Be champions 2 00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:31.399 gotta win out taken on Htupid, we are we are another chang. Yeah, 3 00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:36.799 that's three years of this challenge, well challenge event series. Hevy Hoops 4 00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.119 Border Showdown for you, sir. That's it. I'm sorry, I forgot. 5 00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:43.200 It is not the border war anymore. Missouri calls it a war, 6 00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:46.640 Kansas does not, and uh, for whatever you want to call it, 7 00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:50.960 it's just lots of wins for the Jayhawks who beat Missouri almost a week ago. 8 00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:56.439 We're late getting you this show because everybody has had scheduling commitments. But 9 00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:00.679 Nick, we are once again a two man show today because our third half 10 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:08.120 May after going on two dates, have what Yeah, Landon Fields goes on 11 00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:12.480 a date and then another date, misses two shows, and now he is 12 00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:18.239 missing today's show because he's ill because he has herpes. It just been't preface 13 00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:23.480 that this is Landon is not active in any sense of the imagination. So 14 00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.239 this just has to be the one that spreads from hand to hand contact. 15 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.359 That still means he must have touched someone's hands that you know what, something 16 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:36.439 happened, But unfortunate for Landon that that's that's how you get that disease. 17 00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:42.760 And never mind, but very poor, very poor week for Landon, who 18 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.359 has been very sick. Feels like everybody's been sick in the world with some 19 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:52.239 sort of cold. It's just been going around and Landon has been going through 20 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.519 it for about a week and it turned into an earache. And then he 21 00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:00.519 texted us, I believe just the most random ForWords he's ever texted us randomly 22 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:05.120 earlier in the week, which is I might have herpes And Nick and I 23 00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.840 are like, yeah, okay, the funny guy, and he says, 24 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.400 no, I'm being serious. I might have the herpes virus, you know, 25 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:15.319 like the cold sore that starts with like the that feels like a cold 26 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:17.080 and everything. Leave it to you, land and to somehow get it, 27 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:21.520 as Nick said, you get it that way from shaking hands, I guess 28 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.879 with someone. But another another show without land and he's planning on being back 29 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:30.520 in the next show U after Kansas plays Indiana. But yeah, Landon's basically 30 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:35.719 taken an unpaid leave of absence here for the entirety of December. That's taking 31 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.240 an unpaid uh not leave that sense right, So I guess you could flip 32 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:43.719 it around and say the alternative angle is he's not making any less than he 33 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.680 does whenever he does the show. So yeah, sure if you want to 34 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.199 say that. But Nick, you are mister reliable. You are the trooper 35 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:53.800 here today. Uh, taking time out of having family over for the holidays, 36 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.039 and you're still here to talk about Kansas and Missouri. Uh. That 37 00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.879 was That's That's how dedicated you are, sir. There's no way that you're 38 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:01.400 actually gonna hang it up at the end of this year. Who's ever. 39 00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:04.919 That's why I am on the show is because I got to get in all 40 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.960 the shows in my last season. That's right. Savor every single game I 41 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:13.280 can before I'm done after you know, the inevitable loss in March. Oh 42 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.520 nope, Yeah, that's that's that's definitely coming. This is inside the paint 43 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:21.159 on Rock Chuck blog, coming at you a few days later than we normally 44 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.360 do, but you know what, that's that's better late than never. I'm 45 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:30.759 Ryan Landreth and I am Nick Whipert and you do not have herpes, which 46 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:36.080 is not something that all of the regular rotation pieces can say and landon. 47 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.280 You know what, this is why I don't miss shows because if you guys, 48 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:42.159 ever, oh that's a good one. Yeah, let's go ahead and 49 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.159 give that a push. I think we could. I think we could use 50 00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:49.560 that. Come on, h This is why I don't miss shows, because 51 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.199 if I miss shows, you guys would be able to joke about me without 52 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:57.960 me being able to hold anything to present any actual rebuttals. So why would 53 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.520 I want to do that? This is why I've been on like four hundred 54 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.280 and thirty of these four hundred and thirty five shows. What is it? 55 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:04.960 Four thirty one show, four thirty one, I've done four and twenty seven 56 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:09.560 of them. That is that is so many shows, so so many shows. 57 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:13.560 That's almost as many times as Kansas has beat Missouri in school history. 58 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:15.720 And they got another one back on Saturday. Let's build the earhart and talk 59 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:21.720 about it all right. Number two Kansas seventy three, Number nothing, Missouri 60 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:25.079 sixty four. But screw that. You don't want to hear me say that. 61 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:30.160 You just want this what's up? Missoo tigernation baby yet? But you 62 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:43.360 can have this taking on so catchy it's just catch it's actually good, Like 63 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.680 I don't think that's a bad song. I mean it's terrible, right, 64 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.800 but it's also it's terrible, but it's also good. In some so bad 65 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:54.240 it's good, the same way that your six year old daughter likes the Baby 66 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:57.519 Shark song. It's horrible, but they think it's good. Yeah. Same 67 00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.879 here. Of course, if you're just listening to that song and you're thinking 68 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.199 what the heck is that and you haven't seen the music video, you're doing 69 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:08.279 yourself a disservice by having not gone to Google or YouTube and type in we 70 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.879 are a Mizoo music video, because this is something that they filmed way back 71 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.720 in twenty twelve that your Kansas and Missouri had the Neck and Neck Conference race 72 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.600 right before they went to the SEC, and you have all these dorky looking 73 00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:24.040 college kids and their jerseys tucked into their jeans and everything, doing this kind 74 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:28.360 of rap auto tunes song about how great Missouri is and how Kansas sucks because 75 00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.399 obviously know how that season turned out for both teams. So it's pretty ironic. 76 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.720 Now, if you haven't seen that video, Nick, how would you 77 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:39.959 describe that to somebody who has never seen this illustrious music video? Uh? 78 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:45.439 Have you ever seen a fraternity in the Midwest? Yeah? Wh he is 79 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:50.360 annoying and h yeah, I don't know. It's Missouri. It's met up. 80 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.680 They've been They've been memed to death as a result of this. I 81 00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:01.920 mean, that's why this is on the soundboard. And another l for Missouri 82 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.759 though, Nick, they did play better than they had played the last couple 83 00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:09.000 of years. I know that's not the highest bar to set or anything, 84 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.319 because they had lost the last two years by like seventy combined points. But 85 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.759 they were better in this game. Still wasn't enough to really be that close. 86 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.680 Yeah, but like I said, it wasn't the margin we've seen the 87 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:21.680 lastwo years. But Kansas took care of business to win their fifth straight game 88 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:26.160 overall, taking down Missouri on fieldhouse. He was ending the first half on 89 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.879 a twenty two run that will to claude in Missouri effort early into a deficit. 90 00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:33.839 They never got close closer than eight after halften. What's your initial takeaway 91 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:38.959 from this game? It is underwhelming fair after they've beaten Missouri, blown the 92 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:41.439 brakes off them two years in a row, put up one hundred ball and 93 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.279 couple twenty point thirty point wins. Well, so there's a couple different things 94 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.959 with that underwhelming is pretty I mean, you were a thirteen point favorite and 95 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:55.680 you won by nine and the second half he got out scored. And not 96 00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:59.439 blowing away teams is something we've kind of seen be a trend with this Kansas 97 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.319 team since the opening week of the year. But if you're compared it to 98 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.240 the last two years, that just isn't fair because Missouri was awful two years 99 00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:09.680 ago. They came in here with already like four or five losses in Quonzo 100 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:14.800 Martin at the controls and walking a dead man walking Quanzo Martin. Of course 101 00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:17.720 they're gonna blow that team out. And last year's Missouri team was pretty good. 102 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:21.160 They were in at large team in the NCAA Tournament. If they play 103 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:25.759 that game one hundred times, you saw one of the two or three most 104 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:30.480 lopsided Kansas performances of those one hundred. Missouri was better than they showed in 105 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.120 that game at missour Arena against Kansas last year. They just got blown away 106 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:40.399 early. Missouri's pretty good this year. They're not terrible. They probably are 107 00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:44.560 a bubble team. And yeah, Kansas should have won by more, and 108 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.720 there were several things that were gonna point out as to why they didn't but 109 00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:51.720 no, anytime you can beat a team that projects to be an at large 110 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:56.279 squad by close to double digits at home, you'll take it. I mean, 111 00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:01.759 if you swap out, you're telling me Missouri's any worse. Like I'm 112 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.759 trying to think middle of the Big twelve team. Missouri's not worse than Cincinnati 113 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:11.279 or Texas Tech or those teams. And Kansas has many games each year where 114 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:15.399 they beat that team by nine or ten points at home. So I wasn't 115 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.399 underwhelmed. I thought it was a good effort for Missouri. Missouri led this 116 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:20.879 game fifteen to six and looked like they were gonna hang around a lot longer 117 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.360 than they did, and the second half was never close. Underwhelming maybe, 118 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.720 but overall, I don't really think. So what do you think? Yeah, 119 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:33.399 I don't think it was underwhelming per se. I think a nine point 120 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.039 win is still satisfactory. Like you said, it's still a power five team. 121 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.840 This Missouri team maybe not as good as the one last year that k 122 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:43.159 You blew out, But I'm starting to trend towards the same opinion that this 123 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:48.559 team just isn't gonna blow teams out this year, which is okay. The 124 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.279 twenty twenty team didn't really do blow up have a lot of blowout wins either. 125 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:54.639 They had some close ones, but they just won games. So you 126 00:08:54.679 --> 00:09:00.879 could see a similar tail for this team. Still just kind of an underwhelming 127 00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.759 start to the season, and it's hard to say that when they're nine to 128 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.399 one, But we've really just haven't seen since the North Carolina Central and Manhattan 129 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:13.000 game just a breakout explosion of offense for all forty minutes or just consistent play. 130 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.679 They seems like the past five games at least they've had at least a 131 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.679 stretch in the first or second half where things just kind of go quiet and 132 00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.240 the other team just has the momentum. Alofi House was a little bit quiet 133 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.639 in the second half in this game, which is a little unusual against Missouri. 134 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:30.759 But yeah, this I don't I don't, I don't know, I 135 00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:35.200 don't get it. I don't understand the trends with with momentum for this season. 136 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.639 But you're just not a great shooting team, I guess, especially from 137 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:45.919 the perimeter, and you're relying heavily on three excellent phenomenal players and Ken McColl 138 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.919 or, ton of Dickinson and obviously Kja Adams has been huge. But outside 139 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.000 of that, you're looking for like the two guard spot, and you talked 140 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.799 about plenty, you're still a lot of question marks there, and again in 141 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.480 this game, it proved to be true. But I mean, you can't 142 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:05.679 fault a nine point win, like we said, like we alluded to. 143 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.080 I think one of us said, at least before this previous show, for 144 00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:11.799 the last show for the Missouri game, we said that this was going to 145 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.120 be a little bit closer. You know, you can't expect to blow out 146 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.679 your rival three years in a row. And it was. It kind of 147 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.440 came back down a little bit to earth for KU this year. But so 148 00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.559 I think a good win overall for the resume. Yeah, I think it's 149 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.679 a good win for the resume, is what you just said. I mean, 150 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:30.399 Kansas through ten games now they've won nine of them. They already have 151 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.639 wins over three different SEC teams on their schedule and a win over the defending 152 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.000 national champions. I mean, I don't understand how anybody can look at that 153 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.440 and not be satisfied with where they're at. I think that this team is 154 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.320 one of the two or three best teams in the country. I also think 155 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.720 that this team getting to nine and one or better happens less than half the 156 00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.799 times you play this schedule out because look at who they've played. They've played 157 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:56.559 four teams in the top fifteen. Missouri is your arch rival. They've played 158 00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:01.360 you know, they went to Maui. They've had against that field. I 159 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.919 mean, and now they're getting ready to play Indiana, which is kind of 160 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.919 a mixed bag. But it's a loaded schedule for Kansas. It's this week 161 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:09.720 of a non con schedule with the exception of that now He tournament as we've 162 00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:15.200 seen, and it's still just a loaded non conference schedule. You'll take nine 163 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.679 and one. Every time you mentioned kJ Adams, that's exactly who I think 164 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:20.519 we should lead off with. I think he was the most impactful player in 165 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:24.120 this game. He tied for the team lead seventeen points, season high for 166 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.879 him, seven for thirteen from the floor. Just gotta be on an emotionally 167 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:33.039 unprecedented place with everything that's happened to him the last few weeks, and he 168 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.519 is taking it out on the basketball court by dominating these opponents. kJ only 169 00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:39.399 had two rebounds, but he had five assists to go along with his seventeen 170 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:45.759 points and a sole crushing block on an easy transition runout that you will see 171 00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:50.759 on highlight reels for years to come. Paid omits to Thomas Robinson on the 172 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:54.000 day his jersey number was retired with a sole crushing block of the Missouri Tigers. 173 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:58.879 kJ played thirty seven minutes. That's the most he's played in a game 174 00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:01.919 in his career. Little Hunter Dickinson, like this is a big guy. 175 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.279 You don't normally see these type of players play that much, but they're in 176 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.480 such good athletic shape that they are able to do that and paying a tribute 177 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:13.039 to how they are able to avoid foul trouble. That's big. kJ has 178 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.840 been a star, Nick. I know that we've talked about. We knew 179 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:20.440 Dickinson would be good. We all figured McCuller would take a big leap forward. 180 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:22.600 But you got guys like hal Marco Jackson, Nick Timberlake who haven't been 181 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:28.000 maybe what we thought they'd be. Dewan Harris hasn't been quite what we thought 182 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.879 he'd be. But whenever you have kJ Adams who's taken a massive leap forward, 183 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:33.960 I feel like just about all of us we're completely sleeping on this. 184 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.600 And he has probably been the most improved player for Kansas this year, right 185 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:43.200 there with Kevin McCuller. You gotta be very happy with his development through the 186 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.000 first ten games. Absolutely, you know, he's been fantastic. Everything he's 187 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.480 been going through. I know we don't want to beat a dead horse there, 188 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.679 but he has gone through the ringer of this season, and just to 189 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.919 see him respond to that, it's just been phenomenal. He's been excellent, 190 00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.879 exactly what this team needs in the front court, such a good front court, 191 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:03.879 and we knew he was gonna be good, but but the way he's 192 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.279 broken out this year has been especially with Hunter Dickinson standing next to him, 193 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.240 I think it's just something we didn't really see obviously. But yeah, nothing 194 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:15.919 negative to say about kJ Adams. He's been a huge bright spot, one 195 00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:20.799 of the lone real surprises of this roster in a positive way. But another 196 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.519 real positive is Bill self is twelve to zero against Missouri and Allen field House. 197 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.480 Only Oklahoma has played Lawrence Moore without ever winning a game versus self. 198 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:33.639 Then Missouri shout out Kadeem Latin, who couldn't without these Bills Toma. Yeah, 199 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:39.919 Oklahoma's had a lot of close calls there. I feel like Oklahoma leads 200 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.879 them by eight in the second half every other year at Allen Field House and 201 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.639 they can never get it done. Obviously, the one you referenced was the 202 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.399 was their best chance. But they were up big last year in the second 203 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.039 half and couldn't finish. They were up big on Josh Jackson and Frank Mason 204 00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:58.840 Senior Day and couldn't finish. They've been up, They've had the lead. 205 00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:03.840 The COVID year, I think they led in the final minute and couldn't finish 206 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:05.480 it. And this year they're in the top fifteen again. So I'm looking 207 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.679 forward how this year's team leads Kansas sixty three to fifty six with three minutes 208 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:15.879 left and somehow final final that we know, Yeah, this is Oklahoma's last 209 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.519 chance to win an Allen in a while until I'm sure inevitably we'll see Bill 210 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:24.000 selfs schedule them as a home at home, like what they've done with Colorado 211 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.759 and A and M and Nebraska and all those former teams. So kJ Adams, 212 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.240 I think is the what's making him succeed. He's the perfect compliment Hunter 213 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.440 Dickinson. Hunter Dickinson, who will talk about in just a second, it's 214 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.039 been really awesome to see those two play together. kJ is not a shooter, 215 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:43.159 and I think that's what helps because Dickinson can shoot, so when he 216 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.440 goes outside, teams have to trail out. They can't just leave Hunter Dickinson 217 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.039 on the perimeter, and that opens up so much for kJ Adams. I 218 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:54.120 mean, what a difference that makes. Uh, let's go ahead and talk 219 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:58.639 about Hunter Dickinson. I want to talk about how much he struggled, because 220 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:01.879 they talked about on the broadcast, but he had thirteen points in sixteen rebounds 221 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:07.159 in a game that was one of his roughest eye test games of the year. 222 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:09.559 He was bottled up early, didn't score until the last couple of minutes 223 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:13.279 of the first half, but he was dominant on the boards. Was a 224 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.039 huge key in why Kansas was plus seventeen for the game. On the glass, 225 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:18.720 He was six for nine from the floor and played thirty five minutes. 226 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.519 Nick, I think this is about as quote bad of a game as you're 227 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:26.759 gonna get from Hunter Dickinson and thirteen and sixteen. Yeah, I mean, 228 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:33.879 if that's a bad game, then I want to know what a bad game 229 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.480 is for you know, Dewan Harris or somebody. But yeah, just a 230 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:39.480 fantastic's Hunter Dickinson as well. It has just been really good this season, 231 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:43.799 and obviously the stats have kind of decreased in the past few games. I 232 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.200 don't think it's a concern for me. Maybe I could get your thoughts on 233 00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:50.600 that, but just seems like the emergency of akg Adams, Hunter Dickinson's presence 234 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:56.039 hasn't been his services haven't been as important, at least for him to get 235 00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:58.480 twenty and twenty and twenty in a game like he did in earlier this season. 236 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.720 But I think Hudder Dickinson is gonna get as good as fair share of 237 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:07.399 points this season, I say, And Hunter Dickinson is actually the nation's leading 238 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:12.279 rebounder right now of any player, with twelve point six rebounds per game, 239 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:15.919 So yeah, there's not a lot of questioning his rebounding. The thing that 240 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:21.720 I impresses me about Dickinson, and I've said this every show almost is his 241 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:25.720 ability to avoid fouls because he plays so much. In his sophomore year, 242 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:29.440 he averaged three fouls a game in his thirty two minutes, and clearly that 243 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:33.480 was something he needed to touch up well since last year we saw that number 244 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.799 go down to less than two in an increase in minutes, and this year 245 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.960 so far, he's averaging thirty one minutes a game and is averaging even less 246 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:45.039 fouls than ever before, one point six files per game in thirty one minutes, 247 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.879 he's fouling once every fifteen minutes. Like that is for a guy his 248 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.639 size that blocks as many shots as he does, and he has the stamina 249 00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:55.759 to be just as good late in games as he is early. I mean, 250 00:16:55.840 --> 00:17:00.000 he's he's a bulletproof player. He's not perfect, but for a college 251 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.720 basketball player, he is about as as blemish free as you can be. 252 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:07.680 He's seven to he makes threes, he rebounds everything, he makes his free 253 00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.279 throws, he doesn't foul, he's a good defender. I don't know what 254 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:15.359 else you could possibly want him to do. And we're gonna have a lot 255 00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.279 of recaps where we're like, hey, he was great. I feel like 256 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:21.400 we're doing him a disservice by not saying more about him. But what else 257 00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:23.759 can you say? He's just awesome. Here's a question I have for you. 258 00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:30.200 How old do you think Nick Honor actually is twenty four? He's he 259 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:33.240 looks older than twenty four, sir, How old are you are you twenty 260 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.200 three? Yeah, I'm twenty three now. Yeah. No, he's at 261 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:40.839 least eight years older than you. That man's married with three kids. You 262 00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:45.799 can't tell me he's not that guy. Yes, he looks older than Perry 263 00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:48.799 Ellis did when Perry Ellis played basketball. He's got the Sharon Collins body, 264 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.000 and he looks like he's in his mid thirties. It's wild. Maybe I 265 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:56.839 don't know. It's like in the Baby Ye. Maybe they maybe they faked 266 00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.279 his age. Yeah. Yeah. Something that I wish we could face is 267 00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:03.400 a little bit more production out of the two guard because here we are once 268 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:07.640 again and we're doing our once a show two guard conversation. I'm gonna go 269 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.000 get water because I've been shouting about Hunter Nigginson. So I trust you to 270 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:15.640 read this paragraph and take it for at least thirty seconds or so while I 271 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:17.720 go fill up a cup. Go for it, sir, two guards. 272 00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:19.880 Yeah, don't spit out with your water when you hear Nick Timberlake stats skin 273 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:23.359 No, Marco Jackson at eleven points, one rebound, one assist twenty six 274 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:26.599 minutes and he was two for five shooting. None of the other two guards 275 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:30.160 did much. Johnny Furfy didn't score in eight minutes after being pretty solid in 276 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:33.640 the two games before this one, and surprise surprise, Nick Timberlake made an 277 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:37.599 early three but didn't play in the second half, logging a total of six 278 00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.720 minutes. Jamari McDowell continues to barely play, no stats in four minutes. 279 00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:44.519 It's pretty clear at this point it Self was going to ride with Olmarco for 280 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:52.359 the lion's share of these minutes, right, yeah, Ryan's still the refrigerator, 281 00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:56.440 so uh yeah, that's why you don't write rhetorical question That's why I 282 00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:59.759 don't make questions at the end of notes. But I think it. I 283 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:02.839 think self is gonna ride with Malmrco this season. It seems like that's that's 284 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:07.079 what it's trending to be. I think it's weird that Nick Timberlake's just gotten, 285 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.519 you know, completely banished to the bench. We've seen it before in 286 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:12.319 the Bill celf Era. You know, guys that he just doesn't trust, 287 00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:17.359 he's not going to play. Typically it's the older guys he trusts and the 288 00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:21.640 younger guys he doesn't. But apparently he feels comfortable enough with Almarco Jackson as 289 00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:27.640 a freshman over Nick Timberlake. I think that just underscores the just really how 290 00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:32.279 far off Nick Timberlake is from where his game is at. I think it's 291 00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:34.200 really just showing itself in that the fact that Bill Sluff doesn't trust him. 292 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:37.000 So it seems deeper than you know, just a little bit of a shooting 293 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.440 slump. I don't know what you think, Ryan, you made it. 294 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:47.359 You held down the fort while I fill up. We have our refrigerator dispenses 295 00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:51.240 water slower than I can pee, So it is it is. I'm just 296 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:56.839 standing there forever waiting for this moderately average size Austin's bar and grill cup to 297 00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.759 fill up halfway with water. Good y, A good job holding that down. 298 00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:04.519 I'm really conflicted on al Marco Jackson, right, Like, part of 299 00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:08.000 me wants to say, this is a guy who is tabbed to be an 300 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:12.319 immediate starter on the preseason number one team. He's not shooting the ball well, 301 00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:17.400 he's not putting up a lot of stats, and that's just not good 302 00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:21.279 enough because we've seen guys come in that were ranked lower in the recruiting than 303 00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:23.200 he is and be really good. The other part of me wants to say, 304 00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:26.599 this is a kid that's played ten college games, and he's out there 305 00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:30.720 looking perfectly competent for the number one, number two, whatever they are team 306 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:34.759 in the country. That the arrow is pointing straight upward, he's gonna shoot 307 00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:38.359 the ball better. He's an excellent free throw shooter. I don't know what 308 00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:41.440 perspective is the right one to say. I lean more towards the ladder, 309 00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:45.759 and I think he's actually been pretty good, despite the fact that the stats 310 00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:49.160 haven't been that good, at least compared to what we were hoping they would 311 00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:53.359 be. El Marco Jackson on the season is averaging six points, one rebound, 312 00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:56.559 three assists, and is shooting thirty eight percent from the floor but ninety 313 00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:00.759 two percent from the line. I think Arco Jackson's in to improve quite a 314 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:03.400 bit throughout the course of the season, and there's no doubt that that would 315 00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.920 be the best outcome, because none of these other guys are going to consistently 316 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:11.519 put forth quality performances for you to feel really good about what happens when he 317 00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:15.079 goes to the bench and Jamary McDowell, what the heck is going on there? 318 00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:19.559 Like? Is this just like we were concerned about Johnny Furfey getting freshman's 319 00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:23.160 fee mkay looked. It actually looks like it might be McDowell because after playing 320 00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:29.279 like twenty seven minutes against Tennessee and being good in that game, Jamari McDowell 321 00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:33.440 hasn't played much at all. Here are his minutes since playing twenty seven against 322 00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:37.039 a top ten Tennessee team eight five four. What gives? Why do you 323 00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:41.440 think he's played so much less hasn't made a basket since then either. Yeah, 324 00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:44.519 I don't know. They probably goes back to the Bill selph as his 325 00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:48.599 guys and his rotation figured out, but it is very odd, and I 326 00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:52.079 think self knows that, you know, Almarco Jackson's not going to turn into 327 00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:56.960 Zion Williamson or anything. But I think Bill self knows that Almarco Jackson hitting 328 00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:02.519 his ceiling gives Kansas the best chance to reeve theirs. Furfey is limited as 329 00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:04.839 a freshman. He can make you some threes, but you're not gonna reach 330 00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:10.880 your maximum ceiling by playing Johnny Furfey more than Almarco Jackson. So yeah, 331 00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:14.279 I think that they have to ride with Jackson, and he has all the 332 00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:17.839 tools of a guy who you know, if he's not a one and done, 333 00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:21.480 is he gonna be like a Wayne Selden where he has three very good 334 00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:26.680 years at Kansas but never quite lives up to that McDonald's all American hype. 335 00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:30.279 Or is he gonna be a guy that explodes as a sophomore and we're like, 336 00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:33.240 oh, there it is. Or could he be a little like Josh 337 00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:37.400 Jackson who was good in his first few games, But Josh Jackson wasn't a 338 00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:41.880 well oiled, polished machine in his first few games. It really wasn't until 339 00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:47.160 early January when we started to see all of that shine. Yeah, no, 340 00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:51.680 I hardly agree with that. He's his own player and we'll see, 341 00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:56.319 but yeah, at this point and Timberlake at I'm kind of done hoping in 342 00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:59.880 that one. It can't get worse, but I'll he's got to show me 343 00:22:59.920 --> 00:23:03.720 something before it can get worse, says Tyan Grant Foster. That's true. 344 00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:07.839 He's already made more threes on the season than Tyon made in his and Tyan's 345 00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:11.119 a good player now, like you would trade him. You would absolutely trade 346 00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:15.240 Nick Timberlake for Tyan Grant Foster right now. Absolutely. That's weird, weird, 347 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:18.920 weird that we'd be saying that. But so you mentioned at the beginning 348 00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.400 of the podcast that Kansas has underwhelmed you a little bit shooting threes and I 349 00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:26.759 don't know if they are a percentage has been as frustrating as the number of 350 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:30.559 attempts, because I think they need to take more of them. Yeah, 351 00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:33.680 it's a number of tymps for sure. Like the right, the percentage obviously 352 00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:34.920 is a lower VOWE and that's why it looks a little bit higher than it 353 00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:40.400 actually probably would be. But the volume is very low for sure. Yeah, 354 00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:42.559 in this game, Kansas took forty six twos against just ten threes. 355 00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:47.680 And Kansas is the number one team in the country and field goal percentage, 356 00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:51.319 so a lot of that's clearly coming from Hunter Dickinson in the two point where 357 00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:53.319 kJ Adams is also shooting like seventy five percent from the floor, so that's 358 00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:56.559 a big part of it. But Kansas is shooting thirty eight percent from three, 359 00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.160 which is top forty nationally, and we don't have a very big sample 360 00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:03.359 size yet either. Normally there's a lot of teams that shoot higher than that. 361 00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:08.279 And yeah, it's just one of those times where I think that they 362 00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:11.839 need to be taking more threes than they are. And you know, their 363 00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:14.799 ranked first overall in field goal percentage. It feels like they could be taking 364 00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:18.839 more threes, especially if the guys like Kevin mccull a going to continue to 365 00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:21.680 shoot it hot. As of late, only one one for four in this 366 00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:26.480 game, but yeah, I'd like to see him taking one. Yeah. 367 00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:30.359 Yeah, Dickinson's gone just fine shooting the ball. And I think Timberlake needs 368 00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:34.160 to take four or five threes a game. I think he needs to play 369 00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:38.960 enough minutes to be able to take. He's not playing the second half of 370 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:42.920 games, so it's not doing that. But like, it'd be nice if 371 00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:47.480 if we could see him get enough minutes to take four or five threes and 372 00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:48.960 we'll see if that can get him going. I guess I don't know a 373 00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:52.960 guy that is going to play plenty of minutes. Kevin mccullor tell me about 374 00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.680 the other guy that scored seventeen points. Yep, he is good as usual, 375 00:24:56.720 --> 00:24:59.680 tie the team for the team lead in points with seventeen, but he's 376 00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:03.319 only four baskets in this game, going four to fifteen from the floor. 377 00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:07.039 McClure was eight for nine from the line to Pattis totals, and added nine 378 00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:10.960 rebounds for assists. Three steals in his thirty nine minutes. Not much analyze 379 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:12.720 here. Obviously, one of the fifteen best players in college basketball. In 380 00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:17.680 a down game for him turns into seventeen points. Have anything to add about 381 00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:22.039 him or has he just been phenomenal in your eyes? Nope, he's just 382 00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:26.119 been really, really good. Just a clutch baller who I would take on 383 00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:29.440 my team any day of the week. Also, Kevin mccullor is a first 384 00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:34.440 class trash talker. He would be an All Big twelve trash talking player because 385 00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:37.400 he knows how to get under people's skin. He kind of started that whole 386 00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:42.680 Marquette squirmish in Maui that we saw, and he was doing all sorts of 387 00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:47.400 talking to Missouri's bench. Had that really high basketball i Q play where he 388 00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:51.559 totally baited the Missouri defender into fouling him on that three point shot right before 389 00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:55.240 halftime. Yeah, you knew Kansas wasn't losing at that point. All right, 390 00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:57.839 Let's talk about Jwane Harris. Feels like every to one Harris recap sans 391 00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:03.039 Kentucky has been the exact eight points, five assists, four steals, forty 392 00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:07.200 minutes, didn't sit down, played a lot, he was three for six 393 00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:10.200 shooting. Is there anything really to analyze here? We're ten games into the 394 00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:14.720 Dewan Harris senior year and he's only scored more than eight points once. Yeah, 395 00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:18.839 I think the stat line is just the points particularly just haven't been as 396 00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:22.720 high as they should be for a Dewan Harrison another season at Kansas, they 397 00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:26.960 just haven't. And I know I've gone on a I've gone on my own 398 00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:30.880 monologue about this before, but you know, people disagree. People think that 399 00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:33.960 the intangibles and the defense and the assists and stuff or are good enough. 400 00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.599 But you know, when you're looking at this team, kind of scoring is 401 00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:41.039 kind of tapered off a little bit. You know, those two ninety nine 402 00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:44.359 point games and the eighty nine against Kentucky. Now they're not scoring more than 403 00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:47.160 seventy and much many of these games. I think some of that's going to 404 00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:51.279 be attributed to the lack of scoring from Dewan Harris. So I'm not saying 405 00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:53.480 as a bad shooter, either increase your volume, dude, shoot more shots 406 00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:56.480 like you can be more on, you can be more selfish with the basketball. 407 00:26:57.519 --> 00:27:03.079 I just checked the asset. I just checked the asscarcbs. Nick, 408 00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:07.319 you're a popular man here prepared to answer a lot of food questions and about 409 00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:10.720 chicken. People apparently have picked up on the fact that you are a chicken 410 00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:12.680 tender critic. It's gonna be good. Okay, let me ask you Dewan 411 00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:18.039 Harris question. Would you say that Dewan Harris has been better than his stats 412 00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:21.559 this year? Is he passing the eye test? No? No? Okay? 413 00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:26.200 Interesting? All right? See, I think he's I think he's looked 414 00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:30.720 better. If I watched all of his games and then you asked me to 415 00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:33.960 guess what he's averaging, I think I would be surprised at how low some 416 00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:38.240 of his stats are. He feels like a guy that's averaging about eight points 417 00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:42.640 while shooting better than the thirty three percent or whatever he is from the floor. 418 00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:47.759 I also have full confidence Dwan Harris is going to get better. I 419 00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:52.400 think Dwan Harris is going to get better. We've seen enough of him to 420 00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:56.240 know that these sample sizes are small. He should shoot the ball better, 421 00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:00.960 he should draw more contact, and he should clean up the turnovers. As 422 00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:04.559 he gets more familiar throw into these teammates. That's the way I see it. 423 00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:08.240 Until then, there's really not a whole lot we can truthfully analyze. 424 00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:12.680 But he hasn't been as good through ten games as we expected him to. 425 00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:18.279 I think he's been better than what the stats show, but I don't think 426 00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:22.440 that he's been as good as we expected. kJ has picked up some of 427 00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:25.359 that slack by being better than we thought. That's why they're still nine to 428 00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:29.400 one. But yes, Dwan Harris needs to be better than he has been 429 00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:33.799 in these last ten games for Kansas to get better over their next ten games. 430 00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:37.440 There's not much to say here about Parker Brown, who and that's not 431 00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:40.880 us insulting him because he did good things in his five minutes. He had 432 00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:44.720 two baskets and two blocks. He was good. Somebody tweeted at me that 433 00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:47.480 he was the best big in the game, and okay, that's a little 434 00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:52.319 strong. He wasn't he. Hunter Dickinson on one leg would be better than 435 00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:56.319 Parker Brown. But that's no fault of Parker's. That's just Hunter being good. 436 00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:00.160 The only other takeaway I have to say is can they show his mom 437 00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:08.279 more? Yeah? That's so bad? Like that you you and Landon were 438 00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:12.480 funning over, that's for sure. Oh Man, Whenever they showed whenever they 439 00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:18.680 showed the Brown mom, it was like, uh, my cousin followed her 440 00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:22.680 on Instagram year old, I would too, I would too if I find 441 00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.839 her Instagram, Yes, I will do that because just yes, yes is 442 00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:30.440 the answer. Overall, this is a pretty short recap. The game was 443 00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:33.400 a week ago. Uh, but I don't really feel like like every year. 444 00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:37.000 It feels like there's about five of these games a year. There really 445 00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:41.160 isn't a lot to take away from. Nobody has a huge statistical performance, 446 00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:45.759 nobody stands out for being awful, and they win a game that they were 447 00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:51.680 expected to win by fifteen ish by ten. We chalk it up in the 448 00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:55.319 win column and we're like, we didn't really learn anything. We didn't really 449 00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:59.799 find out anything that leaves us scared, but we didn't really learn anything about 450 00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:03.240 the team. Is that just kind of what this game is? Yeah? 451 00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:07.279 I think so that that's been kind of the trend of this season, hasn't 452 00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:11.119 it. I feel like there's been a couple of games we've learned some stuff 453 00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:17.359 about the team, but certainly recently like the Eastern Illinois and the UMKC and 454 00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:21.519 the Missouri games three the last four, I don't feel like I've learned anything 455 00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:25.559 positive or negative about this team. But I do think that we're gon we're 456 00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:29.240 gonna be saying I don't think we're gonna be saying that after playing Indiana on 457 00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:32.039 the road and then we get to see how they are right before Christmas and 458 00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:34.480 then conference play right after that. We only have three more non conference games 459 00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:40.200 on Kansas's schedule before we get to before we get to the TCU conference opener. 460 00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:44.599 So forty five percent from the floor, thirty percent from three to eighty 461 00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:47.680 seven percent of the line. They shot the ball very well from free throw 462 00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:49.480 line in this game. That was good to see. Plus seventeen on the 463 00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:55.480 glass is dominant. Kansas did have sixteen turnovers, which that's a consistent problem. 464 00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:59.240 Stop doing that, especially in a team that doesn't force very many of 465 00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:03.799 them. Geezh. Overall quality showing from Kansas. They don't get an A, 466 00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:07.440 they don't get an F you know, a B minus game. They 467 00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:11.960 coasted to a win over good team that's gonna win twenty games. Like that's 468 00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:15.799 that feels fine. I wouldn't say Missouri is gonna win twenty games guaranteed, 469 00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:19.359 but you knowlin, Missouri's gonna get to twenty. I mean they already have 470 00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:25.440 what seven then it probably will. Like, let's take a look, Missouri 471 00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:29.240 has seven wins. They're seven and three right now. I don't know how 472 00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:32.400 it's not eight because they lost to Jackson State. They play Seaton Hall at 473 00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:36.000 home. They should win that game. That's on Sunday. Then they play 474 00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:38.279 Illinois. That's gonna be a tough one that if they beat Illinois maybe and 475 00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:42.559 then Central Arkansas so and then Georgia to open SEZ play, So they're gonna 476 00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:45.480 have ten wins by the time they start that, and then yeah, can 477 00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:51.839 they get Can they play ten and seven? Ten and six sec ball? 478 00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:56.400 I think so. I don't know, twenty maybe. I think they're a 479 00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:59.720 solid team. I don't think they're that Ken Palm had him at like eighty 480 00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:00.839 into this game, Like, I think they're better than that. I think 481 00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:06.480 they're like probably fifty fifty five somewhere like that. Whatever nine seeds kind of 482 00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:09.440 what I get from Missouri. Any other takeaways on this game. I don't 483 00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:14.440 think so turnovers are bad though, Yeah, the turnovers are bad. From 484 00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:16.559 that perspective, you could say that we don't know what we're doing, but 485 00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:21.279 we'll we'll definitely hopefully get a little bit better with that. As the season 486 00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:28.839 goes along other games, which, of course, if you know by now, 487 00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:32.880 begins with Big Twelve games. Well, Nick, it was a Saturday, 488 00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:36.839 bloody Saturday for a lot of the teams in the Big Twelve that walked 489 00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:40.599 in with undefeated records, because not very many of them walked out with undefeated 490 00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:46.119 or winning whatever undefeated. Not many of the undefeated teams entering Saturday escaped Saturday 491 00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:51.960 still undefeated. Yeah, three Big twelve teams lost for the first time this 492 00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:55.079 weekend, BUYU, Cincinnati, and TCU. Beginning with number fourteen BUYU, 493 00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:59.759 the Cougars were number two in the net and they fell at Utah seventy three 494 00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:01.720 to sixty nine. That second number is not allowed in Utah. I don't 495 00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:06.720 know how that got a statue. The Couter's picked up picked to finish thirteenth 496 00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:08.160 of the Big Twelve seat at eight and one, with wins over San Diego 497 00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:12.640 State, Arizona State, and North Carolina State. What's their that look like 498 00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:16.000 going to the Conference Bay. I think they're better than we thought. Also, 499 00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:20.960 they're new to the Big Twelve. BYU is one of those teams that 500 00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:24.160 actually seems to hold their own over the years despite playing in a horrible league. 501 00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:30.440 So I think that they'll be a little more acclimated than like a UCF 502 00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:35.119 will to this conference. But I also think that they're gonna have their growing 503 00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:37.039 pains. I don't think that they're gonna finish top half in the Big twelve. 504 00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:40.160 And they're currently number three in the net. They were too, as 505 00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:44.440 you said, they're three. Now, that's pretty ridiculous. Give me a 506 00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:46.240 give me a break. North Dakota State's probably like two in the net. 507 00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:51.240 Hey, after what happens. Yeah, they they did have a performance worth 508 00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:52.559 mentioning. We're gonna get to that, but yeah, it would surprise me 509 00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:58.039 if they collimbed to the ranks. Also falling from the ranks of the unbeaten 510 00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:02.279 was TCU. The Horny Frogs lost seventy four to sixty six, too and 511 00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:07.880 Toronto to number twenty four Clemson, who is a quality opponent. But still 512 00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:10.840 TCU had beaten absolutely nobody and this was their first chance to beat a quality 513 00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:15.119 opponent and they didn't do it. The horn Frogs finally played a team of 514 00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:20.639 the pulse, couldn't get it done. Ernest Dowdey has four baskets made in 515 00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:25.559 eight games. The grass is not always Greener. Why were they playing basketball 516 00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:30.800 in Canada? Well, the Alabama game was up there because of Zach Eay's 517 00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:36.920 homecoming. But I don't know how TCU and Clemson got into this great question. 518 00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:40.360 TCU has played games in Puerto Rico and Hawaii and stuff every year, 519 00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:44.000 and now they were in Toronto. I don't know. If you were in 520 00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:46.360 Toronto, I don't know if you'd want to watch Clemson tc basketball. But 521 00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:51.159 there were people in the stands, so someone did. I'm surprised they could 522 00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:55.079 afford the tickets with how expensive it is to live in Canada. But pressing 523 00:34:55.079 --> 00:35:00.039 was number nineteen Oklahoma. They handed Arkansas, handled Arkansas in a game that 524 00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:04.880 Eric Musselman got ejected from. He did not take his shirt off, at 525 00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:09.719 least not for the rep from night from seventy nine to seventy wins, reaching 526 00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:13.320 nine and on the season, the Sooners are now in the top fifteen, 527 00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:16.400 have one of the country's best overall offenses, particularly inside. Their next big 528 00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:21.599 test is next week against North Carolina. I wish I had a yawn sound 529 00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:27.000 on the board, because that's how overwhelmed I am and intimidated I am by 530 00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:32.079 Porter Moser's Oklahoma team. Okay, so they're nine to zero, so they 531 00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:37.199 beat Arkansas, They're going seven and ten and Big twelve play and we're gonna 532 00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:40.599 be like, yep, that's Porter Moser for you. I could not. 533 00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:46.079 I don't give a flip about Oklahoma, and I maybe I'll be wrong at 534 00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:50.880 the end of the year if they wind up being something, but sure, 535 00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:54.480 bring up, bring on Oklahoma another team. I'm not particular intimidated by is 536 00:35:54.960 --> 00:36:00.599 Ima bitches because Kansas State is somehow, I don't know how. They're eight 537 00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:05.800 and two overall. They keep winning, So here you go. They went 538 00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:08.480 on the road to LSU and one easily seventy five to sixty. Overcame a 539 00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:13.880 big Tiger run in that game to win. The Wildcats dominated the glass. 540 00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:17.360 They got seventeen and eleven from Arthur Kaluma, who probably is their best player 541 00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:22.320 at this point other than Tyler Perry. Jerome Tang's team is eight and zero 542 00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:28.000 against unranked teams and oh and two against rank ones. I spy a trend. 543 00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:32.679 KSE State or Oklahoma who wins more Big twelve games? Oklahoma? K 544 00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:39.559 State or BYU who wins more Big twelve games? Ky State? Yeah? 545 00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:43.320 I think you're right. I don't think you run on Oklahoma. I will 546 00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:46.519 take KSE State winning more games than the Oklahoma Stingers this year. I think 547 00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:50.760 they're better coached, and I think they have a better player than anybody that 548 00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:54.360 the Stoniers have. Whatever. They also have a tougher building, like they're 549 00:36:54.400 --> 00:37:00.440 gonna win against good teams at Bramblench. Oklahoma has no home court atmosphere at 550 00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:07.199 all. It's true. And then rounding out the Big twelve, Cincinnati lost 551 00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:09.440 to Xavier, UCF lost at home to Ole Miss. West Virginia barely beat 552 00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:13.920 Drexel at home by six, and at least I was State one big. 553 00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:19.880 They played Prairie View A and M and maybe by fifty one. That game 554 00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:22.320 shouldn't count. You should not be allowed to count that game. A degree 555 00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:28.360 at Prairie View A and M University shouldn't count. Also true is what are 556 00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:31.840 there? What is Prairie View A and M's mascot? Do you know it? 557 00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:35.760 It's a Panthers? I think where are they? Do you know where 558 00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:38.519 they're located? Texas? I think Prairie View, Texas. That's correct, 559 00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:42.480 they are. Wow, you crushed both of those things. That's unbelievable. 560 00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:46.960 I think they are there. I think they're a historically black college and university. 561 00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:51.360 I think so maybe Iowa State got a big check for hosting them or 562 00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:53.519 whatever, because that's that's like. I know teams are being incentivized to do 563 00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:58.119 that now, but I think Prairie View A and M is better than the 564 00:37:58.159 --> 00:38:02.760 Los Angeles Chargers because crap, one of the most not safe for work football 565 00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:07.639 games of all time is on. I always look FORID to doing Thursday night 566 00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:10.320 podcasts because I like having the football game on and being entertained. While being 567 00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:15.440 entertained, and this is just the Raiders have fifty six points in three quarters. 568 00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:17.599 Yes, that was big twelve standing. Let's go on to other games. 569 00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:22.159 There's a lot of information here. The most impressive showing of the weekend 570 00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:28.440 belonged to Number one Arizona, who absolutely wall up twenty third rank Wisconsin at 571 00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:30.920 home, ninety eight to seventy three. Somebody said that's the most points Wisconsin's 572 00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:35.760 given up in twenty five years. All five Wildcats scored in double figures, 573 00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:40.360 including Caleb Love who had twenty points. Arizona's next test will be likely a 574 00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:46.639 showdown for the number one ranking with Purdue, who also won an impressive fashion 575 00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:51.280 I number four. Purdue came from behind to take down Alabama ninety two to 576 00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:54.360 eighty six in Toronto. Zach Eedy had thirty five points and drew ten different 577 00:38:54.400 --> 00:39:00.639 fouls. Ah meanwhile, was nineteen for forty six for three more threes than 578 00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:04.480 KU's made all season. They're two for five from two in the first half. 579 00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:08.440 Yeah. So Nate Oates always has been a coach that likes to rely 580 00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:12.280 on the three point shot, and it's very clear in this game. He 581 00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:14.400 said, all right, here's how it's gonna work. You get a runout 582 00:39:14.519 --> 00:39:17.000 sweet anything else, shoot three. You're going against Zach Edy, why even 583 00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:22.840 try? And it almost worked. Alabama shot the ball very well. Yeah, 584 00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:25.159 and like they were, they tailed off at the end too. They 585 00:39:25.159 --> 00:39:30.639 were like sixteen for thirty four for a while and then just got really cold 586 00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:34.880 when Perdue made their push. So Purdue is now three, Arizona's one. 587 00:39:34.960 --> 00:39:38.199 Obviously, Kansas is in the middle there. Kansas can beat Indiana all they 588 00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:43.679 want. The winner of that Perdue and Arizona game is likely going to be 589 00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:47.000 one. So if Purdue upsets Arizona takes down number one, I don't think 590 00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:50.400 Kansas is going to move to number one. Even with a win. And 591 00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:54.000 that's fine, but just I feel like nobody gets leapt at number two for 592 00:39:54.039 --> 00:39:59.079 the number one ranking more than the Jayhawks do. The highest ranked team to 593 00:39:59.159 --> 00:40:01.480 lose a team, it's very familiar with being number one, number seven right 594 00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:06.800 now Gonzaga who shockingly and I may need you to sit down before I dropped 595 00:40:06.800 --> 00:40:14.519 this bombshell on you might be overrated. The Bulldogs lost to Washington in Seattle, 596 00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:19.679 seventy eight, seventy three. Plenty of national championship contenders lose to Washington, 597 00:40:19.719 --> 00:40:22.960 Guys, nothing that feels stressed about. After scoring three points over the 598 00:40:23.039 --> 00:40:28.000 last seven minutes of the game. They did bounce back and take out their 599 00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:35.079 frustrations by beating oh and ten Mississippi Valley State by thirty eight two days later. 600 00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:39.599 You good for you, Gonzaga getting ready for conference play? Uh yeah, 601 00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:43.760 and Land and get your old Mary voice out. Oh he's not here. 602 00:40:44.159 --> 00:40:46.559 That's so sad. At least we have a reboard though. Oh may 603 00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:51.960 there we go. The gals beat number thirteen Colorado State on the road, 604 00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:57.840 sixty four to sixty one. I have a a non ranked team, fact, 605 00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:02.440 and that is Michigan State. Holy Mother of God, Michigan State sucks 606 00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:07.880 ass. That team was number five in the preseason polls or four whatever, 607 00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:15.280 and they are four and five on the season. They lost to Nebrasketball the 608 00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:20.639 other day, the team that we were laughing about for being an illegitimate wasteland 609 00:41:20.679 --> 00:41:24.639 of talent, and they beat Michigan State by seven at home. Oh my 610 00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:29.480 gosh, tom Izzo, this is a firebale offense. What you have done 611 00:41:29.559 --> 00:41:37.039 to this very talented roster. That's pretty embarrassing. And then what's also embarrassing 612 00:41:37.159 --> 00:41:43.639 is that Landon picked Pen to beat Kentucky. He did. Yeah, yeah, 613 00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:47.639 that's really really embarrassing, and they in fact did not win Penn loss 614 00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:52.679 by fifteen. That is why Landon will never win a pick'm race. And 615 00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:57.400 number eight Creighton took a surprising loss to a four lost UNLV team on the 616 00:41:57.480 --> 00:42:01.360 road, losing seventy nine to sixty four. Cool to see that UNLV was 617 00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:06.400 able to rally behind their school. I guess, yeah, this happened after 618 00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:08.079 the shooting, right, Yes, it just happened the other day, correct. 619 00:42:08.280 --> 00:42:12.280 Yeah, So the Blue Jays already have twenty one and fifteen point losses 620 00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:15.239 on the resume, but they'll inevitably clean it all up in time to make 621 00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:17.800 twelve threes against the five seed on the Jayhawks, and this year Sweet sixteen 622 00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:22.079 got to play him again in the tournament. Yeah, want no part of 623 00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:25.840 that. Creighton could enter the NCAA tournament ozer and thirty one and I would 624 00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:31.000 not want any part of that roster. Here is now, guys. We 625 00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:37.199 like to do this thing on the show where we talk about hilarious teams that 626 00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:43.119 come into top dogs and get blown out in non conference play, like Mississippi 627 00:42:43.280 --> 00:42:47.360 University for women for example. But what we saw this last week is one 628 00:42:47.360 --> 00:42:54.239 of the all time to never be topped sad scores that this sport will ever 629 00:42:54.320 --> 00:43:00.360 see. The North Dakota State Bison, who you've heard of, they've played 630 00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:07.079 in Allen Fieldhouse before they are a established D one school, was somehow allowed 631 00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:13.440 to play and count as a win a game against Oak Hill Christian College, 632 00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:19.039 which, per Rock Chalk Blog follower and ask RCB question asker at Elliott Ruson 633 00:43:19.079 --> 00:43:24.920 Age, is a couple of tears below Juco in something called the Niac. 634 00:43:27.079 --> 00:43:31.840 The final score of this game, sir, was one hundred and eight to 635 00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:40.480 fourteen. Okay, that's also what I want to talk about because you always 636 00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:45.440 tell me that the five inside the paint host could score five points on the 637 00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:53.760 Jayhawks. What this actual college team couldn't get to fifteen against North Dakota State, 638 00:43:54.360 --> 00:44:01.320 and you think us boobs are getting anything except for region against the Jayhawks. 639 00:44:01.639 --> 00:44:04.760 I'm saying, if we could beat this team, I think we could 640 00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:09.400 could hang thirty on this duco team. I do not know, for the 641 00:44:09.559 --> 00:44:15.480 life of me, how you are allowed, when record matters, to count 642 00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:19.679 a game against oh Kill Christian College, which is at least four or five 643 00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:24.400 levels below yours. That is unbelievable. What are we doing here in college? 644 00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:28.920 What was the what was the hold on? Okay, I gotta find 645 00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:31.079 some information on the oh Here's what the box score looks like. Actually, 646 00:44:31.079 --> 00:44:36.440 I actually did do some notes. North Dakota State's opponent, oh Kill Christian 647 00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:42.920 College shot twelve percent from the floor, one for twenty on threes, twenty 648 00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:50.400 three turnovers, six baskets, and two assists. Guess how many Guess how 649 00:44:50.400 --> 00:44:55.880 many students are enrolled at this this so called school. One hundred and three, 650 00:44:57.840 --> 00:45:00.679 one hundred and three, and that it's more than my graduating class in 651 00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:06.800 high school. That is exactly one hundred more than this team had players score 652 00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:10.440 in this game, which is three three players scored a point for this this 653 00:45:10.599 --> 00:45:15.800 hey, three percent of the university had a basket in this game. That's 654 00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:19.719 true. Yeah, I'm looking at what the score. My god, it 655 00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:25.679 was it was. It was sixty to five at halftime. That's sixty to 656 00:45:25.760 --> 00:45:31.159 five. It was sixty to five, and it was actually, amazingly it 657 00:45:31.199 --> 00:45:37.559 was two to two at one point it was even. This team has wins 658 00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:45.519 though they'd beat six Sister Cisyton whap weep Eton College ninety to eighty eight. 659 00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:57.599 I'm not kidding. Cytonton College, Cyton c Seaton would beat us by a 660 00:45:57.679 --> 00:46:00.679 million, and they would lose to Kansas by a million and a half. 661 00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:04.559 Oh who else they beat? They also beat uh No, they beat sissy 662 00:46:04.599 --> 00:46:07.800 Ton twice. That's their two wins Landon. I'm sad that you missed the 663 00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:12.320 podcast for a few reasons, but no bigger than the fact that you they 664 00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:15.440 lost. Laugh at this. They lost by one hundred points the Valley City 665 00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:22.199 State University one hundred. They lost by one hundred, one hundred and thirty 666 00:46:22.239 --> 00:46:29.280 one to thirty nine. So pretty much that's about what the score of this 667 00:46:29.480 --> 00:46:34.039 Raiders Chargers game is so the Chargers are current. The Raiders are currently beating 668 00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:38.079 the Chargers sixty three to seven, and at one point the North Dakota State 669 00:46:38.199 --> 00:46:44.320 Oak Hill Christian College game was sixty two to seven, so pretty close all 670 00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:46.880 things considered. Wow, that is that is just amazing. And on a 671 00:46:46.960 --> 00:46:51.280 day where we had all this excitement. At number twenty two, Duke played 672 00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:58.559 Charlotte, which is a girl's name, not a college at Cameron ass embarrassing 673 00:46:59.199 --> 00:47:02.840 ranked teams to lose since the last time we did a podcast. Number seven 674 00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:08.320 Gonzaga lost to the Huskies of Washington. Number eight Creighton lost to UNLV. 675 00:47:09.159 --> 00:47:15.480 Number thirteen Colorado State lost to a horrible Saint Mary's team. Number fourteen BUYU 676 00:47:15.679 --> 00:47:21.639 lost to Utah. Number twenty Illinois lost a good game to Tennessee, and 677 00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:25.519 number twenty five twenty three Wisconsin lost to Arizona. We didn't talk about Illinois 678 00:47:25.559 --> 00:47:29.719 Tennessee because it was kind of how expected. Tennessee got a nice win, 679 00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:31.880 and Illinois, I think is pretty good. I think Illinois is probably the 680 00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:35.840 second best team in the Big Ten. And also number twenty four, oh 681 00:47:35.920 --> 00:47:38.440 Kill Christian College just gidding. Twenty four is way higher than the number of 682 00:47:38.480 --> 00:47:43.079 points that they scored. That's a joke I should have made. I should 683 00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:45.559 have said. And number fourteen, oh kill Christian College. Oh wait, 684 00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:50.079 that's not their ranking, that's the number of points that they scored. Lost 685 00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:57.400 by ninety two. North Dakota State legitimately cannot believe that counts. That should 686 00:47:57.519 --> 00:48:00.960 never count. Just scrimmage against yourself at that point, you can't tell me 687 00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:09.000 that's not worse. Somebody on somebody on Twitter was comparing Oak Hill Christian College 688 00:48:09.119 --> 00:48:14.440 to College of the Ozarks in Branson, like that level of college, college 689 00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:17.760 of the more of a legitimate university. Oh yeah, College of the Ozarks 690 00:48:17.880 --> 00:48:22.880 is n ai A, which is ahead of ni A C. Like like, 691 00:48:22.079 --> 00:48:27.280 geez, that's that's that's the difference between a five A high school team 692 00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:30.440 and a two A team. That's horrible, not horrible, though, Nick, 693 00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:32.840 your pick'am score. Yeah no, that's actually been pretty good. 694 00:48:35.079 --> 00:48:37.400 Let's do ask RCB. You guys had one hour to get questions in and 695 00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:40.719 you did a pretty good job. We got double digits. Here here we 696 00:48:40.880 --> 00:48:45.960 go. So Nick, you are a popular man in the questions today at 697 00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:49.320 k Tweets and News says this is more of a statement. Nick reminds me 698 00:48:49.440 --> 00:48:53.360 of an old man. He hates things for seemingly no reason, like lemonade, 699 00:48:53.840 --> 00:48:59.320 just based on contrarian boomer vibes. How old are you actually, sir? 700 00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:04.599 Uh? Sixty three now that checks out. Sixty three, by the 701 00:49:04.599 --> 00:49:08.039 way, is forty nine more points than oak Kill Christian College scored against North 702 00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:13.400 Dakota State. Uh kay, tweets the news just going right at at where 703 00:49:13.440 --> 00:49:21.800 do Sprint centered chicken tenders rank on your list? On what scale of vomit 704 00:49:21.920 --> 00:49:28.840 inducing diarrhea is between Taco Bell and the Sprint Center's chicken? Oh? Man, 705 00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:32.079 I would rather eat a literal cat turd at this point than eat those 706 00:49:32.159 --> 00:49:36.079 chicken tenders from the Sprint Center again. And I don't even think I'm kidding 707 00:49:38.280 --> 00:49:42.760 gross Uh yeah, Landon got sicker than I did. I didn't eat as 708 00:49:42.840 --> 00:49:46.119 much, and and we weren't that sick like we we had upset tummies for 709 00:49:46.159 --> 00:49:49.719 a little bit. It's not like we were in the hospital. You ever 710 00:49:49.800 --> 00:49:52.840 said the word tunny tummy again? That's an ick word? Is it really 711 00:49:52.960 --> 00:49:55.840 that? That's your ick word? I don't like tummy. It just sounds 712 00:49:55.920 --> 00:50:00.360 like juvenile to me, like okay, like you're talking about Toddler. Look 713 00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:02.480 there's an old man take for you at K. He doesn't like that one. 714 00:50:04.599 --> 00:50:07.159 Yeah, you're full of them, right. What would the botto god 715 00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:12.920 this question? I can see the horror in this question, and I haven't 716 00:50:12.920 --> 00:50:17.880 even asked yet. What would the podcast look like if if KU basketball mirrored 717 00:50:19.000 --> 00:50:23.480 current day Royals baseball? Holy Sweet Jesus, it would be all A lot 718 00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:28.920 of the probably be off the air. Yeah, no, it would be 719 00:50:29.039 --> 00:50:31.079 quite bad. I would not want to get on here every single show and 720 00:50:31.199 --> 00:50:37.119 scream Jordan Lyles for being so bad. The Royals are spending a little bit 721 00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:40.159 of money right now and it's actually nice. Maybe they'll maybe they won't lose. 722 00:50:40.719 --> 00:50:45.679 Uh. Then, did you hear about how the stupid baseball lottery worked? 723 00:50:47.559 --> 00:50:52.440 No, I don't. I don't understand pro baseball so used to work 724 00:50:52.519 --> 00:50:55.639 pretty simple baseball. The MLB draft order used to be reverse order of record, 725 00:50:55.679 --> 00:50:59.880 the worst record picked first. Well, they decided that they were going 726 00:50:59.920 --> 00:51:04.599 to start doing because everything Rob Manfred, the Commissioner of Baseball touches turns to 727 00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:08.440 hell. As nick Is posted the picture of the I'm assuming the Oak Hill 728 00:51:08.519 --> 00:51:15.079 Christian College basketball team and they look like sixth graders. Is this homeschool league? 729 00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:20.360 I can't believe they scored fourteen if we're being honest, like I really 730 00:51:20.440 --> 00:51:25.119 can't. But anyways, so so baseball the other a couple of years ago 731 00:51:25.199 --> 00:51:30.360 decided that they were going to try to discourage tanking. They were gonna do 732 00:51:30.400 --> 00:51:34.039 what the NBA does, which is they're going to change to a lottery system. 733 00:51:34.519 --> 00:51:37.679 And the Royals, who finished with the second worst record, are picking 734 00:51:37.960 --> 00:51:43.960 sixth in the draft because they got screwed in the lottery. There are the 735 00:51:44.079 --> 00:51:49.639 Royals lost a franchise record one hundred and six games last year, and they 736 00:51:49.880 --> 00:51:53.559 are the third team to draft in their own division because of this lottery. 737 00:51:55.000 --> 00:51:59.280 That's crazy. So yes, if it was, we would have had a 738 00:51:59.719 --> 00:52:05.480 full on. Kansas lost the TCU again sore a meltdown podcast After that, 739 00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:09.280 at Ari Norell underscore the third Do you guys like, how k you match 740 00:52:09.360 --> 00:52:13.920 us up with Indiana? I think Kansas and Indiana's big are a wash, 741 00:52:14.199 --> 00:52:16.320 but k you should have a sizeable advantage in the back ord A special or 742 00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:21.000 of Xavier Johnson doesn't go for the Hosiers. Indiana doesn't attempt a ton of 743 00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:23.559 threes later. I'm gonna save that question for the end because that is actually 744 00:52:23.960 --> 00:52:28.159 very similar to the analysis that I plan on bringing to the table in about 745 00:52:28.199 --> 00:52:31.360 fifteen minutes. Whenever we talk about that game at cam Lippolt Golf, you 746 00:52:31.440 --> 00:52:34.760 know, whenever Cam pops in here, Nick, You're always gonna have a 747 00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:37.719 question. That's uh, they got the arrow pointed at you. What is 748 00:52:37.800 --> 00:52:43.840 the Vegas line on Nick dating a woman with a tattoo? You can't get 749 00:52:43.880 --> 00:52:47.599 odds on that? Yeah, plus ten million better than the odds that the 750 00:52:47.800 --> 00:52:52.960 Chargers are going to come back and win At this point, I mean, 751 00:52:52.039 --> 00:52:55.280 the odds the Charger are gonna come back to win are pretty low. Right, 752 00:52:55.760 --> 00:53:00.800 Oh, I met worse worse than those odds, which is wrong? 753 00:53:00.920 --> 00:53:05.159 One day? Will you will open your eyes on that one? At Kope 754 00:53:05.320 --> 00:53:08.159 Froud, why do we not give Johnny Furfey more run time? Every game 755 00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:12.400 He's been in the ten to fifteen minute range when your typical six man should 756 00:53:12.400 --> 00:53:15.320 be playing near starter minutes. Hopefully this change is against notoriously bad three point 757 00:53:15.360 --> 00:53:20.079 defensive team in Indiana. Yeah, what are your thoughts on that Furfey not 758 00:53:20.159 --> 00:53:22.519 playing the sort of minutes that a six man normally does play. Yeah, 759 00:53:22.519 --> 00:53:25.719 I don't know. It's the whole bitch bench thing is weird. It seems 760 00:53:25.760 --> 00:53:29.519 like Bill Sos has his mind pretty much made up he wants to play. 761 00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:34.960 I think Bill self is trying to get el Marco Jackson as many minutes as 762 00:53:35.079 --> 00:53:38.719 possible to acclimate him. We've seen Bill self play Alamarco Jackson with two or 763 00:53:38.800 --> 00:53:43.480 even three first half fouls this year. That tells you everything you need to 764 00:53:43.559 --> 00:53:45.679 know. He wants this guy to get twenty twenty five minutes a night, 765 00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:51.159 as many minutes as he needs without being a liability to develop because he thinks 766 00:53:51.440 --> 00:53:53.960 that Jackson, not Furfey, is the tickets to this team's success at the 767 00:53:54.000 --> 00:53:58.519 two guard position. That being said, yeah, Furfey needs to play more, 768 00:53:58.599 --> 00:54:01.119 especially considering I want this team take more threes for sure, and if 769 00:54:01.199 --> 00:54:06.719 Timberlake's not gonna do anything for if he's all you got at Hawkman one oh 770 00:54:06.840 --> 00:54:09.599 three to one. How many points will Kansas beat Kansas State by this year? 771 00:54:12.840 --> 00:54:15.480 Uh? Probably like eight. They'll beat him handily at home they usually 772 00:54:15.559 --> 00:54:20.039 do. The road games are tough. Kansas doesn't typically blow Kansas State out 773 00:54:20.079 --> 00:54:22.760 on the road. I don't think they've won out there by double digits, 774 00:54:22.440 --> 00:54:27.079 and they've only won like two games out there by double digits in ten or 775 00:54:27.119 --> 00:54:30.440 twelve years or something like that. Not typically something that they roll. But 776 00:54:30.679 --> 00:54:32.159 you gotta think they'll beat him twice this year, even though the environment will 777 00:54:32.159 --> 00:54:37.599 be good at Preston Skirsick. What is the better mix and match Hunter Digginson 778 00:54:37.760 --> 00:54:44.400 with Jamari McDowell's hair or Dwan Harris with Patrick Cassidy's hair. Oh my gosh, 779 00:54:44.440 --> 00:54:47.000 I have to google Patrick Cassidy's hair. I have no idea what Patrick 780 00:54:47.119 --> 00:54:52.440 Cassidy looks like. Let's see Patrick Cassidy is sporting. Oh, he kind 781 00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:54.639 of has your hair, sir, He's kind of got like just the classic 782 00:54:55.480 --> 00:55:00.840 I'm in Master's school at Kansas sort of haircut. Imagine Dewan Harris with that. 783 00:55:01.079 --> 00:55:07.519 I think I need to see Hunter Dickinson with dreads hundred Dickinson with dreads. 784 00:55:07.559 --> 00:55:10.239 That'd be pretty funny because Jamari McDowell doesn't just have dreads. They're they're 785 00:55:10.280 --> 00:55:14.960 kind of going in a few different directions, Like I feel like Hunter doing 786 00:55:15.079 --> 00:55:19.079 the I have a big penis gesture with that. That's that's something I think 787 00:55:19.119 --> 00:55:22.360 we all need to see at jack and nine seven to one, ninety six 788 00:55:22.440 --> 00:55:24.920 seven five seven. Will Kansas continue to win the Big twelve? Seems like 789 00:55:24.960 --> 00:55:29.559 the changes to the league will see KU winning every year less likely. That 790 00:55:29.800 --> 00:55:34.239 is true. We're there. We're definitely gonna see more quality competition being added. 791 00:55:34.280 --> 00:55:37.599 It's not like Oklahoma and Texas ever did anything, but yes, they 792 00:55:37.599 --> 00:55:38.880 will win the Big Twelve this year, and they're still gonna be the favorite 793 00:55:38.920 --> 00:55:42.679 most years. Bill self is the best coach ever at winning in the regular 794 00:55:42.760 --> 00:55:47.440 season. Yep at Boom and Frost. The best fast food chicken nugget, 795 00:55:47.800 --> 00:55:53.719 not chicken strip nick go, that's gotta be chick fla. It isn't it 796 00:55:54.440 --> 00:55:58.719 nuggets. I have a very basic answer on this, and you're not gonna 797 00:55:58.800 --> 00:56:04.079 like it. Give me some of your favorite I don't really like McDonald's chicken 798 00:56:04.159 --> 00:56:09.159 nuggets. Personally are pretty good. I don't know. I wasn't like I 799 00:56:09.239 --> 00:56:12.679 said, it wasn't big chicken nugget fan. I was just I was more 800 00:56:12.679 --> 00:56:17.119 of a strips person. McDonald's chicken nuggets are a tier, S tier or 801 00:56:17.199 --> 00:56:21.920 whatever you want to say. So delicious, so amazing. I'm a small 802 00:56:21.960 --> 00:56:24.119 person. I weigh one hundred and twenty pounds. I don't eat very much. 803 00:56:24.480 --> 00:56:29.280 I can whip down those chicken nuggets like nobody's business. And you know 804 00:56:29.400 --> 00:56:32.519 what McDonald's has, I'll give you Chick fil A because Chick fil A has 805 00:56:32.519 --> 00:56:36.519 got a lot. With the exception of Chick fil A, McDonald's might have 806 00:56:36.639 --> 00:56:39.559 the best sauce of any of the fast food restaurants. They're hot mustard. 807 00:56:39.679 --> 00:56:45.840 They're hot mustard is fantastic. They're honey mustard is fantastic. McDonald's actually has 808 00:56:45.920 --> 00:56:51.119 pretty good barbecue sauce too. McDonald's has good sauces. Yep, I'm at 809 00:56:51.199 --> 00:56:53.679 true ball. Noah saw good things from L. Marco. Do you think 810 00:56:53.719 --> 00:56:59.280 we finally see a breakout? Yes, that's coming. Yeah, Marco's Marco 811 00:56:59.320 --> 00:57:00.920 has been better than the numbers would indicate. He's gonna be good. Uh, 812 00:57:01.159 --> 00:57:04.480 that still need to be all to use the bench. That only hurts 813 00:57:04.519 --> 00:57:07.519 us more, draining our starters and gonna get hurt in mid March. We 814 00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:09.400 say that most years he never rides the bench as much as we think he 815 00:57:09.559 --> 00:57:14.159 is. But overall, yes, you're probably correct. And at me and 816 00:57:14.320 --> 00:57:16.000 another question here thrown in here. If you had to get rid of one 817 00:57:16.159 --> 00:57:21.639 thing, which of these four. Is it pizza, burgers, wings, 818 00:57:21.880 --> 00:57:29.519 tacos? Wings? Probably it's wings are tacos. What if I change it 819 00:57:29.679 --> 00:57:37.119 from wings to pizza, burger, tacos and chicken uh tacos. Yeah, 820 00:57:37.199 --> 00:57:39.760 I think it's right. I'm not getting rid of burgers. That's that's the 821 00:57:39.840 --> 00:57:45.119 one I'm keeping. Pizza is important too. I don't need a lot of 822 00:57:45.239 --> 00:57:50.360 tacos, but I eat tacos more than wings. Yeah. Yeah, I'm 823 00:57:50.360 --> 00:57:53.400 not a I'm not a huge wing person, like because the wings I like 824 00:57:53.480 --> 00:57:58.079 are like the boneless ones, which are essentially chicken nuggets with lots of sauce 825 00:57:58.119 --> 00:58:00.960 on them. That's all they are. Yeah. I do some uber and 826 00:58:00.039 --> 00:58:05.599 DoorDash deliveries with my wife working at night, and there's a lot of pickups 827 00:58:05.679 --> 00:58:08.960 for like Buffalo wild wings and wingstop and everything. They never smell good, 828 00:58:09.440 --> 00:58:14.960 They're real expensive. It takes a while to cook them. I never got 829 00:58:15.000 --> 00:58:16.880 the appeal with wing. You know why America is so broke? It is 830 00:58:16.880 --> 00:58:22.679 because people are spending thirty dollars and ten wings, yeah, in door dashing 831 00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:25.760 it and an extra fifty cents per sauce they want. And yeah, then 832 00:58:25.800 --> 00:58:30.679 the door dash fee of eight dollars and throw in a few more bucks for 833 00:58:30.760 --> 00:58:32.320 the tip, because we got a tip based culture and that's the only way 834 00:58:32.360 --> 00:58:37.960 DoorDash and Uber drivers make money. Yes, if you door dash or Uber 835 00:58:37.159 --> 00:58:43.320 delivery, know that without a tip, your driver's getting paid two dollars maybe 836 00:58:43.400 --> 00:58:46.199 two dollars and fifty cents for that pickup. That's how much that people do 837 00:58:46.239 --> 00:58:51.719 you think actually tip you? Well? I I mean whenever you do that, 838 00:58:51.880 --> 00:58:54.559 I accept less than ten percent of offers. I will not accept an 839 00:58:54.599 --> 00:59:00.960 offer unless it's at least a couple dollars per mile because but I would say 840 00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:05.280 the average tip is somewhere between three and five dollars. And for like that, 841 00:59:05.440 --> 00:59:09.280 See, that's where it sucks, because like somebody could order one McDonald's 842 00:59:09.320 --> 00:59:14.960 meal and tip four dollars on a ten dollars meal. That's a good tip 843 00:59:15.039 --> 00:59:17.800 that should suffice. But your DoorDash driver, because they're paid so poorly, 844 00:59:19.159 --> 00:59:22.119 is only being offered like six dollars to deliver that whole meal, and that's 845 00:59:22.199 --> 00:59:27.199 not worth their time. That's where the tip culture sucks because that person is 846 00:59:27.280 --> 00:59:31.199 tipping forty percent, but it's still not a competitive enough offer because these food 847 00:59:31.239 --> 00:59:36.280 subscription services are paying the driver so little, and you have people who are 848 00:59:36.320 --> 00:59:38.679 willing to take everything that's thrown at them. But so that's why they'll eventually 849 00:59:38.719 --> 00:59:42.840 get their food. Does DoorDash still do the thing where if you drive like 850 00:59:42.880 --> 00:59:46.400 a certain amount of routes that you'll get like extra cash or something. So 851 00:59:46.639 --> 00:59:52.519 DoorDash is crooked and door dash makes you be a top dasher, which means 852 00:59:52.559 --> 00:59:57.119 you have to accept at least fifty percent of your orders to have the priority 853 00:59:57.239 --> 01:00:00.519 on the best ones. So it's kind of a you have to take your 854 01:00:00.599 --> 01:00:04.599 early losses to get your acceptance right high enup. You have to take all 855 01:00:04.639 --> 01:00:07.599 the crappy no tip orders to get it to fifty percent, and then you're 856 01:00:07.639 --> 01:00:10.639 in the Then you're in the in crowd where you're getting the good offers. 857 01:00:10.920 --> 01:00:14.639 I mainly use uber eats where you don't. It doesn't work like that. 858 01:00:14.760 --> 01:00:17.519 It just sends it out based on whoever's closest. But yes, DoorDash is 859 01:00:17.880 --> 01:00:23.320 is these places are so corrupt they try to incentivize taking more orders, which 860 01:00:23.960 --> 01:00:28.159 if you take every order throwing it, you're gonna lose so much money by 861 01:00:28.280 --> 01:00:31.440 driving all the time. And it just is that is that worth it overall? 862 01:00:31.559 --> 01:00:36.320 Like just with the gas and the miles on your car, and if 863 01:00:36.360 --> 01:00:39.079 you're strategic about it, like I cherry pick everything with it, I don't 864 01:00:39.159 --> 01:00:43.119 I take because I don't take someone else that pays me. I did. 865 01:00:43.239 --> 01:00:46.559 I. I also at one point doordashed the COVID summer because everyone was at 866 01:00:46.599 --> 01:00:50.440 home and it was an easy way to make money and get out of the 867 01:00:50.519 --> 01:00:52.400 house. And I did it in Hutchinson, Kansas because I was back home 868 01:00:52.519 --> 01:00:57.639 and all the restaurants in this town are literally like right next to each other, 869 01:00:58.280 --> 01:01:02.440 so it's like very easy to get the food and drop it off people's 870 01:01:02.480 --> 01:01:07.639 houses and do a lot of orders at once. And there was no competition, 871 01:01:07.760 --> 01:01:08.719 Like it wasn't a college town. There weren't a lot of people doing 872 01:01:08.760 --> 01:01:12.199 it, so you could pick up all the orders you wanted. And yeah, 873 01:01:12.239 --> 01:01:14.519 it was a good way to make money that summer. But yeah, 874 01:01:14.599 --> 01:01:16.760 you had a perfect storm there. And also door dash and Uber was paying 875 01:01:16.880 --> 01:01:21.280 better than they are now. They've lowered their rates a lot, So I 876 01:01:21.400 --> 01:01:23.920 have a lot of success in Overland Park. Overland Park's busier than Aletha. 877 01:01:24.039 --> 01:01:28.159 That one thirty fifth in Metcalf area is usually kind of my hot spot. 878 01:01:28.239 --> 01:01:31.360 There's a lot of restaurants around there. Yes, the answer is you can. 879 01:01:32.519 --> 01:01:37.199 It's inconsistent. It's side money. I usually make about twenty five dollars 880 01:01:37.239 --> 01:01:40.719 an hour, which sounds great, but then whenever you think about it's hard 881 01:01:40.760 --> 01:01:44.519 work. You're driving, you're moving around a lot, and that's not covering 882 01:01:44.599 --> 01:01:47.159 your gas, and you're working premium hours. You know, you're working six 883 01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:51.920 to nine pm on Friday and Saturday nights to get there. My wife works 884 01:01:51.920 --> 01:01:53.360 overnight. She has to work a lot of weekends as a nurse. So 885 01:01:53.719 --> 01:01:57.639 that's great money for me to make there. Otherwise I'd be sitting at home 886 01:01:57.719 --> 01:02:01.079 doing nothing. But could I do it full time? No chance. It 887 01:02:01.239 --> 01:02:06.000 does better whenever there's less competent, like the summer, it was worse because 888 01:02:06.000 --> 01:02:07.519 it's warmer, people don't want to stay in and order food as much, 889 01:02:07.639 --> 01:02:10.880 and the college kids are here so there's there's more business. So yeah, 890 01:02:10.960 --> 01:02:14.880 you had a perfect storm. Overland Park's a pretty good place to do it 891 01:02:14.960 --> 01:02:17.159 in, but more than ten hours a week, it doesn't become worth your 892 01:02:17.239 --> 01:02:22.239 while. One more question here from where are we at here? At me 893 01:02:22.559 --> 01:02:29.639 without and you rank these fast food places in order from best to worst. 894 01:02:30.440 --> 01:02:37.559 Taco Bell Arby's, Subway, Panda. I think all of them except Panda 895 01:02:37.559 --> 01:02:40.760 Express is the best one. You could rest them out. Pand Express is 896 01:02:40.840 --> 01:02:45.519 so unnarrated. Pan Express is good. Arby's is the best of those four. 897 01:02:46.119 --> 01:02:50.880 Arby's has everything. Have you been in on Arby's recently? They have 898 01:02:51.000 --> 01:02:54.320 really good burgers now they have a huge menu. If I'm eating fast food, 899 01:02:54.320 --> 01:02:59.639 which isn't often, I'll be at Panda Express for Chippotle, mostly Chipotle. 900 01:02:59.679 --> 01:03:02.079 I ate it. I've been eating Chipotle like too many times. I 901 01:03:02.199 --> 01:03:07.559 think Arby's is the best. I think Subway is the worst, and Subway's 902 01:03:07.599 --> 01:03:10.239 gone downhill a lot in recent years like they used to be. Are they 903 01:03:10.239 --> 01:03:14.480 going to pay for all those celebrities in their ads? Yeah, exactly. 904 01:03:14.599 --> 01:03:19.000 Did you know that Subway has more than twice as many locations as any other 905 01:03:19.119 --> 01:03:22.199 fast food restaurant. Yeah, it's crazy. There are tens of thousands of 906 01:03:22.239 --> 01:03:25.719 Subway in this country. I think i'd go. I actually eat at Panda 907 01:03:25.800 --> 01:03:30.360 the least, so I think i'd say Arby's, Taco Bell, Subway, 908 01:03:30.440 --> 01:03:35.840 Panda Express. I think that's my order, and I know that that might 909 01:03:35.920 --> 01:03:37.480 be the opposite of what you like. What's your order, you have Panda 910 01:03:37.559 --> 01:03:40.000 one and then what you gotta eat at one of them? Right now, 911 01:03:43.960 --> 01:03:47.760 Panda, I'd probably take some pepto bismo and eat the taco bell and don't 912 01:03:47.760 --> 01:03:51.119 really care about the others. I mean, I used to like subway, 913 01:03:51.239 --> 01:03:55.559 but it's just like twenty dollars sandwich. So subway is so expensive now it's 914 01:03:55.639 --> 01:04:00.320 crazy. The five dollars foot long now you're getting like a Now it's like 915 01:04:00.360 --> 01:04:03.119 a thirteen dollars foot long. It's great and it's all bred. Oh yeah, 916 01:04:03.239 --> 01:04:06.920 and people have measured it before, Like there's if you look up measuring 917 01:04:08.079 --> 01:04:12.039 subway foot long on YouTube, Like the subs are like, yeah, they're 918 01:04:12.119 --> 01:04:15.400 like ten and a half inches. They're just they're just screwing people left and 919 01:04:15.480 --> 01:04:18.360 right. It's it's terrible. Good round of ascarcbs. Guys. You had 920 01:04:18.400 --> 01:04:21.639 a limited amount of time to get those in and you manage to do a 921 01:04:21.719 --> 01:04:26.719 really good job. So keep them coming and hopefully on the next show we'll 922 01:04:26.719 --> 01:04:29.320 have three people to answer them. If you ever have ascarcb's use a Twitter 923 01:04:29.400 --> 01:04:34.280 hashtag or the x hashtag ASCARCB. All right, and now it's time to 924 01:04:34.320 --> 01:04:43.079 preview a road game number two Kansas at Indiana on Saturday morning, December the 925 01:04:43.159 --> 01:04:47.320 sixteenth, at eleven thirty am in Bloomington, Indiana neck This is one of 926 01:04:47.400 --> 01:04:51.599 the best settings for college basketball in the country and Kansas. It's been a 927 01:04:51.679 --> 01:04:57.320 long time since they've been up there. It has been the Big Tens. 928 01:04:57.440 --> 01:05:00.719 Indiana Hoosiers are seven to two on the season. Their best win is on 929 01:05:00.800 --> 01:05:04.039 the road against Michigan. They also beat Maryland and Louisville in I guess. 930 01:05:04.440 --> 01:05:09.199 They also have two hideous losses to the best two teams they've played, by 931 01:05:09.239 --> 01:05:13.639 twenty two Yukon and by twenty eight to Auburn last weekend. Chase Jackson Davis 932 01:05:13.800 --> 01:05:17.000 is gone, but his replacement has been excellent. Seven foot center khalil Ware 933 01:05:17.199 --> 01:05:21.360 and Oregon transfer leads the team with seventeen points, nine rebounds at a couple 934 01:05:21.400 --> 01:05:26.039 of blocks per game while shooting sixty one percent from the floor. Excellent after 935 01:05:26.079 --> 01:05:29.840 this with comfortable handling the ball away from the basket, but he is at 936 01:05:29.920 --> 01:05:31.519 his best when he's at the rim. He's paired with six nine power forward 937 01:05:31.599 --> 01:05:36.280 Molik Renew who adds fifteen and five while also shooting a good percentage. Yeah, 938 01:05:36.360 --> 01:05:40.840 Indiana's entire team is filled with guys that are like six' nine in 939 01:05:40.920 --> 01:05:45.840 athletic like, I can't really figure them out. Their backcourt has been their 940 01:05:45.960 --> 01:05:48.280 problems. Xavier Johnson, their very talented point guard, has been hurt. 941 01:05:48.320 --> 01:05:53.239 He's missed the last three game. Status unknown for this game. All time 942 01:05:53.599 --> 01:05:59.000 White Guy of the Game candidate Trey Galloway has been playing the point in his 943 01:05:59.119 --> 01:06:02.519 absence. In Guys, if you've ever heard this song song in your head, 944 01:06:03.440 --> 01:06:08.159 he is shooting fourteen percent from three. He's three for twenty two on 945 01:06:08.239 --> 01:06:13.159 the year. Guess what happens when the blue wearing day Hawks come to town 946 01:06:13.440 --> 01:06:16.880 A lot, That's what happens. There's also m mackenzie Mbaco, who Kansas 947 01:06:16.920 --> 01:06:20.519 fans will know as a guy who almost committed to Kansas over the summer and 948 01:06:20.599 --> 01:06:26.800 opted for Indiana at the last minute. He's averaging ninety four of US drive 949 01:06:26.880 --> 01:06:30.079 through Yeah he did, that's right, and he hasn't missed any games, 950 01:06:30.119 --> 01:06:32.199 I don't think. But still that happened before it started, averaging nine and 951 01:06:32.280 --> 01:06:35.960 four, a solid start to his career. Anthony Walker c J. Gunn 952 01:06:36.480 --> 01:06:43.440 similar similar size too. Uh they round out the perimeter. Uh. Here, 953 01:06:43.559 --> 01:06:47.039 let me take the Indiana stats monologue because there's a few things I want 954 01:06:47.079 --> 01:06:51.159 to update here the Hoosiers. So what I do whenever I put together these 955 01:06:51.199 --> 01:06:54.840 notes is I'll watch some highlights, I'll review the record, and I'll look 956 01:06:54.880 --> 01:06:58.360 at the college basketball reference page, and that'll normally give me a pretty good 957 01:06:58.400 --> 01:07:01.800 idea on what to expect Indiana. I'm puzzled, completely conflicted here. They 958 01:07:01.840 --> 01:07:04.719 have so many guys in that six to eight ish range, so they have 959 01:07:04.840 --> 01:07:09.800 plenty of height. They're an athletic bunch, but something is preventing this team 960 01:07:09.880 --> 01:07:13.400 from bringing it all together. They play at a very slow pace. They 961 01:07:13.440 --> 01:07:15.280 make a lot of twos. That's a staple of a Mike Woodson offense. 962 01:07:15.519 --> 01:07:19.199 They draw a lot of contact. They shoot twenty six free throw attempts per 963 01:07:19.239 --> 01:07:21.960 game, so they get to the line a lot. They make an average 964 01:07:21.960 --> 01:07:26.440 amount, but when they're there that much, it's a decent total. They're 965 01:07:26.480 --> 01:07:30.199 averaging eighteen points at the free throw line per game. This is a good 966 01:07:30.320 --> 01:07:33.320 defensive team that blocks a good amount of shots and takes away the ball at 967 01:07:33.320 --> 01:07:39.039 a decent clip. But there are three big weaknesses. They're a horrible rebounding 968 01:07:39.079 --> 01:07:42.559 team, especially on defense, which isn't great with Hunter Dickinson coming to town, 969 01:07:43.039 --> 01:07:48.039 and they are horrible, horrible, all time horrible at both things. 970 01:07:48.360 --> 01:07:54.920 Three pointers they shoot just twenty seven percent as a team, bottom twenty nationally, 971 01:07:55.079 --> 01:08:00.320 and they are making three three three pointers per game, which is three 972 01:08:00.519 --> 01:08:04.360 sixty out of three sixty three teams. And they're equally bad defending. The 973 01:08:04.440 --> 01:08:11.159 three teams are making nine threes a game on Indiana and shooting thirty five percent, 974 01:08:11.280 --> 01:08:15.480 which is horrible. Uh, this is an Indiana team that is averaging 975 01:08:15.679 --> 01:08:19.680 being outscored by eighteen points per game at the three point line. And they've 976 01:08:19.680 --> 01:08:25.039 played a lot of cupcakes, so teams are making threes against them. Could 977 01:08:25.079 --> 01:08:29.199 it be bad luck? Could it be a trend? We'll see Jayhawks. 978 01:08:29.399 --> 01:08:31.000 Great question that was asked in the notes. There are a couple of them 979 01:08:31.159 --> 01:08:35.239 about how Johnny Furfee this could be a great smash spot for him. You 980 01:08:35.319 --> 01:08:42.960 know Bill SEL's reading that scouting report. We'll see. Yeah. So all 981 01:08:43.079 --> 01:08:45.560 time Kansas is seven to eight, and fifteen matchups was Indiana, including a 982 01:08:45.560 --> 01:08:48.840 blowout win at home last year. The Jayowks were seven to two versus the 983 01:08:48.880 --> 01:08:53.399 Huger since the start of the Roy Williams era. Interestingly, though, Kansas 984 01:08:53.439 --> 01:08:56.560 has never won it assembly hauled. They're zero and three, with losses coming 985 01:08:56.560 --> 01:08:59.319 in nineteen seventy one, seventy three, and ninety four. That's the last 986 01:08:59.359 --> 01:09:02.840 time Indiana had a successful basketball team, and they also are zero to two 987 01:09:02.920 --> 01:09:08.319 against Indiana. They've lost multiple times in the national championship game. I think 988 01:09:08.399 --> 01:09:12.520 what forty They lost in forty and they lost once in the early fifties. 989 01:09:12.560 --> 01:09:15.239 I want to say it was like fifty four or something like that. It 990 01:09:15.319 --> 01:09:19.720 was in the Wilt era. So Indiana is the reason Kansas doesn't have six 991 01:09:19.920 --> 01:09:26.399 national championships instead of the four that they have. Yeah, definitely a very 992 01:09:26.520 --> 01:09:30.840 interesting matchup here between two of the bluest bloods in college basketball. Indiana's won 993 01:09:30.920 --> 01:09:32.439 five titles. They are a blue blood, though it hasn't been great recently. 994 01:09:32.720 --> 01:09:35.279 And I legitimately don't know what I want to pick in this game. 995 01:09:35.640 --> 01:09:38.760 We'll start with Landon because I have his in front of me. He thinks 996 01:09:38.800 --> 01:09:42.079 Kansas wins by about nine seventy seven to sixty eight, and I think that's 997 01:09:42.079 --> 01:09:45.039 probably the most likely result here. Kansas is probably gonna be a four ish 998 01:09:45.159 --> 01:09:47.640 five maybe point favorite. Five is pretty big. Probably about fourish on the 999 01:09:47.760 --> 01:09:54.159 road. Indiana hasn't been particularly impressive. However, this is a really tough 1000 01:09:54.319 --> 01:09:58.359 environment and this is a huge game for Indiana's at large chances. They need 1001 01:09:58.479 --> 01:10:01.439 a signature win like they need anything else, So they are going to be 1002 01:10:01.560 --> 01:10:05.399 ready for this one. They got pounded by Auburn last week. Not likely 1003 01:10:05.399 --> 01:10:09.760 they're gonna put up that stinker again. I think this is a really tough 1004 01:10:09.840 --> 01:10:14.079 spot for Kansas. I'm curious what you think happens. I was thinking about 1005 01:10:14.079 --> 01:10:17.119 picking them to lose, but it's Indiana team's gotten blown out by the two 1006 01:10:17.239 --> 01:10:20.520 good teams they played this season. I think it's gonna be a close one. 1007 01:10:20.520 --> 01:10:25.000 I'm gonna say Kyu seventy three, I Indiana at seventy. I think 1008 01:10:25.000 --> 01:10:29.039 it's to be close. Okay, I'm gonna split the difference between you and 1009 01:10:29.159 --> 01:10:32.439 Landon and predict Kansas to win by about seven. I think as a seventy 1010 01:10:32.520 --> 01:10:36.239 eight to seventy two sort of game. Seventy eight to seventy one feels about 1011 01:10:36.319 --> 01:10:42.000 right. I think Kansas is better. I think they will have a you 1012 01:10:42.079 --> 01:10:45.479 know, a three to ten point lead throughout the course of the second half. 1013 01:10:45.680 --> 01:10:48.560 Remember the Oklahoma State road game last year where Kansas was ahead like six 1014 01:10:48.680 --> 01:10:51.720 to ten points the entirety of the second half. They couldn't quite pull away, 1015 01:10:51.880 --> 01:10:55.880 but they weren't really in danger of losing it. I think that's a 1016 01:10:55.960 --> 01:10:59.800 similar feel here. Also, you better believe Kansas fans are gonna make the 1017 01:10:59.840 --> 01:11:02.239 trip for this one. I've seen a lot of Kansas fans talking about going. 1018 01:11:02.560 --> 01:11:06.439 You even mentioned maybe going. This is a rare opportunity to see Kansas 1019 01:11:06.479 --> 01:11:11.479 play and a historical basketball venue. You gotta think there's gonna be a lot 1020 01:11:11.560 --> 01:11:15.279 of Blue shirts in that crowd. You still considering going or is that ship 1021 01:11:15.359 --> 01:11:18.199 sailed? I'm assuming that tickets are expensive. Yeah, no, I'm not. 1022 01:11:18.279 --> 01:11:24.399 I'm not driving seven hours to Indiana. It's a what a fun car 1023 01:11:24.520 --> 01:11:29.640 ride through Missouri and Illinois. Yeah, where's Bloomington? Is it on the 1024 01:11:29.720 --> 01:11:34.760 east or west side of the state? Right? What side of Indiana is 1025 01:11:34.760 --> 01:11:39.720 Bloomington on? Is it? You gotta drive a little. I think Bloomington, 1026 01:11:39.920 --> 01:11:44.680 Indiana looks Yeah, it looks cold and doesn't It's right, it's not 1027 01:11:44.800 --> 01:11:49.279 too far from Indianapolis according to Google. So only in our flight can you 1028 01:11:49.319 --> 01:11:55.319 get use some of those southwest points? Sir? Yeah, I got plenty 1029 01:11:55.359 --> 01:11:59.319 of travel funds. I need to use me worth there you go. You 1030 01:11:59.399 --> 01:12:02.119 could go why Kansas win a very forgettable game up there? So we all 1031 01:12:02.199 --> 01:12:06.640 like Kansas to win. This is one of the best Saturdays in college basketball. 1032 01:12:06.920 --> 01:12:11.319 Take off your shoes and enjoy a full day of hoops. Let's pick 1033 01:12:11.439 --> 01:12:15.199 the most consequential games beginning on Friday night. How about this for a good 1034 01:12:15.239 --> 01:12:19.640 game? Number five Yukon versus number ten Gonzaga on Friday night in Seattle. 1035 01:12:20.279 --> 01:12:25.560 Gonzaga try to not get totally blanked against the good teams they played. Do 1036 01:12:25.680 --> 01:12:31.199 they get a dub over the defending champs? I think Yukon's gonna win. 1037 01:12:32.359 --> 01:12:36.640 I am gonna pick Gonzaga to win this game. This is their last opportunity 1038 01:12:38.079 --> 01:12:43.920 to win a game against the quality team until March. They are in their 1039 01:12:44.039 --> 01:12:47.359 home state. Yukon's gotta fly across the country. I'm just gonna throw a 1040 01:12:47.439 --> 01:12:53.359 dart and say Gonzaga upsets Yukon. Number six Baylor versus Michigan State. You 1041 01:12:53.439 --> 01:13:00.520 want the upset here is? This game's in Detroit. Landon thinks Michigan State 1042 01:13:00.600 --> 01:13:06.359 wins and I am I'm conflicted on this one because like they can't lose them 1043 01:13:06.359 --> 01:13:11.600 all and the second I bail, they're gonna win. But I can't trust 1044 01:13:11.680 --> 01:13:15.000 that team Baylor's gonna beat them. They're like Michigan State's just not very good 1045 01:13:15.119 --> 01:13:20.359 right now. Texas A and m versus Number four Houston Landon another upset for 1046 01:13:20.479 --> 01:13:24.399 him. He thinks the Aggies take down the Cougars. And you know what 1047 01:13:24.920 --> 01:13:32.199 I do too, Aggie's Houston, Ohio State versus Ucla Saturday afternoon. This 1048 01:13:32.359 --> 01:13:35.840 is part of the CBS Sports Invitational. I will take the Buckeyes. They're 1049 01:13:35.880 --> 01:13:40.079 better this year the than the Bruins. Even though the game you pro probably 1050 01:13:40.119 --> 01:13:45.760 have more UCLA fans, I'll say Ucla. Number thirteen Clemson at Memphis undefeated 1051 01:13:45.840 --> 01:13:53.600 Tigers. Do they meet their match? I'll say yes, I'll take Memphis. 1052 01:13:55.439 --> 01:13:59.359 Uh, that's a tough one. I think that Clemson's gonna win, 1053 01:13:59.479 --> 01:14:02.199 but I I think it's a sneaky, sneaky game for them. Very tough 1054 01:14:02.279 --> 01:14:06.880 games here. Number fifteen Florida Atlantic at Saint Bonaventure. One of the sneaky 1055 01:14:08.000 --> 01:14:12.159 good games here. That's a pretty good little atmosphere for FAU to go travel 1056 01:14:12.239 --> 01:14:15.359 too. But I think FAU takes care of business. I do too. 1057 01:14:15.439 --> 01:14:17.640 I think they are a very solid squad, returning everybody from a final fourteen. 1058 01:14:18.039 --> 01:14:21.800 Number one Arizona versus number three Perdue. How about that for a blockbuster? 1059 01:14:23.119 --> 01:14:28.039 Give me the fighting zach Edies to take down number one. Yeah, 1060 01:14:28.079 --> 01:14:31.039 I think Arizona's gonna take their first. Still, So if Purdue wins this 1061 01:14:31.159 --> 01:14:38.079 game, they will have wins over one Arizona, four, Marquette seven, 1062 01:14:38.239 --> 01:14:43.359 Tennessee good lord, and yet they still can't beat Boo Buie and Northwestern. 1063 01:14:43.439 --> 01:14:48.039 That's crazy. Number nine North Carolina versus number fourteen Kentucky. I will continue 1064 01:14:48.159 --> 01:14:56.960 to put my eggs in John Caliperry's basket. Give me the Wildcats. I'll 1065 01:14:56.960 --> 01:14:59.880 take North Carolina. Yeah. I don't have a good feel on that one, 1066 01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:09.800 but I think Kentucky's two talented Alabama versus number eight Creighton and Old Yeah, 1067 01:15:09.840 --> 01:15:12.560 I agree. I think Creighton's pretty good. But there are a hard 1068 01:15:12.600 --> 01:15:15.840 team to predict. I am pretty sure that you and Nick picked different in 1069 01:15:15.439 --> 01:15:19.199 just about every game this week. So we're gonna see how the Pickham's stats 1070 01:15:19.239 --> 01:15:23.079 go from here. This will be interesting. This is inside the paint. 1071 01:15:23.119 --> 01:15:26.319 We'll be back. I assume midweek is what Kansas Next is Yale? Right? 1072 01:15:26.399 --> 01:15:30.960 They play Yale on a Friday night. Yeah, fun one, it's 1073 01:15:31.039 --> 01:15:34.760 gonna be Oh yeah, it'll be the best sixty eight to fifty five game 1074 01:15:34.800 --> 01:15:38.840 you've ever watched with your eyeballs, at least until they play Harvard and do 1075 01:15:38.920 --> 01:15:41.920 the same thing next year. This is IP will be back early in the 1076 01:15:41.960 --> 01:15:45.960 week. I'm Ryan Landreth and I'm Landing Fields. Gotta love of landing Fields. 1077 01:15:46.239 --> 01:15:49.039 Miss that guy. But Nick, You and I I think can do 1078 01:15:49.399 --> 01:15:53.920 just fine on our own. Whenever Nick or whenever Landon quits next year and 1079 01:15:53.960 --> 01:15:57.720 it's just you and I beat Oh what's the other way around? Right? 1080 01:15:57.880 --> 01:16:01.920 Well, if Lannon can cannot get STDs, I think you'll want to be 1081 01:16:02.000 --> 01:16:04.520 sticking around with you next year. But who knows, you might have to 1082 01:16:04.560 --> 01:16:08.119 do a few one man shows if he keeps going on these dates. Hey, 1083 01:16:08.199 --> 01:16:12.560 they are officially called STIs now, sir. Diseases was deemed derogatory, 1084 01:16:12.680 --> 01:16:17.520 so we changed it to infections. That is a change that was made by 1085 01:16:17.960 --> 01:16:21.880 whoever is in charge of making those changes. Whoever made that decision. Is 1086 01:16:21.920 --> 01:16:26.479 a disease by behavior self
