WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:08.480 Well, a giant colossal to open up our week, So what else would 2 00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:15.359 you end your week with? Then are car crash of a podcast, but 3 00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:18.239 you'll have to do it with just two people. This is inside the Paint. 4 00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.719 We're going to talk about Kansas laying a giant egg. Some would even 5 00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:27.559 say a giant turd in Lubbock, which is the same state that one third 6 00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:30.879 of us is at. Nick, tell me all about what is our buddy 7 00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:35.880 Landon doing in a lone star state. Yeah, Landon picked up a gig 8 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:41.479 job. He is in Texas filming twelve year old dance in a dance competition. 9 00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:49.320 It is worth mentioning that, yes, Landon is doing videography for a 10 00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:57.280 professional company that is filming dance routines I dance competition. So Landon is not 11 00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.320 that's a big money. There's lots of money in that industry for him. 12 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:02.520 He's getting paid a lot. He's gonna paid like two grand for like a 13 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:06.599 week in there. So yeah, he's getting paid good money to go visit 14 00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:11.560 Texas, the site of our Lord and Savior most recently. But also a 15 00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:17.920 guy from Lubbock just won a Super Bowl on Sunday, So oh yes, 16 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:23.200 that that did happen that. Maybe that's why I feel like, if Kansas 17 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.280 is gonna lose twenty nine point games, you may as well do it the 18 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.680 day after the Chiefs win it all because I gotta tell you, I don't 19 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.719 I don't really remember much about that Ku game. I've watched Patrick Mahomes game 20 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.359 winning drive about twelve times, and I haven't watched a second of this game 21 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.079 from the moment that it ended. So I guess that was the way to 22 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:44.680 do it. This is inside the Paint on Rock Chalk Blog. I'm Ryan 23 00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:49.239 Landruth and I'm Nick quite brute. Nick's still on his Farewell Tour podcast, 24 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.920 and he's putting it all out there for you guys because we don't have landing 25 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.959 and I'm sure it is very tempting, sir, to phone it in, 26 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.040 but not on the Inside the Paint podcast. You are not pulling a Jayhawks 27 00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:04.000 and completely in and getting worse as the season goes along. Let's talk all 28 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:07.800 about it, AJ. I know you don't like the merry noise, but 29 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:12.280 they are undefeated in WCC play, so I will play it until they're no 30 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:21.840 longer undefeated. Texas Tech seventy nine, number six, Kansas wait for it, 31 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:31.199 wait for it, fifty. Uh, you really can't play worse. 32 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:36.800 I don't think like there's always it could have been worse guy, But I 33 00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:40.280 don't think that guy even appeared in the Twitter mentions because you can't play worse 34 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:46.680 than that. No, I mean every single metric, it's hard to find 35 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.120 one thing that they did they did well in this game. And maybe it 36 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.639 was tying their sneakers before the game, but that's probably the closest you're gonna 37 00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.439 get to. They made their way to the arena. At least the bus 38 00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.759 driver was on his game in this day, and Bill Sealth the quarter zips 39 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.360 I thought, look good on the coaches. I like the Navy quarter zip 40 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:08.080 the National Championship game vibes. But yeah, there isn't much of a game 41 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:10.960 story here. Kansas was behind by nine and a half time, and that 42 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:15.120 felt like a win in itself. People on Twitter started talking themselves into well, 43 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:19.199 hey, if they could come out and have a good couple of possessions 44 00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:23.280 early on, they may be up against the eight ball only seven scholarship players, 45 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.159 but you know, let's see what happens should they get off to a 46 00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:29.599 good start in the second half, And they did not that, because then 47 00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.520 the floor fell out in the second half, Kansas got out or Kansas scored 48 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:38.599 just fifty points, shot thirty three percent from the floor, shot nineteen percent 49 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.240 from three, and for good measure, got out rebounded by nineteen oh and 50 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.000 their coach got ejected and they're now one in five in conference road games. 51 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:53.840 But other than that, can't complain. Other than that, just that barrage 52 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:59.400 of nonsense. Ugh, yeah, I mean there's really like, what do 53 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:00.560 you even start break down this game? I mean, we knew they were 54 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.840 gonna be shorthanded, like you said, coming into this game, obviously, 55 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:08.120 you know, Kevin mccohler, And yeah, like you said, it really 56 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.919 felt like at halftime they were kind of skirting some luck. After you know, 57 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:14.639 they played poorly in the first half. We're able to keep it somewhat 58 00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.920 close at a three that Nicholas Timberlake banged in and kind of got kept them 59 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.959 at a closer pace under ten, and then, like you said, second 60 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:25.079 half, hopes that it's going to start off well, and then all of 61 00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.759 a sudden, Texas Tech rolls to like an eighteen point lead, continues hitting 62 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.079 threes, and Texas Tech also had a guy that made all of his shots 63 00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.279 and score like twenty points. So really, I mean, if you could 64 00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:38.879 talk about not your night type of game, like you said, that's pretty 65 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.560 much not your type night type of game. Yeah, you're right. And 66 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.199 like I've sat here and talked about how I thought Kansas has been unlucky and 67 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.160 the road losses haven't phased me. I'm not gonna tell you that it's all 68 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:55.399 gloom and doom because games like this where it all just doesn't go. I 69 00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:57.959 should have done a better job seeing this coming. You guys both picked them 70 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.480 to lose close games. I thought they'd win a close game. The schedule 71 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:04.480 was brutal, having the two day turnaround again going on the road. They 72 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:10.519 had just seven players, and this was kind of easy in hindsight to see 73 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.040 coming a little bit more than we saw it, tough place to play all 74 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:18.199 that, Kansas had redeeming qualities in just about all of their road games. 75 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.399 That may just say, yeah, they may have blown that sixteen point lead 76 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:25.240 to UCF, but you know, you see, it's better than we thought. 77 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:29.360 Or yeah, I know that they lost the Case State, but overtime 78 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:31.920 road games are tough. Yeah, I know they lost to West Virginia, 79 00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:33.800 but I mean, geez, they made twelve three, so they gonna do 80 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:39.480 that this one though. You really can't say a but about they just got 81 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:43.399 their their doors blown off them in this one. And these type of games 82 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.439 do happen. Sometimes they're not normally by twenty nine, but they get blown 83 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:51.000 out in conference games sometimes. This is why Mildfieldhouse too. Yeah, it's 84 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:55.959 happened. Like they've had a twenty point l in each of the last like 85 00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:00.000 three or four seasons. It's not a doomsday scenario to have one of those. 86 00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.800 The problem is they've already racked up more than their fair share of road 87 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:10.199 ls. If you had just closed out UCF and case State games, you 88 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:13.759 led by double digits, you're sitting there at nine and three and we're like, 89 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:15.600 yeah, just blaming on the injuries, and it's fine, but it's 90 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.560 because they didn't take care of their business in any of the other road games. 91 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.680 And now you know, you can make an argument after the first couple 92 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:25.439 road losses when we were like, oh, they normally win road games, 93 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.720 and they're just one and two, like small sample size, one in five 94 00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:31.199 is two thirds of the road conference late, like we're running out of time 95 00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:35.040 to say it's a small sample size. And by the way, one in 96 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:39.959 five still gotta go to Waco, still gotta go to Houston. They will 97 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:43.639 be underdogs in both places. They may be an underdog in Norman on Saturdays. 98 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:49.040 So yeah, one in eight is not completely off the table in conference 99 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:51.600 play for road games, which is kind of scary. I don't know, 100 00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:56.480 I assume that you want to say, just flush it. They're not twenty 101 00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:59.839 nine points worse than Texas Tech. There's a few few reasons that went, 102 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:02.279 but like, it's kind of hard to give these guys the benefit of the 103 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.240 doubt for losing on the road when that's all they've done for two months. 104 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.680 Yeah, the only thing you can really hang out is that they're shorthanded and 105 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.920 they've gotten kind of a shaft when it comes to Big twelve schedule and having 106 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:17.000 to play back to back weeks a big Monday on the road against very rassius 107 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:21.319 raccus environments. So especially when your team's crippled like that. You know, 108 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:25.120 de One Harris was injured and now mccoler has been out two games in a 109 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:28.959 row. They got no favors from the scheduling, and I'm not saying that 110 00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.519 that's some excuse, but it like it all cumulates into, you know, 111 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.800 just kind of the reason why they just came so flat. And then also 112 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:42.759 fewest points for Kansas in a conference game and herself adding to the statistics, 113 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.480 there's only been two games that they scored less than fifty in guess the other 114 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:50.040 one was I know, two thousand and five Arizona. Yeah, the five 115 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:55.120 against Arizona where they still almost won in the in the end somehow. And 116 00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:59.600 then of course the game of Death. I guess it is possible to play 117 00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.279 where than they did. I was hoping this was vodka, but no, 118 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.759 just yeah, that game, the Kentucky thirty eight and O team loss in 119 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:11.879 the Champions Classic. So at are. One of the better KU Twitter followers 120 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:18.560 or follows is Ryan Reinhart who runs the Ain't No Seats podcast, and he 121 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:24.079 talked about how this team is starting to really give off twenty twelve or Not 122 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.480 twenty twelve twenty nineteen Vibes, which was the team that ended the streak. 123 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:35.320 I've been hesitant. I don't want to look that way because it's just it's 124 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.159 just a bad omen Like that was the last team that was number one. 125 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:45.360 We saw a guy get injured and miss extended time with Doke. Well, 126 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.960 look at McCuller. We saw a guy have to leave the team for personal 127 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:52.799 reasons. Vic that year, or Terry Morris this year. There was a 128 00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.600 blue chip freshman who underwhelmed Grimes that year, Al Marco this year. There 129 00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.600 was a big impact transfer that we thought was gonna be really good and hasn't 130 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.440 done much. Timberlake this year. Back in twenty nineteen was Charlie Moore. 131 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.399 And then there was the dedrich Gloss and Hunter Dickinson who are kind of the 132 00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:13.039 same player doing their thing, posting all the stats, but there just seems 133 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:18.000 to be something missing. That team lost six road games. That team was 134 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.879 a four seed that got destroyed in the round of thirty two, and did 135 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.679 it. They finished third in the Big twelve and did it make the second 136 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.120 weekend? Similar vibes from this team or is it kinda do you still are 137 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:33.519 you still holding out some hope? You know, they've been they haven't played 138 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.879 very many neutral site games and they haven't lost the road game yet. So 139 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:41.799 I'm not saying that that the site factors in everything, but this team is 140 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:48.159 kind of giving shade to that twenty nineteen team. Honestly, just kind of 141 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.519 how things have gone this season. Seems like they're very very that they are 142 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:58.240 very thin a roster wise, and they obviously have a better couple better forwards 143 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.720 than that twenty ninet team did. But I you know, I wouldn't rule 144 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:05.759 out an unruly ground of thirty two exit this year. I think this seems 145 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:11.320 a lot better than that one. I don't know if that's if that may 146 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:16.600 be still me holding on to too much hope here, but I believe that 147 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.879 this year this team is much better than that one. I believe that they'll 148 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:26.600 get it rolling in some capacity. This team has a better resume than that 149 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:30.399 one did. I believe this team has a higher ceiling than that one did, 150 00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.559 and we've seen this team take it to the best teams in the conference. 151 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.360 Also, that team twenty nineteen beat the two teams that won the league, 152 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:39.679 Case State and Texas Tech Tech went all the way of the title game 153 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.039 that year. They beat both of those teams at home by double digits. 154 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:48.960 Ironically, that was the last time a Kansas team went undefeated at home throughout 155 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.840 an entire season, and barring an upset to Oklahoa or No, it was 156 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.879 at Texas BYU and KSE State. Barring a major upset, this team should 157 00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:00.159 go undefeated at home as well. So yeah, just weird. I'm not 158 00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.440 ready to quite bang the drum there, but the similarities are are definitely real. 159 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.759 Okay, well, let's get into the players here. We're not gonna 160 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.799 spend a ton of time analyzing stat lines because wow, they are all terrible. 161 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.320 I do believe that we got to kind of put everybody in a trio. 162 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.600 We knew without Kevin McCuller and Jamar McDowell, who's a lesser piece, 163 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.799 but still they have seven scholarship players, including the big twelves leading scorer out 164 00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:28.399 we knew that the big three that they still had left would have to play 165 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:35.639 well, and instead they played the opposite of Well, yeah, a Hunter 166 00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:39.519 Dickinson Cage Adams into one Harris combined to go five for thirty from the floor, 167 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.120 beginning with Dickinson, who was two for twelve shooting and had five points 168 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.279 and seven rebounds for easily his worst game as a Jayock. He was awful, 169 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:50.759 had some disadvantages like being double team ever possession and being hacked endlessly without 170 00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.039 drawing foul calls. That's why Bill self was ejected. He made the postgame 171 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.600 presser that he has been frustrated with the calls this season and Dickinson has not 172 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:03.639 gotten a call this season, and then he was hacked in this See, 173 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.000 like we said, it was downright awful. Minus thirty six on the night. 174 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.399 Oh my gosh, minus that's that's brutal. So minus thirty six I've 175 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:16.960 only seen once at KU and that was Christian Brown against USC, which is 176 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.720 that that the USC game was worse than this one. Hunter Dickinson was a 177 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.720 minus thirty six in a game that Texas Tech only scored seventy nine points. 178 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:31.320 Now only seventy nine doesn't sound that sounds a little bit like like not but 179 00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.200 in order, you normally don't get a minus thirty six unless you give up 180 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:41.440 like one hundred. So that's that's pretty wild, pretty pretty terrible, Uh, 181 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:46.039 Dickinson. I'm not I know. I've been the biggest Hunter Dickinson apologist 182 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:48.480 for his poor showings this year. I still think that people on Twitter who 183 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:52.440 are talking about how he's soft or not good, I don't agree with that 184 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:54.840 this was a bad game. He's been a better shooter. He's been in 185 00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.559 a rough couple of week strets. He can't make threes at all. It 186 00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:03.519 might be time to stop trying that three or four times a game. But 187 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:07.240 yeah, self got ejected because of Dickinson got fouled multiple times. They didn't 188 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.080 call either one and they then they called the offensive foul or whatever. And 189 00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.399 that's when Seal said, you know what, I think I'd like to watch 190 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.399 the rest of this one from the locker room. And he said after the 191 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:22.480 game that Hunter Dickinson's not being not being I mean, Zach Edy has I 192 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:26.759 posted this stat and it absolutely blows my mind. Hunter Dickinson is not as 193 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:28.679 good as Zach Edy. Right, we can all agree on that Zach Edy's 194 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.240 best player in the country's the best big. He's also a system player, 195 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.440 but he's also seven to four, which helps. Yeah, but he also 196 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:41.159 has a reputation and it's this is just a completely ridiculous stat. Hunter Dickinson 197 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:46.159 has taken sixty eight free throws this year in the same number of games. 198 00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:54.240 Zach Edy has taken two hundred and sixty one one hundred and ninety three more 199 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:58.159 free throws taken by Edie than Dickinson. Dickinson doesn't just camp under the basket 200 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:03.320 like Edie does all the time, but come on, hundred Dickinson's got sixty 201 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:07.720 eight free throws in twenty five games. Bill self has a beef. Yeah, 202 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.519 No, absolutely, his rightfully sell because you know it is. I 203 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:15.840 think it's a lot has to do with selling it to Hunter. Dickinson doesn't 204 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.360 really sell it. He does, you know, kind of throw his arms 205 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:22.559 up in the air after it's not called. But yeah, he's he. 206 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:24.600 I don't know if it's gonna be more aggressive, but it's just kind of 207 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:28.600 who he is, like he's not He's kind of a lengey guy that just 208 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.679 goes up and you know, gets tapped and doesn't get called for it. 209 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:37.039 But I don't know, it's very odd. Another another big for ku kJ 210 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:39.519 Adams entered as the Big Twelves leader in field goal percentage, went one for 211 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.879 ten from the floor, added just three rebounds in a team high thirty six 212 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.960 minutes. KU is minus forty three on the glass in its last three games. 213 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:52.159 You pointed this out, You had the right call on this, kJ 214 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:56.639 Adams. He had nine boards in those games. Not good at early running. 215 00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:00.159 A big liability for Kansas on the defensive end. Yeah, that that's 216 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.240 the problem. That's problem one. That's ground zero right now. It's the 217 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.240 rebounding. This team can't shoot and they can't rebound. Well, who does 218 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.399 that sound like? That's kJ Adams. You gotta be able to do that. 219 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.279 He can jump out of the gym. He's probably closer to six six 220 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.279 than the six to seven they list him as. He's just not long enough. 221 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.320 He plays pretty long at times for his uh, considering how athletic he 222 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.759 is and considering how good of a scorer he can be. Most Knights at 223 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.080 the basket. But I posted online if he's not going to and a couple. 224 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:31.879 This was a very mixed reaction. Some KU fans thought this was a 225 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:33.759 horrible take, and some agreed with it. If kJ Adams isn't gonna make 226 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.559 shots at the rim, he's gotta sit. You can't play him. He 227 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:41.080 doesn't rebound, he doesn't shoot. If he's gonna miss shots at the basket, 228 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:43.519 you gotta try to put guys like I mean, Furfey, Timberlake, 229 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.320 and Jackson need to all be out there around to want Harris at that point, 230 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.639 because Adams was giving them nothing. And I love kJ Adams as a 231 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:54.240 player. I like so much of his game, but yes, I think 232 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:58.600 that whenever your four man can't rebound. Hunter Dickinson's a very good rebounder hundred 233 00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:02.120 Dickens at twenty six rebounds in the last three games. By the way, 234 00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:06.120 that's nine per game. He's not the problem. But whenever you put kJ 235 00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:08.960 Adams next to them, you can't have your your four man getting you three 236 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:12.840 boards a game. As you're getting punked by minus fifteen on average for three 237 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:18.600 straight nights, that is going to spell all sorts of problems. I don't 238 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:21.720 know, Cam, how do they how do they fix this? Like Kj's 239 00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:23.120 playing a lot, Like it wasn't a problem earlier in the year, but 240 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:26.720 that's because they were shooting a better percentage. How do you fix this? 241 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:29.639 He's not going to rebound. You just have to try to find other ways 242 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:36.639 to score. Yeah, that's that's tough. I mean, like, I 243 00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:40.600 totally agree with you though on the fact that, uh, it's just he's 244 00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:44.440 just kJ Adams is too much of a liability, and I don't the solution 245 00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:48.240 isn't very clear either, because like if you're gonna sub in Parker Brown or 246 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:49.799 move guys around a little bit and mix it up, go a little bit 247 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:55.559 smaller. I just don't see that working well for KU either. So I 248 00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:59.559 don't mind that either. I don't mind playing Dickinson and Brown together and then 249 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:03.799 putting for feed Timberlake and Harris out there without mccullor. Like I know, 250 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:07.920 the two bigs is very nineteen eighties of Bill. But yeah, if it's 251 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:11.000 if. If kJ is not scoring, and as a result, by the 252 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.559 way, Hunter Dickinson gets double teamed all the time because they don't bother putting 253 00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.400 a body on kJ unless he gets within three feet of the basket. They 254 00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:22.680 just don't care unless he gets in the paint area at minimum, and more 255 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:26.559 realistically within three feet of the basket. If Hunter's gonna get double teamed and 256 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.440 no one's gonna care if kJ touches the ball, your best path to try 257 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:34.200 to get Hunter some open shots and to get three point opportunities is to put 258 00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:40.119 four play four out around Dickinson because kJ is not doing anything. I don't 259 00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:42.039 mind a little more Parker Brown too. I guess you just like having a 260 00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:47.880 cooler back. Yeah, And it sounds like yeah, right. They they 261 00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:52.799 avoided a loss against Baylor, but we knew that eventually, whenever you don't 262 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.640 have your best player or your most important whatever you want to say. Mccullor 263 00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:59.599 is, we knew eventually there would come a day where it all hit the 264 00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:03.079 fan. Hit the fan in both ways, because I think mccullor would have 265 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:10.119 been the one that would have been guarding the unbelievable performance that what was the 266 00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:14.920 dude's name I should know this, Darian Williams. Darien Williams almost aid Damian 267 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:18.319 Williams if he played for the Chiefs one hundred decads in, probably would have 268 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:21.079 been the guy that would have been been tasked with slowing that down. And 269 00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:25.279 then you would have really really liked to have had that nineteen points per game 270 00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:27.720 that mccullor has, would have really liked to have had that. Well, 271 00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:32.200 here is a weird stat. This is one of the weirdest stats I've seen. 272 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:36.279 Kansas is five and three in their last eight trips to Lubbock. That's 273 00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:41.599 a winning record, but they have a minus fifty five point differential. They 274 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:47.160 have either one squeakers or lost by twenty nine likes. That's right. They 275 00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:51.559 have twenty nine, twenty nine and ten point losses and the wins are like 276 00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:56.880 three, one, four, five. Little things like that have not won 277 00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:00.720 by double digits in Lubbock since two than and fifteen. They're actually eight and 278 00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.880 three in their last eleven games down there. I mean, that's not a 279 00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:08.000 small sample size. That's winning three out of every four matchups. It's a 280 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:12.039 seventy five winning percentage. They're eight and three in their last eleven and they're 281 00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:18.440 still minus twenty two endpoint differential. That's crazy. That's Lubbock is a tough 282 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.119 place to play. The fans are rowdy, and they're very active on Twitter, 283 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:25.880 and they have a great fan base. But and that place has earned 284 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:30.720 its reputation as one of the rowdiest arenas in the country. Yeah, and 285 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.519 moving on, Guys who we'd hope would step up in the absence of Kevin 286 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:38.079 mccollard kind of did in this game, but not enough. None of it 287 00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:41.559 would have mattered. They could have had Lebron James play and it probably wouldn't 288 00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:45.400 have gotten them to win in this game. But Nick Timberlake and Johnny fur 289 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.880 if you both tied the team lead thirteen points each. Timberlake had his best 290 00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:52.079 game of the season statistically, going five to seven from the floor with two 291 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:55.519 threes and twenty nine minutes. Of course, it's in the game, they 292 00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:57.559 lose by twenty nine points. Yeah. So if he made his first three 293 00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:02.440 since Houston by going four for eight from the floor seven rebounds in thirty two 294 00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:04.720 minutes, what do you digest of these wings? Yeah, you bring up 295 00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:08.440 a good point about how Timberlake finally plays well and the team falls to the 296 00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:12.559 floor. Somebody on Twitter, I think it was a case they fan found 297 00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:18.240 I exactly one game ago when the Psychic rock Chalk blog said if Nick Kimberlake 298 00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:19.440 can just average eight to ten points a game the rest of the way, 299 00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:22.720 I don't know if Kansas will lose it. And he goes out there and 300 00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:27.079 has thirteen and they lose by a mere twenty nine Yeah, oops Timberlake. 301 00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:30.720 Bill sal said after the game that he didn't see any positives. Even the 302 00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:34.480 worst games have leading scorers, so therefore, really it doesn't matter. I 303 00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:38.599 do see a little bit better play with Nick Timberlake, who for the first 304 00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:42.640 time all year has made back to back, has made at least two threes 305 00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:47.400 and back to back games. Maybe that's getting a little bit better. I 306 00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:49.400 posted on Twitter that I would rather go into the tournament, have Kansas go 307 00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:53.200 into the tournament ten and eight with a Nick Timberlake that's humming along, then 308 00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:56.720 went out at thirteen and five and not have anything from him. I think 309 00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.160 he's a pivotal piece and it's good to see him playing by Furfey's still in 310 00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:04.200 the struggle. Bus hasn't made I think he's won for his last like fifteen 311 00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:07.319 from three, but he did make one in this game, and yeah, 312 00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:11.119 thirteen points is whatever. He's being mocked as a late first round draft pick, 313 00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:15.720 and that's kind of that's kind of slown down that traction in the last 314 00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:18.960 few games. I think Timberlake might be starting to play better. It just 315 00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:22.920 might be too little, too late at this point. The three point shooting 316 00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:26.920 home road splits continue to be a crazy thing here. I can complain all 317 00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:30.759 I want about how Kansas has not guarded the three well on the road, 318 00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:33.920 but they've guarded it great at home at Allen field House. Conference opponents are 319 00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.480 making just twenty nine percent of their threes against Kansas, but on the road 320 00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:42.400 that number balloons to forty percent after twenty six. Yeah, they made eight 321 00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:45.279 of their first twelve, I think in this game, and that is at 322 00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:48.799 Steve Doyle on Twitter, thank you for the homework on that. Yeah, 323 00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:52.799 is that what's that? Is that just a small sample sized bad luck or 324 00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.160 are they legitimately worse defending on the road. I mean, that's definitely not 325 00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:00.960 a small sample size. That's that's just there's there's there can't be a discrepancy 326 00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:04.119 defending on the road. I mean, they just can't like it. Statistically, 327 00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:07.759 there's no way that they're that different playing in a road environment. Defensively, 328 00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:11.759 Yeah, I still think three. It has more. It has more 329 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:15.720 to do with the home team they're facing. Have a little bit more juice 330 00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:19.079 and energy and start seeing the bottom of the net a little bit more. 331 00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:23.480 Well. In Kansas has been very poor shooting threes in Big Twelve play. 332 00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:27.200 I think they're at thirty two percent as a team. In conference play, 333 00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:32.319 they've been very poor. And whenever you are going to go play on the 334 00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:36.319 road, like k State didn't shoot the ball very well. They only made 335 00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:38.519 thirty three percent of their threes. They were like eight for twenty three. 336 00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:42.880 But they still were a plus fifteen against Kansas is three of fifteen, so 337 00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:45.799 they had they were fifteen more points than Kansas on threes in a game that 338 00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:49.640 you lose in overtime, and then in this game, obviously you get blown 339 00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:52.599 out. The stats are going to be hideous across the board. But Texas 340 00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:56.920 Tech makes twelve threes, you only make three or ten threes, you only 341 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.680 make three. That's in minus twenty one on threes in this game. Free 342 00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.640 throws are pretty even. You make an average number of three. You make 343 00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:06.000 about the same number threes as they would have made. And this game is 344 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:08.680 a heck of a lot different. And then you just have to be better 345 00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:12.119 at shooting the ball they are giving up. The first few road games were 346 00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:17.319 pretty close despite Kansas. How about the Iowa State game. Kansas was minus 347 00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:21.599 like eighteen on threes in that game and you barely lose. Like, yeah, 348 00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:23.720 you gotta shoot the three ball. You don't have to shoot it great, 349 00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:29.519 but you can't be horrible. When they're good enough to make five or 350 00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:32.920 six more of them than you. You're never gonna win on the road when 351 00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:36.440 your opponent's making three times as many threes as you are. That's never gonna 352 00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:40.279 happen. Yeah, so they're one and five on the road. I mean, 353 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:44.720 anyways, are we done with the embarrassing or the ridiculous stats yet? 354 00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:51.000 Because Darien Williams, as you alluded to, earlier, he to Lubbock, 355 00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:55.839 and he hasn't made more than six baskets in a game all year, and 356 00:23:55.880 --> 00:24:00.359 he walks in there and goes twelve for twelve on the floor for thirty points. 357 00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.680 Because of course if you had that on your bingo card, first player 358 00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:06.920 to do that in a D one game in you actually know the year. 359 00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:11.839 Yeah, I've seen so there's some there's a lot of like mixing and matching 360 00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:17.119 with that stat. I saw one website say it was the first in twenty 361 00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:21.079 years. I saw one that was the first in fifteen years. I think 362 00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:26.559 there's some variables in there, like so first when we were in we diapers, 363 00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:30.599 right, Yeah, it's been a long time. Yeah, there's there's 364 00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:33.640 some mixed stats about like, uh, first guy to make at least ten 365 00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:38.039 for ten while also making at least two threes. Like bottom line is this 366 00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:42.519 type of game has not happened in D one, especially against the defense like 367 00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:47.559 Kansas in an incredibly long time. That was shocking, and everything was going 368 00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:51.039 in. You had shots off the backboard, you had shots that were just 369 00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:53.079 kind of hanging around and rolling around. And then Hunter Dickinson had a sequence 370 00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:59.599 where he missed three layups in four seconds. Sure, Yeah, talk more 371 00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:04.880 about guys who you know been scored a little bit more lately, but still 372 00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:08.359 wasn't the worst, but was still bad. Hair d one Harris had seven 373 00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:11.559 points, three assists, three turnovers in thirty six minutes. What do you 374 00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:17.400 make of his game on Monday night? I don't make anything of Harris's game. 375 00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:21.920 He was playing hurt and he's still I mean, seven three and three 376 00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:26.720 is bad in any sense of the word. But he was probably if you 377 00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:30.240 had to give Player of the Game to somebody, if it's not Nick Timberlake, 378 00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:33.680 I mean, Harris was was whatever. He's clearly banged up. They've 379 00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.640 got to get him rest. Hopefully the five days off here before Oklahoma will 380 00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:41.279 do him wonders because his backup ain't doing any favors. Al Marco Jackson seven 381 00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:45.279 points, like Harris three for five shooting in a game like this, I 382 00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:48.759 don't know how much it matters. I saw some people try to find a 383 00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:52.200 silver lining on Twitter and say, hey, he was pretty aggressive there. 384 00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:55.839 Yeah, they're down by twenty five and he's playing against the B team in 385 00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:57.880 the end, like, he played twenty four minutes and did nothing else. 386 00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:02.680 He had four fouls, Parker didn't score, the walk Ons did nothing. 387 00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:06.759 People wanted Jank. Bill tried it for about a minute and then it was 388 00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:08.720 like, Okay, that's enough of that. Uh And we didn't see Jank 389 00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:12.119 for a while after that. Uh, I don't make anything at Harris's game. 390 00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:18.480 He needs McCuller and also Harris, Like, what did we say that 391 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.359 that kJ and Hunter were together like three for twenty three or something. Yeah, 392 00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:26.480 Chris Paul's not gonna get very many assists if his best two guys are 393 00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:30.599 gonna go three for twenty three. So yeah, hard time blaming Harris. 394 00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:34.519 What did you think of Self's injection? That was fun The funny thing was 395 00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:38.119 because he just talked about it on the last sil Yeah, we said Scott 396 00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:42.160 Drew and we're like hmmm. It was like it was almost like the Mandela 397 00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:47.279 effect because like, certainly Bill Self's been ejected from a game at Kansas before, 398 00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:49.960 right, yeah, right, and then he goes out there and gets 399 00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:55.359 a t youngs probably the softest nope double technical I've ever heard in my life 400 00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:59.880 rejection before. Then there is that week, right, yeah, then there 401 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:03.400 there is that. Like so Self said after the game, he wasn't trying 402 00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:06.359 to get run he said, he you know, he said a magic word. 403 00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:08.480 I guess, but I'm sure he kind of deserved the first one. 404 00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:11.680 It looked to me like he got the second one from standing there and smirking 405 00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:15.319 at the ref like I I was. If you had told me that Bill 406 00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:19.000 Self was gonna get ejected, I would have made time to make sure I 407 00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:22.279 was in front of my TV to watch it. I would have been pretty 408 00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:26.839 underwhelmed. And that was Bill Sell's first ejection since he was at Tulsa in 409 00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:29.880 nineteen ninety nine in the game was at Wyoming. That was the only other 410 00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:32.920 time in his career Bill Self has been ejected, and I would only assume 411 00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:36.799 that one was more interesting than this one. Third time in ten days, 412 00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:40.400 by the way, that the Big twelve refs ejected a coach, Scott Drew, 413 00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:42.920 Kelvin Sampson, Bill Self, all very high profile coaches. All of 414 00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:48.319 them got ran self. I don't selfs was kind of weak, but also 415 00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:51.880 I don't think he hated it. Scott Drews was was a joke. Samson, 416 00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:53.880 Okay, that that's a legit. When he stormed across, he ran 417 00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:56.240 out on the court and started yelling in the ref's face, that's gonna get 418 00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.720 your run. But yeah, it was pretty pretty funny how we had just 419 00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:03.119 talked about how that had never happened. Sale's gotten a lot of technicals this 420 00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:07.680 year. I swear that's like four. Yeah, yeah, I mean I 421 00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:11.720 guess when the season. You know, we've talked about this before. He 422 00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:15.759 eases a It is a motivational tax u tactic sometimes with his teams to get 423 00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:19.200 a little bit fire under them. But you know, is it is a 424 00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:23.079 higher output this year. Yeah, I don't think that this this time was 425 00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:27.319 a motivational tactic. I think he was legit just kind of done, which 426 00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:30.920 if you were within the if you were in the final five years of being 427 00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:33.960 able to retire from a Hall of Fame career, I'm surprised he doesn't do 428 00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:37.880 that more, especially with a team that's frustrating like this. But yeah, 429 00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:41.960 the big twelve rests were like, get that son of a bitch off the 430 00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:47.440 field right now, and and so off went Bill self in Lubbock for the 431 00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:49.400 for the first time in his careers. It was pretty underwhelming, though I 432 00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:52.160 would have I would have hoped there had been more fire and brimstone. I 433 00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:56.319 was wanting a Bob Knight moment. Had you told me that Bill self was 434 00:28:56.359 --> 00:29:02.319 gonna get ejected? Yeah? Right, So we really have blown through this 435 00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:04.160 recap because there just isn't a whole lot here. Here's my attempt to kind 436 00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:08.240 of summarize it. I want to say flush it because every team has a 437 00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:14.319 game like this, Every team has struggles like this, but you can't. 438 00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:18.039 They're one and five on the road. They're just not good, good enough 439 00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:22.039 to be able to not put up a efforts and win away from Allen Field 440 00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:26.279 House, which is not something where normally we were used to seeing a team 441 00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.640 that the seventh or eighth guy on the bench is a four star for Kansas. 442 00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:33.400 Well, now the eighth guy off the bench is I don't know if 443 00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:36.720 it's eight or nine, but the eighth or ninth guy in this game was 444 00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:40.960 a walk on. Like they're just not deep enough. You don't need ten 445 00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:44.640 bona fide studs to make a tournament run. You do need a bit a 446 00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:48.279 team that's deeper than seven guys to be able to consistently win these level of 447 00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:53.920 conference games. So I think that there is I still have there's still a 448 00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:59.960 two seed or a high three in most metrics because their resume is so good, 449 00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:03.000 and because that that resume is so safe that I don't think they can 450 00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:07.119 fall behind like a four seed unless the floor just opens up on them. 451 00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:11.920 I would still bet on them going four and two or better in these last 452 00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:15.680 six games, assuming mccullor comes back, and there's no reason this team can't 453 00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:18.960 get on a nice curve and go on a run. I mean, Yukon 454 00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:22.559 was really struggling at this time last year, and look how that turned up. 455 00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:27.640 But there's obviously I was thinking earlier today. You know, the Chiefs 456 00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:32.079 had what would could be considered a down year, and yeah, some head 457 00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:37.720 scratchers, and the Chiefs lost four of six, including that stinker to the 458 00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:41.119 Raid of Oakland game. Just like Bill, just like Andy Reid, Bill 459 00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:45.000 self Hall of Fame coach, you never can count them out in the in 460 00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:49.559 the play in the postseason, and the twenty twenty two team that wasn't the 461 00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:52.240 best team in the country that year and then they pulled it out. So 462 00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:56.559 who knows, like you said, Bill's do for some positive aggression in the 463 00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:59.039 tournament. You know this team is gonna be playing on a neutral site. 464 00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:02.480 It's not the true road games. They've got the pieces. If they can 465 00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:04.640 get them to stay healthy and you can get guys like Nick Timberlake to have 466 00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:08.640 a Malik Newman type march I wouldn't doubt this team could make the Elite eight, 467 00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:12.119 at least well in that Ukon team we just talked about, lost six 468 00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:18.920 of eight in January. Their January record was two and seven last year. 469 00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:22.319 Oh I guess January thirty first counts three and seven. They were three and 470 00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:26.400 seven and ten January games last year, and then they obviously turned it on, 471 00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:29.400 Like that's how the NCAA tournament works. Perdue was the best team throughout 472 00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:33.359 the regular season all the way through and they lost in the first round. 473 00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:34.839 Like there's there's nothing that says they can't do it. They got two of 474 00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:38.880 the best five six players in the country. That's the glass half full perspective. 475 00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:42.559 The glass half empty perspective is they have seven healthy players right now if 476 00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:47.000 you count Dewan Harris, who's topping a long out there. They need Kevin 477 00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:51.000 mccullor back, and there's doubt. If you're having injury problems like this, 478 00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:53.279 there's doubt that you're going to get to a point the rest of the year. 479 00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:59.200 The NCAA tournament selection Sundays in four weeks, so they better get it 480 00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:01.759 moving. And are they in too big of a hole? Are they already 481 00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:06.240 too injured? We don't know. Pretty disappointing to think that this team, 482 00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:09.759 considering what they were at what were they fifteen or fourteen and one or thirteen 483 00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:13.599 to one or something like that, now to be nineteen and six. But 484 00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:16.759 we've seen the team's theme roll through the regular season and have early NCAA tournament 485 00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:22.039 exits. Who's to say that this year won't be the opposite a tougher January 486 00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:24.880 and February and then they start humming along when it matters most. The twenty 487 00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:29.759 eighteen team is good. Is a good one that I think of that really 488 00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:32.000 didn't start going until right around this time. You could say the same about 489 00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:36.400 last year's team. Last year's team was five and three in conference play. 490 00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:38.640 I think they were six and four at the beginning of February, and then 491 00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:44.240 they started to get going. Don't doubt them, but there's definitely some stuff 492 00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:46.799 there that would at least make you a little nervous. Thirty three percent from 493 00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:51.720 the floor, nineteen percent from three to seventy seven percent of the line, 494 00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:54.000 and minus eighteen on the glass, A lot of bad, bad bad. 495 00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:58.880 There any closing thoughts on this game? Or are you ready to flush it 496 00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:01.000 and move on? Ready to move on? All right, let's do it. 497 00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:08.960 No, I had an air horn on mute Big twelve games. Well, 498 00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:12.960 we had four more teams with bye week, so there are only four 499 00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:16.680 other games to recap. And I believe that the cream of the Big twelve 500 00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:21.960 continues to rise to the top. But sadly, I don't know if the 501 00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:23.599 Jayhawks are in that camp. But I know a couple of teams are not 502 00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:27.920 these two because I did these out of order. But oh well, TCU 503 00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:31.240 eighty one, West Virginia sixty five, Nick. Everybody can beat West Virginia 504 00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:37.000 except for the team we root for. Well, wes Ninia and scored ninety 505 00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.759 five against any of these other teams, but it wasn't interesting. Emmanuel Miller, 506 00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:44.359 Travion Tennyson, and jami Or Nilson all had fourteen for the Horned Frogs 507 00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:47.240 and Mountain years. I have scored more than seventy six points just one time, 508 00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:51.720 one time in conference play. Can you think of which game that that 509 00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:54.400 was? Was it against Case State? Yeah? I think I know, 510 00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:58.960 I think I know the answer, Coach Bill Sealth, You stubborn ass. 511 00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:01.960 So you start doing the math on this. They've only eclipped seventy six once 512 00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:07.680 and Kansas scored eighty nine in that game. Wow, Kansas should be or 513 00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:09.440 like eighty five or whatever it was. Wow, then that should be a 514 00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:14.559 double digit win in any other game. But it wasn't because they scored their 515 00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:19.719 season high in conference playing points by fifteen against Kansas. Now that one, 516 00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:22.480 I won't criticize that much. That's a game they win nine out of ten 517 00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:28.360 times. That was just the case of stuff happens. But it's unfortunate because 518 00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:32.639 a lot of stuff happens games have happened this year. TCU eh eh, 519 00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:37.840 right, like ye, yeah, six and five whatever, whatever, We're 520 00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:40.559 gonna pick them to go around too far in our brackets. That's what we 521 00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:45.280 do. Number ten, Iowa State sixty eight, Cincinnati fifty nine. Tell 522 00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:47.760 you what, Nick, You read all the big twelve games and then I'll 523 00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:52.280 chime in with some analysis afterwards. How about that. The Cyclones are now 524 00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:55.159 eight and three. They have moved into a first place tie with Houston. 525 00:34:55.400 --> 00:35:00.679 Houston. They forced in insane twenty five turnovers and holed Cincinnati just thirty eight 526 00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:02.679 percent from the floor. That's what you get for having that nasty chili. 527 00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:07.000 Fifteen points from Tam Livesey and Curtis Jones. Yeah, I'm tired of Bengals 528 00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:09.679 fans, so that's fine. Cincinnati can lose a lot of it. But 529 00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:14.239 Joe Burrow is a better quarterback. If Joe Burrow had the Kansas City team, 530 00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:16.079 then he would be winning Super Bowls as well. If he had Andy 531 00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:20.800 rid as a coach, if the Chiefs didn't have to worry about healthy Joe 532 00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:22.159 Burrow, then this year would have been different. Yeah, I've seen that 533 00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:25.400 many times. I don't even know if Joe Burrow could help Cincinnati. At 534 00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:29.960 this point, they're very, very bad. Four and seven. Iowa State, 535 00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:32.239 they're tied with Houston. They're gonna play on Monday Night. It's now 536 00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:37.039 the Big Monday Game. ESPN flexed a big Monday game. They took Texas 537 00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:42.599 out of primetime that night. It cost the Texas boosters. I just don't 538 00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:45.480 say horns down. You can do literally anything to Texas, but say horns 539 00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:47.519 down. Iowa State is eight and three, They're a game and a half 540 00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:52.280 ahead of Kansas. We've been saying the whole time that they're not really a 541 00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:53.760 threat to win the league. I think you got to consider them. One 542 00:35:53.800 --> 00:35:58.320 now, they are winning on the road. They won last week, they 543 00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:01.000 went into Texas in one. This week they go into Cincinnati and one. 544 00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:04.719 They're beating the middle of the Big twelve teams on the road, which is 545 00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:07.320 not something Kansas can say. I think you gotta say that this is a 546 00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:09.440 threat to win the league right now. Right Yeah, for certainly they're in 547 00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:13.920 first. I don't think they're gonna win in Houston, and I think they're 548 00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:15.559 gonna lose. If I'm guessing, I bet, I bet Iowa State ends 549 00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:20.280 the year four and three. I think that they're due to take some els. 550 00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:23.760 But still TJ. Alziberger, I think, I think without question TJ. 551 00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:27.280 Alziberger right now is the coach of the year in the Big twelve. 552 00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:31.800 YEP, they're having a great year. Number twelve, Baylor seventy nine, 553 00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:37.000 Number twenty five, Oklahoma sixty two. We predicted Oklahoma would get squashed and 554 00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:40.400 we were all correct. YEP. Twenty seven points from je None, the 555 00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:44.639 guy that shanked the wide open three in the corner of alandfield House, Baylor 556 00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:49.039 made eleven threes on the night, with none making six pu do you smell 557 00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:53.199 that it's Oklahoma and Porter Mooser there bums as as ass. I hate Oklahoma. 558 00:36:53.760 --> 00:36:58.519 If there is any team that Kansas would lose to on Saturday, Yeah, 559 00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:01.519 I want to talk about Oklahola being complete and total because they're six and 560 00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:05.320 six, and then I see who's exactly one game better than them, And 561 00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:08.519 therefore, if Oklahoma wins on Saturday, who will have the same record as 562 00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:13.280 the Sooners? And it is damn it Bill, which is terrifying. I 563 00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:17.400 have never seen Oklahoma do anything interesting unless Buddy Healed or Trey Young was involved. 564 00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:21.360 Like, they've had two seasons that I cared about and a billion that 565 00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:27.920 I have not number nineteen BYU ninety UCF eighty eight. Now that may sound 566 00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:30.880 like a barnberer, and it was. These two teams put on a hell 567 00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:34.239 of a show. Nick. This was one of the weirdest SAT lines you 568 00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:40.400 are ever going to see in a game. Yeah, YOUCF made thirty four 569 00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:45.159 shots, the BIUS twenty one and turn it over nine times the BIU seventeen, 570 00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:47.480 so they won by twenty right? Yeah? No again, they made 571 00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:52.599 thirteen more shots and at eight fewer turnovers and loss because BYU went forty for 572 00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:57.719 forty six from the free throw line. Good God, somebody tranquilize the freaking 573 00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:04.239 rafts. Forty six free throws. That percentage, though, is wild. 574 00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:07.079 Yeah, they made free throw Like imagine being told going into the night that 575 00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:10.320 if you don't make at least thirty eight free throws, you're going to lose. 576 00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:14.320 And they did. They made forty. I saw a couple people on 577 00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:16.519 Twitter saying, oh, well, UCFL behind big. They did. BYU 578 00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:21.920 almost blew a nineteen point lead. They barely survived at the end the second 579 00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:27.000 half of this game. The score was sixty two to fifty one at one 580 00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:30.360 hundred and thirteen combined points. Just a barn burner there sixty two points for 581 00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:35.320 UCF in the second half. Member Kansas scored fifty in the whole game this 582 00:38:35.400 --> 00:38:37.800 week. Different circumstances, but still, but yeah, I mean, some 583 00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:40.920 people on Twitter were like, oh, well this was you know, UCF 584 00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:45.000 had to faulty get back into it. Forty six free throws. Nobody wants 585 00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:51.360 that. Nobody can ever justify that. That's abysmal, Like geez, UCF 586 00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:53.639 should feel like they got totally hosed. Here, and honestly, the Knights 587 00:38:53.639 --> 00:38:59.119 have been so much better than we thought they would be in Big Twelve play. 588 00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:05.679 Like the Kansas win, that's the way it happened, blew the sixteen 589 00:39:05.679 --> 00:39:10.559 point lead. But UCF is arguably the best of the teams that Kansas has 590 00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:16.719 lost to. If you take out Texas Tech, I think UCF is four 591 00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:21.599 and seven, but there's a five point loss, a two point loss, 592 00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:24.320 a seven point loss, and an eight point loss. And there they are 593 00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:29.480 competitive basketball team in their first year in this conference, which I think is 594 00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:35.360 pretty cool. Good for them. Big Twelve standings at the top, Houston 595 00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:39.480 and Iowa State are co leading this league at eight and three. Yeah, 596 00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:46.440 and in third place we have none other than Baylor in Texas Tech to Texas 597 00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:50.599 team to seven and four. So, right now, the way the Big 598 00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:53.840 Twelve Tournament is set to go with fourteen teams, the top four teams get 599 00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:58.320 a double by to Thursday. There are four games on Wednesday. The five 600 00:39:58.440 --> 00:40:04.159 team plays the twelve team on Wednesday. So right now, Bill selfs Jayhawks 601 00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:08.159 sitting in fifth place seven and five would not have a bye to the quarterfinals, 602 00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:10.719 and the Big Twelve Tournament got some work to do. To get that 603 00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:16.599 your turn. I guess you already read it. At five. Number six 604 00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:22.000 by U and TCU are six and five, eighth place, eternally mediocre. 605 00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:27.199 Oklahoma sitting at six and six and on the bubble in ninth Longhorn Network. 606 00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:30.079 In case theater five and six, that's the game that got bumped out of 607 00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:37.519 the ESPN Big Monday spot Number eleven Cincinnati and UCF they are tied at four 608 00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:43.039 and seven. Number thirteen West Virginia is three and eight applicable yawn there because 609 00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:45.880 they are booty and number fourteen even worse. They didn't lose this week, 610 00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:52.639 but you know they're still they're still as Oklahoma State two and nine. A 611 00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:57.000 snoozefest of other games happened this week. There's really not a whole lot of 612 00:40:57.039 --> 00:41:01.559 interesting stuff here. The ACC race got tighter. Sarahcuse upset number seven North 613 00:41:01.559 --> 00:41:06.400 Carolina at the Carrier Dome, potentially the only team that is more over ranked 614 00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:09.159 right now than Kansas. As UNC the tar Heels have lost three times in 615 00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:13.920 the last five outings. North Carolina still leads the conference, but their lead 616 00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:17.440 as willed away to one win. Number nine Duke did sweep their horrible Notre 617 00:41:17.519 --> 00:41:22.719 Dame Boston College wake for US at Cameron all in a row set and number 618 00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:24.679 twenty one Virginia had been on a roll, but they got upset by pitt 619 00:41:24.679 --> 00:41:30.079 at home to end an eight game winning streak. So the top three teams 620 00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:31.960 in that league U n C eleven and three, Duke ten and three, 621 00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:36.760 Virginia ten and four. They are all separated by half a game, and 622 00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:40.079 I don't think any of them are that good. No. A team that 623 00:41:40.199 --> 00:41:43.679 is good though, is number one Yukon, who separated itself from the Big 624 00:41:43.719 --> 00:41:45.880 East pack. They unsurprisingly crushed to Paul. I wish, kay, you 625 00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:49.920 got to play to Paul. Yeah, I do too. Twice or they're 626 00:41:49.960 --> 00:41:52.320 thirteenth win in a row all Cuner before Marquette got a nice road win at 627 00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:57.719 Butler behind twenty seven points from Tyler Kullak, and number seventeen Creighton rolled Georgetown 628 00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:00.039 at home. Surprise surprise. The Golden Eagles and Blue Jays are fighting for 629 00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:04.199 second place, as Yukon has a three game hold on the league race. 630 00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:07.559 Yeah, it's a pretty interesting league race up there. I think that Marquette 631 00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:13.400 and Yukon play each other this week, but it's it's even if even if 632 00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:20.239 Yukon somehow loses that game at home, you're still looking at a runaway Big 633 00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:22.599 East title for the Huskies. Who at this point, I know people are 634 00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:28.199 enthused about Zach Edy, the and the I just clicked on the Perdue game 635 00:42:28.199 --> 00:42:30.840 and I see Zach Edy made free throw. Shocking to see him at the 636 00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:35.599 line. But I still think Yukon is the best team in the Big Ten. 637 00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:38.639 Number two Perdue did beat Minnesota, Joe Biden's favorite. They were down 638 00:42:38.679 --> 00:42:45.360 by eight and a half time and wound up pulling away late. Perdue is 639 00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:49.960 twelve and two in league play, behind them a total log jam. Number 640 00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:52.840 fourteen Illinois destroyed Michigan as a butt hurt. Juwan Howard said that the only 641 00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:58.039 reason Terrence Shannon Junior is there is because he did not is because something about 642 00:42:58.039 --> 00:43:02.159 getting his offer revoked from Michigan. And Number twenty Wisconsin ended their long losing 643 00:43:02.199 --> 00:43:07.000 streak by beating Ohio State. Apparently, losing to Wisconsin means you have to 644 00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:09.440 fire your coach, because that is what the Buckeyes did. Chris Holtman got 645 00:43:09.440 --> 00:43:16.079 fired mid season after Ohio State's horrendous Big Ten outing in the SEC where it 646 00:43:16.199 --> 00:43:20.880 just means more. Number fifteen Alabama, thirteen Auburn, and three eleven South 647 00:43:20.920 --> 00:43:25.360 Carolina all have nine wins, but Auburn rolled South Carolina by forty this week 648 00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:30.280 proven that they're not all conference rights are as close as they seem. The 649 00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:32.719 Bright Tennessee blew out Arkansas to stay in the conversation, while number twenty two 650 00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:37.599 Kentucky ended their three game home losing skid by clipping Ole Miss at home. 651 00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:42.679 Meanwhile, in the it means less. Conference time is running out for Gonzaga 652 00:43:42.719 --> 00:43:46.360 to extend their conference streak. The number eighteen Saint Mary's Gaels beat Pepperdine, 653 00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:50.159 they get to twelve and oho and West Coast Conference play. You think bill 654 00:43:50.159 --> 00:43:52.519 would be twelve zero and West Coast Conference player where they be one on the 655 00:43:52.519 --> 00:43:58.239 five in the road against the License Pacific and Diego College Bila Mary Mount, 656 00:43:58.400 --> 00:44:00.679 they would be twelve to zero in the in that in that conference, maybe 657 00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:05.679 a lot of games left. Four games left. The Zags are two games 658 00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:08.239 behind the Gals with a game at Saint Mary's looming on the last day of 659 00:44:08.239 --> 00:44:13.280 the regular season. Yeah, it's probably over for Gonzaga at this point. 660 00:44:13.639 --> 00:44:15.719 Uh, They're going to have to get some voodoo magic. I mean just 661 00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:20.280 looking at Saint Mary's. So Saint Mary're gonna make the tournament. Yes, 662 00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:22.639 I do think they're gonna squeak in the tournament. I think that that went 663 00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:24.760 over. Kentucky will do a lot so Saint Mary's. By the way, 664 00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:30.840 they would need to drop at least two games in order for Gonzaga to have 665 00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:35.800 a chance to tie for the league title, and those remaining games Gonzaga at 666 00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:40.000 home. So let's say Gonzaga wins that one and wins out, then Gonzaga 667 00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:45.679 would still need Saint Mary's to lose either at Pepperdine, San Diego at home 668 00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:49.599 or San Francisco at home. I don't see it happening. I think that 669 00:44:49.679 --> 00:44:54.079 this is completely over. Saint Mary's will win the WCC and Gonzaga is very 670 00:44:54.199 --> 00:44:59.079 very flu Again, I guess no, Gonzaga lost that home to Saint Mary's, 671 00:44:59.199 --> 00:45:00.679 but if they wind up Blues in the league by a game, then 672 00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:06.840 they're gonna look at that one point weird ass Santa Clara loss that ended up 673 00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:09.960 costing them may a chance to win their what would have been their twelfth straight 674 00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:15.280 WCC, one short of K's record of thirteen because the fourteenth never happened. 675 00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:19.599 Number twenty three Indiana State. No, I don't believe we've ever talked on 676 00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:22.480 this show. They lost at home as an eighteen point favorite to Illinois. 677 00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:24.679 Where are they ranked? Yeah? Good question. I think that this game 678 00:45:24.760 --> 00:45:30.280 goes to show that your question is valid. NBC hoops be bad Wichita State's 679 00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:35.960 not there anymore. That league is eh, really really bad. Speaking of 680 00:45:35.960 --> 00:45:39.239 a team that should be ranked. This week, Detroit Mercy won BABA of 681 00:45:39.239 --> 00:45:45.440 course. Of course it's iup UI in Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis in a 682 00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:50.000 battle between two of the worst four teams in the country per kimcom. They 683 00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:52.400 got a fifteen point win. They're now one in twenty six. This leaves 684 00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:57.199 Mississippi Valley State now oh to twenty four, as the only winless team in 685 00:45:57.239 --> 00:46:00.960 college basketball. So did you see the If you have not already seen it, 686 00:46:01.280 --> 00:46:07.960 YouTube Detroit Mercy court storm. There was one single fan that ran onto 687 00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:12.679 the court and started jumping up and down after their eternal losing streak came to 688 00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:15.320 a close. If you are a Detroit Mercy fan that showed up to support 689 00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:20.440 that team who was zero to twenty six, I gave you full permission to 690 00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:23.440 storm the floor, and I hope that you're recognized as I hope they renamed 691 00:46:23.440 --> 00:46:29.199 the area playing a high school basketball gym. Yeah, it looks like it 692 00:46:29.239 --> 00:46:32.039 too. It definitely looks like it. Right teams to lose since the last 693 00:46:32.079 --> 00:46:35.239 time we did a podcast, there aren't many of them, but the ones 694 00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:37.519 that did got blown out. It feels like like this guy. Number six 695 00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:46.880 Kansas lost to Texas Tech Bill and number seven North Carolina that also want a 696 00:46:46.920 --> 00:46:52.840 losing skid. They lost to Syracuse. The other Carolina team, number eleven 697 00:46:52.960 --> 00:47:00.519 South Carolina got absolutely railed at Auburn by forty sounds like Kansas. Twenty one 698 00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:06.639 Virginia they lost the pit. Number twenty three Indiana State lost to Illinois State. 699 00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:14.719 Number twenty five Oklahoma lost the Baylor So Zach Edy has taken thirty free 700 00:47:14.760 --> 00:47:19.119 throws in his last two games. Do you know how many free throws Hunter 701 00:47:19.280 --> 00:47:29.440 Dickinson has shot in conference play for Kansas eight in conference thirty four. So 702 00:47:29.840 --> 00:47:35.280 Dickenson has taken four more free throws in twelve conference games than Zach Edy has 703 00:47:35.320 --> 00:47:38.119 in two. I'm not saying that he's as physical as Zach Edy because he's 704 00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:44.880 not. But really, we're really gonna act like that he's that less physical 705 00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:49.760 whatever, just completely to be expected at this point by the big twelve refs. 706 00:47:52.159 --> 00:47:54.920 Ask RCB, we're actually making excellent time today. I can't believe it, 707 00:47:55.039 --> 00:47:59.400 and we don't have very many ask arcbs. So theoretically begin to pick 708 00:47:59.440 --> 00:48:02.000 him though, like the pick them. This is an all time season at 709 00:48:02.079 --> 00:48:07.400 least for us, Like the records are pretty good. Yeah, Landon isn't 710 00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:10.880 last, which should surprise nobody. Landon has a six game hole to make 711 00:48:10.960 --> 00:48:15.920 up if he wants to cross your one hundred and forty seven wins. I'm 712 00:48:15.960 --> 00:48:21.480 at one and Landon is at one forty one, so we are all pretty 713 00:48:21.480 --> 00:48:24.760 close. Landon's leading conference. Pick him. He's just horrendous picking other games, 714 00:48:25.400 --> 00:48:31.000 ask RCB at Kamlipple Golf. Do you ever spite watch in a game 715 00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:35.119 like that one just to see how bad it can get? Or just me? 716 00:48:35.480 --> 00:48:37.719 I mean yeah, when they're down by like thirty, I'm kind of 717 00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:39.239 like, oh, let's see how bad this can get. I don't want 718 00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:43.239 it to happen, but let's see if Bill Goods ejected, oh there he 719 00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:45.079 goes, Well, I guess I have every I've seen everything that I could 720 00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:55.199 possibly need. You ever spite watch games. Yeah at Dick Underscore Taser with 721 00:48:55.320 --> 00:49:00.599 a our buddy, Wayne Returns, I know how much you guys like talking 722 00:49:00.679 --> 00:49:04.760 about the hashtag refs, So check this. I heard on the radio that 723 00:49:04.960 --> 00:49:10.199 every major conference except the Big Twelve has a special advisor to basketball officiating, 724 00:49:10.239 --> 00:49:15.320 basically a third party reffing auditor. Googled it. It's true. Sad yep, 725 00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:19.760 I'm not surprised. Wayne also adds a disclaimer that that was in no 726 00:49:19.840 --> 00:49:22.760 way two excuse for that steaming donkey pile of basketball that we had to witness 727 00:49:22.760 --> 00:49:27.760 one that donkey pile. That is very true. Yeah, the Big Twelve 728 00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:30.679 doesn't care about the officiating. Like it's quite clear. They keep throwing coaches 729 00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:32.960 out and finding athletic directors when the ads are like, wow, is that 730 00:49:32.960 --> 00:49:37.639 what we should be doing here? Like it's it's pretty bad, and it's 731 00:49:37.639 --> 00:49:40.800 always been pretty bad, and it's bad against all teams. Kansas gets great 732 00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:45.239 calls at Allen Field House. If anybody's watch games in Lubbock or Morgantown, 733 00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:47.719 I'm not sure you'd be telling me Allen Field House is the most lopsided of 734 00:49:47.760 --> 00:49:55.280 the Big twelve venues though it's bad everywhere. Yeah, Nick Kate's ask GARCB, 735 00:49:55.440 --> 00:49:58.880 so you're not gonna get him to say much if it's without land And 736 00:49:58.920 --> 00:50:01.920 I'm basically going by myself at DJ Radar. What are the odds Ku doesn't 737 00:50:01.960 --> 00:50:06.000 make the Sweet sixteen? I will give you. I will say it's more 738 00:50:06.119 --> 00:50:12.079 likely than not they make the Sweet sixteen? Uh fifty fifty is furfey a 739 00:50:12.159 --> 00:50:17.800 one and done? Yes? You no? Ken Bill self still recruit Yeah, 740 00:50:19.039 --> 00:50:21.320 look at his class next year. Isn't he a number? Bill? 741 00:50:22.159 --> 00:50:24.119 I mean, look, Bill self kind of swung and miss with Nick Timberlake. 742 00:50:24.159 --> 00:50:28.280 I don't know if you can say that's Bill selfswalt Bill self went out 743 00:50:28.280 --> 00:50:31.440 there and got a guy that shot forty percent from three on almost seven threes 744 00:50:31.480 --> 00:50:36.639 a game for two seasons in a row. I'm not sure that. And 745 00:50:36.719 --> 00:50:40.440 also wasn't Nick Timberlake like supposed to be a Yukon guy and Kansas was kind 746 00:50:40.440 --> 00:50:45.360 of a last second at like, like, if you're gonna criticize Bill self 747 00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:49.440 for the misses this year, which is Almargo Jackson being a McDonald's All American 748 00:50:49.519 --> 00:50:52.400 and Nick Timberlake with his background not hitting I mean, these just aren't mistakes 749 00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:58.280 that every coach doesn't make every now and then. Right, Yeah, he's 750 00:50:58.320 --> 00:51:00.400 gonna be just fine. He'll be just fine. At Travius ninety nine, 751 00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:04.360 I got into a debate with another KU fan about how many scholarships k you 752 00:51:04.360 --> 00:51:07.280 forfeited this year? Most people were like Bill self did a horrible recruiting job, 753 00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:12.280 But I feel like they intentionally forfeited two scholarships, and when Morris had 754 00:51:12.320 --> 00:51:17.239 his situation, they essentially forfeited his two down three scholarships will make any team 755 00:51:17.280 --> 00:51:21.719 have depth issues? Why does no one recognize this? No, you're correct, 756 00:51:21.960 --> 00:51:24.480 that is part of it, obviously, the Arteria Morris stuff. I 757 00:51:24.480 --> 00:51:28.639 think they were still gonna do fine until that, but that is something to 758 00:51:28.679 --> 00:51:31.400 consider. Like they haven't had the that they've been without those those scholarships. 759 00:51:31.440 --> 00:51:35.559 I think that's hurting them. Right, No, Arturia Morris is one hundred 760 00:51:35.559 --> 00:51:37.199 percent reason why this team is the way it's way it is right now, 761 00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:42.079 you think that Artaria Morris would single handedly be enough to erase all the problems, 762 00:51:42.119 --> 00:51:45.800 though not all of the problems, but I do think this team had 763 00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:49.760 him, like, they would probably not be one and five on the road 764 00:51:49.760 --> 00:51:53.320 in Big Twelve play at Preston's Skursik. Which current or past KU player do 765 00:51:53.360 --> 00:51:57.119 each of you think that you may actually be able to put up a few 766 00:51:57.119 --> 00:52:00.199 points on and one on one zero the hell everywhere? No, Charlie Moore 767 00:52:00.280 --> 00:52:05.280 would be Charlie more can shoot like I know you didn't see it at Kansas, 768 00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:12.360 but Charlie Moore got buckets. Uh Wilder evers w There is not one 769 00:52:12.400 --> 00:52:15.360 person that's ever worn that jersey that I'm scoring anything against in a one on 770 00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:20.559 one game. Mayga take it to whatever number you want. I'm not putting 771 00:52:20.599 --> 00:52:22.920 up a point. They are just so much better. But if I had 772 00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:27.440 to pick one, I'll pick the worst basketball player I have seen play at 773 00:52:27.519 --> 00:52:30.079 Kansas, which was probably ty On grand Foster. At Show Me Hawk, 774 00:52:30.440 --> 00:52:34.760 the hopium in me is saying that the recent blowout lost of Texas Tech is 775 00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:36.960 like when the Chiefs lost with the Raiders on Christmas and then went on to 776 00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:38.920 win six in a row. Yeah, we talked about that earlier. It's 777 00:52:38.960 --> 00:52:43.119 gonna be a lot harder for the Jayhawks do that just because the Big Twelve 778 00:52:43.159 --> 00:52:46.800 regular season is such a gauntlet. But I do agree with the sentiment that 779 00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:50.840 Hall of fame, coach, talent, and roster. Still a month ago 780 00:52:50.840 --> 00:52:53.000 before the season is over, plenty of time to get it together. They 781 00:52:53.079 --> 00:52:58.639 just better start doing it sooner rather than later, right Yeah, Yeah, 782 00:52:58.960 --> 00:53:01.360 that needs to be figured out out. And the last question from at its 783 00:53:01.400 --> 00:53:05.760 big Drew. When mccullor is back healthy, would you be opposed to a 784 00:53:05.800 --> 00:53:10.960 starting lineup of Harris Timberlake, mccullor, Furfey, and Dickinson with kJ it's 785 00:53:10.960 --> 00:53:15.639 still playing big minutes off the bench. If Nick Timberlake's not gonna play like 786 00:53:15.639 --> 00:53:21.519 he did down the Stretchkins failure, I wouldn't be opposed to it. It's 787 00:53:21.559 --> 00:53:24.480 still hard for me to say that Nick Timberlake is going to give you consistent 788 00:53:24.639 --> 00:53:30.079 enough minutes can when compared to kJ Adams, because I don't know if that's 789 00:53:30.119 --> 00:53:34.159 true. I think whenever Kansas is making more than fifty percent of their shots, 790 00:53:34.400 --> 00:53:37.840 example the Houston game, then kJ Adams fits in pretty darn well. 791 00:53:38.440 --> 00:53:43.760 Where it really begins to show its ugliness is when they're having a tougher shooting 792 00:53:43.800 --> 00:53:46.920 day, They're shooting closer to forty than fifty percent, and each rebound becomes 793 00:53:46.960 --> 00:53:53.199 that much more valuable. That's when kJ Adams' liability showcase. Now, I 794 00:53:53.239 --> 00:53:58.440 would love to see Harris gets a pass to Timberlake, mccullor, and Furfey 795 00:53:58.480 --> 00:54:00.960 all on the floor at the same time. Some times maybe kJ needs to 796 00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:06.000 play a little bit less than certain matchups. But just saying that kJ should 797 00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:09.280 go to the bench for timber Lake. Timberlake has had what like twenty one 798 00:54:09.320 --> 00:54:14.800 points in the last two games. Good, that's better. But that's that's 799 00:54:14.920 --> 00:54:16.760 that's his best two games stretch of the year, and that's what kJ averages. 800 00:54:19.639 --> 00:54:22.440 Yeah, I wouldn't may, I wouldn't. You know, it's not 801 00:54:22.480 --> 00:54:24.679 gonna happen though, because the self likes kJ so much. But I wouldn't 802 00:54:24.920 --> 00:54:30.159 be opposed the scene. What that would look like. Yeah, I think 803 00:54:30.199 --> 00:54:34.480 that's I think that's correct. If you ever have any ask rcbs, use 804 00:54:34.480 --> 00:54:38.199 the Twitter hashtag ask RCB. Wow we are flying at today, sir. 805 00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:43.199 Look look at us just zipping ahead. Also with Landon out, do you 806 00:54:43.239 --> 00:54:49.440 think that Landon would date a strawberry blond with tattoos? Landon would be first 807 00:54:49.519 --> 00:54:53.679 in line. That might be me. Atlanta can be second in line at 808 00:54:53.679 --> 00:54:57.760 that point. I know you're married, sir. I am married. It 809 00:54:57.800 --> 00:55:00.599 was a joke, sir, But I know that you would not would that 810 00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:05.280 there's still many people who are married or dead or never alive that would be 811 00:55:05.320 --> 00:55:07.159 in front of you in that line, because I know that that's not your 812 00:55:07.199 --> 00:55:13.480 thing. All right, I guess it's already time to do a preview. 813 00:55:13.519 --> 00:55:17.199 And this is a really lame preview because this game is going to be bad. 814 00:55:17.440 --> 00:55:23.639 This podcast is just lame. This podcast is interesting enough for a Kansas 815 00:55:23.639 --> 00:55:29.559 Texas Tech twenty nine point l show. I think number six Kansas at number 816 00:55:29.599 --> 00:55:34.880 twenty five Oklahoma, I cannot believe the Sooners are ranked. Saturday, February 817 00:55:35.000 --> 00:55:38.960 seventeenth, at three o'clock PM, it is on ESPN. Hold on to 818 00:55:39.079 --> 00:55:43.639 your butts. The Stoners enter at eighteen and seven overall, six and six 819 00:55:43.679 --> 00:55:49.320 in league play, one game worse in both barns than the Jayhawks. Javin 820 00:55:49.360 --> 00:55:52.079 McComb leads the team with fourteen points as a two guard and noncun play, 821 00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:55.840 he shot over forty percent from three, and he's at twenty seven twenty four 822 00:55:55.840 --> 00:56:00.039 percent in conference play. Their point guard is Milos you On with his eight 823 00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:05.000 points and nine points I cannot read it, ita and dyslexic and five assist 824 00:56:05.119 --> 00:56:07.400 while doing most of his damage at the basket. Yeah, so one more 825 00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:12.519 time on that McCollum stat forty percent plus elite three point shooter in the non 826 00:56:12.599 --> 00:56:15.960 con horrendous twenty four percent in conference play, which means gear up for four 827 00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:22.480 for six. The rest of the Sooners lineup features wings Otega Away and Jalen 828 00:56:22.599 --> 00:56:27.079 Moore, who are both double digit scorers, but six' ten center John 829 00:56:27.239 --> 00:56:31.320 Hughley the fourth and six foot nine four man Sam Godwin have been bullied in 830 00:56:31.360 --> 00:56:35.079 conference play. That's one thing I got right. I said that Oklahoma's big 831 00:56:35.119 --> 00:56:37.559 we're not going to hold up in Big twelve play. They have not. 832 00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:40.920 Hunter Dickinson abused them for twenty four points and thirteen rebounds in the game of 833 00:56:40.960 --> 00:56:45.159 Allen field House Nick. One would think that if Hunter Dickinson is going to 834 00:56:45.199 --> 00:56:47.920 get going, that a matchup in the sleepy Lloyd Noble Center against the middling 835 00:56:47.960 --> 00:56:52.760 Oklahoma team without a lot of front court that could be a good place to 836 00:56:52.800 --> 00:56:57.519 start. You'd only hope. So Oklahoma has been exposed quite a bit in 837 00:56:57.599 --> 00:57:00.000 conference play. They do an excellent job keeping team off the glass. Well 838 00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:04.719 it's lugging for KU. Their overall defensive numbers are excellent, and they also 839 00:57:04.719 --> 00:57:07.000 shoot a very good seventy six percent as a team from the free throw line. 840 00:57:07.159 --> 00:57:09.840 They also foul out though they play at a slow pace and they don't 841 00:57:10.000 --> 00:57:15.159 draw a lot of contact. Kansas is just six and five in their last 842 00:57:15.199 --> 00:57:17.519 eleven trips to the Lloyd Noble Center. That seems low. This will be 843 00:57:17.559 --> 00:57:21.840 their final visit for a while. Morgantown is the only venue where they have 844 00:57:21.920 --> 00:57:25.199 a worse record during the same period. I'd figure they would be in Stillwater, 845 00:57:25.400 --> 00:57:29.639 but that's interesting. Yeah, you would think it would be, but 846 00:57:29.639 --> 00:57:32.440 they have a winning record down there in still Water and everywhere but the Lloyd 847 00:57:32.519 --> 00:57:37.840 Noble Center other than Morgantown. I mean five losses in the last eleven years. 848 00:57:37.039 --> 00:57:40.480 They lost that the Buzzer on a put back by Buddy Healed in fifteen. 849 00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:45.719 They lost in eighteen with Polkadoak, a game they were in control and 850 00:57:45.880 --> 00:57:49.480 lost late. They got blown out in nineteen when Brady Mannick went off. 851 00:57:49.880 --> 00:57:53.760 They lost in twenty one when I believe that was part of the three game 852 00:57:53.800 --> 00:57:59.599 losing streak where they just couldn't do anything right and then they lost. What 853 00:57:59.679 --> 00:58:02.320 else they lose there? They lose last year down There. No, when's 854 00:58:02.360 --> 00:58:07.000 the fifth game in the last eleven? I might be wrong on that. 855 00:58:07.199 --> 00:58:15.440 Fifteen This is eighteen, fifteen, eighteen, nineteen twenty one, and the 856 00:58:15.480 --> 00:58:19.440 wins are the last. Have they won seven games there? Since their last 857 00:58:19.559 --> 00:58:22.239 fifth loss? They won? They haven't lost the porter, so that's two 858 00:58:22.320 --> 00:58:28.239 dubs. They beat them in twenty with Isaiah Moss random game, They beat 859 00:58:28.320 --> 00:58:32.920 him in seventeen with Frank Mason as a comeback. They beat him in sixteen 860 00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:39.360 with the Buddy Heel blow up, and they beat him in fifteen. Right, 861 00:58:40.239 --> 00:58:44.119 No, they beat him in fourteen. Maybet him in fourteen. That's 862 00:58:44.159 --> 00:58:49.679 six. They're six and four in their last ten trips, not six and 863 00:58:49.760 --> 00:58:53.800 five. That's better. Okay, they've lost four times. I know that 864 00:58:53.880 --> 00:58:58.679 was riveting information, but it seems like every time they lose down There, 865 00:58:58.800 --> 00:59:06.480 something weird happened. I've picked Kansas to win every game this year. I 866 00:59:06.519 --> 00:59:08.079 shouldn't have picked him to win in Loveock. I really shouldn't know. That 867 00:59:08.199 --> 00:59:12.599 was easy to see coming, and I feel stupid for that. But I 868 00:59:12.719 --> 00:59:15.480 feel like this one is also kind of easy to see coming the other way. 869 00:59:15.920 --> 00:59:19.960 I think Kansas is going to get back on track. Here. Bill 870 00:59:20.000 --> 00:59:23.679 self said that he quote anticipates having Kevin McCuller back. He said, as 871 00:59:23.719 --> 00:59:28.719 long as he doesn't have he said, I plan on in practicing on Friday, 872 00:59:28.760 --> 00:59:30.360 and as long as there's no stepbacks, I anticipate that he'll be good 873 00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:34.719 to go. Jamari McDowell will be back, so they'll have their full team 874 00:59:34.719 --> 00:59:37.920 back. And it just feels like the kind of moments where Kansas teams normally 875 00:59:37.920 --> 00:59:43.440 start to go. It's time for some pride, It's time to nut up 876 00:59:43.480 --> 00:59:46.679 a little bit and go win a road game. You have your your whole 877 00:59:46.679 --> 00:59:51.920 team back at this point against a team that is sputtering the drain that's just 878 00:59:51.960 --> 00:59:55.719 begging for a knockout punch that you're much better than go down there and kick 879 00:59:55.760 --> 01:00:00.360 them in the face. I want to see Kansas. They'll show off their 880 01:00:00.360 --> 01:00:04.599 fangs a little bit. I think Dickinson's got a great matchup. I think 881 01:00:04.679 --> 01:00:08.360 mccullor having his return will help the team tremendously. And I think Johnny Furfey 882 01:00:08.440 --> 01:00:13.039 is due to shoot the ball better from three. I like Kansas to win 883 01:00:13.079 --> 01:00:19.719 a game that down the stretch isn't super close. Kansas seventy three Oklahoma sixty 884 01:00:19.800 --> 01:00:22.679 two, a bounce back win for Kansas. After this, they'll play two 885 01:00:22.719 --> 01:00:25.760 straight at home. They get another week off after this, then they'll get 886 01:00:25.800 --> 01:00:29.880 Texas at home on Saturday, b Yu at home. Two games. You're 887 01:00:29.880 --> 01:00:32.960 gonna be favored in. Let's start to see if this team can find itself 888 01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:37.000 a little bit. This would be a good place to get back on track, 889 01:00:37.039 --> 01:00:39.239 and I think they do it. I do too. This team's not 890 01:00:39.280 --> 01:00:44.360 gonna go one in six on the road this year. I just think that, 891 01:00:44.599 --> 01:00:46.119 like you said, the momentum, I feel like they could win the 892 01:00:46.119 --> 01:00:51.360 next five honestly with if they can pick up some wiminium. Obviously you could 893 01:00:51.440 --> 01:00:53.039 think you said, Like you said, they have that week off coming up, 894 01:00:53.079 --> 01:00:58.039 which be very beneficial for a team that is just nagging with injuries and 895 01:00:58.800 --> 01:01:02.079 exhaustion for playings so many minutes. So that'll be that'll be something to look 896 01:01:02.119 --> 01:01:07.599 forward to. But I do think they won this game. Give me eighty 897 01:01:07.719 --> 01:01:13.880 to seventy one. Kayu has a big performance on the road. Yeah, 898 01:01:13.920 --> 01:01:16.599 they got to. Like if they lose this one and whatever manner, then 899 01:01:16.639 --> 01:01:20.800 you're done with talking about the road games. They'll be one and six and 900 01:01:20.840 --> 01:01:23.800 they'll have the two toughest road games arguably left at Baylor and at Houston. 901 01:01:23.960 --> 01:01:28.760 Like then one in eight on the road is a real possibility. You lose 902 01:01:28.840 --> 01:01:32.280 this game and you are almost certainly going to set a Big twelve or a 903 01:01:32.400 --> 01:01:37.960 bill self record for losses in conference play. Kansas is sitting on five losses 904 01:01:37.079 --> 01:01:42.119 right now. They've never lost more than six, so you already have to 905 01:01:42.119 --> 01:01:45.320 go two and one in your last three road games to avoid what eleven and 906 01:01:45.400 --> 01:01:50.119 seven, geez like. Their record is really starting to look rough at this 907 01:01:50.239 --> 01:01:53.039 point. They've got to start winning some of these. They can't string together 908 01:01:53.159 --> 01:01:57.679 any winning streaks either, because they're losing all the road games. I'm with 909 01:01:57.719 --> 01:02:00.800 you, I think they win this one. They really should care business. 910 01:02:00.800 --> 01:02:06.119 Here full slate of Big twelve and other games this week, beginning with Texas 911 01:02:06.159 --> 01:02:08.280 Tech at number ten. Iowa State. Boy, if this isn't easy to 912 01:02:08.280 --> 01:02:13.079 see coming, I think Texas Tech is gonna score about fifty eight points because 913 01:02:13.079 --> 01:02:16.280 they're coming off that blockbuster showing against Kansas and going on the road to Hilton. 914 01:02:16.320 --> 01:02:22.360 That's very hard to win. I take the Cyclones. I'm attempted to 915 01:02:22.400 --> 01:02:27.159 go the other way, but it is interesting. Iowa State could be looking 916 01:02:27.159 --> 01:02:29.880 ahead to the Houston game a little bit. I will stay with Iowa State. 917 01:02:30.599 --> 01:02:32.920 Good interesting call on that. If Texas Tech wasn't coming out the Kansas 918 01:02:32.920 --> 01:02:35.719 game, I think that'd be a lot more. Yeah, if they didn't 919 01:02:35.719 --> 01:02:37.760 have a guy that just went fifteen for fifteen, I would maybe consider it. 920 01:02:38.119 --> 01:02:43.440 Yeah. TCU at Kansas State, I have no expectation here. I 921 01:02:43.480 --> 01:02:45.360 will take Case State at home. Ooh. I was gonna pick them, 922 01:02:45.400 --> 01:02:50.440 but I'll pick TCU. Texas at number three Houston. I think this game 923 01:02:50.480 --> 01:02:53.199 will be closer than the point spread suggests. Texas has some talent and Houston 924 01:02:53.239 --> 01:02:58.199 gearing up for their big Monday showdown with the Cyclones. But Houston, after 925 01:02:58.239 --> 01:03:01.559 a week off, they get it done here. Yes, some sentiment. 926 01:03:02.440 --> 01:03:07.119 Number nineteen BYU at Oklahoma State. I feel like I've miss read BYU this 927 01:03:07.199 --> 01:03:10.400 year. I was gonna pick him to lose here, but I just think 928 01:03:10.440 --> 01:03:15.800 Oklahoma State might be that bad. I will take the Cougars Sam Cincinnati at 929 01:03:15.800 --> 01:03:20.920 Central Florida. Do we want the Knights? Yeah? I do. I 930 01:03:20.960 --> 01:03:22.199 think I do too. I think I'm feeling them. They might be the 931 01:03:22.239 --> 01:03:27.159 better team, honestly. And number twelve Baylor at West Virginia. Everybody but 932 01:03:27.280 --> 01:03:30.719 Bill can win in Morgantown? Is that continue? Are you going with the 933 01:03:30.719 --> 01:03:36.320 fighting Bears? What's Virginia is so bad? You gotta pick Baylor? Yeah? 934 01:03:36.440 --> 01:03:37.639 I think you do too. I think I think Baylor is the right 935 01:03:37.679 --> 01:03:42.199 call. Here we go with other games. Number nine, Duke, they 936 01:03:42.280 --> 01:03:45.480 played three in a row at home, not this time at Florida State. 937 01:03:45.719 --> 01:03:50.920 I will take the Seminoles. I will take Duke. Number four Marquette at 938 01:03:50.960 --> 01:03:52.960 number one Yukon Game of the Day, And how about this Yukon by ten? 939 01:03:54.440 --> 01:03:58.920 Yep, you Huskies win. I don't have a lot of confidence in 940 01:03:58.960 --> 01:04:01.400 Marquette with Shaka, They've they've been playing really well as of late, and 941 01:04:01.440 --> 01:04:04.960 they have the best player in the conference. But a Dan Hurley shot, 942 01:04:05.000 --> 01:04:08.719 a smart coaching matchup, I feel like I know how that's gonna go. 943 01:04:09.159 --> 01:04:15.199 Number fourteen Illinois at Maryland. Are we trusting the Shannon juniors on the road? 944 01:04:15.280 --> 01:04:19.400 I don't know how good? How good? Maryland's terrible, aren't they? 945 01:04:19.559 --> 01:04:24.320 I don't think they're very good. Eleven ten. I will take Illinois, 946 01:04:24.679 --> 01:04:28.079 Number twenty two, Kentucky at number thirteen Auburn on College Game Day. 947 01:04:28.079 --> 01:04:30.480 I feel like, you gotta be going with Auburn, right, you love 948 01:04:30.719 --> 01:04:33.440 Houston, Bruce. I do like this Auburn team. Yeah, I think 949 01:04:33.480 --> 01:04:36.519 they win, and I don't think it's that close Kentucky. It feels like 950 01:04:36.639 --> 01:04:42.480 Kentucky's just asking for the knockout shot at this point and number perdue or number 951 01:04:42.559 --> 01:04:46.719 number perdue, number two perdue at Ohio State, a game I think is 952 01:04:46.760 --> 01:04:49.159 close, but they just fired their coach. So how well, Yeah, 953 01:04:49.199 --> 01:04:54.840 there's a lot of turmoil in uh in Columbus. So I'm gonna go with 954 01:04:55.000 --> 01:04:58.440 Purdue. Yep, I think that is the right call. Okay, So 955 01:04:58.679 --> 01:05:01.480 you and I are gonna do a show Sunday night, uh, and then 956 01:05:01.519 --> 01:05:04.320 we'll get Landing back. Right, we have one more solo show. Hopefully 957 01:05:04.360 --> 01:05:10.400 it's a more interesting UH game to recap the Oh okay, all right, 958 01:05:10.440 --> 01:05:13.239 you know what I can do that. I'm I'm feeling like we have we 959 01:05:13.320 --> 01:05:15.519 have some excess time here on the back end. Come on, land Come, 960 01:05:17.360 --> 01:05:24.159 do you miss Landing? I haven't heard that's fair yet tonight, So 961 01:05:24.320 --> 01:05:28.119 I do kind of miss that. You have not heard that's fair?

It has been a weird night, 964 01:05:36.440 --> 01:05:40.519 but I think we did a good job and I think we got a quality 965 01:05:40.639 --> 01:05:44.239 show out with uh with that that not an hour and a half? Enjoy 966 01:05:44.239 --> 01:05:46.280 how your podcast wasn't an hour and a half tonight. This is inside the 967 01:05:46.320 --> 01:05:50.679 Paint on Rock Chalk Blog.

But 976 01:06:35.039 --> 01:06:42.039 you told me that's going away. What is going away? The Longhorn Network 977 01:06:42.079 --> 01:06:45.199 when they go to the SEC is Yeah.
