that. Watch this be the
game they drop one hundred. I don't

1087
01:16:15.479 --> 01:16:17.039
think it's gonna happen. I actually
kind of agree. I think Kansas I'm

1088
01:16:17.079 --> 01:16:21.479
catching on to what they're doing this
year. Finally, Kansas wins like seventy

1089
01:16:21.600 --> 01:16:28.000
seven to sixty seven. I may
take an under on seventy seven. Honestly,

1090
01:16:28.079 --> 01:16:31.960
like they haven't. They haven't scored
that much consistently recently, and this

1091
01:16:32.119 --> 01:16:36.319
is going to be such a snooze, Like, remember what was it Harvard

1092
01:16:36.439 --> 01:16:41.239
last year? What was the score
of the Harvard game on this exact date?

1093
01:16:42.119 --> 01:16:45.600
Yeah? Recently at least they had
a game against Harvard that was really

1094
01:16:45.800 --> 01:16:49.439
really boring. Did I just say
sixty eight to fifty four or something close,

1095
01:16:49.479 --> 01:16:55.079
because that is what that exact score
was. Oh, yeah, there

1096
01:16:55.119 --> 01:16:58.840
it is, So it is.
That's about the sort of spiel for it.

1097
01:16:59.000 --> 01:17:01.439
I remember Grady Dick making a bunch
of threes in a row in that

1098
01:17:01.479 --> 01:17:06.119
game, and that was just kind
of it. That happened a lot last

1099
01:17:06.159 --> 01:17:11.079
year. Looking at the box score
of that game, and Bobby Pettiford was

1100
01:17:11.119 --> 01:17:15.159
your leader with four assists for Kansas. Wow, no, wonder that team

1101
01:17:15.239 --> 01:17:18.880
wasn't that good. I mean,
they were fine until their coach's heart gave

1102
01:17:18.920 --> 01:17:24.760
out. That's fair. They would
have probably they probably wouldn't have beat Yukon.

1103
01:17:24.840 --> 01:17:27.720
They were fine until their coaches heart
gave out, and then they lost

1104
01:17:27.760 --> 01:17:30.560
to Texas and got stuck in that
region. They got Chris Reynolds. That

1105
01:17:30.800 --> 01:17:35.720
entire season was going great until the
last week. Yeah, that is true,

1106
01:17:35.720 --> 01:17:40.199
and then Eric Musselman's shirt was off
all of a sudden. Who knew

1107
01:17:40.199 --> 01:17:43.119
what happened. He got kicked out
the other day. I don't remember who

1108
01:17:43.119 --> 01:17:45.279
they were playing, but he got
Yeah, he got ejected for yelling at

1109
01:17:45.279 --> 01:17:48.159
the officials. And this was one
of the many shows that you missed.

1110
01:17:48.479 --> 01:17:51.520
And yeah, we were talking about
Nick's at his shirt actually stayed on for

1111
01:17:51.520 --> 01:17:55.159
a change. Yes, I think
we all like Kansas to win, but

1112
01:17:55.279 --> 01:17:58.640
this is this is not going to
be a super aesthetically pleasing game to watch,

1113
01:17:59.199 --> 01:18:01.000
but they will not lose if it
was. If if the game is

1114
01:18:01.039 --> 01:18:03.760
a tie and everybody files out and
they need a determined winner so they go

1115
01:18:03.800 --> 01:18:08.560
to spelling bee questions, then they're
in deep trouble. That ain't happening.

1116
01:18:08.600 --> 01:18:11.840
If we have to start doing chemistry
on the court or something like, I'm

1117
01:18:11.880 --> 01:18:15.479
not, by any stretch insulting Hunter
Dickinson's intelligence, But if Hunter Dickinson has

1118
01:18:15.520 --> 01:18:19.279
to go head to head with August
Mahoney and a trigonometry contest to determine the

1119
01:18:19.279 --> 01:18:24.039
winner, I think Kansas might be
in trouble. Yeah, if it comes

1120
01:18:24.079 --> 01:18:27.760
down to that in the like seventh
overtime and those are the new rules.

1121
01:18:27.800 --> 01:18:30.439
Yeah, Kansas is gonna lose,
but before that, I think they'll win.

1122
01:18:30.840 --> 01:18:33.439
I guess it would be law questions
before before trig. Yeah, you

1123
01:18:33.479 --> 01:18:38.560
know what, I think I'd rather
take my chance with bar exam questions than

1124
01:18:38.600 --> 01:18:44.399
trig. Yeah. Its like a
like halfway guess potentially correct answer. Yeah,

1125
01:18:44.399 --> 01:18:46.000
you could. You have a better
chance of bsing your way to something

1126
01:18:46.000 --> 01:18:50.760
than you do have guessing a number. Right, yuck. All right.

1127
01:18:50.800 --> 01:18:55.199
Other games, we're only gonna pick
a few. We're gonna pick four because

1128
01:18:55.319 --> 01:18:58.239
everybody's kind of being sleepy around this
time of year. There are a few

1129
01:18:58.239 --> 01:19:00.600
good games. These rankings will all
show likely by the time you listen to

1130
01:19:00.640 --> 01:19:03.680
the show. We're recording this late
on Sunday night, about twelve hours before

1131
01:19:03.720 --> 01:19:08.720
the rankings come out. Number six
Baylor versus Number twenty one Duke in New

1132
01:19:08.800 --> 01:19:13.119
York City. I am real tempted
here. That is kind of Duke's home

1133
01:19:13.159 --> 01:19:15.880
away from home. But I'm not
gonna go against the Bears winning back to

1134
01:19:15.880 --> 01:19:19.479
back games. I do think they
get it done. I don't really trust

1135
01:19:19.479 --> 01:19:25.000
either of these teams that much right
now, which is tough to pick I'm

1136
01:19:25.000 --> 01:19:29.319
gonna take. I'm gonna take the
Bears as well. Number nine North Carolina

1137
01:19:29.359 --> 01:19:31.960
against number eleven Oklahoma and Charlotte.
I will go with you and see big

1138
01:19:32.000 --> 01:19:36.760
here. I think Oklahoma is a
fraud waiting to get exposed. I do

1139
01:19:36.840 --> 01:19:41.399
think since this is in Charlotte,
I will take the tar Heels. If

1140
01:19:41.399 --> 01:19:45.239
it was in Tulsa, would you
switch? I'd be more tempted to.

1141
01:19:45.479 --> 01:19:50.760
I believe. I don't think Oklahoma
is actually that good, but I think

1142
01:19:50.800 --> 01:19:55.920
they're solid enough to win some games
like this. I think North Carolina does

1143
01:19:55.960 --> 01:20:00.920
get it though. Number sixteen Illinois
against we are Miszoo in Saint Louis,

1144
01:20:01.680 --> 01:20:06.079
I really want to. I was
gonna pick Missouri and then they lost the

1145
01:20:06.159 --> 01:20:10.560
seat in the hall, and Illinois
is good. Terrence Shannon's a first team

1146
01:20:10.560 --> 01:20:13.720
All American right now. I think
the fighting a line I take down Missouri.

1147
01:20:15.079 --> 01:20:19.199
Same and the number one Arizona versus
number fifteen Florida Atlantic entertaining game.

1148
01:20:19.239 --> 01:20:25.199
Here are we all on the Wildcats
to bounce back high scoring game the Arizona

1149
01:20:25.239 --> 01:20:29.439
wins. Yes, I think I
agree, but that will be the best

1150
01:20:29.479 --> 01:20:32.119
game of this sleet. All right? So next show? What next Saturday

1151
01:20:32.199 --> 01:20:35.319
Night? Maybe like we do in
the Saturday night right before Christmas getting it

1152
01:20:35.359 --> 01:20:41.279
out? Uh, maybe we might
be earlier in the week. I don't

1153
01:20:41.319 --> 01:20:45.840
know, probably won before Christmas,
right I would bet so? Yeah?

1154
01:20:45.000 --> 01:20:48.560
And if the game, the Harvard
game is Friday night or the Yale games

1155
01:20:48.600 --> 01:20:51.479
Friday, then I don't know what
other options we've got, but we'll figure

1156
01:20:51.560 --> 01:20:56.720
it out. Well, we'll put
our heads together and put our herpes aside

1157
01:20:56.760 --> 01:20:59.239
and find the best time to give
you a show. How about that?

1158
01:20:59.359 --> 01:21:02.479
This is inside a Pain on Rock
Chuck Plug and Rian Landrath. Oh man,

1159
01:21:02.479 --> 01:21:05.920
I didn't come up with the name. I'm not Nick. Yeah,

1160
01:21:06.000 --> 01:21:09.600
there there you go. Nick and
I have got I've spent a lot of

1161
01:21:09.640 --> 01:21:12.560
one on one time together in the
last last few days. Now, I'm

1162
01:21:12.560 --> 01:21:14.800
a little scared to be spending one
on one time with you because of what

1163
01:21:14.800 --> 01:21:18.960
you're contagious with. Oh well,
you know, you could just try to

1164
01:21:19.000 --> 01:21:25.560
get it the normal way. It's
more fun in my hand and wiping it

1165
01:21:25.600 --> 01:21:28.720
on your face. Not know where
that was going. Where I heard the

1166
01:21:28.760 --> 01:21:31.800
first couple of syllables, They're glad
I'm glad it did not take the dark

1167
01:21:31.880 --> 01:21:36.239
route there. You could have said
that you were Kadarius Tony's hands whatever you

1168
01:21:36.239 --> 01:21:43.439
were given cons I'm not sure if
you want that dropping balls. Take that

1169
01:21:43.520 --> 01:21:45.000
as by, behave yourself.
