WEBVTT

1
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:11.000
There was never gonna be anything else
that started this show. Win or Lose?

2
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:14.839
Yeah, I mean, like I
said on the last show, it's

3
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:18.800
literally as if the team was built
in a lab to beat Kansas and then

4
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:22.320
it happened. Yeah, it's gonna
say win or lose, one of those

5
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:27.960
things definitely happened, and it really
it wasn't the It wasn't the thing we

6
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:35.439
wanted. So here we all are, late at night on a work night

7
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:45.079
to talk about BYU coming into Allen
Field House and well three point barraging their

8
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:49.600
way to an upset win over Kansas, and look at us, we're putting

9
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:53.159
on our where mister Rogers putting on
our clown mask, gonna try to tell

10
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:57.439
you all about that game. Oh
yeah, I do have that. I

11
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:00.399
haven't played that, but like that, I don't. I don't know if

12
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:07.959
we deserve that ourselves. Kansas definitely
deserves this because here comes six eleven Noah

13
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:12.760
Waterman to match Watery pick Johnny Furfy
with threes in the final five minutes.

14
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.319
Actually he didn't match him. He
flat out made more. This is itp

15
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:23.359
whatever, I'm I don't have a
witty answer. You know who we are,

16
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.680
right? Yes? Who do you
think you are. Yes, we

17
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:33.879
are very white and very well.
If Hunter Dickinson bumps into one of us,

18
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:37.959
maybe we'll ignite a big run because
there's a lot of things to talk

19
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.079
about. Kansas losing to BYU.
The Big Twelve hopes are over, and

20
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.959
now the hope has to be don't
play on Wednesday of the Big Twelve Tournament,

21
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.120
even though Landon is probably hoping that
they do because that would give him

22
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:55.319
more opportunities to a do podcasts which
we all love, and b make up

23
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:59.040
ground on Nick and pick him because
sirt that ship is sinking faster than Nick

24
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:01.840
Timberlake's career. If only we could
have seen that coming, If only we

25
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:07.120
could have seen me sucking at pick
them again. On the horizon, the

26
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:12.560
Jayhawks can win national titles, The
Jayhawks can lose big twelves, The Jayhawks

27
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.319
can do a lot of things.
And here we go, by the way,

28
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:19.479
show number four fifty, congratulations to
all of us. That's a lot

29
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:23.360
of shows. Every time we do
a milestone show, it's usually over a

30
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:28.080
bad loss. I know three hundred
was after the Texas Allen Fieldhouse blowout from

31
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.800
a few years ago. It seems
like we always they always say the best

32
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.199
for the milestones, because here we
go, ready to talk all about it.

33
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:39.120
Landon loses in pick them. The
Jayhawks lose to BYU. It's all

34
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:50.120
ass, folks, It's all ass
okay. BYU seventy six, number seven,

35
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:58.759
Kansas sixty eight. I hope you
like that song, because I predict

36
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.400
you're gonna hear it a lot over
the next forty five minutes. Nick gonna

37
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:04.319
like it before it's over, Nick, tell me about the game story,

38
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.560
which none of us liked. Despite
maintaining a lead for most of the night

39
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.960
and getting up by twelve early in
the second half, Kansas was never able

40
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.639
to bury BYU when they had the
chance, missing countless free throws as the

41
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:20.719
Cougar's offense stayed cold but trilling by
four to five minutes left Biu's sleeping three

42
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.360
point offense finally got it going,
making its last four to three's of the

43
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:29.240
night and running past the Jay hobbsbor
winning out in the house UH by twelve.

44
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.120
That's even one more than they were
up against k State by, but

45
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:37.439
for less than they were up against
UCF by, sir. It fits in

46
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:42.960
the middle. They also led West
Virginia by ten early on Are you sensing

47
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.680
a theme? Is anybody sensing a
theme? Nope? Okay, didn't think

48
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:52.280
so because this one happened at home. So what Nick just said. I

49
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.520
was nervous the whole time. Kansas
led by six at half, despite and

50
00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:00.520
it felt like that it should have
been more. BYU played whole horrible in

51
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:04.080
the first half. They're only down
six. You knew that they were going

52
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:08.199
to go on a run at some
point. We didn't know they were gonna

53
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.800
make their last five or whatever it
was, but you knew at one point

54
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.639
they were gonna make four of six
and really shrink whatever the deficit was.

55
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.399
And you had said in the chat
during the game that that was gonna happen,

56
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:24.560
but you caveat of it with so
you better hope Kansas is up by

57
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:28.160
ten or twelve when it happens,
or you're gonna end up losing the game.

58
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.079
And they were up twelve when it
happened, and they still lost the

59
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.560
game. They were up twelve at
most. They were up about four when

60
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:39.279
BYU really got it going. But
yes, like and the free throws.

61
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.279
The free throws were the reason that
it went from twelve to four. And

62
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:47.120
the three point shooting was the reason
it went from four to l because wow,

63
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:51.000
that second half it seemed like I
read that from like the eighteen minute

64
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.800
mark to the three minute mark they
made like four shots in the second half

65
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:59.959
or something like that. Let's let's
go ahead and rip the bandaid off lane?

66
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.319
And what is the problem with this
team? I made a wise crack

67
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:10.279
about your takes about why is it
Hunter Dickinson and Hunter Dickinson only I know

68
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:14.240
he's part of it. That's six
conference losses, seven on the year.

69
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:19.279
What's wrong with him? I mean, I think there's there's a few little

70
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:24.920
things that add up to it,
but I think the biggest thing, especially

71
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.920
with Kevin mccoler out, is they
don't have a killer. They don't have

72
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:33.800
a guy. They don't have a
true creator. And Hunter Dickinson, as

73
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:41.920
great as an offensive player as he
is, you need You need a to

74
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.639
be a great team. You need
a guard creator, a wing creator.

75
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:53.680
And even though I am pleased with
the way Dwan Harris has increased his aggressiveness

76
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:58.959
in the last few weeks especially,
I like the way he's playing and that's

77
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.480
good for Kansas, he is not
exactly Devonte Graham. And I'm not saying

78
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.720
you need necessarily Davonte Graham, but
you sure be nice someone it would be.

79
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.399
You need someone on the perimeter that
can actually create, and Kevin McCuller

80
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.800
at least does his best to do
so, so, especially when he is

81
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.000
out, that's a big problem.
Obviously, they've lost several games with McCuller

82
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:24.360
in the lineup because he also even
though he does try to create and he

83
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.720
is a good player, he is
very very inefficient, especially lately, and

84
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.199
that has not helped Kansas either.
And then little things like we've talked about

85
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:39.279
the rebounding outside of Hunter Dickinson and
Johnny Furfey has been pretty suspect. They

86
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:44.560
are not a super stout defensive team, despite the fact that BYU hitting thirteen

87
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.560
threes does not have very much to
do with the defense being suspect though it

88
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.920
was, you still really can't give
a team like BYU, especially as many

89
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:57.399
open looks as they did, even
if they didn't all drop. There's a

90
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.399
few little things. The bench.
The bench wasn't even that bad. The

91
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:06.399
bench scored like what nine points for
them as season's worth of points. Yeah,

92
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:10.720
so I think there's many little problems. Does that mean Kansas is gonna

93
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:14.879
lose everything. No, not necessarily. Last time I said that Kansas wouldn't

94
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:16.759
win anything the rest of the season, they won the National Championship. Remember

95
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:20.759
that show, Yeah that was but
this team, Yeah, that was one

96
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:24.040
of our all time great shows.
You might argue from a certain point of

97
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:30.000
view. I do think though,
that this team reminds me increasingly more of

98
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:35.040
the eighteen nineteen team, especially now
with mccullor's injury. We'll see exactly what

99
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:40.160
happens with all that. There's rumors
going around. Who knows exactly what's happening.

100
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:45.600
Yeah, let's touch on that point, because wow, the comparisons between

101
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:49.600
that team and this one are.
They just get more and more ominous almost

102
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:56.839
by the week. Because obviously,
people remember the eighteen nineteen team as preseason

103
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:01.240
number one, just like this one. They came into this into that season

104
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.279
looking to win their fifteenth in a
row, and people were thinking that,

105
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:07.240
man, this is gonna be one
of the easier Big twelve titles because of

106
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.519
how good they were. We thought
this team would roll. They both started

107
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:13.519
twelve and one. That team started
off well. This team started off great.

108
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.439
Ddrich Lawson and Hunter Nickinson. I
think a revert ofy reviewed as pretty

109
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:20.519
similar players, both very good offensive
bigs with defensive fresh market fair. They

110
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:26.079
are very similar players. They're very
similar players that don't grab the love of

111
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:30.759
the fans for a few intangible reasons. Quinton Grimes, a five star freshman,

112
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:35.519
was underwhelming. Almarco Jackson, same
role. Charlie Moore a one of

113
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.679
the blue chip transfers who was gonna
come in here and be their three point

114
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.919
specialists didn't work. Nick Timberlake fits
that role here. You had o Chaia

115
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:46.519
Baji that year take the red shirt
off, come off the bench in January,

116
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:48.879
and that was kind of the freshman
emerged in the middle of the year

117
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.799
that was gonna save your season,
just like Johnny Furfey has taken that role.

118
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.519
To be fair, Johnny Furfee this
year has been better than freshman Oach

119
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.799
was as a whole, he has
absolutely but Grimes was better than Almarco Jackson,

120
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:03.720
which may have kind of canceled that
out. It evens out, and

121
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:09.480
then that team obviously had giant pieces
missed time, whether it was because they

122
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:11.559
left the team La Gerald Vick or
because they were injured, you know,

123
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:16.320
Kazabuki. And now we have Kevin
mccullar in the same boat and Morris,

124
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:18.399
Hey, I forgot about Terry Morris. Yeah, that team on undefeated at

125
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.320
home. It looked like this year's
team was gonna be the first team since

126
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.559
that one to go undefeated at home. They didn't. That team lost six

127
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.200
road games. This team has already
lost five road games in conference play.

128
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:33.159
Nick, I want to give you
the floor because you were on this a

129
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.559
little bit earlier than the rest of
us. You questioned the roster construction from

130
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.559
the start of the season. We
all kind of said, Nick, Timberlake

131
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.080
needs to be good and Kevin mccullar
needs to be good, and if not,

132
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.559
this team's gonna struggle getting three point
shooting. That was a bull.

133
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.159
He didn't even think that Elmarco Jackson
would be bad. Yeah, we didn't

134
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.559
think el Marko would be bad,
and we didn't think Furfy would be good.

135
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.200
Uh, we think Timberlake was going
to miss the spinnish shots. Yeah,

136
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.600
exactly. So whenever you you were
kind of on this team's roster construction

137
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.080
being a potential problem from the start, and I have a feeling that that's

138
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:05.720
in your mind, one of the
biggest problems with this team. They're just

139
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.720
built kind of weird. Well,
yeah, one of my big problems with

140
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.399
that was that the Artario Morris situation. I know, I've beaten the dead

141
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.320
horse here. I've mentioned a million
times. Everyone's aware that his presence is

142
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:20.039
missing on this team. But legitimately, like you go to the back to

143
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.600
the Puerto Rico games and the team
was scoring, no problem. Granted,

144
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.320
Bohemian national team, you know,
Puerto Rico Rico Select team or whatever they're

145
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:33.679
called, not star college basketball rosters
by any stretching the imagination, right,

146
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.639
but still good team, still good
showing. But yeah, still good teams.

147
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:39.600
And Kansas had no problems two games, sample sizes to get that.

148
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:43.279
Kansas had no problems scoring on that
trip, and a lot of that was

149
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:48.720
Arterio Morris. And you just think
of that like the roster construction. He's

150
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:52.360
gone, and then you're forced to
have and you got this weird point guard

151
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.679
situation where you don't have a true
scoring point guard. Like we've said,

152
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.320
they whiffed on Omarco Jackson, Dwan
Harris. We knew he was never going

153
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:03.600
to be the like the arch type
that Atlanta just described that you'd get from

154
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.159
Devonte Graham. So you're already at
the point guard spot really reeling for scoring.

155
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:13.480
The Nick Timberlake situation just has never
turned it on completely here at Kansas

156
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.879
from the three point line, big
miss there. Johnny Furfy Emergens has been

157
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:20.159
kind of a substitute, but not
as much as for the lack of shooting

158
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:24.200
they've lost, or at least we
thought we would have at the beginning of

159
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.399
the season. And like you said, just the lineup in the front court

160
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.600
KG Adams and Hunter Dickinson just not
really great of a pairing situationally. A

161
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.759
lot of times it seems like kJ
like tends to clog the pain up.

162
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:41.159
He's not super proficient in scoring around
the basket unless it's a dunk. And

163
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.879
yeah, this team just has glaring
issues. And I think the biggest thing

164
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:48.039
that stood out to me in this
game was that a time and time again,

165
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:52.279
this team has proven that they cannot
score in some stretches of the game.

166
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:56.879
We've seen it earlier this season,
seen him down the stretch in this

167
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.480
game and in that huge swaff,
like Ryan ha just talked about, where

168
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.039
they had the chance when the YU
is missing shots to get something to fall,

169
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.919
but just turnovers, misshots, stupid
possessions. Really did plague them and

170
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.720
has plagued them in all of their
losses. Did uc F game so many

171
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.240
stretches down that game, Well,
they just made some boneheaded decisions. West

172
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.440
Virginia the same case, although they
were shooting in scored well in that game.

173
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.120
But West Virginia had got they got
their best shot in case State's another

174
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.120
one where they just they hadated so
many chances. Yep. Well, and

175
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.200
I look at I look at this, this roster makeup, and what I

176
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:37.360
learned in twenty nineteen and twenty nineteen
is a bad example. Dope got hurt

177
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:39.879
and VIC left, even though I
don't know how how much you could have

178
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.039
really been on Vic, but Dope
got hurt and they were undefeated when he

179
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.799
played, So I can't critique that
roster makeup. But what I remember watching

180
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.759
when they had Didrich at the five, a scoring five who's not a super

181
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.960
athlete, who can play outside the
perimeter, but isn't a great shooter.

182
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:58.679
He's better than Dickinson, but and
he was pretty much the only rebounder on

183
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.799
that team. And I remember watching
there is okay, you have a team

184
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:07.679
that can't shoot threes very well,
that's okay if you compliment it with lots

185
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.759
of offensive rebounds. Look at Houston, they don't shoot the three ball very

186
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:16.480
well, they don't even have a
ton of size, but they compliment their

187
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.279
interior first scoring, Kansas is one
of the best teams in the country scoring

188
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.440
inside the arc. If you're gonna
do that and limit your three point attempts,

189
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.759
therefore limiting your three point makes you've
gotta be able to get second and

190
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:33.720
third possessions chance possessions whenever your first
two point shot doesn't go in, Because

191
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.600
if you're gonna miss a three and
you're not gonna get the rebound, you're

192
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.080
not gonna score enough. And that's
what I noticed going into this year.

193
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:43.279
With Nick right Arteria Morris would have
helped a lot. He was the team's

194
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.919
second best player in those international games. He was awesome. But if you're

195
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.879
not gonna be a three point a
capable three point shooting team like the twenty

196
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.080
nineteen to twenty team, that team
didn't shoot the three ball very well from

197
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:58.279
compared to some of the recent teams
that Bill self has had, but they

198
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:03.000
rebound it. They were great on
the offensive glass, and every time they

199
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:07.799
got a second chance opportunity, they
threw it into the seventy five percent shooting

200
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:11.000
cyclops in the middle. Pretty much
every second chance they got was gonna wind

201
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:16.200
up with at least two points.
This roster can't rebound. They have a

202
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.480
very good rebounder, but their overall
rebounding metrics are very middle of the pack

203
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.960
despite having Hunter Dickinson, and they
can't make threes. My criticism on kJ

204
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:28.840
Adams all year has been if you
can't shoot or rebound, well, you're

205
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:33.200
gonna struggle as a player. Well, the same logic applies to a team

206
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:35.799
and Alan Fieldhouse land and we've talked
about how that's rescued him time in and

207
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.080
time out. It couldn't do it
here when they could not. The Allen

208
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:43.399
Fieldhouse crowd, as good as it
is, it could not make the ball

209
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:48.399
go in the hoop. And BYU, we saw Baylor melt in those final

210
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:52.240
possessions. Young team led by freshmen
haven't been there before, BYU. Lot

211
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:56.120
of juniors and seniors on that team. They played one hundred games in their

212
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:58.399
career. They played tournament games.
They're not gonna be as intimidated by that.

213
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:03.360
CREA juniors and seniors are hyper junior
and seniors right, Yeah, they're

214
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.080
in their mid twenties. Those guys
aren't going to be as intimidated by this

215
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:11.600
atmosphere. And they weren't intimidated.
They actually used one hundred dects in trying

216
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:13.840
to get under their skin a little
bit and flip that game around. Not

217
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:20.399
gonna work against an experienced team like
that that can make shots. Yeah,

218
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:24.159
yeah, that's all true. I
don't I don't have a lot of disagreement

219
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:28.000
there. Uh. Yeah, if
you can't shoot or rebound at a high

220
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:33.039
level, even one of those things
is a thing that can can cap a

221
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.480
team pretty well. Rebounding again,
we've seen rebounding be a weird stat.

222
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:41.200
But when you can't do either at
a very high level, yeah, your

223
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:46.120
offensive ceiling just kind of plummets all
of a sudden. And then you factor

224
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:50.080
in being out, you know,
your second best player at worst in Kevin

225
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.000
mccullor, and yeah, all of
a sudden, you're kind of up a

226
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.440
crick You don't have a guy that
can get a bucket. Yeah, Kevin

227
00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:00.799
mccullor could come back, and then
that could be you know, I could

228
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.919
sort itself out. He could definitely
be an X factor. I think if

229
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:11.399
Kevin mccullar does indeed play more this
season. I don't think I go into

230
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:14.360
the tournament like I do with the
eighteen nineteen team, where I don't really

231
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:19.639
expect anything. This team, they
have better wins, They have a higher

232
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:23.279
floor, and I think they have
a higher ceiling too, whenever all those

233
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:27.279
pieces are working. That team got
bodied on the road. They lost by

234
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:32.799
fifteen to OHU. They just destroyed
by Texas Tech. And that's when this

235
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:37.320
team has more experience. That team, even though Devon Dotson was a very

236
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:41.399
good player a freshman, Quintin Grimes
a freshman, it had a lot of

237
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:45.360
inexperience in big moments, and it
lost a couple of its more experienced players

238
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:49.840
injuries, whereas this team doesn't quite
have that. If mccullar does play,

239
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:52.879
it's a much. It's a decently
older team. Even with Furfy and Jackson,

240
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:56.759
they have a lot more experience.
I think that contributes a lot to

241
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:02.600
their floor being higher, but I
don't know that their ceiling is any higher

242
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:06.160
at all. It's probably a lower
ceiling. Here are your stats. It's

243
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:10.079
the first home loss for Kansas since
losing the TCU last January. The she's

244
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:12.079
won two Super Bowls in the time
period that it took the Jayhawks to lose

245
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:15.599
a home game. It ends a
nineteen game home winning streak, third longest

246
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:19.960
in the country. It also is
already the sixth conference loss, which is

247
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:23.319
tying the most they've had on herself. They've done that twice nineteen and twenty

248
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:26.759
one, and it ties for the
most they've had in any season of Kansas

249
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.599
basketball since nineteen eighty nine. You're
one of the Roy Williams era, which

250
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:33.960
was who is the freaking president?
Was that Bush Senior was the president back

251
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:38.079
then? That was five presidents ago, and very very likely they're going to

252
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:41.880
lose another one unless you think they
went at Baylor in Houston. So this

253
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.400
is gonna be the most conference losses
they've had in a while, and right

254
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.279
now if they're not even guaranteed a
five hundred record. Okay, let's talk

255
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.440
about Bill Self's worst coaching job.
No, this isn't Bill Sealves fault.

256
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:56.279
I know this is Bill selves fault. I don't think well, I think

257
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.039
Bill selves roster construction could use some
criticism. Why is the roster construction a

258
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.559
mess? Because he went with Artario
Morris. I say, I do think

259
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:07.240
a huge part of this that can't
be overlooked. Is the roster construction wasn't

260
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:11.079
supposed to be this. It was
supposed to have Artario Morris, who was

261
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.559
an athletic two that I know.
I said in preseason, I didn't think

262
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:18.240
I would be very good. Well, he put his eggs in the basket

263
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:22.480
of a troublemaker who's had problems in
the past, and then said, troublemaker

264
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:26.839
got in trouble and oh no,
you could have filled that spot with a

265
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.599
lot of other pieces. I think
that's Bill self's fault. But true,

266
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.759
if mcclor didn't get hurt there,
I don't know. And that's again where

267
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:40.839
we're at very eighteen nineteen. Yeah, it's very eighteen nineteen where you could

268
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:44.279
go back and forth on what if
and what if this and what if that?

269
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:45.559
Well, it's like, well if
that happened, well if this happened,

270
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:51.279
and ultimately, like they a lot
of the things have multiple answers because

271
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:53.759
that's just the nature of what ifs. Well, Nick, go ahead and

272
00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:56.599
tell me about a hunter Dickens in
stats, let's get into the players here

273
00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:00.799
who I think that even though he
was statistically the best, he's probably the

274
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:07.240
one people are talking about the most
after this game. Yeah, Landon's favorite

275
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:11.079
player led Kansas with seventeen points and
eleven rebounds in thirty minutes, but he

276
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:14.640
was atrocious six for fifteen from the
free throw line and talked about how he

277
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:17.920
deserved a better whistle in this game. He got it, only to miss

278
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.200
nine free throws. Dickinson also got
a technical foul when he walked through a

279
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:25.759
bu huddle early in the second half
for no apparent reason, and that was

280
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:29.480
when bou was really getting going,
as the Cougars outscored Kansas forty five to

281
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.240
twenty seven from that point on.
That's a huge talking point. I love

282
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:37.160
crap like that. Hunter Dickinson wants
to be a little jackass, that's fine,

283
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:41.079
but you better back it up.
You walked through that kind of forming

284
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:45.359
huddle and the technical was stupid and
whatever and got them riled up. And

285
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.319
you can sit here and say all
you want, Well, who knows if

286
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:52.799
that happens. If he doesn't do
that, I think it pissed byu off

287
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:57.480
And look at the stats right after
that then they were plus eighteen on you

288
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:02.480
after you were in goo of the
game and decided to walk through a huddle.

289
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:04.279
You want to be the bad guy. Cool. You want to put

290
00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:07.599
your forearm in front of your crutch
whenever you make big shots, fine by

291
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.720
me, but you better back it
up. And all he did after that

292
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:15.000
was go six of fifteen at the
free throw line. That's like, I

293
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.359
don't think Hunter Dickinson is the reason
that they lost this game. The free

294
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:23.039
throws were huge, but but man
like Landon, that feels like a big

295
00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:26.720
if. That just feels like a
couple things that you're sitting there scratching your

296
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:30.079
head, going why why walk in
front of the huddle. Everything's going fine?

297
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:36.039
Yeah, And again, I think
teams that have that kind of player

298
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:38.799
that get under your skin, be
a thorn in your side on and off

299
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:45.920
the court. Kind of guy has
some value and he can do things for

300
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:48.960
you. I'm watching the Denver Nuggets
with Christian Brown on the floor right now

301
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:52.119
and he's that kind of guy as
well. And you know, they won

302
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:56.960
a national championship with that kind of
guy, and he pissed people off on

303
00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:00.680
purpose a lot, and it worked
Hudder Dickinson to do that. And I

304
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:03.960
think I think this is the thing
that I'm starting to realize with Hunter Dickinson

305
00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:07.759
is that it's not that he isn't
a killer because I said, they don't

306
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:14.240
have that kind of guy. He
can be, sometimes he is not consistently

307
00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:18.359
that guy. And I also think
that's partly just in modern college basketball.

308
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:23.440
Most centers don't have the ability to
be that guy. More often than not.

309
00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:29.480
It's much easier for a guard to
be that guy. It's much easier

310
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:33.079
for a wing player to be a
guy that can just take over rather than

311
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:36.680
a post player. Now, Hunter
Dickinson can do it. He genuinely can.

312
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:38.720
We've seen it multiple times, you
know. I mean, a guy

313
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:44.119
doesn't drop thirty and ten or twenty
and twenty or you know, without without

314
00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:48.839
being a guy. That's twenty twenty
one against Kentucky where he was a killer,

315
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:52.960
right, A couple thirty and ten
games, Like he's been that guy

316
00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:56.319
for sure where you just give him
the basketball and he scores, where yeah,

317
00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:00.839
he is the killer, but he
just he isn't consistent enough. And

318
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:07.680
that's the thing that separates really good
players a La Dietrich Lawson or Hunter Dickinson,

319
00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:12.839
really really really good players, like
top end Big twelve players in their

320
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:17.319
in their season's top end bill self
players. Over the course of his career,

321
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:22.200
it separates them from the Devonte Grahams. Obviously Frank Mason was another animal,

322
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:26.640
but it separates them from Sean Collins
and and Graham and guys like that

323
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:32.839
that winner every night when you knew
you needed a basket, those guys were

324
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:36.440
either going to score themselves or they
were going to generate a play for someone

325
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:37.920
else to score. And it was
gonna be the ball in their hands,

326
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:41.079
and you knew what was gonna happen. Even if the shot didn't go in.

327
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:45.960
You knew that those guys were gonna
get a look or get someone else

328
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.720
a look, because that's the kind
of player they were, and they could

329
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.599
generate that offense borderline on their own. And I don't think Hunter Dickinson has

330
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.759
that in him. Frankly, I
don't think that Hunter Dickinson is being done

331
00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:00.960
a lot of favors by this roster. I think, to be fair,

332
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:04.000
he's double team so much like Yes, obviously that's just what's happening to him.

333
00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:08.079
I started the Doke versus Dickinson debate
on Twitter, and they're just very

334
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:12.880
different players. I would take Hunter
Dickinson over Doke. That may sound crazy,

335
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:17.640
especially on this team. This team
needs offense. They have fewer players

336
00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:19.720
that can create their own shot.
Dickinson is one of the few that can.

337
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:23.759
I would take the offense on this
team. But he's not the athlete

338
00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:26.799
Doke was. He's not as efficient
as Doke was, and he's nowhere near

339
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.279
the defender that Doake was. So
I get both answers. Dickinson's one of

340
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:33.799
the three best center self has had. He's leading the conference in points right

341
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.400
now because mccullar hasn't played enough games
at this point to qualify. He's leading

342
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:41.279
the conference and rebounds at this point. I have a hard time sitting here

343
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:44.359
saying the guy who's first in points
and first and rebounds on the whole conference

344
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:48.000
is the reason this team is struggling. But something just isn't there. It's

345
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:52.839
just not there. It's like it's
so close, and I yeah, I

346
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:56.960
don't want to say that it's the
winner thing, but it's just it's a

347
00:23:56.039 --> 00:24:00.680
guy that more that seems like just
as often as he does, he doesn't

348
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:03.279
make the winning play. And I
would love for him to stick around because

349
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:06.480
I think he will continue to get
better. I think he's one of the

350
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:11.000
five best players in college basketball.
Uh, but there's just something there.

351
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:14.079
Dude, Like, if you're gonna
tick him off, you better back it

352
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:17.559
up. And yes, do I
think he could benefit if you put guards

353
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:22.799
around him that could shoot wherever he's
not. Just imagine this Hunter Dickinson on

354
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:26.400
the twenty eighteen Final four team that
had four wings that could shoot that like

355
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:32.119
geez, he'd be on Newman's v
Good, Gerald, Vick and Graham around

356
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:34.279
him. Yes, yeah, that's
gonna be psycho. He'd be unstoppable.

357
00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:41.039
I don't think Dickinson's passing ability that
would be coming back next year. Absolutely,

358
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.960
he's absolutely coming back and put Dickens
again and put dick I know,

359
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:48.440
I don't think. I think he'll
come back. But I also don't know

360
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.799
if the Kansas fans have like the
Kansas fans have a weird relationship with Hunter

361
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.519
Dickinson. He is public gettem me
number one after a game where he leads

362
00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:00.599
him in points and rebounds, Like
I I don't know. He doesn't seem

363
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:04.200
to get too rattled by that stuff, but there's just something weird there.

364
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:08.799
I think gonna need really good nil
money if he actually does leave, or

365
00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:12.880
consider transferring right, two million dollars
really money, really good money. Two

366
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:17.400
million reasons for him to stay at
this point. But yeah, that's my

367
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:19.359
issue with Dickenson. If you're gonna
have that attitude, you better back it

368
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:22.839
up. He didn't do it in
this game. If he makes a good

369
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:25.319
chunk of his free throws in the
ending of this game may go differently,

370
00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:30.039
and you're gonna poke the bear,
you better be capable whenever that bear roars

371
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.319
back on you to do something about
it. And he didn't in this game.

372
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:41.119
Part of the reason that that bear
wound up biting them was the white

373
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:42.880
guy of the game. There's many
of them. Take pick your favorite.

374
00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:47.599
By you made thirteen threes, they
shot thirty eight percent, which really isn't

375
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:52.000
that far off from their averages.
They averaged twelve, and they made thirteen.

376
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:55.599
They averaged thirty six percent. They
made thirty eight. But they made

377
00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:59.119
their last like four or five in
this game or something like that, and

378
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:00.799
it just all came and they absolutely
had to have him. They did.

379
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:04.680
Trav Dylan Dallan Hall is probably your
pick for this award. He was won

380
00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:07.480
for ten in his last two games, then he splashed in three, including

381
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:11.880
the dagger. Noah Waterman was two
for three. Spencer Johnson made one Travan

382
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:19.920
now made one endless here. Here's
a completely irrelevant question. Is Dallan a

383
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:25.880
specifically like Mormon name? Because there's
a semi obscure band that I've kind of

384
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:29.480
listened to called i DK how but
they found me. Uh. They They

385
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:32.519
are led by a guy who is
also Mormon, and his name is Dallan

386
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:36.480
Weeks. And those are the only
two Dallens I think I've ever heard of,

387
00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:40.240
But they just so happened to both
at least be associated with Mormonism.

388
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:42.599
Yeah, it is. It is
one of the most used names among Mormon

389
00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:45.599
boys. It is a namesake of
Dallen h O. It's a member of

390
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:52.359
the Olds Church and former president of
BYUM. I like it sounds like the

391
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:55.640
Jayhawks could use some Dallons. They
instead just have a Johnny and a Nick

392
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:59.039
Landon. Tell me about KU's white
guys of the game that didn't do what

393
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:06.839
Dallan did. Yeah. One four
eleven from three from the two dalln esque

394
00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:11.680
shooters, if you will on Kansas
A Lot of Bricks, A lot of

395
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:15.440
bricks. Timberlake's Loanmak tied the game
with three minutes left a huge make,

396
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:18.759
but he was one for nine from
the floor in thirty three minutes and the

397
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:21.640
last two shots. I feel like
I've cut you off a thousand times tonight.

398
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:25.720
H that's a thousand times back at
you, so we're even it'll work.

399
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:29.319
Then, Nick Timberlake, the last
couple possessions, his shots were seriously

400
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:36.119
so bad. They were so short
and so bad. Furfey was he had

401
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:40.319
like a pretty good game generally speaking. He had he made four twos,

402
00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:44.920
he had nine boards, ten points, but he was zero for five from

403
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:47.359
three, And obviously, in a
game where you lose by eight and the

404
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:51.319
other team is bombing away threes over
and over again, making at least one

405
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:52.599
or two of those would have been
really nice. Nick, What do you

406
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:56.319
make of Johnny Furfey and Nick Timberlake? Not a great night at the office

407
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:00.200
for those guys, especially from deep. Yeah, uh, not great,

408
00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:07.079
Bob. The threes and free throws
like they Kansas was a minus thirty on

409
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:10.440
threes. We knew coming into this
game. They were great basketball games.

410
00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:12.039
Yeah, you're not winning. I
don't know if I've ever seen a team

411
00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:15.960
win whenever they're minus thirty on threes. The refs helped Kansas for most of

412
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:18.559
the night. Then they just decided
they were gonna flip it on its head.

413
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:22.839
Uh. But whenever you're minus thirty, I don't care what the foul

414
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:26.079
discrepancy is. And then you you
miss free throws on top of that,

415
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:30.440
like normally that the name of what
that is is you're trading twos for threes.

416
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:36.000
They were trading zeros or free throws
for threes down the stretch of that

417
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:40.839
game. Kansas three threes YU thirteen. Kansas was also nineteen for thirty one

418
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:42.480
from the free throw line, which
is a not good sixty one percent.

419
00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:45.960
But that's not fair to the team
because the bad was almost all one player

420
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:52.480
players not named Hunter thirteen of sixteen
for the Jayhawks. The refs called twenty

421
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:56.559
five fouls on BYU and Kansas completely
squandered it. I feel like that's another

422
00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:00.400
thing that that Nick talked about,
Like we've talked about Hunter Dickinson gets such

423
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:04.960
a lousy whistle, Zach Edy,
This Zach Edy that Hunter Dickinson finally gets

424
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:08.480
the whistle that we've been wanting him
to get, and he didn't do anything

425
00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:12.599
with it. All those free throws
bricked out and Dickinson had an off night

426
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:17.920
for sure. Dickinson's a career seventy
five percent three point or free throw shooter

427
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:22.319
that went six for fifteen. That's
not normal. Kansas was fifteen percent under

428
00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:25.640
their season average in this game.
That's a little bit fluky. They're not

429
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:27.880
They're not a sixty one percent free
throw shooting team. But man, the

430
00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:33.000
missus sting, don't they? Yeah, especially when you have one guy that's

431
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:37.960
getting the line so much and is
just he made he missed his last six.

432
00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:42.440
That was their strategy. I watching
that game. That was BYU's strategy.

433
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:45.559
They were gonna hack him and make
him do that. And why was

434
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:48.720
kJ Adams bill self's play call recipient
later on because he knew if he called

435
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:51.960
the play for Hunter or they were
gonna slap his arm and he was gonna

436
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:56.200
miss the free throws. Not what
you want from your two million dollar player.

437
00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:02.839
Also, not ever what you want
the rest as six fouls on Kansas

438
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:07.160
after Mark Pope's technical none on BYU, you could almost say that changed the

439
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:11.759
game. They called forty three total
fouls in a forty minute game. BYU

440
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:14.519
was completely getting the shaft. I
know they were fouling a lot, but

441
00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:17.920
they were calling everything on the Cougars. And then the technical happened, and

442
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:22.240
whoop flip. That goes some awful
officiating, as is most nights in this

443
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:30.279
conference, Nick tell me about kJ
Adams. Yeah, uh, Kevin James.

444
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:33.480
I don't know if that's what kJ
means. Adams said eleven points,

445
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:37.240
five rebounds, two steals, two
blocks, and thirty four minutes five to

446
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:40.640
thirteen from the floor. Sinceing Hunter
could make a free throw and nobody could

447
00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:44.079
make a three, Billsoff called for
kJ to to the basket several times down

448
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:47.079
the stretch, but he kept missing
the shot. This is a mashup that

449
00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:49.200
he should have dominated, and he
was invisible in the second half. Ryan

450
00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:52.839
again, you've you've you jumped on
this early. kJ Adams has been a

451
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:57.960
liability, particularly scoring. Anything to
add while you were half right, it's

452
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:03.799
Kevin Win Adams Junior, which apparently
the kJ is for the J and kJ

453
00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:10.680
is for junior, so that's really
there's the name. Stat Look, man,

454
00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:14.680
I don't want to bang the drama
again on this, but I think

455
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:18.319
kJ Adams is a liability. I
I love watching him play. I'm looking

456
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:22.960
at next year Hunter's probably back.
You're bringing in a four man that can

457
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:27.720
rebound, well, kJ cannot play
thirty minutes a game next to Hunter Dickinson.

458
00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:30.720
He cannot do that. You cannot
bring these two back as your starters.

459
00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:36.440
kJ can't rebound. He has all
the athleticism in the world. Your

460
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:38.920
fore man can't rebound on a team
that struggles to rebound. Look no further

461
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:44.240
like, and then he can't make
anything outside of three feet from the basket.

462
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:48.119
And this game he wasn't doing that. Hunter was struggling. He's allowed

463
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:51.319
to have off nights. Kj's gotta
be the one that picks up that slack

464
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:53.200
on a night you're not making threes. And I saw some people on Twitter

465
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:56.839
saying, well, it's not kj's
fault. No one could make a three,

466
00:31:56.880 --> 00:31:59.319
and Hunter couldn't score inside, and
no one could rebound. Yes,

467
00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:02.359
but that's all so Kj's fault because
kJ can't help any of those guys with

468
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:07.920
those things. Landon, is that
fair? I'm losing patience with a guy

469
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:12.000
that's so electric to watch and has
such good highlights, but I think is

470
00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:15.480
lacking two vital things. You're a
fore man in this day and agent college

471
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:17.480
basketball has to be able to do. I'd rather have them go out and

472
00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:22.839
portal in a six' nine stretch
four who can shoot a little bit and

473
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:28.319
rebound. Yeah, we've talked about
this a lot this season. I think

474
00:32:28.599 --> 00:32:34.480
I think you're largely correct. Unfortunately, what's either gonna have to happen is

475
00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:39.119
Bill maybe he can't do it this
season because he just doesn't have the bodies.

476
00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:44.599
Next year you might have to either
if kJ comes back, you either

477
00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:50.759
have to have him and Flory be
okay playing a four round one I think

478
00:32:50.839 --> 00:32:54.039
to get the best out of it, which we'll see if they want to

479
00:32:54.079 --> 00:33:00.519
do that, or kJ Adams is
gonna have to start knocking down threes.

480
00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:07.960
If I don't, I don't have
faith that that's gonna happen. So I

481
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:10.640
like Kej Adams a lot of the
guy. He seems like a really nice

482
00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:16.440
guy. Obviously, he's had a
really uh crappy year this year off the

483
00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:22.240
court, good decently good year on
it in a vacuum, but I don't

484
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:30.039
disagree. I I think he he
could have a really really nice role on

485
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:32.799
a different team, a really good
team, even if they're willing to play

486
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:36.680
small ball with him and as their
true five. Uh. He did really

487
00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:39.559
well in that role for Kansas last
season. I think he could play that.

488
00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:45.880
I I do think that from a
basketball perspective, if Dickinson's coming back

489
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:52.319
and with Flory uh In in the
wings next season, I think there might

490
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:55.920
not be a starting spot for kJ
Adams, at least he can't start.

491
00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:01.400
I think that's good. Is going
to start next to Hunter? No,

492
00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:04.720
I don't. I think Kj's gonna
start next to Hunter, but I think

493
00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:08.519
they might be better if they if
Flori does play more. kJ is averaging

494
00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:12.880
twelve points a game as a four
man. That's great. That's literally the

495
00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:15.679
only stat you care about your four
men doing. I know he's got three

496
00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:17.719
assests per game, but that's not
something that wins games. Whenever your four

497
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:22.079
men passes. Kj's averaging four rebounds
a game, playing thirty four minutes a

498
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:27.400
game as the four. He's less
than six the line if he was like

499
00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:30.760
a thirty point shooter. Also,
yes, if he plays out by the

500
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:35.519
perimeter and you play four out.
But he can't shoot free throws career sixty

501
00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:38.639
percent even lower than that. This
year, he's never made a three in

502
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:44.119
his career. Oh for seven?
Is kJ shooting threes most of which I'm

503
00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:45.960
sure of those are just into the
shot clock keys? And is he is

504
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:50.599
he a good defensive player, he
doesn't really keep bigger four men in front

505
00:34:50.599 --> 00:34:52.360
of him. I don't know.
I just don't see the fit. I

506
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:55.760
like the player, I don't see
the fit. And I think that if

507
00:34:55.840 --> 00:35:00.559
you throw Hunter Dickinson out and you
get a different kind of five man,

508
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:04.480
you get a freaking Dylan to Sue
type. Okay, now, that can

509
00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:07.159
work those guys together. But Hunter
Dickinson's not an athlete, and he doesn't

510
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:14.840
have a vertical and he's your bruising, rebounding big. You can't stick the

511
00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:17.920
guy right next to a four man
that doesn't leave the paint. It doesn't

512
00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:22.559
work. It makes life worse for
Hunter, and it makes life worse for

513
00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:24.480
the three point shooters. Yeah,
and that's the thing. It really is

514
00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:29.679
all fit. It's not that kJ
Adams is a bad basketball player. He's

515
00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:31.559
a very good basketball player, I
think. But yeah, I agree,

516
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:37.039
I think I think fit for especially
this team specifically, it really does hurt

517
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:40.639
when you have a guy that is
a much more traditional and I know Hunter

518
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:45.320
can pop out and hit the jumpers
and stuff, but he is usually at

519
00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:49.679
his best back to the basket,
and that's how they want to play one

520
00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:55.840
on the block and kJ is not
conducive to playing that well players that You

521
00:35:55.920 --> 00:36:00.400
really can't blame this on Dwan Harris
twelve points on four of nine shooting,

522
00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:02.920
with six assists and four turnovers,
all of those coming in the first half.

523
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:06.719
He was better in the second half. Uh. Dwan Harris should have

524
00:36:06.760 --> 00:36:12.960
had twelve assists, but Nicholas brick
Factory Timberlake cannot hit the broadside of a

525
00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:15.599
barn with a beach ball in his
hands, so he did he only finished

526
00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:21.320
with six. Uh. The bench
was fine. Oh, Nick Timberlake,

527
00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:23.800
Dude, we didn't I know that, we read the stats and but oh

528
00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:28.119
my gosh. And the worst part
I feel like I did with Grimes and

529
00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:30.199
Charlie Moore. You know what they
are. You know it's not getting better,

530
00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:34.519
but you're like, you have to
keep trying it because who else He's

531
00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:39.000
better than Alamarco Jackson. And again, at least Grimes actually gave you like

532
00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:44.679
eight points. Yeah, it's like
I used the casino reference to describe Texas

533
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:49.199
in the last episode, but it's
literally that guy that is down fifty six

534
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:53.559
thousand dollars in his retirement fun in
the casino playing blackjack, but he knows

535
00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:57.639
the next the next one's gonna be
he's gonna hit the jackpot, and the

536
00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:00.119
next one he's gonna he's gonna win
all the money back. Anyone this next

537
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:04.400
turn, you just wait, I'll
make twenty thousand dollars back. That's Timberlake.

538
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:06.599
We're hoping him to make some threes. Well, and that's kind of

539
00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:09.440
what happened. Honestly, were fifty
grand down and the last poll of the

540
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:13.960
slot machine won twenty grand back.
Timberlake played well against Texas, and we're

541
00:37:14.039 --> 00:37:16.239
like, you think, oh,
here we go, we're getting hot,

542
00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:20.280
and you forget that you're still very
much in the hole for the whole year.

543
00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:22.880
And look, they just lost a
bunch more money with this, because

544
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:25.119
God was what would the Remy analogy
part? What would the Remy Artant analogy

545
00:37:25.559 --> 00:37:30.239
be? Part of that is that
you go down a good one hundred spot

546
00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:32.280
in Vegas and then all of a
sudden you hit the Mega million's jackpot.

547
00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:37.400
I think that with Remy he was
the best March player in the history of

548
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:39.320
college basketball. Yeah, I think
that's winning like a billion dollars in the

549
00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:44.960
Remy was so proven though. Remy
was so much more proven than this.

550
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:50.440
We had confidence that Remy would explode
in March because we've seen him play basketball

551
00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:53.000
at a high level at a power
league. Timberlake, you're really just you're

552
00:37:53.199 --> 00:37:57.880
you're wishing on a star. And
that team also had like the Big Twelve

553
00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:00.920
Player of the year on it in
a lottery pick, which this team might

554
00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:05.639
actually, weirdly enough, have both
of those things too small Shed's winning Big

555
00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:07.000
twelve Player of the Year, but
yeah, they may have. They're gonna

556
00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:09.800
have the leading scorer and the leading
rebounder in the league, which is and

557
00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:14.599
maybe a lottery pick depending on what
happens with Al Furfy the bench, Parker

558
00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:17.280
Brown, Jamary McDowell, Elmarco Jackson
combined for nine points on four of seven

559
00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:21.800
shooting. It's not great, but
if Timberlake plays okay, that should be

560
00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:23.599
enough to help get you there.
At home against the middle of the Big

561
00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:28.360
twelve, middle of the pack team, they were fine. El Marco cannot

562
00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:31.840
and will not shoot. He had
a possession where he just couldn't keep track

563
00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:36.079
of the ball at all and it
was kept bouncing off of everything. Just

564
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:39.719
I would rather them try Timberlake than
Jackson at this point, and that's tough

565
00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:45.880
to say with a straight face.
Yeah, it's it's just this team.

566
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:47.840
It just feels like everybody's close,
but there's just something not quite there.

567
00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:52.320
They've won all these big games we've
seen them. They have a great resume.

568
00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:54.679
Even with these They're gonna get to
nine or ten losses before the tournament

569
00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:59.280
and still probably be like a three
or four at the lowest seed because their

570
00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:05.559
resume stacked and all that implies if
they can, if they can get it

571
00:39:05.679 --> 00:39:07.960
all to work at one time,
they can still be one of the best

572
00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:12.039
teams in the country and maybe ye'll
run out a final four. I don't

573
00:39:12.079 --> 00:39:15.719
have a lot of faith that that's
gonna happen, but it is. I

574
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:19.320
think they're gonna go further than people
currently think. I think this is the

575
00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:22.760
low point for people. Sweet sixteen, Sweet sixteen. I if they get

576
00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:27.239
to I think they're gonna have a
better March tournament than people think. As

577
00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:30.800
long as the color playing they get
a draw. Yeah, that's the thing.

578
00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:34.880
They're doing a good draw too,
because last year was bunsu Ku shot

579
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:42.719
thirty thirty nine percent from the floor, which is ass b Yu not a

580
00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:47.039
great defensive team, and Kansas couldn't
make anything twenty percent from three. There

581
00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:52.599
are two gignantic juicy buns. Yes, especially against the team it's gonna make

582
00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:55.000
threes and sixty one percent of the
line land, how about a third juicy

583
00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:59.840
bun for you? Also only plus
three on the glass on a night wherever

584
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:02.880
their opponent missed a lot of shots
early on. This really is this is

585
00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:07.880
a big mac. This is three
buns. Yeah, yeah, three buns

586
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:12.760
and no, at least a big
mac is good. This is just this

587
00:40:13.239 --> 00:40:16.679
is three buns with no sauce.
Well, do we have any closing thoughts

588
00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:20.320
on this game? It was a
disappointing home loss. We don't talk about

589
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:22.559
a lot of home losses. I
like three with no sauce. So I'm

590
00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:28.840
gonna leave you with that. That's
what was nick. Any closing thoughts White

591
00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:35.719
guys, No, Well you asked
for it. I had somebody in my

592
00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:38.559
mentions because that the end of game
tweet was like the white guys got it

593
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:43.400
going in the end, and someone's
like, I don't understand the white guys.

594
00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:45.559
Would you say that if they were
black guys? And I'm just like

595
00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:54.039
just like yeah, I'm like I
don't have the the energy to explain that.

596
00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:59.800
Everybody who looks like the three of
us all merge together make threes against.

597
00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:05.039
It's also more about a metaphorical white
guy at this right. Yeah,

598
00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:08.039
but sometimes it doesn't have to be
metaphorical. Sometimes it's a white Horman named

599
00:41:08.119 --> 00:41:14.519
Dollan exactly. So he goes out
there were the most literal white guy.

600
00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:16.960
You and I saw people be like, oh my god, this seems so

601
00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:22.119
bad. According to three Yeah,
hunter Nigginson's got two hands in Dallan Hall's

602
00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:27.119
face with about an eighteen inch high
difference, and he still splashes it.

603
00:41:29.119 --> 00:41:31.880
Yeah. Nothing you can do.
Nothing you can do except for talking about

604
00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:40.000
these other games and well, Big
twelve games. Back to having a full

605
00:41:40.199 --> 00:41:44.199
arsenal of Big twelve games in the
hopper to talk about every show the rest

606
00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:49.880
of the way, Number fifteen,
Baylor sixty two, TCU fifty four.

607
00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:52.519
Well, and and we just talked
about buns. I think that we were

608
00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:57.159
all once again too high on the
horn frogs. They also might be buns.

609
00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:00.760
Yeah, I think it's really easy
to buy into the horn frogs.

610
00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:05.159
We usually do, and they usually
let us down. Baylor's defense was the

611
00:42:05.239 --> 00:42:08.360
answer here. It's also complete opposite
of the one hundred and whatever to one

612
00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:13.840
hundred and whatever game I never forgot
about that. Yeah, played in Waco,

613
00:42:15.079 --> 00:42:19.119
but Baylor hell TCU to thirty three
percent from the floor, which is

614
00:42:19.159 --> 00:42:22.559
worse than Kansas somehow. The Bears
also got sixteen points from Jacoby Walter to

615
00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:28.199
end their two game losing skid.
TCU nineteen and nine. They should be

616
00:42:28.360 --> 00:42:32.360
in the Dance, but with a
very lackluster non con schedule, not quite

617
00:42:32.360 --> 00:42:36.840
as safe as you might think,
though. I do think the Committee is

618
00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:39.440
very high on the Big Twelve,
So I think unless you see an epic

619
00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:44.079
collapse from TCU here in the last
couple of weeks, they should be safe.

620
00:42:44.679 --> 00:42:47.519
TCU right now eight and seven and
Big Twelve play their last three games

621
00:42:47.639 --> 00:42:52.920
at BYU at West Virginia, Central
Florida at home. They should win two.

622
00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:54.639
That's gonna be big because if they
can get to ten and eight,

623
00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:58.159
I think that's pretty safe. If
they're nine to nine, which is the

624
00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:00.639
Jamie Dixon Special, and they bow
out early in the Big Twelve tournament,

625
00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:05.559
and usually if that think about it, if they're bowing out early, that

626
00:43:05.719 --> 00:43:09.239
means teams like Case State on the
bubble, Oklahoma on the bubble, they

627
00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:14.519
rise up a little bit. Just
you're gonna want to win two more games

628
00:43:14.599 --> 00:43:17.840
to be super sure three for a
lock. I think if you're TCU,

629
00:43:17.960 --> 00:43:22.840
it's closer than you think. Kansas
State ninety four, Well, it's an

630
00:43:22.880 --> 00:43:29.679
overtime, so they're definitely gonna be
read first. West Virginia ninety in over

631
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:34.159
time, Nick, this was a
barn burner, but it ends the way

632
00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:38.039
every Jerome Tang overtime game ends.
Yeah, Kansas State seven to zero overtime

633
00:43:38.119 --> 00:43:43.119
games this year, which is an
NCAA record. Jerome Tang is twelve to

634
00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:45.800
zero, which is also an NCAA
record. But this game was sixty six

635
00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:51.679
to forty one with thirteen minutes left
before West Virginia's united a thirty six to

636
00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:55.559
eight run, taking a brief lead
before overtime. Twenty nine points from Tyler

637
00:43:55.639 --> 00:44:00.239
Perry, including six threes. Rake
one battle nearly matched him with twenty eight

638
00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:04.519
in six threes. The Wildcats are
firmly on the bubble of the NCAA tournament

639
00:44:04.559 --> 00:44:07.960
conversations. I think they're clearly out
right now, but okay, they're right

640
00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:13.480
there. It's it's the same thing
with a non conference schedule, like they

641
00:44:14.360 --> 00:44:22.239
they really only played three legitimate teams
in non con usc Providence and Nebraska.

642
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:24.760
Yeah, and and they lost two
of those games. They won the other

643
00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:29.599
end. You're gonna be shocked overtime. But they beat Baylor and they beat

644
00:44:29.679 --> 00:44:32.800
Kansas. TCU can't say that about
either one. No, TCU did be

645
00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:37.159
Baylor. I guess. I think
they have basically the same resume that that

646
00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:40.840
game they blew in Lubbock is is
pretty big right now. That's there.

647
00:44:40.920 --> 00:44:47.000
They're seven and eight their last three
games at Cincinnati, at Kansas versus Iowa

648
00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:52.000
State. That's that's trouble there.
They they probably got to win two of

649
00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:53.599
those, and I don't know if
they have it in them to win two

650
00:44:53.679 --> 00:44:59.920
of them. Is that fair?
Yeah? I think it is, unless

651
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.000
they go to overtime, in which
case they're winning them all because good lay,

652
00:45:02.280 --> 00:45:06.400
they should just get games to overtime
no matter what and they won't lose.

653
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:10.119
Apparently they call it over Tang and
Manhattan, and it was Jerome Tang

654
00:45:10.320 --> 00:45:14.960
was called out the students afterwards.
He said, Hey, look, whenever

655
00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:19.199
my office gets texts and calls from
unions on campus wanting us to speak at

656
00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:22.320
rallies, we're there. I need
you guys to show up at our games.

657
00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:23.960
I think I have a solution for
you, mister Jerome. I think

658
00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:29.760
you should just make your opponents wear
red and blue warm ups every time there's

659
00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:31.880
a game at Bramwich, and then
they're gonna fill the stands. You may

660
00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:37.719
even hear during you know, Cincinnati
or Oklahoma States intros, You may hear

661
00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:45.280
this. Yeah, I think.
I think Manhattan Manhattan folk are sneakily pretentious

662
00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:47.800
because they like paying like four times
as much as they normally have to for

663
00:45:47.960 --> 00:45:52.679
basketball tickets. Yeah, yeah,
that's that's how it works. Number one

664
00:45:52.840 --> 00:45:58.559
Houston sixty seven, Cincinnati fifty nine. LJ. Cryer twenty two points,

665
00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:01.519
Jamal shed Big twelve plays your favorite
right now, nine points and eleven assists.

666
00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:05.199
Houston is to the brink of clinching
a share of the Big twelve title.

667
00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:08.079
Iowa State's really their only remaining competition. A horrible night for the Bear

668
00:46:08.159 --> 00:46:12.880
catch twenty three fouls, twenty one
baskets, nineteen turnovers. That's all bad,

669
00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:15.480
such as life when you play at
the number one defense in the country.

670
00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:19.960
Houston continues to be my worst take
of the season. I thought that

671
00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:22.840
they would struggle more in Big twelve
play than they had. They are a

672
00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:28.400
brilliant basketball team and as good of
a chance as anybody out there to cut

673
00:46:28.440 --> 00:46:30.400
down the nets. Right, Yeah, I think so. I think they're

674
00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:34.199
definitely in the elite tear this season. This will be a fun one for

675
00:46:34.199 --> 00:46:37.880
you to read about. Land in
Texas eighty one Texas Tech sixty nine,

676
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:40.920
And it wasn't that close, but
it won't be remembered for that. Dylan

677
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:45.880
Desoue scored twenty one four Texas As. The Longhorns continue to be confusing to

678
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:49.320
figure out. They actually led by
his Mani's twenty nine in this game in

679
00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:52.440
the second half, but that is
far from the biggest takeaway from this game.

680
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:59.360
Brought Cunningham slammed himself into a Texas
Tech player fighting for a loose ball,

681
00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:01.760
getting called for flagrant two, which
I think was a fair call.

682
00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:06.559
I mean this was like a hockey
check level. Oh yeah, Frank Rascilla

683
00:47:06.679 --> 00:47:09.719
said, that's just good basketball.
But I watched the highlight of this,

684
00:47:09.840 --> 00:47:13.840
and yeah, that's insane. That
is an insane thing to say, Fran.

685
00:47:14.159 --> 00:47:16.000
Imagine Fran being wrong. Oh wait, I can. It's very common.

686
00:47:17.639 --> 00:47:23.599
But then, even though I think
borderline dirty play bad play, the

687
00:47:24.159 --> 00:47:30.320
Texas Tech fans started throwing stuff on. The Technicals were called on Texas Tech

688
00:47:30.440 --> 00:47:36.119
as a team because of this,
which led Grant McCaslin to hop on the

689
00:47:36.199 --> 00:47:40.880
mic the PA announcers Mike and implore
the crowd to stop, which eventually they

690
00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:45.719
did. They finished the game,
but a pretty wild scene there in Lubbock,

691
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:49.239
in a game that Texas Tech would
very much like to forget for a

692
00:47:49.320 --> 00:47:52.960
lot of reasons at this point.
There that's my yeat sound effect. I

693
00:47:52.039 --> 00:47:55.239
was trying to find a good one. Yeah, multiple technicoles get called the

694
00:47:55.280 --> 00:48:00.880
Big twelve. Reps had no control
over anything. Shocking, and Texas Tech

695
00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:04.079
fans, you know, they chanted, They got mad at me whenever I

696
00:48:04.199 --> 00:48:07.000
said there we want Kevin chant was
kind of lousy for a player that wasn't

697
00:48:07.039 --> 00:48:10.320
playing, and you wait till you're
blowing them out to chant it and then

698
00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:14.719
you had this. It's just like, okay, not the best look couple

699
00:48:14.840 --> 00:48:17.559
times this year for Texas Tech.
Texas was just railing them when that happened

700
00:48:17.599 --> 00:48:21.960
too. It was like a twenty
point game, and yeah, Texas Tech

701
00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:24.760
kind of starting to fall a little
bit. Texas, Uh, probably not

702
00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:30.119
gonna make the tournament, but good
luck. Number eight Iowa State fifty eight,

703
00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:32.719
Oklahoma forty five. Nick, I'm
sorry you stayed up late, and

704
00:48:32.880 --> 00:48:37.840
your reward is getting to read about
this terrible basketball this really good circa twenty

705
00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:43.719
seventeen Big Toll football game. The
Cyclones remained in second place, and this

706
00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:46.920
game was absolutely fun. They shot
thirty three percent win by thirteen the most

707
00:48:46.960 --> 00:48:51.039
of all start any of the ten
starters in this game. Score it is

708
00:48:51.159 --> 00:48:54.239
nine points Portermosors. Team has lost
three, all by double digits, and

709
00:48:54.320 --> 00:48:58.440
the one win was a miracle buzzer
beating overtime three to beat the last place

710
00:48:58.519 --> 00:49:00.960
team in the league. They should
be in the NCAATE tournament. No,

711
00:49:01.159 --> 00:49:06.400
yeah, I don't know. Oklahoma's
like a nine seed right now in ESPN's

712
00:49:06.440 --> 00:49:09.000
bracket. I predict they miss.
They're just not like, come on that,

713
00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:14.639
this isn't TCUs better than Oklahoma.
And I know that Kansas State got

714
00:49:15.239 --> 00:49:19.360
bent over by them at Bramledge because
they only make threes at Bramwiche against Kansas.

715
00:49:19.920 --> 00:49:22.079
But Oklahoma is not better than any
of these teams. I don't need

716
00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:24.840
them in the tournament. I don't
need them to be an eleven seed to

717
00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:29.559
lose by fifteen points to a six
Seed Saint Mary's. I don't need that.

718
00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:32.079
Do you need that? I don't
need that. Nope, no one

719
00:49:32.119 --> 00:49:35.840
does. I also don't need to
ever hear any of these teams. Landon,

720
00:49:35.840 --> 00:49:38.039
I'd like you to read about this
because I'll control the Sounders. UCF

721
00:49:38.239 --> 00:49:47.000
seventy seven Oklahoma State seventy one.
This game had a truly remarkable fifty four

722
00:49:47.159 --> 00:49:51.480
fouls. I think the reps were
going for the over on them. They

723
00:49:51.639 --> 00:49:55.000
clearly smashed it. Four players fouled
out, seven have at least four fouls.

724
00:49:55.079 --> 00:50:00.039
Look okay, people paid American dollars
to watch UC of Oklahoma State and

725
00:50:00.119 --> 00:50:08.760
then the refs decided to be masochists
or sadists or something good American citizens to

726
00:50:08.960 --> 00:50:14.079
fifty four fouls for UC of Oklahoma
State. That feels wrong. That,

727
00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:16.920
that feels like a crime. Good
week in the long run of hope,

728
00:50:17.079 --> 00:50:22.199
Mike Boyton is getting right back on
that. He's definitely getting fired train unfortunately

729
00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:27.039
for him. Yeah, his days
are numbered there in Stillwater. They have

730
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:30.079
been all year. There was a
Saint John's game earlier this year where they

731
00:50:30.159 --> 00:50:32.840
set a big East record, land
And I think you and I read about

732
00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:36.519
that. It was like forty six
fouls or something, and this game had

733
00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:38.519
fifty four by itself in a Big
twelve game, Like, is that the

734
00:50:38.559 --> 00:50:43.320
Big twelve record? It has to
be. I always look at that set.

735
00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:45.400
I've never seen one higher, and
reffs have never called more than they're

736
00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:50.920
calling right now. That has to
be a Big twelve record, And it

737
00:50:51.039 --> 00:50:54.000
was in It was in a game
between two awful basketball teams. Like who

738
00:50:54.159 --> 00:50:58.519
sat through all this? They should
get a T shirt for their participation At

739
00:50:58.559 --> 00:51:02.719
this point, I serve Big twelve
u CF Oklahoma State fifty four fouls and

740
00:51:02.760 --> 00:51:06.519
all I got was the dumb T
shirt. I think they played two games

741
00:51:06.599 --> 00:51:10.199
this year in case you wanted to
know how many how many unnecessary games?

742
00:51:10.239 --> 00:51:15.119
The sport has Big twelve standings,
closing in on a Big twelve ship in

743
00:51:15.199 --> 00:51:21.360
their first year. First place,
Houston twelve and three. The one team

744
00:51:21.440 --> 00:51:24.800
that might be able to challenge them
Iowa State in second place, third place.

745
00:51:25.079 --> 00:51:31.400
It's been since the George hw A
George hw Bush administrations and since Kansas

746
00:51:31.440 --> 00:51:37.079
when this lost this many conference games
with Baylor at nine to six, that's

747
00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:40.599
pretty wild that, at least since
tax Nik that they're that their most losses

748
00:51:40.679 --> 00:51:45.079
in conference play and they're still in
third place. In fifth place, Texas

749
00:51:45.199 --> 00:51:50.599
Tech, TCU and b YU,
they're all eight and seven and firmly and

750
00:51:50.760 --> 00:51:55.719
the little better than average in the
slightly below average tied for eighth. Oklahoma,

751
00:51:55.960 --> 00:52:00.280
Texas k State all seven and eight
in the This should be a reserved

752
00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:06.320
for TCU only, but UCF occupies
the number eleventh spot at six and nine.

753
00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:10.239
Cincinnati's five and ten. Nobody cares. No one's a fan of them,

754
00:52:12.320 --> 00:52:15.119
and we care even less in thirteenth
West Virginia and Oklahoma State four and

755
00:52:15.159 --> 00:52:22.159
eleven. So according to this,
Texas is a ten seed and Joe Lenardi's

756
00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:25.159
team and Oklahoma is an eight seed. Hey, Joe, hang it up,

757
00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:30.519
you dumb. Seriously, Rodney Terry's
glasses would fit between the gap and

758
00:52:30.679 --> 00:52:36.000
Joe Lenardi's front two teeth. It's
time to hang it up because Texas who

759
00:52:36.159 --> 00:52:38.159
is as right? We saw that
game a week ago at Allen, but

760
00:52:38.280 --> 00:52:43.559
they're better than ou. What are
we doing? What are we doing other

761
00:52:43.880 --> 00:52:46.559
games? Well, we've played the
bagpipes on the last show. Guys.

762
00:52:46.599 --> 00:52:51.239
I feel so stupid. I can't
believe I didn't see it coming, that

763
00:52:51.360 --> 00:52:55.400
this wasn't actually all that the media
cracked it up to be because Kyle Philipowski

764
00:52:55.760 --> 00:53:00.840
played a perfectly normal amount of minutes
and number ten Dukes black thing of Louisville

765
00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:04.000
goodness. See, dude, give
us their first real reason to hate them

766
00:53:04.039 --> 00:53:07.000
since coach k left. Basketball is
more fun when everybody hates Duke. In

767
00:53:07.119 --> 00:53:10.840
case you were following along at home, in a four day window, Kyle

768
00:53:10.920 --> 00:53:15.360
Philipowski went from hobbling off the court
like he was shot in a World War

769
00:53:15.440 --> 00:53:21.519
two battle in the ankle too,
being a little sore to play in a

770
00:53:21.599 --> 00:53:23.960
full amount of minutes. I was
hoping he'd miss the Louisville game. You

771
00:53:24.039 --> 00:53:27.719
know, they would sit him because
it's Louisville, and then we would really

772
00:53:27.800 --> 00:53:30.159
get that they missed the game because
of this. This is an outrage.

773
00:53:30.239 --> 00:53:32.920
Ja Billis wants people thrown in jail
for storming courts. By the way,

774
00:53:32.960 --> 00:53:38.800
in case you missed it, not, I know that sounds like a Ryan

775
00:53:38.960 --> 00:53:43.400
hyperbole being dramatic moment, it's not. He said to keep them on the

776
00:53:43.440 --> 00:53:46.280
court in sight and arrest every one
of them. Wow, that seems normal.

777
00:53:46.360 --> 00:53:50.760
It's a normal thing to say.
Huh, he is a duchie,

778
00:53:50.880 --> 00:53:54.360
he's a lawyer. Don't forget elsewhere
in the AC scene. I'm not.

779
00:53:54.360 --> 00:54:00.519
North Carolina got a record breaking forty
two points from all J. Davis and

780
00:54:00.719 --> 00:54:06.920
thirty three points from literally everyone else
on the roster to narrowly escape Miami at

781
00:54:06.960 --> 00:54:10.760
home seventy five seventy one. Duke
and You and See are tied at fourteen

782
00:54:10.840 --> 00:54:15.760
and three atop the league with three
games left. Also, Virginia scored two

783
00:54:15.840 --> 00:54:20.360
weeks worth of points in a seventy
two to sixty eight win at Boston College.

784
00:54:20.400 --> 00:54:22.800
I didn't know they were even capable
of breaking sixty, but look they

785
00:54:22.840 --> 00:54:27.639
got. They had twenty four at
halftime, so something crazy happened. Afterwards

786
00:54:27.840 --> 00:54:30.920
they got like the you know,
I ever played backyard basketball as a kid,

787
00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:34.079
when you got that juice box power
up and it would like make it

788
00:54:34.360 --> 00:54:36.719
two xes good. That's what must
have happened. You know they got that

789
00:54:36.800 --> 00:54:38.280
in the doughnut where you could dunk
from anywhere. Yeah yeah. And then

790
00:54:38.320 --> 00:54:43.280
they still only barely got into the
seventies. They remain in third place.

791
00:54:43.800 --> 00:54:46.280
Please please, please, Committee,
do not put them in the tournament.

792
00:54:46.440 --> 00:54:50.960
I cannot bear to watch this.
I try to watch at least a couple

793
00:54:51.079 --> 00:54:53.079
minutes of every single tournament game.
But if Virginia watch that, why I

794
00:54:53.280 --> 00:54:58.440
will sacrifice that stat I'll walk my
dog. I don't even have a dog.

795
00:54:58.519 --> 00:55:00.199
I'll walk my dog whenever they put
the Virginia game on the TV.

796
00:55:00.480 --> 00:55:07.360
You just have a four way leash
for your cats. Bryan has four cats.

797
00:55:07.400 --> 00:55:12.480
For those of you that didn't know, I've babysat them several times.

798
00:55:12.480 --> 00:55:14.880
I have yes, no problem.
He pays me to do it. It's

799
00:55:14.920 --> 00:55:19.480
fun when I go to see continues
to be balanced because it just means more.

800
00:55:19.639 --> 00:55:22.280
Number fourteen scored one hundred and three
points, and when it all miss

801
00:55:22.440 --> 00:55:27.519
well, Number four and Tennessee got
thirty nine points from Dalton Neck to survive

802
00:55:27.599 --> 00:55:31.000
eleven Auburn ninety to eighty four.
The Tide and the Volunteers are both twelve

803
00:55:31.079 --> 00:55:35.800
and three, good for a first
place tie in the league. I know

804
00:55:35.920 --> 00:55:37.559
that Zachiati is gonna be the National
Player of the Year, but oh my

805
00:55:37.719 --> 00:55:43.360
gosh, Dalton Neck is so good
like that. That dude is a monster.

806
00:55:43.840 --> 00:55:46.480
Tennessee is always pretty underwhelming in the
dance. He might be the reason

807
00:55:46.559 --> 00:55:50.599
this one. Here I go again. Lucy's gonna let me kick the football

808
00:55:50.639 --> 00:55:53.000
this time for real. I'm gonna
bet on Rick Barnes going deep. But

809
00:55:53.199 --> 00:55:55.679
he's got a hell of a player. He's got the best player he's had

810
00:55:57.599 --> 00:56:00.559
since Durant, Like, really,
isn't that far. It's been a long

811
00:56:00.639 --> 00:56:05.960
time since he had a player that
good. Then that's the grad transfer that

812
00:56:06.039 --> 00:56:08.960
you thought you were gonna get.
Instead Kansas got Nick Timberlake. Other notewhere.

813
00:56:09.000 --> 00:56:14.400
The SEC results include third place number
eight in South Carolina. There are

814
00:56:14.519 --> 00:56:15.440
yes, and this is a pretty
good league too. I think it's the

815
00:56:15.480 --> 00:56:20.400
second best league out there. Number
eighteen South Carolina one at am M,

816
00:56:20.440 --> 00:56:24.920
who's horrible now, Number sixteen Kentucky
barely came back to beat Mississippi State there

817
00:56:24.960 --> 00:56:31.320
and fourth and then of course everybody
in this league's pretty good except for who

818
00:56:31.599 --> 00:56:35.880
was game on the road in Gainesville, losing by just a few though.

819
00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:39.719
At number twenty four Florida, the
Tigers are oh and fifteen. I would

820
00:56:39.800 --> 00:56:44.440
push fifteen times, but it's getting
to the point where it's too many times

821
00:56:44.519 --> 00:56:47.880
to push the button in one setting. They've lost eighteen of nineteen since I

822
00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:53.679
said they were gonna be a twenty
win team. The Big East saw wins

823
00:56:53.679 --> 00:56:59.440
from her five market over Providence,
and twelfth Creighton Overseaton Hull Well Idle Number

824
00:56:59.440 --> 00:57:02.800
three Yukon maintained a two game lead
in the race. These three teams plus

825
00:57:02.840 --> 00:57:07.920
Seaton Hall, who is around fourth
year they're having there, have pulled away

826
00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:10.039
from the rest of the field.
And someone who has separated from the rest

827
00:57:10.039 --> 00:57:15.480
of the field in the wrong direction
is De Paul, who remains winless in

828
00:57:15.639 --> 00:57:21.239
conference play. They are. Oh
and Charlie Moore played for them, Yeah,

829
00:57:21.320 --> 00:57:23.159
he did. He played for He
played for half the schools out there

830
00:57:23.239 --> 00:57:27.559
for being on didn't tie On played
for De Paul too. I don't think

831
00:57:27.599 --> 00:57:30.519
he ever played. I think isn't
that where he got really injured? Like

832
00:57:30.599 --> 00:57:34.199
he played like a minute and then
he was on the roster. Yeah,

833
00:57:34.440 --> 00:57:37.599
so DePaul's leading three point shooter is
shooting. Let's take a look here.

834
00:57:37.719 --> 00:57:42.000
Wow, they have a guy who's
getting forty six percent from three and he

835
00:57:42.119 --> 00:57:45.760
takes several a game. How How
are they that bad? What is the

836
00:57:45.880 --> 00:57:49.679
problem? Yeah, there's a lot
of twenties on this roster, not a

837
00:57:49.719 --> 00:57:52.000
lot of rebounds, not a lot
of points, not a lot of baskets.

838
00:57:52.079 --> 00:57:57.800
Lots of turnovers though. Yeah,
and then in the Big East Saw

839
00:57:57.840 --> 00:58:01.840
wins from number five Marquette over prop
in years number twelve create never seat Hall.

840
00:58:01.960 --> 00:58:07.079
Nobody cares. Oh you already read
that? Yeah, sorry, I

841
00:58:07.519 --> 00:58:10.599
saw the call again. Uh,
this game hasn't officially happened yet. I

842
00:58:10.679 --> 00:58:14.840
just wanted to skip the West Coast
Conference reading because I don't care. But

843
00:58:14.960 --> 00:58:22.800
number seventeen Saint Mary's, Oh,
oh, I'm sorry, Yeah, was

844
00:58:22.880 --> 00:58:27.480
a huge favorite at Pepperdine. That
is not the snack brand, that is

845
00:58:27.639 --> 00:58:30.760
school. If they won it,
they would officially clinch it out right.

846
00:58:30.800 --> 00:58:35.800
West Coast Conference island. Gonzaga's run
of eleven straight ships. Wow, what

847
00:58:35.960 --> 00:58:39.320
a team, man, That almost
rivals Kansas as fort thirteenth straight. You

848
00:58:39.400 --> 00:58:44.119
know, I like you. I
like how you corrected it from fourteen to

849
00:58:44.239 --> 00:58:46.920
thirteen. Good NCAA compliance there,
sir. Yeah, Saint Mary's is gonna

850
00:58:46.920 --> 00:58:50.360
win at Pepperdine. This game's over
by the time you listen to it.

851
00:58:50.519 --> 00:58:52.400
If for some reason they didn't,
all they have to do is beat Gonzaga

852
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:55.800
at home on Saturday to still win
the league, and this conference race is

853
00:58:55.800 --> 00:58:59.199
about over. Good run for Gonzaga, though, like I know, we

854
00:58:59.360 --> 00:59:02.360
dump on the see see you do
anything? Eleven straight times is pretty cool.

855
00:59:02.559 --> 00:59:06.000
Good for them, good run,
that's coming to an end, and

856
00:59:06.079 --> 00:59:07.960
I'll like good. I brushed my
teeth eleven straight days. I mean that

857
00:59:08.039 --> 00:59:14.320
was pretty awesome. Broke my previous
record from nine. It's about as impressive

858
00:59:14.320 --> 00:59:15.599
if we're being honest, and that
streak has to end at some point too.

859
00:59:16.039 --> 00:59:20.599
In the Big Ten, Michigan State
lost to Ohio State on a crazy

860
00:59:20.679 --> 00:59:22.199
buzzer beating three. The Spartans are
so bad. We need to have a

861
00:59:22.239 --> 00:59:28.239
conversation about Tom Izzo at this point. Number thirteen Perdue beating Innnesota. He's

862
00:59:28.280 --> 00:59:31.320
overrated and he's also a hothead who
can't control his anger. His record in

863
00:59:31.360 --> 00:59:35.840
the last like five or six years
is almost identical to Juwan Howard's do with

864
00:59:35.960 --> 00:59:39.000
that as what you will, speaking
of anger problems. Number thirteen Perdue,

865
00:59:39.320 --> 00:59:44.199
that's not right. Why why?
Number thirteen Illinois is what I meant to

866
00:59:44.239 --> 00:59:51.199
say there? They won at in
a super sexy one oh five ninety seven

867
00:59:51.400 --> 00:59:58.159
regulation basketball game. Remember when the
show was good? Yeah? I remember

868
00:59:58.199 --> 01:00:01.079
when basketball was good? And Andy
Ena beat Wisconsin despite having to take a

869
01:00:01.159 --> 01:00:05.760
twenty minute evacuation break in the second
half because somebody pulled a fire alarm.

870
01:00:05.880 --> 01:00:08.320
Yes, that did happen. They
evacuated the student section when it got tied

871
01:00:08.800 --> 01:00:15.079
and Indiana one. Good job,
Mike Woodson, you got one. Number

872
01:00:15.239 --> 01:00:20.159
six. Arizona crushed Arizona State on
the road. They're gonna win. The

873
01:00:20.199 --> 01:00:25.280
PAC twelve a terrible league. That
is the packed one as ass ass Mountain

874
01:00:25.320 --> 01:00:30.840
West, Pack twelve White was very
good. It's actually a very good league.

875
01:00:30.920 --> 01:00:32.679
The number twenty two, Utah State, Boise State, twenty, San

876
01:00:32.719 --> 01:00:37.320
Diego State, Nevada, and UNLB
all one this week are within a game

877
01:00:37.360 --> 01:00:39.239
of each other for the league lead. How many power leagues? Is this

878
01:00:39.360 --> 01:00:45.079
conference better than? At least one? It's better than the Big ten.

879
01:00:45.440 --> 01:00:50.079
It's better that it's better than the
PAC twelve. Geez, I think it's

880
01:00:50.119 --> 01:00:52.239
better in the ACC. I think
all those teams are better than Virginia.

881
01:00:52.679 --> 01:00:57.599
Yeah, that has better teams at
the top. But it's right. It's

882
01:00:57.760 --> 01:01:00.119
it's the fourth best league in the
country at worst. Big twelve and SEC

883
01:01:00.280 --> 01:01:04.679
haven't beat Big East. Is close. It's better than the ACC. Like

884
01:01:05.000 --> 01:01:07.800
you're telling me that some of those
teams aren't everybody's gonnas duke. They are.

885
01:01:07.559 --> 01:01:13.239
Utah State would be fourteen and three
against that schedule. They can't beat

886
01:01:13.239 --> 01:01:15.960
Louisville and Notre Dame. Did we
talk about how Mississippi Valley State won yet?

887
01:01:16.000 --> 01:01:17.880
I don't remember if we did.
I don't think we did. But

888
01:01:17.960 --> 01:01:22.159
they did. They beat Prairie View
A and M at home on Monday Night.

889
01:01:22.239 --> 01:01:25.159
They're one and twenty seven now on
the season. Congratulations you guys.

890
01:01:25.199 --> 01:01:29.639
You guys won a game. There
was a court storm. Nobody tell j

891
01:01:29.840 --> 01:01:32.559
Billis he'll have you all thrown in
the slammer. Dang yeah that the state

892
01:01:32.639 --> 01:01:37.960
troopers are en route. Ray teams
to loose. It's the last show.

893
01:01:37.079 --> 01:01:44.679
Not many number seven, damn it
lost to BYU and number eleven Auburn lost

894
01:01:44.719 --> 01:01:50.039
to Tennessee. That's it. It's
all the nesting to this podcast. Oh

895
01:01:50.119 --> 01:01:52.199
wow, I was gonna give you
a pick up compliment, sir, but

896
01:01:52.360 --> 01:01:58.199
fine, BA ask RCB. Well, the first question has come from at

897
01:01:58.679 --> 01:02:02.440
Nick, who says, so when
are Nick and Landon going on a Maggiano's

898
01:02:02.559 --> 01:02:07.480
date to get the Marcos two for
fifty. We said, you guys started

899
01:02:07.519 --> 01:02:09.480
talking about maggiano is like an hour
ago, and apparently that's all that's been

900
01:02:09.519 --> 01:02:17.199
on your brain. Also, you
guys are going on a date. Uh

901
01:02:17.519 --> 01:02:23.880
yeah, Nicka. I proposed to
Nick that we should go to propose to

902
01:02:23.960 --> 01:02:30.000
meyd Italian place where you might have
to dress up. People may think we're

903
01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:32.639
a gay couple when it happens we
are. It's okay, it may look

904
01:02:32.679 --> 01:02:38.039
that way. Somebody asked Bill.
Somebody asked Bill self today if Caitlin Clark

905
01:02:38.079 --> 01:02:42.559
could play on this KU team.
We've officially run out of questions to ask

906
01:02:42.639 --> 01:02:47.840
guys the other that's it. That's
it, you know, whenever it's an

907
01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:57.119
ITP discussion question that if it's asked
the Bill self that it's bad anything talked

908
01:02:57.119 --> 01:02:59.519
about that. Okay, So I
think that you guys did great on the

909
01:02:59.639 --> 01:03:02.480
question. This week, there's a
hilarious amount of nonsense and jokes at our

910
01:03:02.519 --> 01:03:06.599
expense and actual basketball stuff. This
is gonna be a good round here.

911
01:03:06.840 --> 01:03:09.440
Let's start with one of our favorites
at Kim Lipolt Golf. How did Kyle

912
01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:15.599
Philipowski go from looking like he got
sniped by Lee Harvey Oswald to playing thirty

913
01:03:15.679 --> 01:03:22.079
minutes last night? Duke? That's
how it's that. It's that Duke medical

914
01:03:22.119 --> 01:03:25.480
school man. It's just this brotherhood, that brotherhood. They just want it

915
01:03:25.559 --> 01:03:30.000
more. Really ridiculous because he was
never really that hurt. Law school.

916
01:03:30.760 --> 01:03:36.480
I think it's both, isn't it. Duke Law School is definitely a thing.

917
01:03:37.039 --> 01:03:39.559
Duke Medical School is also a thing. It's a school of medicine law

918
01:03:39.599 --> 01:03:44.599
school. There you go, yeah, they got they have good medicine.

919
01:03:44.639 --> 01:03:46.800
And that there's a picture that's going
around that some student got right as they

920
01:03:46.840 --> 01:03:52.719
were crossing paths with Philipowski in the
court storm where he's doing like the mac

921
01:03:52.800 --> 01:03:55.960
Jones hobbling off with a hurt ankle, like crying for his mommy face,

922
01:03:57.360 --> 01:04:02.199
and he was just fine because his
soul is in pain. But that's yeah,

923
01:04:02.360 --> 01:04:06.480
and you would too if you played
for Belichick at AJ Stevenson. Does

924
01:04:06.599 --> 01:04:12.400
Duke create people like Grayson Allen or
Kyle Philipowski or do people like Alan philip

925
01:04:12.559 --> 01:04:17.440
and Philipowski just choose to go to
Duke Yes, brotherhood. Yeah, it's

926
01:04:17.599 --> 01:04:25.039
it's I mean, they clearly are
well. So the school that likes to

927
01:04:25.199 --> 01:04:28.639
like point and almost touch players in
bounding the ball is going to talk about

928
01:04:28.679 --> 01:04:31.599
how fans shouldn't interfere with games.
I think that's rich. I also think

929
01:04:31.679 --> 01:04:36.719
that Grayson Allen is the dukiest player
ever, like Philipowski is This is a

930
01:04:36.800 --> 01:04:43.760
duchy move for sure, but there's
never gonna be another Grayson Allen. Yeah,

931
01:04:44.079 --> 01:04:48.239
he's second only the latterer at dick
Underscore Taser. When will it end?

932
01:04:48.880 --> 01:04:54.760
What's the worst month? Correct?
It's February. Can you believe goons

933
01:04:54.800 --> 01:05:00.679
are celebrating this extra day? Why? Worst? Still? Cold? Football

934
01:05:00.800 --> 01:05:05.039
is over? Valentine's Day? Still
no time change? KU looked bad and

935
01:05:05.199 --> 01:05:10.519
everyone is mad. Go ahead,
change my mind. These are all excellent

936
01:05:10.599 --> 01:05:14.119
reasons. January is the worst month
of the year. It's colder than February.

937
01:05:14.199 --> 01:05:17.519
This February has been just fine,
thank you very much. February is

938
01:05:17.519 --> 01:05:20.559
the second worst month of the year. I like Valentine's Day, by the

939
01:05:20.599 --> 01:05:25.639
way, I'm not I'm it's a
good holiday. I'm gonna come in with

940
01:05:25.760 --> 01:05:32.719
a spicy take February. Yah,
here it comes. The July sucks.

941
01:05:33.280 --> 01:05:42.519
It is bad Kansas podcast. Way
too hot, way too often. Fourth

942
01:05:42.559 --> 01:05:48.079
of July is an overrated holiday.
And may I say once again that it

943
01:05:48.239 --> 01:05:55.039
is way too hot. This has
been a very good and pleasant weather February,

944
01:05:55.679 --> 01:05:58.840
but it is It's I'll give it
a pass because it's shorter than January.

945
01:05:58.920 --> 01:06:01.280
So January is, by the the
worst. But after the Chiefs win

946
01:06:01.400 --> 01:06:04.960
the super Bowl, which is happening
more years than not in the last few,

947
01:06:05.039 --> 01:06:09.679
which is amazing. Uh, it
becomes kind of just dragon and everybody

948
01:06:09.760 --> 01:06:11.800
just wants the tournament. And yes, K, you bad, but Kay

949
01:06:11.840 --> 01:06:15.079
has also had bad januaries too.
It happens both times at Boom and Frosty.

950
01:06:15.440 --> 01:06:18.599
Uh, says Nick, ahem,
you can't count, and K you

951
01:06:18.679 --> 01:06:23.960
should ask for their diploma back.
You said one ninety seven to one fifty

952
01:06:24.039 --> 01:06:28.199
six for a thirty one point win. It's actually forty one, like Landon

953
01:06:28.280 --> 01:06:30.960
correctly pointed out. To make it
worse, you went into a rant about

954
01:06:30.960 --> 01:06:35.679
how homeschooling kids can't count as somebody
who also has a master's degree. You

955
01:06:35.760 --> 01:06:42.239
should be ashamed. I'm so sorry. Thank you, Boom and Frosty.

956
01:06:43.199 --> 01:06:47.599
Justice for the homeschoolers. Let's let's
let's talk about that. Then. Are

957
01:06:47.679 --> 01:06:53.000
Frosty's good? Yeah, yeah,
they're booming. They're not They're not the

958
01:06:53.079 --> 01:07:01.320
best. Listen, Custard's so like
our true magic of a Frosty is that

959
01:07:01.400 --> 01:07:08.000
it's only attempting to be a Frosty
and it succeeds so well that Okay,

960
01:07:08.119 --> 01:07:11.519
what's better a Wendy's Frosty, or
like the Pizza Street ice cream that you

961
01:07:11.679 --> 01:07:15.320
serve yourself and put into a bowl
and it swirls a frosty frosty. By

962
01:07:15.440 --> 01:07:21.760
far, regular machines are tracked.
One going to Pizza Street means you've lost

963
01:07:26.320 --> 01:07:29.719
if you go to Pizza Street.
You know how some restaurants and they go

964
01:07:29.880 --> 01:07:32.280
ding whenever you walk in you when
you walk into Pizza Street, they play

965
01:07:32.360 --> 01:07:43.840
this. You just get the family, You just lose your job. It's

966
01:07:44.039 --> 01:07:46.400
so not good. But the ice
cream one should go there. It should

967
01:07:46.400 --> 01:07:53.599
be shut down. The amount of
health violation health Pizza Street is so many.

968
01:07:54.440 --> 01:07:58.239
I picked up an Uber delivery from
there once, uh one time ever

969
01:07:58.440 --> 01:08:01.000
and the hundreds, if not thousand
of deliveries I've done. Some owner to

970
01:08:01.079 --> 01:08:04.079
go pizza from Pizza Street and it
was in a hotel, which means that

971
01:08:04.960 --> 01:08:11.400
these poor people probably were just looking
for like a local pizza place and didn't

972
01:08:11.519 --> 01:08:15.039
know that Pizza Street. They're like, oh, we'll give this Pizza Street

973
01:08:15.039 --> 01:08:17.319
place a shot. And I was
just screaming as I was like handing it

974
01:08:17.399 --> 01:08:26.000
to them, like don't touch this
please. Six kids picked their nose immediately

975
01:08:26.079 --> 01:08:31.239
before touching that pizza pizzaz Street.
Is that a Kansas? It's in Oleitha.

976
01:08:31.399 --> 01:08:36.199
Yeah, it's used to be really
good. They used to have it

977
01:08:36.279 --> 01:08:47.760
for it's bad. Yeah, it's
dragged me Ryan, Yeah, it's it's

978
01:08:47.840 --> 01:08:54.880
like CC's but much worse somehow,
so much worse. Yeah, didn't try

979
01:08:56.000 --> 01:09:00.239
well, which just like saying if
we didn't try, how much worse it

980
01:09:00.279 --> 01:09:03.039
get? At A. J.
Stevenson, can we start calling him Fran

981
01:09:03.239 --> 01:09:11.359
for she lyar since he refuses to
say Kevin's name correctly? Pretty funny and

982
01:09:12.840 --> 01:09:16.119
as as he always says every time
he says Kevin's name incorrectly, Kevin sits

983
01:09:16.119 --> 01:09:24.560
out a game checking basketball. Oh
god, that was an accident. That's

984
01:09:24.600 --> 01:09:29.960
what happens if you eat Pizza Street. Don't do that. I would rather

985
01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:35.880
eat all the chicken tender from the
Sprit Center than what if Pizza Street made

986
01:09:36.000 --> 01:09:43.760
a sprint centered chicken tenders Pizza Landing? Mmmm? What if they've got into

987
01:09:43.760 --> 01:09:51.199
an agreement with Taco Bell and sold
that? Yeah? That reminds me,

988
01:09:51.720 --> 01:09:57.680
for no reason, in particular of
Nick Saban's famous uh tin horn. I

989
01:09:57.760 --> 01:10:00.079
think that's the kind of situation you'd
find yourself in. So does this it's

990
01:10:00.119 --> 01:10:06.439
called fart with extra reverb. That's
horrible. I don't like thinking about that.

991
01:10:08.560 --> 01:10:11.520
That is, that's what happens if
you eat the chicken tender and tacobout

992
01:10:11.520 --> 01:10:15.239
pizza at Pizza Street. At bat
Flip punch Out, Well, Kevin McCuller

993
01:10:15.399 --> 01:10:18.199
play another minute for the Jayhawks.
A couple of questions about that here?

994
01:10:19.560 --> 01:10:23.199
Yeah? Is that the only one
about the color? Wow, that's surprising.

995
01:10:23.479 --> 01:10:26.279
Yes, I think he plays within
the next week. Yeah, he'll

996
01:10:26.319 --> 01:10:29.720
he'll play again the season. If
he doesn't play in the senior night game,

997
01:10:29.760 --> 01:10:31.479
I'm starting to get a little concern
there, all right. Two questions

998
01:10:31.479 --> 01:10:35.079
about next year's roster here at bat
Flip punch Out. Who are we going

999
01:10:35.159 --> 01:10:39.479
to fix this roster if we run
it back with one kJ and Hunter?

1000
01:10:39.960 --> 01:10:43.680
And from Preston Skirtsik, what are
your early predictions on who comes back and

1001
01:10:43.720 --> 01:10:46.640
who doesn't? And from Cope Fraud
stay or go next year? Digginson Adams

1002
01:10:46.720 --> 01:10:49.279
to one A Marco Jamuri. Okay, let's do this. Uh we all

1003
01:10:49.319 --> 01:10:57.600
think for if he's gonna leave right? Uh? Yeah, yes, agreed,

1004
01:10:57.920 --> 01:11:01.560
Hunter Dickinson is gonna stay, right, I would bet so. Dewan

1005
01:11:01.640 --> 01:11:08.039
Harris is gonna be here. Yes, yes, Jamari McDowell's gonna be here.

1006
01:11:08.960 --> 01:11:14.319
Maybe that's maybe DeMarco l Marco Jackson, I think is more likely to

1007
01:11:14.399 --> 01:11:21.439
leave than stay. That's probably true. And let me see here kJ Adams,

1008
01:11:21.920 --> 01:11:25.840
that's the wild card. I think
he stays, but I think his

1009
01:11:26.039 --> 01:11:30.079
role changes. Uh, yes,
I think that's most likely. Here's the

1010
01:11:30.199 --> 01:11:34.960
thing. So we have now twice
on this podcast, been through frustrating seasons

1011
01:11:35.000 --> 01:11:41.399
for Kansas basketball standards when everybody wanted
the rosters blown up in nineteen and twenty

1012
01:11:41.439 --> 01:11:45.079
one, and Bill self kept most
of those rosters intact. And look how

1013
01:11:45.199 --> 01:11:48.600
good they were in the next year. That the nineteen team, they're like,

1014
01:11:48.640 --> 01:11:51.439
this is never gonna work with these
guys, and they were really good

1015
01:11:51.479 --> 01:11:55.600
in twenty and in twenty one it
was oh, he said they needed more

1016
01:11:55.640 --> 01:11:59.000
athletes, and they just brought back
Dave and Wilson and at Boji and look

1017
01:11:59.039 --> 01:12:01.039
how good they were. I think
that this team next year, with a

1018
01:12:01.079 --> 01:12:04.319
lot of the same pieces, could
be really, really good. Hunter Dickinson

1019
01:12:04.399 --> 01:12:09.000
is a great player, but they
have to bring in shooters. You have

1020
01:12:09.239 --> 01:12:12.760
to bring in shooters. You can't
hope that you're two They have two really

1021
01:12:12.840 --> 01:12:15.920
nice freshmen coming in. Those guys
have to be able to shoot the ball.

1022
01:12:15.000 --> 01:12:19.920
I actually don't know what they grade
out as at shooters and then hopefully

1023
01:12:19.920 --> 01:12:24.439
you hit on your transfer and it's
not Nick Timberlake. But also like self

1024
01:12:24.520 --> 01:12:30.079
did get Dickinson and Timberlake, we're
both forty percent three point shooters. He

1025
01:12:30.199 --> 01:12:32.359
went out and got two of those
guys and Arteria Morris was gonna be better

1026
01:12:32.399 --> 01:12:39.600
too. You have to you have
to get some shooters around Hunter Dickinson.

1027
01:12:39.800 --> 01:12:44.039
You cannot play the twenty ten offense
with two bigs kJ being a big and

1028
01:12:44.119 --> 01:12:47.960
have Hunter Dickinson be effective. It's
not gonna work. Yeah, not when

1029
01:12:48.800 --> 01:12:53.640
I don't want to shoot anything.
Ever. Dwan Harris is one of those

1030
01:12:53.680 --> 01:12:59.079
guys at them myself make anything.
Ever. Nick Timberlake is another at the

1031
01:12:59.239 --> 01:13:02.479
bell self won the championship two years
ago because of the player like Remy Martin.

1032
01:13:02.720 --> 01:13:05.760
But the last two years Kansas hasn't
had a player like him that can

1033
01:13:05.840 --> 01:13:09.560
create and make their own shots at
the end of the game or the shot

1034
01:13:09.640 --> 01:13:13.680
clock. Why isn't Kansas targeting these
type of players. The color has been

1035
01:13:14.399 --> 01:13:16.039
has been that the last two years
he's been a clutch, end of game

1036
01:13:16.119 --> 01:13:20.000
shot clock player hasn't been as pretty, and people are remembering the last couple

1037
01:13:20.039 --> 01:13:23.800
of weeks of Remy and not the
whole season. But Remy Martin was in

1038
01:13:23.880 --> 01:13:27.720
eighteen points a game, two time
All Power League First Team player. Those

1039
01:13:27.800 --> 01:13:30.640
type of players don't just hit the
free agency portal very much. And Kansas

1040
01:13:30.680 --> 01:13:35.039
has landed two of them. Yeah, yeah, and one of them was

1041
01:13:35.439 --> 01:13:40.880
terrific and the other one has been
terrific, albeit not as shiny. So

1042
01:13:41.560 --> 01:13:45.319
yeah, I don't know. They
Yes, if Remy Martin's grew on trees,

1043
01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:48.079
then this wouldn't be a problem,
but Remy Martins don't grow on trees,

1044
01:13:48.399 --> 01:13:51.840
and so you're constantly looking for one
they need. But what you're saying

1045
01:13:51.920 --> 01:13:56.000
with that is they need a guard
that can score, not a wing,

1046
01:13:56.439 --> 01:13:59.760
not a big they need a guard
that can score, right, Yes,

1047
01:14:00.119 --> 01:14:02.800
yeah, I do think there is
something to be said for specifically a guard

1048
01:14:03.239 --> 01:14:06.279
that can be your takeover player.
Yes, they have to have it.

1049
01:14:06.640 --> 01:14:10.720
Uh. The one is a great
player and they can absolutely win a championship

1050
01:14:10.760 --> 01:14:14.159
with the one. Hunter is a
great player and they can absolutely win a

1051
01:14:14.239 --> 01:14:17.439
championship with Hunter. And Kevin is
a great player and you can absolutely win

1052
01:14:17.439 --> 01:14:20.800
a championship with Kevin. It's the
other two. The other two positions are

1053
01:14:20.800 --> 01:14:24.600
your three on your four. They
have to be able to shoot threes.

1054
01:14:24.840 --> 01:14:29.720
Furfey has been cold and the fore
Man never shoots and Timberlake sucks. That

1055
01:14:29.920 --> 01:14:31.800
is why problem. If Furfey were
to come back next year, which I

1056
01:14:31.840 --> 01:14:35.479
wouldn't recommend he do, but if
he were to, that would be a

1057
01:14:35.520 --> 01:14:40.680
pretty sensational piece. Furfey should come
back if he's not projected to be a

1058
01:14:40.760 --> 01:14:45.079
lottery pick. The difference between going
from like eighteen to five is worth coming

1059
01:14:45.159 --> 01:14:47.800
back for another year. If he's
a lottery pick, he should go.

1060
01:14:48.239 --> 01:14:53.640
If he's not, I think it's
a conversation. Maybe. I think if

1061
01:14:53.640 --> 01:14:57.359
he's a first round pick, considering
his expectations, he's gonna have a really

1062
01:14:57.399 --> 01:15:00.479
hard time staying. See I disagree
with that. If he's like rejected to

1063
01:15:00.520 --> 01:15:01.840
go like twenty fourth, I think
he comes back, and I think that's

1064
01:15:01.880 --> 01:15:05.239
a great decision. I would love
him to come back regardless, obviously,

1065
01:15:05.359 --> 01:15:09.880
but we'll see. Yeah, Oh
absolutely yeah. At show Me, Hawk

1066
01:15:09.920 --> 01:15:13.680
turns out losing at UCF West Virginia
at k State and to BYU and Allen

1067
01:15:13.840 --> 01:15:16.199
really burn bite us in the you
know what? Yup? And normally Kansas

1068
01:15:16.279 --> 01:15:19.039
does that like twice a year,
right, they have two games that you're

1069
01:15:19.079 --> 01:15:20.920
like, huh, how they lose
that? This year they had four.

1070
01:15:21.439 --> 01:15:25.039
That's the problem. Yeah, that's
pretty good to put it. It's true.

1071
01:15:25.880 --> 01:15:29.000
I have a hopeful nugget for next
year. Ad show me hawk Bill

1072
01:15:29.119 --> 01:15:31.960
self has only made the final four
when it's in San Antonio or New Orleans,

1073
01:15:32.119 --> 01:15:34.960
and next year it's back in San
Antonio. And if I go back

1074
01:15:35.000 --> 01:15:40.960
and has to be a two and
an eight, that's true. Otherwise it's

1075
01:15:41.880 --> 01:15:45.359
just not very good. Or they
run into Villanova, which if you remember

1076
01:15:45.399 --> 01:15:50.800
what happened there, they lost by
five. Just kidding other Villanova. Uh,

1077
01:15:51.000 --> 01:15:55.720
Villanova's like the last team in in
today's projected bracket. I don't know.

1078
01:15:55.840 --> 01:15:59.479
I can't wait for Kansas to get
them into their ten seed. If

1079
01:15:59.560 --> 01:16:02.439
you have oh god, Dan,
if you ever have any asks, gard

1080
01:16:02.520 --> 01:16:06.920
CBS okay. As a rule,
if Kansas loses to Villanova and the tournament

1081
01:16:06.960 --> 01:16:13.319
again, Nick has to comeback.
Is that fair? I'm only coming back

1082
01:16:13.399 --> 01:16:17.319
if Lannon come. If Landa wins, pick them, Landon, get to

1083
01:16:17.399 --> 01:16:23.800
work. Let's get to let's get
to your next chance, all right,

1084
01:16:24.000 --> 01:16:28.479
So they go right after that fun
loss, they now have a game where

1085
01:16:28.479 --> 01:16:33.439
they're gonna be an underdog. Number
seven Kansas at number fifteen Baylor Saturday,

1086
01:16:33.680 --> 01:16:38.039
March second. Welcome to March,
John Ross, scene's gonna be all jazz

1087
01:16:38.119 --> 01:16:42.920
hands all week. At noon,
Baylor enters twenty eight or twenty and eight

1088
01:16:43.159 --> 01:16:46.000
overall and nine and six in the
Big twelve. More l's than we're used

1089
01:16:46.039 --> 01:16:50.920
to seeing at this time in the
year. For Scott Drew. The Bears

1090
01:16:50.960 --> 01:16:55.760
all about guards. Freshman Jacobe Walter
is their best you have just fourteen points

1091
01:16:55.760 --> 01:16:58.840
a night and is the team's best
finisher at the RAM. The point guard

1092
01:16:58.880 --> 01:17:02.359
is Brady j. Dennis also adds
fourteen points and six assists. Jane Dunn

1093
01:17:02.399 --> 01:17:06.680
an elite three point reserve, while
Langston Love is their best overall shooter,

1094
01:17:08.159 --> 01:17:11.600
though he's been in and out of
the lineup recently with a leg industry injury.

1095
01:17:12.039 --> 01:17:14.600
Kansas wouldn't know anything about a guy
being in and out of the lineup

1096
01:17:14.880 --> 01:17:18.239
with a leg injury, but another
barrage of great shooters coming Kansas a way.

1097
01:17:18.800 --> 01:17:23.439
Great. Baylor's front court is what
it usually is, long and athletic.

1098
01:17:23.600 --> 01:17:26.000
Their fore man is Jalen Bridges,
who has taking a big leap for

1099
01:17:26.199 --> 01:17:30.000
this year to average ten points and
shoot forty from three. Yeves Messiah is

1100
01:17:30.039 --> 01:17:33.319
the seven zero center, put in
eleven and six while blocking a couple of

1101
01:17:33.399 --> 01:17:39.279
shots per game. Josh Uji Wanna. I can't do it with these names,

1102
01:17:39.319 --> 01:17:45.439
man, I just can't. Oigian
Oigiuna? What is uh? Where

1103
01:17:45.479 --> 01:17:47.359
are we? Where's where's the name? I missed it? Oh? Oh

1104
01:17:47.479 --> 01:17:51.199
yeah, ojia Wuna yeah. And
then the white guy at the game candidate,

1105
01:17:51.279 --> 01:17:57.479
this one's easy. Caleb Loner gets
the reserve minutes. Baylor's a weird

1106
01:17:57.520 --> 01:18:00.760
team here. They are fifth nationally
forty percent shooting threes, which immediately made

1107
01:18:00.800 --> 01:18:08.000
me want to do a mixture of
and. But that number is just thirty

1108
01:18:08.039 --> 01:18:10.399
three percent. In conference play.
They have not been outs good, which

1109
01:18:10.439 --> 01:18:14.119
makes sense. They're not playing Mississippi
Valley State anymore. They're playing Houston.

1110
01:18:14.520 --> 01:18:16.640
They have an excellent offense centered around
the fact that four of the five guys

1111
01:18:16.680 --> 01:18:19.319
on the court at any given time
can shoot. They draw a lot of

1112
01:18:19.399 --> 01:18:23.439
contact. They pass really well,
right there with Kansas for one of the

1113
01:18:23.479 --> 01:18:26.640
best passing teams in the country.
And they pay out a good place,

1114
01:18:27.119 --> 01:18:30.000
they play at a good pace.
Probably pay two Baylor, Scott Drew.

1115
01:18:30.039 --> 01:18:33.279
I'm sure there's money down there.
The weaknesses include being below average. Yeah,

1116
01:18:33.279 --> 01:18:38.479
I Land, and I see you
here. I'm totally totally not wanting

1117
01:18:38.560 --> 01:18:43.800
that. That sounds terrible. The
weaknesses include being below average. Okay,

1118
01:18:43.920 --> 01:18:48.000
god, I what the notes say? Below average on the ass. I

1119
01:18:48.119 --> 01:18:54.000
have no idea what ASS means there. I'm assuming glass. I'm assuming you

1120
01:18:54.079 --> 01:19:01.800
took got gl They're not a good
glass team. It's name. Okay,

1121
01:19:01.920 --> 01:19:05.920
Well, they're they're above average or
below average in the ass, fouling a

1122
01:19:06.000 --> 01:19:10.720
good amount. They're they're prone to
turning it over thanks to their fast pace,

1123
01:19:11.079 --> 01:19:15.439
and they that sentence just just freaking
who even knows what it actually is

1124
01:19:15.439 --> 01:19:18.760
supposed to say? They've been vulnerable
points. Okay, Well hundred gets in

1125
01:19:19.079 --> 01:19:26.039
sucked giant Ostrich eggs in the last
second half against Baylor. So I do

1126
01:19:26.199 --> 01:19:30.960
want to say about how bad Baylor's
into your defense has been. But yeah,

1127
01:19:30.960 --> 01:19:34.000
I think it's gonna matter. Hunter's
gonna gonna get a technical foul whenever.

1128
01:19:34.319 --> 01:19:41.439
Baylor's just dying to get hot.
This is Kansas's first trip to Baylor's

1129
01:19:41.520 --> 01:19:45.600
all new Foster Pavilion at Mark and
Paula Hurd Court, as it has put

1130
01:19:45.640 --> 01:19:49.720
in all caps fairly enough. They
are currently on a three game losing streak

1131
01:19:49.800 --> 01:19:55.079
in Waco, with their last win
coming via Udoka as a Bookies Monster game

1132
01:19:55.199 --> 01:19:59.760
in twenty twenty. They haven't swipped
the Bears since twenty nineteen. Nick,

1133
01:20:00.119 --> 01:20:04.279
do they do it this year?
Oh? No, Kansas is gonna lose

1134
01:20:04.319 --> 01:20:08.520
back to back games. I'm gonna
say Baylor eighty three Kansas seventy nine.

1135
01:20:08.800 --> 01:20:14.640
Just don't see it. My prediction
rests on a very key thing maybe or

1136
01:20:14.680 --> 01:20:16.319
maybe not happening. So I am
going to be a coward and make two

1137
01:20:16.359 --> 01:20:19.800
predictions because I think it is a
different result if Kevin mccullar plays or not.

1138
01:20:20.039 --> 01:20:25.039
If mc can't make two predictions,
well I'm going to. So I

1139
01:20:25.159 --> 01:20:35.439
did. But if Kevin mccullor does
not play, Kansas loses, and if

1140
01:20:35.479 --> 01:20:39.560
he does, they win. I'll
say that I think they win with mccullor.

1141
01:20:40.880 --> 01:20:44.399
I don't think that Baylor is as
good as they have been and that

1142
01:20:44.640 --> 01:20:47.640
environment's just not very good and Kansas
is due to win one down there.

1143
01:20:47.720 --> 01:20:51.560
But I just I can't get myself
to trust them. Landon, I know

1144
01:20:51.600 --> 01:20:54.640
you got to make up pick them, So this is a good spot for

1145
01:20:54.720 --> 01:20:58.119
you to trust Bill self as an
underdog, I am not one. He

1146
01:20:58.199 --> 01:21:02.479
picked both sides, that's fair.
I am not going to pick Kansas to

1147
01:21:02.520 --> 01:21:06.880
win this game because I am a
big proponent of Scott Drew and Kansas hasn't

1148
01:21:06.880 --> 01:21:10.319
played well on the road, and
they haven't played well on the road down

1149
01:21:10.359 --> 01:21:14.520
there. But here's what I predict
happens. I predict Kansas plays well and

1150
01:21:14.720 --> 01:21:17.720
loses a close one. Not you
know the type of game it's gonna leave

1151
01:21:17.760 --> 01:21:20.920
you doing cartwheels, but I think
they lose seventy four to seventy two,

1152
01:21:21.319 --> 01:21:25.880
and a game where we're sitting there
going, you know what, the regular

1153
01:21:25.960 --> 01:21:29.359
season's almost over. They weren't gonna
win this league anyway the last couple of

1154
01:21:29.399 --> 01:21:32.680
weeks. But that team that we
saw that almost beat Baylor on the road

1155
01:21:32.760 --> 01:21:36.720
and was competitive, that team could
win four games in the NCAA Tournament.

1156
01:21:38.000 --> 01:21:41.239
I think that's the kind of vibe
that we get after this game. And

1157
01:21:41.359 --> 01:21:44.880
I trust Bill self, who usually
does know the buttons to push in a

1158
01:21:44.920 --> 01:21:46.840
Scott Drew game. I think Kansas
matches up well with Baylor. Wouldn't surprise

1159
01:21:46.880 --> 01:21:49.319
me if they won it, especially
if a color plays. But yeah,

1160
01:21:49.359 --> 01:21:54.680
I think that Baylor wins by a
bucket and we're sitting here feeling a lot

1161
01:21:54.800 --> 01:21:59.800
better despite the fact that they lost. Then we thought that we would.

1162
01:22:00.000 --> 01:22:01.600
Don't know, does that fair?
Is that kind of a cowardly both sides

1163
01:22:01.680 --> 01:22:04.840
or does that make sense? No, that mean's less cowardly both sides than

1164
01:22:04.880 --> 01:22:10.800
I did, so I think yeah
makes sense. Bill self said mcculler's practice

1165
01:22:10.920 --> 01:22:14.479
on Friday is gonna determine if he
plays. Certainly sounds like he has a

1166
01:22:14.560 --> 01:22:16.880
chance to play, would be awesome. I pick him will be determined on

1167
01:22:17.000 --> 01:22:19.880
if he plays or not. So
if mccullo does play, I pick Kansas

1168
01:22:19.920 --> 01:22:23.880
to win. If he sits,
I picked him to lose. Baylor opens

1169
01:22:24.159 --> 01:22:29.800
minus five, which feels a little
big for my liking. That's Kansas.

1170
01:22:29.960 --> 01:22:33.960
You can get Kansas as a five
point underdog. That feels a little bit

1171
01:22:34.439 --> 01:22:38.399
too much for my liking. I
think that I would trust. I think

1172
01:22:38.439 --> 01:22:41.680
I might trust Kansas in that spot. Also, Saint Mary's is up fifteen

1173
01:22:41.760 --> 01:22:49.479
on Pepperdine late first half Gonzaga Street. I believe it is over big twelve

1174
01:22:49.840 --> 01:22:55.159
games which Kansas could hold fifteen point
leads. That's true. Hopefully they don't

1175
01:22:55.199 --> 01:22:59.720
pull a Jayhawks, because yeah,
that means they're gonna lose big twelve games.

1176
01:22:59.800 --> 01:23:04.479
Oklahoma State at Texas in the Orange
Bowl. But it's bad Longhorns.

1177
01:23:04.520 --> 01:23:08.880
But boy, here's where we trust
them and they do something stupid. I

1178
01:23:08.960 --> 01:23:15.840
trust them more than Oklahoma State.
Yeah. Number eight, Iowa State at

1179
01:23:15.920 --> 01:23:19.399
UCF. I will take the Knights. I think Iowa State is due to

1180
01:23:19.560 --> 01:23:21.720
lose a game. Row really,
look at you all right, Yeah,

1181
01:23:21.760 --> 01:23:27.439
think they're due to lose one.
I take Iowa State. Texas Tech at

1182
01:23:27.479 --> 01:23:30.520
West Virginia Red Raiders are bleeding a
little bit. Do they win on the

1183
01:23:30.600 --> 01:23:36.039
road. Nope? Yeah, I
don't think they do either. Oh Man,

1184
01:23:36.920 --> 01:23:42.359
Texas Tech. So Nick with a
good pick and week is pretty much

1185
01:23:42.399 --> 01:23:44.720
going to bury this thing. It
might already be buried, but Landon,

1186
01:23:44.760 --> 01:23:47.720
you have the opportunity here if enough
things go right, and we'll see Kansas

1187
01:23:47.760 --> 01:23:50.920
State at Cincinnati. I am not
picking Jerome Tang on the road. I'll

1188
01:23:50.960 --> 01:23:58.159
take the bear Cats. Uh yeah, I don't know if I don't know

1189
01:23:58.199 --> 01:24:00.439
if I can either. But Kase
State both these teams are playing with some

1190
01:24:00.520 --> 01:24:05.600
amount of desperation because they're both bubble
ish. Cincinnati's not even close right now,

1191
01:24:08.359 --> 01:24:11.199
that's that is true. They do
have ten conference losses. I guess

1192
01:24:12.399 --> 01:24:17.079
give me the Wildcats. Give me
the Wildcats. Are you picking case State,

1193
01:24:17.159 --> 01:24:23.119
Nick? Yes? All right?
Interesting. Number one Houston at Oklahoma.

1194
01:24:23.560 --> 01:24:26.800
I do not care. I would
entertain Houston losing this game to about

1195
01:24:26.800 --> 01:24:30.479
a dozen Big twelve opponents, but
Porter Moser's lousy ass is not one of

1196
01:24:30.560 --> 01:24:35.279
them. Houston by twenty. Yeah, Houston's winning. I don't know,

1197
01:24:35.359 --> 01:24:41.079
guys, the United Supermarkets Arena or
I botched the joke. I don't know,

1198
01:24:41.159 --> 01:24:45.159
guys. That Lloyd Noble Center might
offer some resistance. It might be

1199
01:24:45.319 --> 01:24:49.479
really loud down there to sue.
You could hear all thirteen people that are

1200
01:24:49.520 --> 01:24:53.479
in the attendance. They cheer like
a champion, just like it says to

1201
01:24:53.600 --> 01:25:00.319
do TCU at BYU. I will. I want to take TCU because I

1202
01:25:00.399 --> 01:25:03.319
think BYU is gonna fall flat.
Yeah, I'm gonna do it. I'm

1203
01:25:03.359 --> 01:25:08.000
gonna take them. I play there
at home. I'll take the Cougars.

1204
01:25:08.039 --> 01:25:12.680
But I like that strategy. Other
games. Number five Marquette at number twelve

1205
01:25:12.760 --> 01:25:15.880
Creighton. Yukon didn't win at Creighton. Marquette won't either. Give me the

1206
01:25:15.920 --> 01:25:28.399
Blue Jays Eagles Creighton. Number thirteen
Illinois at Wisconsin. I will take the

1207
01:25:28.520 --> 01:25:32.039
upset here. I think Wisconsin wins
and saves their tournament hopes. Yeah.

1208
01:25:32.119 --> 01:25:36.479
Same Number four Tennessee at number fourteen
Alabama, battle of the leaders in the

1209
01:25:36.640 --> 01:25:44.039
SEC. I will take oh oh. This is my audition for you,

1210
01:25:44.199 --> 01:25:46.600
Rick. I'll bet on Rick Barnes
here in a March game. Give me

1211
01:25:46.680 --> 01:25:53.359
the gimme the Bolls. I am
to all miss at Missouri. This is

1212
01:25:53.720 --> 01:25:58.279
the chance for the Tigers, who
are giving a forty eight percent chance to

1213
01:25:58.319 --> 01:26:00.960
win this game for ESPN. Is
the the conference win? It is?

1214
01:26:01.520 --> 01:26:04.600
It is we are MISSOI yeah,
I agree, I think it is due.

1215
01:26:12.239 --> 01:26:15.720
Yeah, I'll go to Missouri.
Whatever Lanta you want to switch.

1216
01:26:16.079 --> 01:26:18.439
You have a chance to be the
only one that doesn't pick an oh to

1217
01:26:18.600 --> 01:26:24.640
fifteen team. I've disagreed with Nick
quite a bit, I think so far.

1218
01:26:24.960 --> 01:26:28.560
So all right, we're I'll pick
in Missouri. Number Nobody deserves to

1219
01:26:28.640 --> 01:26:31.800
lose to Missouri, like Chris Beard. That that's that's that's the guy who

1220
01:26:31.840 --> 01:26:35.039
deserves it. The most and number
twenty three, Gonzaga at number seventeen.

1221
01:26:35.079 --> 01:26:42.159
Saint Mary's I will take in Zaga
on the roads. In a statement,

1222
01:26:42.239 --> 01:26:46.600
dub Saint Mary's is probably gonna have
that league wrapped. They're up forty two

1223
01:26:46.600 --> 01:26:50.039
to twenty right now on the Gonzaga
arrivals. I don't I don't think they're

1224
01:26:50.039 --> 01:26:54.680
gonna want to let Kenzaga win that
Gonzaga's gotta win to get in the tournament.

1225
01:26:54.760 --> 01:26:57.840
I'm gonna say they do. But
yeah, it's it won't mean anything

1226
01:26:57.840 --> 01:27:00.119
in the league race. Look at
us go all right next Sunday at some

1227
01:27:00.279 --> 01:27:03.680
point, right, I would guess
that's what we normally do. Could be,

1228
01:27:04.640 --> 01:27:08.439
could be, could be not.
There's only two regular season games left

1229
01:27:08.479 --> 01:27:11.239
after this, and then the Jayhawks
are getting ready to play a bunch of

1230
01:27:11.359 --> 01:27:15.960
postseason games. Right, that's absolutely
happening. They're gonna play definitely more than

1231
01:27:15.039 --> 01:27:21.000
two, right right, right,
of course, I can't see what's coming

1232
01:27:21.079 --> 01:27:27.760
up behind me. I don't please, Yeah, that Canada. How many

1233
01:27:28.039 --> 01:27:32.239
posts? If I gave you right
now over under four and a half postseason

1234
01:27:32.279 --> 01:27:34.680
games, Kansas Plates, what are
you taking? You said? Four and

1235
01:27:34.720 --> 01:27:39.720
a half? Yeah, Nick,
what do you think over under four and

1236
01:27:39.760 --> 01:27:45.119
a half. Oh, because they're
probably that's at least at least that is,

1237
01:27:45.239 --> 01:27:49.359
at least two wins in each of
the tournaments in all likelihood, I

1238
01:27:49.479 --> 01:27:55.520
think I would max them at six
none of the Big twelve tournament and all

1239
01:27:55.560 --> 01:27:59.399
in the Big Dance. If yeah, that'd be great. I'll take that.

1240
01:28:00.399 --> 01:28:03.640
What's the if they lose out forfeit
the NCAA or the Big twelve tournament

1241
01:28:04.600 --> 01:28:12.880
works. What's their seed? What's
their seed if they lose out? The

1242
01:28:12.960 --> 01:28:15.960
high four? Probably probably the best
four seed. Wow, you think that

1243
01:28:15.039 --> 01:28:19.880
they're a four if they lose out? I mean it's only four more games.

1244
01:28:21.560 --> 01:28:25.079
There'd be three more games, are
now Baylor? Okay? Yeah,

1245
01:28:25.119 --> 01:28:28.439
you're right. I think they're gonna
be a I think they're gonna wind up

1246
01:28:28.479 --> 01:28:30.520
as a two seed. I do. I think they're gonna make a run

1247
01:28:30.560 --> 01:28:34.920
in the Big twelve tournament. I'd
maybe we'll see. Let's take a look

1248
01:28:35.000 --> 01:28:41.880
right now. What is so Big
twelve bracket generator? Please release me from

1249
01:28:41.960 --> 01:28:48.680
this. Okay, So if Kansas, geez, if Kansas loses the Baylor

1250
01:28:48.760 --> 01:28:54.239
and Houston, they could be as
low as a six seed. Where they

1251
01:28:54.439 --> 01:28:59.239
because they they could be behind BYU
and Texas Tech, who both beat them

1252
01:28:59.479 --> 01:29:02.439
once. Uh. One of the
thing, get that b y U nudge

1253
01:29:02.479 --> 01:29:08.560
of losing but going up in the
net. That's true. It could barely

1254
01:29:09.000 --> 01:29:12.359
barely help them in that in that
sense. All right, well that's our

1255
01:29:12.439 --> 01:29:15.800
show. We will be back on
UH on Monday for you after they after

1256
01:29:15.840 --> 01:29:18.800
they played Balor. I'm Ryan Landred, this is inside the paint. I

1257
01:29:19.319 --> 01:29:23.720
am a guy that could play for
b YU. I just want to eat

1258
01:29:23.720 --> 01:29:29.720
at Maggiano's. Man, let me
think I think that you are over estimating

1259
01:29:29.760 --> 01:29:36.319
Maggianos. Sir. It's it's not
gonna change your life like like your rest

1260
01:29:36.439 --> 01:29:45.239
until he eats Magianos. Yeah,
that's one of Johnson County reason to go.

1261
01:29:45.720 --> 01:29:48.560
Get the raspberry lemonade. It's very
very good. That's that's my that's

1262
01:29:48.640 --> 01:29:54.600
my favorite appropriate drink to have it
in sit down italian place. Yeah,

1263
01:29:54.680 --> 01:29:58.079
but yeah, it was very good
with all the pasta that you can stuff

1264
01:29:58.119 --> 01:30:01.399
into your gut. Uh. They
also offer you an opportunity to pay an

1265
01:30:01.439 --> 01:30:08.279
extra six dollars and get a second
equally big pasta portion to take home in

1266
01:30:08.399 --> 01:30:12.720
a bag. So if you like
it, add the six bucks yet,

1267
01:30:12.760 --> 01:30:15.399
well then you're eating pasta for a
week. But yeah, it's it's quite

1268
01:30:15.439 --> 01:30:19.359
good, all right, Jo Jayhawks. I guess the
