WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:04.360
Okay, So opening with a question, because we're at a crossroads at this

2
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:09.519
point in Kansas basketball, what seed
will the Jayhawks get in this year's NCAA

3
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:19.160
Tournament? Two? Three? What's
more likely? A four? Or a

4
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:24.480
one? One? One? Yeah, I think what's more likely? Three

5
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:29.000
or one? Three? One?
Er said three, So it's gonna be

6
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:33.840
either It's gonna be either a three
or two. I think, well,

7
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:37.280
if you're looking for a sky as
falling show, then I guess you're you're

8
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.640
really not gonna get it here.
If the we all think they're at least

9
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:44.640
the top whatever seed, I thought
Nick would say lower, and I honestly

10
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:46.960
thought Landon would say a little bit
lower too. I thought Nick would say

11
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.159
four or five. So that that
that my whole stick kind of just went

12
00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:54.719
out the window. It wound up
being asked. But that's okay because that

13
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.359
game kind of was too. But
it also kind of wasn't It was?

14
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:02.039
It was fun, fun question mark, I mean, wasn't alright? It

15
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:03.760
was something. This isn't not the
pain on rock chalk Flog. I am

16
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:10.239
Ryan Landret, I am the spirit
of chander Bing, and I am Nick

17
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:15.959
Timberlake because I'm in the doghouse.
Well, I wouldn't say you're like Nick

18
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:21.319
Timberlake has been so but but you
know happened in the past couple of shows.

19
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:26.840
Let's begin with an askar CB from
at cam Liplet Golf, who asked

20
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:34.959
us to name the top five nicks. Hmm, I mean Nick, okay,

21
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:41.439
Nick Wright is gonna be number one
for me, especially considering the Oh

22
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:46.079
that's also good. Like what do
we include? Nicholas is here? Nick?

23
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.519
Are you Nicholas or just a Nick? I mean my legal name is

24
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:52.920
Nicholas, So okay, I think
Nicholas is on the table. Then I

25
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:57.599
mean Nick Offerman, Nick Cage,
Nick Cannon, Nick Nick Oh, well

26
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.200
he sucks Nick Nick our Nick is
definitely better than that. Yeah, I

27
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:06.120
agree. I mean Nicholas Sparks is
the one that comes to mind first.

28
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.319
But I also might not be the
manliest dude in the world. So that's

29
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:15.240
there's that. I mean. I
think Nick is yeah, yeah, who's

30
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:20.000
I think Nick Jonas is a pretty
good nick, is it? Where does

31
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:24.199
Nick Wiper rank on that list?
Uh? Number one in our hearts?

32
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:30.879
Number five in real life? Maybe
Nick Jonas is married named Priyanka. I'm

33
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.159
not as memorable as Nick Young very
attractive and she has a skin tone that

34
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:43.919
is darker than the ceramic coffee cup
I bought. So I can't believe i'd

35
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:50.479
tick that off the buzzer. I
took it off the soundboard number one because

36
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:58.479
Ron Swanson, So, Ron Swanson. There are some good nicks out there,

37
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.000
are there? We were the best? Lay like whenever I think of

38
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:05.919
it, No, there's not,
like Lucas is one of the most famous.

39
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:10.000
Land So so there there really isn't
very many. Also, Landon has

40
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:15.319
his name incorrect way. Yeah,
yeah, he probably is the best one.

41
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:21.080
Michael Landon, the guy who played
Pat Ingles. Does that count?

42
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:25.240
I'm just gonna do. There's a
lot of Ryans though, I mean,

43
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:31.840
Ryan Reynolds is probably top five,
Ryan Gosling, Landon Dickerson, Landon Johnson

44
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:37.879
American professional football player. That's what
BabyCenter dot com says. It gives me

45
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:43.639
no more center dot com. Yeah, these guys has a name that ends

46
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.840
in the N. Yeah. I
know that's because you did it wrong.

47
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.719
Yeah, it's my fault. I
do take responsibility for that. I mean,

48
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.599
did your did the nurse just have
sloppy handwriting on the birth certificate?

49
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:59.759
And that was a specific order from
my mother. Okay, okay, then

50
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.280
then you're unique. Then you're very
very unique, sir. Which and Lucas

51
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.080
are it? The only two that's
yeah, seriously, the only o the

52
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:13.039
Land and the best Ryan's are pretty
clearly Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds. There's

53
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:17.560
a lot of Ryan's out there,
Ryan Seacrest that may be more popular a

54
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.680
long time ago. The best at
Ryan Reynolds currently is the leader in the

55
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:26.360
clubhouse generally, but I'm a Gosling
guy personally. The best athlete I've ever

56
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.720
watched named Ryan was Ryan Howard,
who was great for a while and then

57
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:31.680
he got fat, which I'm currently
trying to gain weight. So maybe I'll

58
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.560
follow the same Ryan. Oh that's
a good one. I don't know if

59
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:40.040
that counts. But and and then
in the the the swimmer, this Ryan

60
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:45.800
locked. Look at that. Ryan
has an Olympic medalist and American Idol host,

61
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.879
famous actors and Land and you have
Land and Lucas. You know,

62
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:53.720
we we we'll think what we can
get. Funny story, I actually have

63
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:58.839
Land and Lucas's warm up closet and
it's not about it. It's like a

64
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:03.079
three XL. I have landon Lucas's
old at least cell phone number. That's

65
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:08.040
right, because you talked to him
and wrote an article for Rock Chalk Blog.

66
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:11.959
Yeah, this famous person ever come
on this show? Who is the

67
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.560
most famous person either of you guys
have ever met? And I will define

68
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.279
that as in, you have said
one sentence in person to them. I

69
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:26.519
did did say one sentence in person
of Frank Mason and Searon Collins. Ryan

70
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.639
Ryan said more than high to Frank
Mason. I did. I saw the

71
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:34.439
story over. I did so for
all the new listeners out there. I

72
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:39.240
walked in on I walked in on
Frank Mason using a single stall bathroom once

73
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:43.399
he didn't lock the door. It
was not my fault. The most famous

74
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:46.800
person I've ever talked to is probably
Travis Kelsey, but I'm trying to think

75
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:53.519
of this. I met Travis Kelcey
about a week before the world got shut

76
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.560
down due to COVID. I met
him the same day that Kansas played Texas

77
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:00.839
Tech in that final game of the
twenty two season. That was right after

78
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.279
the Chiefs won the Super Bowl.
Now, I can't think of any other

79
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.079
people I met. No, we
were at it was at an event.

80
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:10.600
It was at an autograph signing,
but it was it was pretty cool because

81
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:14.360
he took some some time to talk
with each person individually, and and that's

82
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:17.319
the that's the most that's the longest
ten second interaction that I've had with any

83
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.680
famous person or the most famous person, I guess, and Bill self,

84
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:27.079
Sure you want to count Bill?
I also super famous chiefs tight End Sean

85
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:31.959
McGrath. Yeah, I haven't,
but I did meet him. He was

86
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:36.360
nice. That's cool. I've seen
Peyton Manning and Patrick Mahomes at Allen Fieldhouse,

87
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:40.199
so I mean, I haven't met
them, but I saw them with

88
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:44.399
my own eyes. Great, that's
what a segment. This is like the

89
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:51.959
second show so much we moved it
to the front. Well that's enough.

90
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.959
That's enough partying people. Now we
got to get back to business, which

91
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:00.560
is talk about Kansas beating Cincinnati at
allan old house. Didn't we say on

92
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:04.160
the last show that it would be
a game that they won by you know,

93
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:08.759
a few possessions, that you'd forget
about everything that happened in it a

94
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:12.399
few days afterwards. That's what happened. I already have frankly, Yeah,

95
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:16.360
let's talk about it. Nothing to
lose at this point, right, number

96
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:26.160
seven, Kansas seventy four, Cincinnati
sixty nine. There we go, just

97
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:29.199
the way we like it. We
said on the last show they would win.

98
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:31.959
I'm sorry, we said on the
last show they would win by a

99
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.319
few. And that's what happened on
Monday night. The Jayhawks led for the

100
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:40.399
final seventeen minutes, and the outcome, while not being in doubt, was,

101
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.120
you know, they just kind of
played at a plus seven advantage the

102
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:47.199
whole second half of that. Like
the game itself, garnered mixed thoughts from

103
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:54.040
the fans, including our co host
on this show, Nicholas ranked somewhere in

104
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:59.600
the middle of Nicholas Wibert's tell me
why you were underwhelmed and unimpressed and all

105
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.519
of those things, because I don't
think that you walked away particularly happy with

106
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:09.399
what the Jayhawks gave you on on
Monday night. I just don't. I

107
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.040
expected more. I expected a better
follow up to that atrocity, that war

108
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:20.240
crime, that Chihuahua PTSD telicopter meme
of a game on Saturday in Morgantown.

109
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:26.160
I expected a little bit better of
a performance from pau and they won the

110
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.439
game. They went by five.
I think that it was it was a

111
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:35.120
bigger margin at the end than it
looks. The break kind of the foot

112
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.799
of the break kind of went on
in the late second half. So and

113
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.159
I hate being the Kansas fan who's
like, they didn't win seventy four to

114
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.440
fifty four. This team is terrible. They're sixteen to three, but all

115
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.320
their wins have been closed. I
mean, I've said that before this season,

116
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.799
so I'm not gonna be a complete
hypocrite, but I'd say my bigger

117
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:58.720
disappointment from this game is just generally
it's kind of just been the same old

118
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:03.559
saying old where this team cannot put
their foot on the gas for an entire

119
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:07.000
forty minutes of play. Where they
started off hot in this game. We'll

120
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.399
talk about it, but you know, a quick ten point lead withers away

121
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:13.039
and Cincinnati. He's played everyone close, don't get me wrong, but the

122
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.679
lead goes away, and it's just
kind of this five point little arm distance

123
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.600
away from Cincinnati the entire game.
And they drew close a few times,

124
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:26.679
but you know, overall, it's
a similar story that the bench production is

125
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:33.279
non existent. Johnny Furfey is emerging
as a complete fifth man on this roster,

126
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.279
but he's almost kind of taking the
place of another starter, Dwan Harris,

127
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.519
who hasn't done much of anything lately, and you're kind of back to

128
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:45.639
that four guys who can actually give
you productive offense. I think Seth Greenberg,

129
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:46.480
which he says a lot of dumb
things. He said a lot of

130
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.000
dad things before he said a good
thing, but a good thing he said

131
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.159
the other night was at Kansas.
The defenders can't score and the scorers can't

132
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.759
defend, which is the exact tail
of the tape this season. Johnny Furfey

133
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.759
obviously fresh ten years old, not
a great defender. Dwan Harris, for

134
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:07.000
as much credit as he gets for
defense, not great offensively. Hunter Dickinson

135
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.679
has had lapses. We talked extensively
on the last show about it, Lannon

136
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.600
and I seem to think that he
seems a little bit lazy defensively. Wasn't

137
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.840
great again defensively in this game,
a little bit of foul trouble early on,

138
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:20.679
But overall, I think that you're
starting to see that this team just

139
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.559
doesn't have guys who are able to
do it all, you know, and

140
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.799
that's okay in some circumstances when your
bench is so thin as it is for

141
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:31.360
Kansas. I think that you have
a lot harder time overcoming some of these

142
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.840
glaring issues that some of these players
have in regards to their individual performances.

143
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:41.279
So Landon, I think Nick raises
valid points. The clearly things aren't just

144
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:46.840
buzzing right along for this team that's
lost two of its last five. But

145
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.960
I have two points and then I'll
throw it to you. This is not

146
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.240
a shot at Nick, who I
think raises good points, more of a

147
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:54.519
shot at Kay Twitter Number one.
I don't think anybody who's critical about the

148
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.320
way that their winning games should be
able to say that the Big Twelve is

149
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.720
so strong and best conference ever and
flex their muscles on Twitter. I hate

150
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:03.639
this. I hate seeing those tweets
talking about how great the Big Twelve is

151
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.159
and all these teams make the tournament
and then we only beat them by five,

152
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.799
We only beat them by eight,
Like because Cincinnati's like the tenth best

153
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:13.399
team in the Big Twelve, and
they would finish top three in the ACC,

154
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.200
they'd finish top three in the Pac
twelve, they'd finished top four in

155
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:22.000
the SEC, Like, the Big
Twelve is truly next level loaded. The

156
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.879
other thing that I want to ask
about is is Kansas really because I feel

157
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.559
like there's been more criticism over the
Jayhawks at this point in the season than

158
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.559
there is most years, and I
feel like they're better right now than most

159
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:39.679
Kansas teams are. They're sixteen and
three. Last year's team member lost three

160
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.200
conference games in a row. Last
year's team was sixteen and four, wound

161
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.799
up being a number one seed.
The year before that, they went through

162
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:48.639
that lull in the middle of the
year with Kentucky and Texas, and then

163
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.679
they lost back to back games.
Obviously, we know what happened there.

164
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.519
The twenty twenty COVID team around this
time, they were winning games, but

165
00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:58.879
we were complaining about how they couldn't
score. And then you had other teams

166
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:03.399
like the twenty eighteen team that wound
up making what is now a vacated Final

167
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.759
Four. They lost four of their
first twelve conference games. It just feels

168
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:09.240
like that they're kind of on the
same path. They have a great coach,

169
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:13.080
they have tons of talent. They're
not just humming right along right now,

170
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:18.559
but they usually do this in January
and then sooner or later they get

171
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:22.080
it going and are really high seed
in the tournament. Like it seems like

172
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.320
the reaction is different this year than
most years, and people are expecting it

173
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:30.320
not to get better like it normally
does. I just don't get it.

174
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:35.159
Am I missing something? Yeah?
I think those are all valid points as

175
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:41.399
well. It is weird because shockingly, I will probably take a middle position

176
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:46.240
here. I know, everyone sit
down and take a breath. Surprise never

177
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:48.720
happens. Is it? Is it
fair? It's a little bit fair.

178
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.840
This team is good. I don't
think anyone should should say otherwise. But

179
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.600
they haven't looked impressive. I think
both are true. They haven't looked impressive,

180
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:03.759
but are good. This team's top
end talent and scoring talent, especially

181
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:11.279
with Johnny Furfey playing some truly excellent
basketball in the last several games, especially

182
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:18.080
so in this game. That's huge
for this team because I think one reason

183
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.360
this team is the way it is
and looks the way it looks and is

184
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.960
being criticized and talked about the way
it is, is because they have a

185
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:31.919
very high ceiling because of Hunter Dickinson
and Kevin mccullor, probably the best combo

186
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.559
in college basketball, one of the
best combos, if not the best combo

187
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.960
in the self era. Then those
two guys are so good and so consistent

188
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:45.039
most of the night or most nights
that they alone, not alone, of

189
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:46.679
course, but like they're good enough
that your floor is going to be so

190
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:52.080
high most nights that that's gonna be
able to beat most of the team's kansa

191
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:56.000
is gonna play when you throw in
all the rest of the talent they have,

192
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:00.480
however, until Johnny Furfey's recent emergence
and a course, they even have

193
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:05.159
lost a game against not a great
team to lose to. Since Johnny Furfy's

194
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:09.480
been good obviously in West Virginia,
but the rest of the talent has been

195
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.080
so weird. Yes, Kasey Adams
has been pretty consistently good, but he's

196
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.799
not, like he's not a game
breaker most nights. He's gonna give you

197
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:18.919
really solid stuff and he's gonna be
explosive, but he's not a guy that's

198
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.200
gonna like just win you a game
on his own. Furfey until recently,

199
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:28.200
had been pretty streaky. Marco Jackson
obviously has been a complete non threat scoring

200
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:33.440
for the most part. Timberlake has
had He's been a little bit better overall,

201
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:35.639
but you know, not a huge
scoring guy for the most part.

202
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.120
And I think for those those kind
of things like also Dewan Harris we've talked

203
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:48.679
about endlessly as well, and we'll
talk about more. Those struggles lower your

204
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:52.200
maybe they lower your ceiling. Maybe
that's what we're really seeing, is that

205
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:56.559
the top end talent, especially the
best two players on this team, have

206
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:01.519
the floor so high that this team
is gonna beat most teams at plays.

207
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:07.559
But the rest of the complimentary pieces
would otherwise raise the ceiling to insane levels,

208
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.720
but they haven't been consistently good enough
to do so. I think that's

209
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:16.000
part of the struggles you're seeing.
Also, the Big Twelve is super good,

210
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.600
Like Cincinnati is not that bad,
guys, Cincinnati is pretty good.

211
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.679
They're that large team right now.
Yeah, I know their records like two

212
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:26.480
and four and the Big Twelve,
but like like they have given everyone a

213
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:28.200
tough time. Like I don't think
they're gonna win a ton of Big Twelve

214
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:33.200
games, but they are a tough
out. They're a pretty solid team.

215
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.639
They're not gonna get crushed by almost
anybody, like they're They're really solid.

216
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.519
So for all those reasons, I
think that's what you're seeing. Primarily,

217
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:46.080
I do think this KU team is
good. I think they are going to

218
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.840
win most of their Big Twelve games. I still think they have a very

219
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:54.200
very good chance to at least share
in the Big Twelve regular season title,

220
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.759
if not win it. Out Right, honestly, I know Houston's really good,

221
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:00.759
But yeah, I don't think there's
any reason to panic. I you

222
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.720
know, depending on what we see
the rest of the season. I do

223
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:07.440
think there's a really large chance that
they're not gonna be a Final four team,

224
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.159
but they also very well could.
Path is you know, very dependent

225
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:14.960
on that kind of thing. But
they're a good basketball team. They're a

226
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:19.159
good basketball team. They just don't
have a certain level of flash that I

227
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:22.320
think we're used to seeing K teams
have. I think Nick's assessment that they

228
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:27.440
don't seemingly have a huge ability to
just put their foot down on the gas

229
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:33.240
and just go. I think that's
largely true for the most part that we

230
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:37.200
have seen it in Spurts. I
think that this team too, Like,

231
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.600
I mean, they are you know, they're sixteen and three, they're eighteenth

232
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:45.480
in Ken Palm, they're fourteenth in
the net. Like they're tied for first

233
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.320
place and the win column in the
Big Twelve, which is where they normally

234
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:52.200
are. And like I don't know. I just feel like every year,

235
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:56.639
you know, last year's team started
sixteen to one and lost three in a

236
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.360
row, and people were terrified.
They like, this team only had two

237
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.160
scorers and one of those a freshman, and the rest of the pieces aren't

238
00:17:03.160 --> 00:17:06.400
gonna work. And then look what
happened. They went on a hot streak

239
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:07.960
and they won like nine out of
ten or something like that, and I

240
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:14.359
think would have had an excellent chance
to go deeper in the tournament they did

241
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:18.799
if their coach didn't have a medical
emergency. Like until I'm just always gonna

242
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:21.680
trust over the grind of a season, which is, you know, now

243
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:25.440
we're getting up around the twenty game
mark and we're gonna continue and teams are

244
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:29.079
gonna get ten more games of fatigue. The new guys in this league,

245
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:30.640
the Houston's and Cincinnatis and aren't used
to the grind of the Big twelve,

246
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:34.640
get a little more tired. Kansas
is more equipped for it. Kansas always

247
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:37.240
seems to play better in the second
half in the first half, and they

248
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:41.759
have such a brutal schedule where they're
gonna need that. But yeah, until

249
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:47.480
Kansas is like, you know,
nine and six in Big twelve player or

250
00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:51.039
something. I'm always gonna trust that
with that coach and the talent on that

251
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:55.960
roster, they'll figure something out.
They're not the best team talent Blise or

252
00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.039
Humming right along wise in the country
right now. Up with that coach and

253
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:03.519
with parody being what it is,
I have all the confidence that they'll he'll

254
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:07.480
get as much out of this team
as it's possible to get, which considering

255
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:12.720
what they have on it, I
think I could name four teams, Nick,

256
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:18.279
could you name four teams right now
that you think are definitively better than

257
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:23.759
Kansas? I got two, Uh, Purdue, Yukon, which can't just

258
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:30.440
beat Yukon earlier this season, but
exactly altogether, Yukon's looks looks better than

259
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.960
Kansas right now. Those are the
two I've got. You want to say

260
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:40.839
North Carolina, I listened to that. Yeah, they have an argument,

261
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:42.960
but so there you go right around. Then, Yeah, anybody else you're

262
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:45.839
gonna say Houston's better than them,
I'm not. I know ESPN thinks that

263
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:52.279
I think about Arizona these days.
Arizona's got as many losses as Kansas does

264
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.200
with a much worse schedule. Like
I I don't know what, I just

265
00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:00.319
think this is kind of what college
basketball is, right, I mean,

266
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:03.920
they're they're I think that you know, Arizona has more losses than Kansas.

267
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:08.440
I would I think depending on what
you want to do with North Carolina,

268
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:14.240
Kansas is at worst the fourth best
team in the Big Twelve, and that

269
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:18.519
a fourth best team in the country
with a coach that always has them getting

270
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:22.000
better going forth. Yukon doesn't always
do that. North Carolina doesn't always do

271
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:26.039
that. Purdue, Yeah, we
know that team doesn't normally get stronger as

272
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:30.480
the season goes along. They totally
Dickinson themselves. Yep. I'll take my

273
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:33.799
chances with Bill selfh taking a team
with two of the best five players in

274
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.480
the country and getting a lot out
of them in the league where Kansas has

275
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:42.519
the most opportunities for quad one wins
of any team in college basketball left,

276
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:48.319
I'll take my chances, especially Landon. If this guy continues to light up

277
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:52.359
from behind the arc. Johnny Furfey
was the headliner huge night career night,

278
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.519
twenty three points and eleven rebounds in
his best showing of his young career,

279
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:00.160
seven for eight from floor, three
for four from three, and four for

280
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:03.799
four inside the arc six to nine
at the line as well. He played

281
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.960
thirty six minutes. He really was
the best player on the floor for both

282
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:11.240
teams. Huge plays, both haves
all game. We really wanted to see

283
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:15.200
him not only start a game strong, which he'd done, but finished really

284
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:18.960
strong, and he did. He
was good throughout the night, made some

285
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:26.359
big baskets down the stretch, and
he really has so solidified himself as not

286
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:29.720
only just the fifth starter, but
really the third best scorer as of late.

287
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:33.640
Yeah, Nick, you talked about
how the depth was a problem with

288
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:37.519
this team at the beginning of the
year. We all agreed outside of Dickinson

289
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:40.599
and McCuller, who was gonna score. Adam has stepped up a little bit.

290
00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:42.200
Harris, not as much. It's
got to make you feel better if

291
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:47.160
Kansas does wind up rounding in new
championship contender. For him, they always

292
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:51.720
needed a guy like Furfey to emerge
as that number two guy that's gonna play

293
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:55.880
alongside McCuller playing the two and furfee
you have to be thrilled with what he's

294
00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:59.279
done in his four starts. Absolutely, Remember, this guy's nineteen years old

295
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:02.480
and he's just completely come in and
take it a real kind of like Spee.

296
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:04.680
I guess you know that International Slam, a guy who can shoot threes

297
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:11.359
a little a little, a little
raw physically. I think we've noticed that

298
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:12.880
obviously. You know, he doesn't
have all the years in the weight room

299
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:17.559
with you know, the strength and
conditioning coach. But I do agree.

300
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:19.079
I think he's better than Speed.
I think that if he's not gonna be

301
00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:22.480
at Kansas for all four years,
but I'd be worried. I'm kind of

302
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:26.240
worried now that he's gonna be here
after next year with the way he's playing.

303
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:29.799
But no, he's been fantastic.
Everything you could have hoped for.

304
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.519
We sat on this podcast about two
months ago scratching our heads like, well,

305
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:37.559
Nick Timberlake's not playing well, Furfy's
not getting that many minutes. Maybe

306
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:40.799
maybe we're gonna see Jamar McDowell.
But now it is very cool to see

307
00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:44.279
Johnny Furfey kind of take this rise
in conference play. This is exactly what

308
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:48.720
this team needs. I'm not gonna
say he's better than Speed. He's about

309
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:52.119
the same size. He doesn't weigh
as much as Speed, as I don't

310
00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:59.240
think Speed was listed at six eight
one ninety five. Johnny Furfey is listed

311
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:03.599
at six seven or six nine two
oh two. Wow, so they basically

312
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.279
are the same size. Uh.
I think Furfee contributes more on the glass,

313
00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:12.279
but Spee is the best three point
shooter maybe outside of Grady Dick Speed

314
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:15.640
I've ever get there until he didn't
fully get there until his senior year.

315
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:19.000
This dude, Oh you mean as
a freshman You mean at this stage in

316
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:22.440
their way further ahead than Speed.
Oh yeah, yeah, he's but he's

317
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:29.240
probably better right now than Spee was
as a sophomore, maybe a junior honestly,

318
00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:30.160
And that's what I'm saying. Yeah, obviously, like if you took

319
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:33.480
senior speed against this guy, then
yeah, I'll take senior speed. But

320
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:40.519
like Johnny Furfey is doing things that
yeah, like junior Speed was just starting

321
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:44.640
to do consistently, and he's doing
the hard part. Right. We said

322
00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:48.680
we need a guy to develop and
be that fifth starter. Furfey's doing more

323
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:52.319
than you ask. Can you get
anything out of l Marco Jackson and Nic

324
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:55.880
timber Lake, Like they need to
do less than we thought they needed.

325
00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:00.000
Do you know how many total points
Speed scored in this freshman year? Uh?

326
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:04.839
It was like he he did it
almost all of it in the first

327
00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:08.680
like eight games. I'm gonna guess
like forty, it's seventy two, seventy

328
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:11.720
two. Ok, ironic that you
guess forty and it was seventy two.

329
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:17.119
That's what happened to Kayu and Kentucky
that year. But oh oh you had

330
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:23.759
how many do you have in that
game? Probably between zero and half.

331
00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:30.200
Yeah, I'm gonna say very very
few points. But yeah, Furfey is

332
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:34.279
like, gosh, can Almarco Jackson
and Nick Tipper, Like, can either

333
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:38.240
one of them be fifty percent of
what they thought they'd be? Because with

334
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:42.039
Furfrey giving you two hundred percent of
what you thought he'd be, you don't

335
00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:45.880
need a lot. They just need
somebody to be a sixth man. Because

336
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:51.279
Furfy is doing the heavy lifting here. He's been awesome, and clearly it

337
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:52.559
was the right movie get him in
there. I think there's a chance this

338
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:56.319
might be your only year of Johnny
Furfey. I don't think that'll be the

339
00:23:56.359 --> 00:24:00.440
case, but if he keeps doing
this, he is gone. Yeah.

340
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.680
I mean if he comes out here
and he averages like fifteen a night for

341
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:04.759
the rest of the season, yeah, I don't know why he'd come back.

342
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:08.720
I think it's quite possible. I
don't think it's gonna happen. I

343
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:11.279
think once guys get more tape on
him and it'll get a little harder.

344
00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:15.920
But may it's more possible than I
ever thought i'd be saying it was at

345
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:18.599
this point in the year. What
is Johnny Furfy shooting on threes? This

346
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:26.039
year? He is shooting thirty nine
points seven percent. Cheez Yeah, and

347
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:30.119
he's turning into a volume guy too. He's attempting four to threes a game

348
00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:34.559
now and averaging forty percent of them. Like, yeah, that'll that's that's

349
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:38.519
like, uh, nineteen year olds
that are gonna be high volume forty percent

350
00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:42.119
three point shooters that are also six
nine, they're not gonna be in college

351
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:45.920
very long. I think he get
one year seven and a half a night

352
00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:52.880
where most of his games he only
hit over seven in his first like nine

353
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:56.240
games once. Yeah, well,
I mean it's it's everything that's happened,

354
00:24:56.279 --> 00:24:59.079
I mean the last right, And
that's what that's what I'm saying, Like

355
00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:03.640
he's been so so good the last
several games. I mean in conference play,

356
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:07.000
it's got to be more than that. In conference conference play, Yeah,

357
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:12.400
he's way more than that conference play, I mean conference play totals per

358
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:18.960
game, conference averaging twelve points a
game and shooting forty four and on five

359
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:22.000
threes a night. Like, yeah, he's he's been great Kansas. Things

360
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.279
that have not been great the bench
points. Kansas got just two bench points

361
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:27.599
in this game. Feel like they
have a couple of these games a year.

362
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:32.039
Uh, and they were al Marco
Jackson's free throws with seven seconds left,

363
00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:37.279
so no baskets and two points that
almost they almost don't count, barely

364
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:41.279
getting it in there. Cincinnati had
thirty two bench points. The Kansas is

365
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:45.000
too. I have a little bit
of a different reaction than I think you

366
00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:47.799
guys will about this. Nick,
If I ask you, how concerned are

367
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:49.839
you about it? This is a
great spot for you to say the bench

368
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:55.240
isn't giving them enough. I assume
that's how you feel. Yeah, yeah,

369
00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:59.039
exactly. Or Landon, is this
a problem? I mean it's it's

370
00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:03.599
obviously not great. But is this
actually like a wow that's gonna cost them

371
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:07.680
sort of thing? Uh, it's
unfortunate not to have much of a safety

372
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:11.519
net. It's not the it's not
singularly the thing that will cost them their

373
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:15.400
eventual March loss. But it could
contribute. I think it's a problem because

374
00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:19.480
Hunter Dickinson and Kevin mckeller are both
banged up and and they it's not like

375
00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:22.119
they were gonna sit anyway. Self
plays his guys a lot. But and

376
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:26.279
then that's if they get into foul
trouble or they get hurt in a march

377
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:30.279
game or whatever, then you're completely
screwed because there's really no one you trust

378
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:33.440
to give you anything. They're done
anyway you can get. You can get

379
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:37.839
Parker Brown, all the all the
experience you one. If Hunter Dickinson pops

380
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:40.359
his knee out of place in the
round of thirty two game, you're done

381
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:45.119
anyway. Right, But I'm not
too concerned about that because, like anybody's

382
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:48.680
like, wow, they the bench
out scored kansas Is by thirty okay,

383
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:53.079
and kansas Is starters outscored theirs by
what thirty six? Like thirty five?

384
00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:57.480
Like, I don't know the starter's
points count. I it is what it

385
00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:00.519
is, Bill, Self, teams
never have huge benches. You obviously would

386
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:03.759
like Timberlake to give you something,
but we might not be there. I

387
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:07.000
don't know, all right, Nick, tell me about Kevin McCuller. Certainly,

388
00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:10.920
Kevi McClure labored his way through a
five for sevent team shooting performance,

389
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:14.319
but he still managed to finish with
twenty points, five rebounds, five assists,

390
00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:17.440
and three steals. He hit two
big threes and some clutch free throws.

391
00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:19.680
Steal the night in thirty five minutes. Is he beatrop Player of the

392
00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:22.599
Year right now? I think he
is with a bullet. Also want to

393
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:26.279
note he shot five for seventeen and
he's still put up more points than Dewan

394
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:30.000
Harris could into combine like three or
four games on a similar shooting mark,

395
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:33.799
So you know, take that for
what it's worth. We're gonna move right

396
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:37.359
on a Dwan Harris here. But
yes, I do think he's the Player

397
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:41.200
of the year Land And I feel
like we short Kevin McCuller on this show

398
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:45.440
because he's so good. There really
isn't anything to analyze. He's just who

399
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:49.359
he is is consistent and lethal,
He's special. He's everything that you dreamed

400
00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:52.960
that he could be when he announced
he was transferring to Kansas. Like he

401
00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:57.200
can even shoot the ball decently well
from three. He really is Jalen Wilson

402
00:27:57.240 --> 00:28:02.440
though, Like he really really is
just another year of Jalen Wilson because he

403
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:07.519
just doesn't shoot a high percentage most
nights. But men like he's no,

404
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:10.720
you're wrong on that one. I
get what you're saying with how he puts

405
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:14.359
up similar numbers. But Kevin mccullor
was shooting fifty percent before this game on

406
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:17.680
the season. Mccullar is at forty
eight percent this year. Jalen Wilson I

407
00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:19.759
think was at like forty two percent
last year. Fair enough. I guess

408
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:25.160
he does have still a good sample
size of games where he's something more like

409
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:32.200
five to seventeen. But nonetheless,
his leadership and his clutch ability and just

410
00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:34.720
when you know you need a basket, Kevin mccullor is just going to be

411
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:38.200
the guy that goes and gets you
one and get to the free throw line.

412
00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:45.039
Really a special guy. What neck
just did was the stupidest thing I've

413
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.359
ever seen anything happen in these notes. But it's made me laugh because he's

414
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:53.720
that answers that already. Okay,
I'll read about to one Harris and you

415
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:56.519
guys can tell me about him.
And he finished with eight points and eight

416
00:28:56.559 --> 00:29:00.680
assists. He did have five turnovers. The final shooting numbers were just three

417
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:06.240
for ten, including another rough performance
inside the arc two for eight on twos.

418
00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:11.359
Let's have this conversation Landon, I'll
throw it to you first. Is

419
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:15.000
the one Harris worse than last year? And is the one Harris hurting Kansas?

420
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:23.440
Uh? He is not worse than
last year, and he is at

421
00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:32.039
least holding their potential back a little
bit. I think more of the case

422
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:34.960
is just that he hasn't taken a
step forward from last year, and that

423
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:40.039
makes it feel like he's worse.
But I just don't think. I think

424
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:45.079
it's more of a lack of forward
momentum than moving backwards. He's not worse

425
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:48.839
than last year. You say,
Dwan, Harris in one point four more

426
00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:56.440
minutes per game this season is shooting
last season from the field goal mark forty

427
00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:02.279
percent this year three point percentage is
actually slightly up. Rebounding is down point

428
00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:03.799
six. Who cares about that as
much? A sister up point six?

429
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:07.839
Which makes sense? You Worth,
Hunter Dickinson, Kevin mccoller. Blocks of

430
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:10.599
the same. No one cares about
that. Steals are down point six,

431
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:14.279
fouls are the same, No one
cares. Turnovers are up by point five

432
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:18.240
margin, and points are down one
point eight points per game. So you're

433
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:22.039
telling me that he hasn't regressed in
a senior season. But under Bill self,

434
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:26.440
under Bill's self, players typically improved
throughout the course of their career,

435
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:30.519
don't they. Yeah, he's got
a better team and he's worse Land And

436
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:33.319
I don't know how you how that's
And I think Nick said forty one percent

437
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:36.960
last year instead of forty seven percent. He's gone down. No, he

438
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:40.400
was forty seven percent forty seven agree
that. I don't know. I mean,

439
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:42.680
I stand by exactly what I just
said. I think it's like his

440
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:47.640
his lack of development, you can
definitely count as a knock. He's shooting

441
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:53.559
eleven percent worse on twoes, eleven
percent worse like I think he's he's on

442
00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:59.440
a he's absolutely worse. And he's
still a good free throw shooter. He's

443
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:02.640
only seven three percent from the line. You think point guard is the gold

444
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:06.559
standard for that, it's not.
He's rebounding least, he's stealing less.

445
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:08.759
I think the defense has put a
point guard on a team that has Kevin

446
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:12.440
mccullar, Hunter Dickinson and Johnny Furpy, who's just have you seen Kentucky's point

447
00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:17.960
guard? Yeah, because Kiki's point
guards a five star recruit. They always

448
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:19.640
get guys like that that could fill
it up and do amazing things. I

449
00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:22.119
would love for Kansas to have a
guy like that, But you can't expect

450
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:27.240
Dewan Harris to be Rob Dillingham,
I think a better scorer in three years

451
00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:32.519
of Kansas. Yeah, whenever Nick
says that he's gone down one point eight

452
00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:34.480
points per game, it's not a
big deal if you're going from twenty to

453
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:41.119
eighteen. But Dwan Harris, that's
like twenty four percent decrease from nine to

454
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:45.599
seven, Like that's a big drop. I think he's absolutely also this year

455
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:49.480
has I don't. I don't think
so. I think he's again. I

456
00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:52.440
think he's just exactly the same.
I think he's he's worth On defense,

457
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:56.319
he is shooting a worst percentage from
inside. That's not good. That has

458
00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:59.480
been bad, and that has hurt
the team at times. I'll give you

459
00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:01.920
that that that element is worse.
So Lennon, if if, if Dewe

460
00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:07.599
Harris is not the problem, it's
not Hunter Dickinson. We've already established that

461
00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:12.000
it's not kJ Adams, and it's
certainly now not the fourth man, the

462
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:15.960
fifth man in the starting line up. It certainly hasn't been uh Johnny Furfey,

463
00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:17.839
So he is the one that sticks
out as a sore thumb, as

464
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:21.559
the guy who really just hasn't been
playing well this season. I just don't

465
00:32:21.559 --> 00:32:23.200
know how that's to understand. I
get your giving, don't get it.

466
00:32:23.640 --> 00:32:29.920
They're giving thirty six minutes thirty six
minutes a game to a guy that's making

467
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:34.200
less than three baskets per forty Would
you rather al Marco be out there and

468
00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:38.880
do nothing? Yeah, at least
some Marco is putting up shots, though

469
00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:43.000
self's never gonna do it because he
loves Dwan Harris. But I would love

470
00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:46.920
to see Almarco play twenty seven minutes. Primary we'll get toasted on defense most

471
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:51.440
nights. Do you think Harris's defense
has been very good this year? Like

472
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:52.880
he's made a couple of nice plays
every now and then, But I think

473
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:59.680
he's been definitely worse one Harris is
in position. I think they struggled coming

474
00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:02.440
off of of screens and switches.
I think I think that's I think a

475
00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:07.720
lot of the venom directed at Hunter
Dickinson's lack of defense is a little bit

476
00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:10.519
of Dewan Harris and whoever's up there
letting the guy blow right by him.

477
00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:13.799
I mean, I don't know.
I'm not saying that Dewan Harris is like

478
00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:19.079
the second coming of Chris Paul,
but like he's you can definitely say that

479
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:22.160
his lack of development is a knock. I'm not here to argue that at

480
00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:24.720
all. Yeah, no, I
understand that. But again, like I

481
00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:30.319
get, like the Kansas spiel bill
self spiel for three four years now has

482
00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:34.480
been that Dwan Harris does the stuff
that doesn't show up on the stat sheet.

483
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:37.440
Hustle, plays team player, obviously, assists too up but he you

484
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:42.960
know, all these defense he does
many in many ways. But when you're

485
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:45.799
talking about and this goes back to
reiterating the point that when you're a team

486
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:51.039
that has no bench production, zero
points in the bench production in these like

487
00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:52.599
the past, like you know,
the past game, maybe they had two,

488
00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:54.359
I can't remember. At the look
of the box score, it wasn't

489
00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:59.839
very many. But with very little
bench production and you're relying on five guys,

490
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:04.079
you've got to step up and be
a little bit more assertive. And

491
00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:07.039
he's taken it. Agree, the
stats show that he's regressed a little bit,

492
00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:09.039
So that is a very that is
a warning sign. And when you're

493
00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:14.159
talking about the quarterback of a basketball
team that is the point guard, you

494
00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:17.199
you've got to start questioning, like, what's going on with the one Harris

495
00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:20.280
Because at the beginning of the season
it looked like he was kind of a

496
00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:23.519
breakout junior year. He had scored
twenty three points against Kentucky, looked a

497
00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:30.119
lot more polished offensively, and you
know, it was the one Harris we'd

498
00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:32.480
never seen before. And it's gone
again. It's gone. I don't understand

499
00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:35.519
it. It's kind of like,
you know, a guy like and this

500
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:38.599
is not a good comparison, but
obviously like Nick Timberlake coming in from thousand,

501
00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:42.960
a great shooter. Shooters usually can
consistently be shooters. I know the

502
00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:50.119
competition's not like whatever dumb conference thousands
in, but usually that that that translates.

503
00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:52.320
But it hasn't at all for him
and Dwan Harris. It it just

504
00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:55.920
hasn't panned out. I just just
hasn't panned out at all. I don't

505
00:34:55.920 --> 00:35:00.000
know if Harris is I still like
Harris is a very good point guard,

506
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:05.199
but I think the problem is the
team's not getting enough from its secondary pieces

507
00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:10.599
for you to for his deficiencies to
be masked. They need him to step

508
00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:15.559
up and score more than I think
they thought they would. And because he

509
00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:21.039
hasn't taken that step forward. Because
he hasn't taken this step forward we thought,

510
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:25.400
it's even further showcased with how guys
like El Marco and Timberlake haven't done

511
00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:30.199
anything. I still have confidence in
Harris because he has a huge amount of

512
00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:32.920
sample size. He's played one hundred
and twenty five games. He started almost

513
00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:37.559
one hundred of them. Like I
would surprise me if that weird forty on

514
00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:42.320
twos or thirty nine percent on two
swings back around. No, it wouldn't

515
00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:45.800
surprise me at all if he shoots
fifty nine percent on twos in February and

516
00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:49.280
it balances. But they need it, especially with the schedule getting tougher,

517
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:52.760
because they're gonna be going up against
some really good point guards starting this weekend.

518
00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:55.280
Taman Lipsey is a guy who averages
almost fifteen to sixteen points to night

519
00:35:55.320 --> 00:36:00.119
for Iowa State. You cannot take
a minus fourteen and in the scoring department,

520
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:02.519
in the point guard position, whenever
you know that that game is going

521
00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:07.199
to be decided by a handful of
possessions of the most. That's all I

522
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:08.679
got. That's all I got on
the subject. I know we kind of

523
00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:10.480
have to move along here a little
bit. I don't want it to sound

524
00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:14.360
like we're just blasting to one Harris, but they Yes, the answer is

525
00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:16.800
they need more from him, and
I think undoubtedly he's regressed a bit.

526
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:20.559
Still, only halfway through the year, plenty of time for that turnaround.

527
00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:23.599
Cincinnati made three threes and shot seventeen
percent from deep. Even the white guy

528
00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:27.599
went oh for six. Isn't it
amazing how they learned how to guard just

529
00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:30.800
forty eight hours after all those comments
about how they don't know how to guard

530
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:34.639
the three point line in Morgantown.
Wow, Bill self teaches him fast.

531
00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:37.079
Yeah, that's the development we like
to see, you know why, because

532
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:42.039
three point shooting defense is not a
thing, and it's all luck, it's

533
00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:45.320
somewhat luck. Luck is the biggest
factor out of all. All right,

534
00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:47.719
now, let's talk about the rebounds. Nick, tell me about how this

535
00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:55.039
was also a problem. Yeah against
the Berka frontcourt that post elite rebounding numbers

536
00:36:55.239 --> 00:36:58.679
or sorry, no, that's I'm
reading the exact wrong thing. Oh,

537
00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:02.280
that's right, that's right. Okay, I was gonna say, uh,

538
00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:06.760
we're talking about the bigs Kansas big
struggle that Ku is minus eleven in the

539
00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:10.320
glass and gave up sixteen offensive rebounds. Hunter Dickinson finished with a pedestrian line.

540
00:37:10.639 --> 00:37:15.320
Nice use of a verb there.
Of ten points and six rebounds,

541
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:17.360
he took just seven shotsman in foul
trouble throughout the night, though he did

542
00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:21.360
manage to still play thirty minutes Kju
Adams had a couple of big dunks and

543
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:25.239
scored eleven points, but only having
three rebounds of fore man hurt Kansas as

544
00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:29.039
a foreman hurt Kansas in this matchup. Kansas with Adams is five for eight

545
00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:32.480
in thirty five minutes. Yeah,
your fore man can't give you three rebounds.

546
00:37:32.519 --> 00:37:36.800
If the fore man's not gonna shoot
Threese and the fore man's not gonna

547
00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:44.360
rebound, he can't play that much. Is that wrong? That's you know,

548
00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:47.320
that's a decent point. Adams has
done a lot of great things there

549
00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:52.559
didn't play for him. But yeah, no, you absolutely can sit kJ

550
00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:55.559
Adams on the bench a little bit
and play your wings. Go four out,

551
00:37:55.880 --> 00:38:00.519
put Dickinson in the middle and put
Harris Jackson, Furfey and mccolor out

552
00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:05.280
there. I'm not saying that ever, are arguing for Almarco Jackson to be

553
00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:07.440
on the floor instead of kJ Adams. Yeah, maybe, But again in

554
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:12.239
this matchup, kJ was neutralized.
They had a lot of size Cincinnati did.

555
00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:15.159
I'm not saying to do that every
time specifically. Yeah, I mean,

556
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:19.760
I like kJ has been great this
year and and we're probably over analyzing

557
00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:22.440
this. Dickinson was dealing with a
tough matchup. Everyone on Twitter was like,

558
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:24.599
they can't get a rebound. Yes, Cincinnati is very good at that.

559
00:38:24.679 --> 00:38:29.679
They're a top eight rebounding team or
something like that is what they do.

560
00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:32.199
But yeah, it was comprising to
see Dickinson held by by that many

561
00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:37.159
and if Adams you know, I
I like kJ Adams. I think he's

562
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:39.840
a great player. Uh he's electric
with with how he throws down dunks.

563
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:45.079
But it's it's they're going to be
limitations from a four man not being able

564
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:49.199
to shoot. We've seen kJ Adams
being way out on the perimeter and that

565
00:38:49.400 --> 00:38:52.360
that man just double teams Hunter Dickinson
because he knows that kJ is not gonna

566
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:54.880
pull the trigger from out there.
That's gonna be the case. You're gonna

567
00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:59.000
you're gonna run into some problems when
you play the taller teams. Have you.

568
00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:02.519
This is probably just being really picky, but seems like kJ Adams kind

569
00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:06.639
of approach to like layups, he
kind of just throws the ball up against

570
00:39:06.639 --> 00:39:08.320
the glass, like when it's not
dunks, you know what I mean.

571
00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:12.599
Like he's so athletic, he gets
to the rim and somehow gets a shot

572
00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:15.880
up, but it seems like a
lot of times like he's not soft off

573
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:17.639
the glass and the ball kind of
bounces off and that's why he misses a

574
00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:22.400
lot of layups. It seems like
that. But his I mean, he

575
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:24.800
is shooting sixty two percent from the
four I know a lot of it's dung

576
00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:30.000
sixty four percent from the four g's. But yeah, the Kawhi Leonard effect

577
00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:34.519
where his hands are so big that
he looks like he shoots the ball weird.

578
00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:37.840
I think that touch is a weird
things, where like he's so athletic

579
00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:42.039
and so strong that he doesn't like
he doesn't have that natural gracefulness that a

580
00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:45.440
lot of people do. And that
should make you appreciate Hunter Dickinson who has

581
00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:50.360
incredible touch and can loft it up
there. And I'm expecting everything to be

582
00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:54.480
a switch. Yeah. Sure,
touch is a is a skill that There

583
00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:58.000
are plenty of tall people out that
that play basketball. Not all of them

584
00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:00.840
have touch, and kJ can dunk
great, but yeah, I'm with you,

585
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:04.880
the touch needs to be a little
bit better. I think Travis Kelcey

586
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:07.519
was not there. That was disappointing. He was supposed to be. Apparently

587
00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:10.960
they got into Casey really late after
the playoff game the night before. They

588
00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:15.480
didn't get until the next morning,
so he was Nick was correct with the

589
00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:21.119
talking about how he and Taylor's left
had the custom jackets or whatever. Travis

590
00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:22.280
Kelsey at least was supposed to be
in the building. Yeah, that was

591
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:27.760
talked about everybody else, Nick Timberlake, not Nick Wipert did nothing in two

592
00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:30.760
minutes, Jamary McDowell did nothing in
two minutes, Parker Brown did nothing in

593
00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:36.079
ten minutes, and al Marco Jackson
hit two garbage free throws and nothing else

594
00:40:36.119 --> 00:40:39.119
in thirteen minutes. Bench bad.
We talked about that somebody on that and

595
00:40:39.199 --> 00:40:44.159
that group before has to make a
shot or two. Geez, well,

596
00:40:44.159 --> 00:40:45.840
it's not gonna be McDowell because self
refuses to play him for very long,

597
00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:51.800
which might be fair he's not been
like superstellar in his very limited time.

598
00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:57.480
I want you guys to tell me
how many shot attempts does al Marco Jackson

599
00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:05.760
have in Big twelve play. I'm
gonna go with like eleven, Nick,

600
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:07.760
Yeah, how many times? Is
m yep? Ten? Three for ten?

601
00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:12.679
Uh three threes? He hasn't made
one. His next three pointer in

602
00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:15.840
conference play will be his first in
conference play. McDonald's All American. Almarco

603
00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:22.920
Jackson has ten baskets or sorry,
ten shots, three baskets and eleven fouls.

604
00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:27.800
If you puts it on my grid, No, that's horrible. You

605
00:41:27.840 --> 00:41:31.280
can't have eleven fouls, five turnovers
and three baskets, Like that's a problem.

606
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:35.199
Shoot the ball. And I don't
really know if I want him shooting

607
00:41:35.199 --> 00:41:37.960
because he can't shoot. Maybe,
like, I don't know what you'd let

608
00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:44.480
him play the point two? Try
to agree with that? And well,

609
00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:50.039
no, Kansas Bill self already has
his point guard set up to play ninety

610
00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:52.719
percent of minute like Noah, And
I'm I'm just kind of beating the bang

611
00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:55.000
in the drum at this point with
the one Harris, who I think is

612
00:41:55.039 --> 00:42:00.440
a fabulous point guard, but the
weaknesses have showed a little bit in the

613
00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:04.440
last few games, and it's hard
to defend playing a guy that that thirty

614
00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:07.360
six minutes a night, that is
really gonna give you less than three baskets

615
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:12.519
a night. He's got you.
I think he's better than Almarco. I

616
00:42:12.559 --> 00:42:15.199
think he's better than Almarco too,
but I think Almarco might be a little

617
00:42:15.199 --> 00:42:20.320
bit more versatile. He might be
more dynamic. I don't know. Welcome

618
00:42:20.360 --> 00:42:22.480
to the one victory show that feels
like a lost show, everybody. Hey,

619
00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:25.880
the one. We'll have a few
of those that you weren't on the

620
00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:30.000
Eastern Illinois or the um k C
shows that Nick and I did. Sir,

621
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:34.920
this is our third, Thank you
very much. KU shot forty six

622
00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:37.159
percent from the floor forty three percent
from three, which is great till you

623
00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:42.559
see they only shot fourteen of them
shoot the ball and seventy one percent from

624
00:42:42.599 --> 00:42:45.920
the line. They were a very
bad minus eleven on the last and they

625
00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:49.519
only had eleven turnovers, which have
been fine since the first two games of

626
00:42:49.559 --> 00:42:52.760
the season. You know, I
wish they'd had that UCF game back.

627
00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:54.760
I think that that'd go a little
differently, even though is it UCF like

628
00:42:54.840 --> 00:42:58.519
three and three? You see it's
pretty good what I'm about. There you

629
00:42:58.519 --> 00:43:04.800
go, we can talk about final
thoughts. A totally acceptable win against a

630
00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:07.400
feisty Cincinnati team. I don't think
there's like anything to worry about. Yeah,

631
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:10.880
this was not the flashiest game.
This happens literally every season, multiple

632
00:43:10.880 --> 00:43:14.519
times a season. I wouldn't worry
about this at all. I think this

633
00:43:14.559 --> 00:43:16.679
is still a good team, even
though I do think they genuinely have a

634
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:23.119
somewhat lower ceiling than some other K
teams. Points from the starters this season

635
00:43:23.679 --> 00:43:28.119
or from conference play, fifty two
from the bench, that's your stat to

636
00:43:28.119 --> 00:43:30.719
look for. I think that that's
a big concern. This is why this

637
00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:32.239
team's not going to make it out
of the second weekend in the nca Tournament.

638
00:43:32.960 --> 00:43:37.559
No, no, no depth.
God, I cannot believe that it's

639
00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:39.840
fifty two. I thought it'd be
way lower than that. We're in the

640
00:43:39.880 --> 00:43:45.360
world. Of those fifty two coming
from it's mostly from Johnny Furfey when he

641
00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:47.960
was not starting with Marc Jaft.
That's why. That's why, Yeah,

642
00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:58.199
you're right point and like five in
the other games and thirty seven points none

643
00:43:58.280 --> 00:44:00.880
Johnny for fur Fey, thirty seven
bitch points. I Christian Brown made a

644
00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:06.519
three in Orlando, and I can't
remember anything else. McDowell. I don't

645
00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:09.760
think a scored in conference play.
Yeah, that's that's sad. Well,

646
00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:13.519
all right, that's it is what
it is. I guess. Well,

647
00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:22.280
Arrow's pointing up big twelve games.
Well we begin with the Cougar Bowl.

648
00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:24.239
There's gotta be some sort of joke
in there, but instead I'm just gonna

649
00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:29.519
beat the score. There you go. I was thinking that number four Houston

650
00:44:29.679 --> 00:44:35.199
seventy five, number twenty one BYU
sixty eight Land, and tell me about

651
00:44:35.239 --> 00:44:40.320
how the Red Cougars beat the White
Cougars. The Cougars, the Red Ones.

652
00:44:40.440 --> 00:44:44.960
They finally got a big twelve one
win against Interesting. You called them

653
00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:46.480
the White Cougars, right, and
I wonder what reason that's for. As

654
00:44:46.519 --> 00:44:51.760
they ended this game on a seven
to zh run after things were tied at

655
00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:55.079
sixty eight the two minutes left,
LJ Crime made five threes and scored twenty

656
00:44:55.079 --> 00:45:00.880
three points. Jamal Sheed added sixteen
of his own Houston Now to seventy eight

657
00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:07.280
percent to win an Allen Field House
for ESPN. Because ESPN covering big Monday

658
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:09.360
and a lot of Saturday games for
the Jayhawks, apparently he has never actually

659
00:45:09.400 --> 00:45:14.840
watched Kansas play in Allen Field House
before. And they might lose. They

660
00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:17.119
might lose to Houston. Houston's very
good. That's not gonna be an easy

661
00:45:17.159 --> 00:45:22.400
game. Kansas's win percentage is not
ninety nine like it is in most home

662
00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:25.159
games. But is it twenty two? Oh my gosh, No, there's

663
00:45:25.159 --> 00:45:28.840
a reason the sports books aren't going
to give you five to one odds on

664
00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:32.920
Kansas to win that game. BYU
has maybe gotten the worst whistle of any

665
00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:36.800
Big Toll team this year, which
would really be saying something because it's a

666
00:45:36.840 --> 00:45:40.920
pretty atrocious whistle everywhere in the Big
Twelve. They've lost four Big Twelve games.

667
00:45:42.199 --> 00:45:45.920
They went from two to three to
four to five in the net and

668
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:50.920
Nick says there's a very specific reason
for that. They just like to share

669
00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:53.639
what that reason is. Nick thinks
that we have a little bit of an

670
00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:58.840
issue with and Big Twelve land.
Maybe we should get that looked at.

671
00:45:59.159 --> 00:46:04.199
Hugh's thing's deep des like to watch
someone that looks like them play be so.

672
00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:09.280
Ken Baum thinks that Houston is so
good on defense that they have the

673
00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:15.039
best adjusted defensive efficiency, which is
points allowed per one hundred possessions. Anything

674
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:21.000
under one hundred is good, anything
under ninety is absurd. Houston is at

675
00:46:21.039 --> 00:46:25.280
eighty five point five, which is
six full percentage points better than the second

676
00:46:25.320 --> 00:46:30.679
best team, Tennessee, who is
second, is closer to being thirtieth than

677
00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:35.519
they are first. That's how far
and away they think Houston is. But

678
00:46:35.679 --> 00:46:37.639
the strength of schedule we've seen in
you know that, I guess, yeah,

679
00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:40.239
kind of a little bit. Houston
was really good in this game.

680
00:46:40.239 --> 00:46:44.440
They could have lost it. They
blew a big lead, the environment was

681
00:46:44.519 --> 00:46:47.880
loud. They responded, well,
I think that it's Kansas, Houston,

682
00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:52.320
and Baylor in this league. I
think Houston's a little better than Baylor,

683
00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:54.719
but I trust Baylor a little more
over the grind of the whole thing.

684
00:46:55.039 --> 00:46:58.760
We'll see what happens. But at
this point we think those are the three

685
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:04.800
best teams, right, Yeah,
I definitely think so. UCF seventy two,

686
00:47:04.880 --> 00:47:07.119
West Virginia ninety one, just kidding, that's how many they scored against

687
00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:13.599
Kansas. They scored way less than
that. UCF seventy two West Virginia fifty

688
00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:21.320
nine, Now that's more like it. Nick, Yeah, gosh, why

689
00:47:21.679 --> 00:47:23.639
why did they lose to this team? How do they allow the West Virginia

690
00:47:23.639 --> 00:47:28.119
to score ninety five freaking points?
They did make eleven threes, but they

691
00:47:28.119 --> 00:47:30.920
made just ten two's, and they
scored thirty two fewer points and they did

692
00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:34.880
against Kansas. Remember how good raycon
Battle was Ryan, Remember how great he

693
00:47:34.960 --> 00:47:37.880
was, Remember how many shots he
is Kansas? He scored five in this

694
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:39.519
game. Do you see f as
three and three? Though we thought they'd

695
00:47:39.519 --> 00:47:43.920
go three and fifteen. So at
least one of the teams that BILL lost

696
00:47:43.960 --> 00:47:46.519
to earlyan conference played got a win
against one of the team's BILL lost to

697
00:47:46.599 --> 00:47:52.719
in conference play this season. I
think that's ub double. So glad they're

698
00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:54.639
gonna finish thirteenth and fourteenth. Oh
sorry, I for thought about Oklahoma State

699
00:47:54.719 --> 00:47:59.079
twelve and thirteenth in the conference this
year. I don't know. You think

700
00:47:59.079 --> 00:48:01.440
you see F's gonna finish bottom three. I don't know. They might sneak

701
00:48:01.480 --> 00:48:06.599
into the You sef my win six
or seven games? They're bad, too

702
00:48:06.639 --> 00:48:08.360
fair. I think most of the
teams in the Big twelve will win six

703
00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:14.760
games at least. I think there's
two that. Honestly, I think there's

704
00:48:14.880 --> 00:48:19.400
one that won't win at least six. Oklahoma State will not win six.

705
00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:22.719
Yeah, I think that's the only
one. Yeah, everyone else really might.

706
00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:28.599
Yeah, UCF three and three is
amazing. I think we would have

707
00:48:28.639 --> 00:48:30.480
taken an under on four and a
half at the beginning of the year and

708
00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:35.000
felt pretty good about it. And
they're probably gonna get to five. They

709
00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:38.119
are probably gonna get to five.
Texas seventy five, number eleven, Oklahoma

710
00:48:38.199 --> 00:48:40.880
sixty. I'm glad I'm reading this
one because I told you guys not to

711
00:48:40.920 --> 00:48:45.719
put any stock in Porter Moser because
he sucks. Oklahoma was blown out in

712
00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:50.679
the second half to an underwhelming but
talented Texas squad, flipping a one point

713
00:48:50.679 --> 00:48:54.000
halftime advantage into a fifteen point l
at home in the worst home court advantage

714
00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:59.480
in the Big Twelve. Texas got
twenty two points from Max Asmis Dylan to

715
00:48:59.519 --> 00:49:01.920
Sue and Dylan and Mitchell combined for
twenty seven and twenty three. How is

716
00:49:01.960 --> 00:49:07.239
this team not better than they are? That is the eternal question with the

717
00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:12.199
Longhorns. Yeah, well the answer
is because Rodney Terry Potter. But Oklahoma,

718
00:49:12.320 --> 00:49:14.960
this is more about them, because
you know this was their chance that

719
00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:17.440
I told you guys a couple shows
ago that they don't have the horses to

720
00:49:17.480 --> 00:49:21.480
complete with the bigs in this conference. It ain't gonna work when you play

721
00:49:21.559 --> 00:49:23.599
Kansas and Baylor and Texas and Houston. And we saw it here. They

722
00:49:23.639 --> 00:49:28.599
weren't competitive in the second half.
Oklahoma did not shoot forty percent from the

723
00:49:28.599 --> 00:49:31.159
floor, and their bigs got shredded. They're gonna go eight and ten,

724
00:49:31.440 --> 00:49:36.159
and we're gonna be like, can
you believe? Seth Greenberg is gonna be

725
00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:38.800
like, I just can't believe that
they left Oklahoma out of the tournament.

726
00:49:38.840 --> 00:49:43.239
They got like a whole bunch of
mediocre wins on their schedule, and no

727
00:49:43.239 --> 00:49:45.880
one's gonna miss Oklahoma because no one
wants to watch them lose to a seventh

728
00:49:45.880 --> 00:49:51.920
seed in the NCAA tournament. Yeah, no complaints for me. They will

729
00:49:52.159 --> 00:49:54.440
be exactly like, I don't know
what the record would be, like eighteen

730
00:49:54.480 --> 00:49:58.079
and thirteen or something. Yeah,
the end of the year, they're probably

731
00:49:58.079 --> 00:50:00.199
a little better than that. They'll
need to win two twelve tournament games.

732
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:05.559
They'll win one and they'll play Kansas
or Houston kind of close and will be

733
00:50:05.639 --> 00:50:07.880
like is that enough? We'll have
to wait and see. Every year,

734
00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:12.079
it's the same thing with them.
They're not They're not fun to watch.

735
00:50:12.320 --> 00:50:15.440
They are my least favorite Big twelve
team because I I cannot think of one

736
00:50:15.559 --> 00:50:21.599
interesting thing they've ever done. Since
Buddy Healed was there, they have always

737
00:50:21.599 --> 00:50:24.679
been my least favorite too, but
at least West Virginia feels like they win

738
00:50:25.079 --> 00:50:30.880
big games sometimes. Can you think
of any name five Oklahoma players since Trey

739
00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:38.480
Young left? Go ten seconds?
Uh? The enemy's nephew, Gves.

740
00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:43.519
Oh that's not fair, that's count
the guy with the long hair, the

741
00:50:43.880 --> 00:50:46.559
dude, the guy. The guy
with the long hair is perfect for the

742
00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:52.880
because oh, I thought you're talking
about Austin Reeves, who's actually good.

743
00:50:52.119 --> 00:51:00.599
I was, I was talking about
the guy a woman Cortes. Yeah,

744
00:51:00.639 --> 00:51:06.960
sorry, Yeah, that's that's Oklahoma. They're freaking boring, and I can't

745
00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:08.440
I don't care about them. I
can't wait for them to leave the Big

746
00:51:08.440 --> 00:51:13.920
twelve. It's fun when Texas loses. When Oklahoma loses, no one looks

747
00:51:13.960 --> 00:51:19.320
up from their newspaper. TCU seventy
four, Oklahoma State sixty nine. Hey,

748
00:51:19.800 --> 00:51:22.400
same score as the Kansas game,
but a little less interesting. Somehow,

749
00:51:23.079 --> 00:51:27.199
tc controlled the second half and they're
losing skid as Emanuel Miller had twenty

750
00:51:27.199 --> 00:51:30.679
one and eleven. Bryce Thompson went
one for five from three because he was

751
00:51:30.760 --> 00:51:32.559
not playing Kansas, the only team
he's allowed to make more than three threes

752
00:51:32.559 --> 00:51:36.440
against. Yeah, he gets up
for the big games set. His coach

753
00:51:36.480 --> 00:51:40.400
in my Twitter mentions once nothing interesting
about Oklahoma State or their box score.

754
00:51:40.440 --> 00:51:44.679
They're ower and six. They're much
worse than we thought. Are they really

755
00:51:44.719 --> 00:51:47.360
gonna let Mike Boyton coach the rest
of this season? Yeah? I mean,

756
00:51:47.440 --> 00:51:51.360
am I why? Yeah? They
should try? They should try somebody

757
00:51:51.360 --> 00:51:53.800
else. It's it's clearly over at
this point. It is disgraceful. How

758
00:51:53.800 --> 00:51:58.760
empty that good home court arena is. It sucks. This game was pretty

759
00:51:58.760 --> 00:52:00.239
good, though. This game is
a much better environment. Number twenty three

760
00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:05.639
Iowa State seventy eight, Kansas State
sixty seven. Nick, tell me about

761
00:52:05.639 --> 00:52:09.039
a good game that shockingly was influenced
by the refs. I'm so excited to

762
00:52:09.159 --> 00:52:13.760
tick to read the name at the
end of this first paragraph. For mcgeddon

763
00:52:13.960 --> 00:52:16.800
case State played well in offense,
but they were outrebattered by thirteen and couldn't

764
00:52:16.800 --> 00:52:22.440
get stops down the stretch. Iowa
State got nineteen for Milan Mom silovik Uh

765
00:52:24.400 --> 00:52:29.679
taped timin Lipsey returned her shoulder injury, but he struggled, going just two

766
00:52:29.719 --> 00:52:34.480
for ten for the floor. This
game had forty seven fouls called oh Mike,

767
00:52:35.360 --> 00:52:39.480
Kansas State. Oh, but at
least the yelling into the microphone and

768
00:52:39.519 --> 00:52:45.239
talk about their how they screwed up
the call. Oh my gosh god.

769
00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:49.360
Someone on Twitter said, at like
eight o six pm when this game started

770
00:52:49.400 --> 00:52:52.920
at eight they were like, they've
already called seven fouls and we're not even

771
00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:55.199
at the first TV timeout yet.
I'm like, Oh, it's gonna be

772
00:52:55.239 --> 00:52:59.719
one of those nights where they looked
themselves in the mirror before the game and

773
00:52:59.760 --> 00:53:06.719
said it's showtime and they called forty
seven fouls in forty minutes. I'm gonna

774
00:53:06.719 --> 00:53:08.840
have to watch Kansas and Iowa State
play when I am on an airplane,

775
00:53:09.079 --> 00:53:15.320
and it feels like the games at
Hilton are always just ungodly poorly officiated.

776
00:53:15.400 --> 00:53:17.559
So that'll be that'll be fun.
The game will take four hours because of

777
00:53:17.719 --> 00:53:22.239
rob Ryan's going to one of the
two places he's allowed to go within the

778
00:53:22.320 --> 00:53:25.960
United States, Branson or Orlando.
So if you're in Orlando this time,

779
00:53:27.840 --> 00:53:32.719
and here's a hint with those places, but it's not as wide as Utah.

780
00:53:32.840 --> 00:53:37.760
But you know, here's here's a
hint. Guys, it's let's see

781
00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:40.199
if you can guess it. Uh, the city I'm going to. I

782
00:53:40.239 --> 00:53:44.280
feel like I'm like Miss Frizzle back
in the Magic School Bus. You gotta

783
00:53:44.280 --> 00:53:47.440
find me it is. A bill
has lost in this city this year?

784
00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:55.960
Well, Morgantown. We're taking a
family vacation to either going to Honolulu,

785
00:53:57.280 --> 00:54:00.559
as I say, Maui or Honolulu. Morgantown or Orlando. You want to

786
00:54:00.599 --> 00:54:05.840
talk about each one? Very different, very different in terms of luxury from

787
00:54:05.920 --> 00:54:09.719
each other. Like Orlando is not
as good as Honolulu, but boy it

788
00:54:09.840 --> 00:54:15.159
is like the rich Carlton all over
the place compared to a coal mining Morgantown,

789
00:54:15.199 --> 00:54:19.400
West Virginia. Yeah, we'll never
go there. What's the worst big

790
00:54:19.480 --> 00:54:22.840
twelve town to vacation in? Uh, only been to like two of them,

791
00:54:23.119 --> 00:54:30.119
It doesn't It seems like Morgantown has
mountains though like that, I would

792
00:54:30.199 --> 00:54:37.400
think you really think Morgantown is less
fun than ames Iowa. I don't know.

793
00:54:38.360 --> 00:54:43.920
Manhattan's pretty far at the bottom.
Things to do in ames Iowa the

794
00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:45.800
very first, there's nothing. I
went there for the football game this year,

795
00:54:45.800 --> 00:54:50.920
there's nothing there. They're down literally
more than you might not. Like

796
00:54:51.000 --> 00:54:55.000
Waco, they have a smaller downtown
than Iowa. If you google things to

797
00:54:55.039 --> 00:55:00.719
do in Ames, the first thing
after Iowa State University is the cow pool

798
00:55:00.920 --> 00:55:06.400
is very Iowa so and it's you
can only swim in it for two months

799
00:55:06.400 --> 00:55:15.079
a year because Okay, it's in
Iowa not Saskatchewan. Well, I think

800
00:55:15.159 --> 00:55:19.599
I think it's Iowa State and Manhattan
are probably and Lawrence is an exactly great

801
00:55:19.639 --> 00:55:22.519
tay Hey. If you look on
trip Advisor, the third best thing to

802
00:55:22.559 --> 00:55:27.440
do in Ames, Iowa is to
go to Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church.

803
00:55:30.239 --> 00:55:35.159
I'm gonna say that the first one
total. The stadium is great, but

804
00:55:35.199 --> 00:55:38.800
the city is big. Twelve standings
in first place alone. I don't know

805
00:55:38.800 --> 00:55:43.119
how this is possible because they have
played one last game. Probably is Texas

806
00:55:43.159 --> 00:55:46.960
Tech. They're four and one,
tied for second place all of the Pharmageddon

807
00:55:46.960 --> 00:55:52.280
schools and Houston, Kansas, cay
State, Iowa State and Houston four and

808
00:55:52.320 --> 00:55:59.480
two. In the sixth place is
Baylor, seventh place, TCU, Oklahoma

809
00:55:59.679 --> 00:56:04.400
Texas in Central Florida. What a
list? That is three and three the

810
00:56:04.400 --> 00:56:08.000
big money schools and the private.
I guess UCF has like eighty thousand people

811
00:56:08.079 --> 00:56:13.440
enrolled in it. Whatever. I
mixed bag in eleventh place, b YU,

812
00:56:13.559 --> 00:56:17.679
West Virginia, Cincinnati all two and
four and in the cellar down in

813
00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:22.639
fourteenth. How does this guy still
have a job? Remember when the Oklahoma

814
00:56:22.679 --> 00:56:25.039
State athletic director defended Mike point and
when they should have gotten NCAA when they

815
00:56:25.079 --> 00:56:30.320
got an NCAA band. Can we
please give them a band to not play

816
00:56:30.320 --> 00:56:35.880
another game this season? Please?
Please? That's the official drop of Oklahoma

817
00:56:35.880 --> 00:56:42.800
State basketball. Other games the ACC, speaking of it, continues to be

818
00:56:42.880 --> 00:56:45.960
the most boring league in the country. Wow, that is just a disgusting

819
00:56:45.320 --> 00:56:49.000
sound. The more I think about
that, that is that sounds really bad.

820
00:56:49.559 --> 00:56:52.679
That that poor that poor person.
I'm a sit Is it real?

821
00:56:52.760 --> 00:56:57.800
You think it's gotta be real?
So? Oh, that poor person,

822
00:56:58.400 --> 00:57:01.960
That's basically what he was he was
watching the ACC. I bet other than

823
00:57:01.960 --> 00:57:06.239
North Carolina they're good. Their third
ranked team in the country. They're two

824
00:57:06.280 --> 00:57:08.599
full games up on their field and
their conference. By rolling Wake Forest,

825
00:57:08.639 --> 00:57:12.519
which should not count, to win
nine in a row. Number twelve,

826
00:57:12.599 --> 00:57:16.239
Duke continued a cupcake schedule by squashing
Louisville on the road, which your probably

827
00:57:16.320 --> 00:57:21.320
Sunrise Christian Academy could do, while
Forest State sits in between the two blue

828
00:57:21.320 --> 00:57:23.400
bloods in second place. Land and
give me a little more insight on the

829
00:57:23.480 --> 00:57:27.519
Duke schedule. It's good, right, it's gotta be good. Yeah,

830
00:57:27.519 --> 00:57:30.519
it's pretty good. And their twenty
game league schedule. Duke's gonna get two

831
00:57:30.599 --> 00:57:34.639
games against the Notre Dame, who
definitely doesn't suck. Don't even look,

832
00:57:34.760 --> 00:57:37.679
just just trust me, they don't
suck at all, two games against horrible

833
00:57:37.719 --> 00:57:40.800
Louisville, who unfortunately sucks, and
they do suck. Two games against Pitt,

834
00:57:40.800 --> 00:57:45.119
who is not as horrible as Louisville
Notre Dame to be fair, Oh

835
00:57:45.119 --> 00:57:47.960
stop it there, They're not as
bad as Notre Dame in Louisville total and

836
00:57:50.000 --> 00:57:53.280
no one is. But no,
they're not that bad a way force who

837
00:57:53.280 --> 00:57:59.559
I genuinely, genuinely couldn't tell you
anything about. I have no idea.

838
00:58:00.599 --> 00:58:04.199
How are they a division? How
are they a power five school? Yeah,

839
00:58:04.320 --> 00:58:08.239
that's great question here. So Pitt
this year lost to Missouri, who

840
00:58:08.320 --> 00:58:15.079
is absolutely atrocious, and they've lost
to Syracuse twice. You lose to Syracuse

841
00:58:15.119 --> 00:58:19.519
in twenty twenty four, twice.
You should get a five year instaman because

842
00:58:19.519 --> 00:58:22.480
they are I think Syracuse. I
think Syracuse is up a little bit this

843
00:58:22.559 --> 00:58:24.800
year. Now, you shouldn't lose
to him twice. But that's that's fair.

844
00:58:24.920 --> 00:58:29.199
Kyle Cuff must be bawling out there. Two fear. Syracuse also lost

845
00:58:29.199 --> 00:58:34.440
to North Carolina by like almost forty
So yeah, that's that's that's true.

846
00:58:34.559 --> 00:58:37.119
But Nick, there is that they
might not be good. But there is

847
00:58:37.159 --> 00:58:43.559
one ACC team that we enjoy talking
about. Yeah, in Louisville Cardinals.

848
00:58:43.559 --> 00:58:45.719
In case you've forgotten about how they
bad they are. They've won once since

849
00:58:45.760 --> 00:58:50.239
December seventeenth, and that was a
stunning road win at Miami. They're one

850
00:58:50.280 --> 00:58:54.639
and seven league play in six and
thirteen overall. God bless that seam was

851
00:58:54.679 --> 00:59:00.199
good man. They were ranked ten
the day the COVID cancelation came down in

852
00:59:00.239 --> 00:59:04.960
the NCAA tournament. And and I
know that that aged people fifty years,

853
00:59:04.960 --> 00:59:07.239
but that does not seem that long
ago. For being honest, I've win

854
00:59:07.280 --> 00:59:13.440
a national championship in my life.
Well well though, yeah kind of.

855
00:59:15.400 --> 00:59:21.559
I watched Michigan lose a national championship. Yeah, oh yeah, I remember

856
00:59:21.559 --> 00:59:24.079
that. Yeah, that's that that
that. No, it's gonna make him.

857
00:59:24.079 --> 00:59:28.159
No, just not gonna do that. Number two Purdue squashed Michigan by

858
00:59:28.280 --> 00:59:31.000
thirty two points, reaching seven and
two in Big Ten play. They are

859
00:59:31.039 --> 00:59:35.559
a half game in front of number
thirteen Wisconsin in the race who survived.

860
00:59:35.719 --> 00:59:37.639
Oh god, okay, fine,
hold on, I should have this on

861
00:59:37.679 --> 00:59:44.440
the board by now. But does
anybody actually think that that will last?

862
00:59:45.079 --> 00:59:49.320
Which is Wisconsin being in front of
Purdue? No? Right, no,

863
00:59:49.320 --> 00:59:52.840
no chance. Uh. Then there's
number ten Illinois, who lost in overtime

864
00:59:52.880 --> 00:59:58.280
in Northwestern as the Wildcat students chanted
no means no at Terrence Shannon every time

865
00:59:58.360 --> 01:00:04.360
he was at the free throw line. Brad Underwood and really funny, it

866
01:00:04.440 --> 01:00:07.320
was great. Yep, that's what
you should hear. Brad Underwood was asked

867
01:00:07.320 --> 01:00:09.039
after the game about how he handled
it, and he said, quote,

868
01:00:09.119 --> 01:00:14.599
Hey, he's just there to play
basketball. Somebody's got great priorities up in

869
01:00:14.719 --> 01:00:20.000
Champagne, Illinois. Ass All college
basketball coaches are the most pure human beings

870
01:00:20.000 --> 01:00:25.920
still ever meet. Hey, especially
without these bills to us no problems there

871
01:00:27.079 --> 01:00:30.400
pretty much the most pure. Speaking
of purity, Chris Beard's conference the SEC.

872
01:00:30.440 --> 01:00:35.039
It was a tough week at the
top of that. South Carolina surprisingly

873
01:00:35.119 --> 01:00:38.800
ruled Number six Kentucky seventy nine to
sixty two. Nice cocks bearing the Wildcats

874
01:00:38.800 --> 01:00:45.320
with eleven thirties. Number eight Alburn
aust lost the first league game seventy nine

875
01:00:45.320 --> 01:00:49.480
to seventy five at Alabama. Call
that hey, super entertaining contest. The

876
01:00:49.519 --> 01:00:52.960
Crimson Tide have the number one offense
in the country per kin Pom, despite

877
01:00:53.000 --> 01:00:58.159
just being thirteen and six. They
also have the number one No, I'm

878
01:00:58.199 --> 01:01:05.679
not gonna make a joke about that
in the wrong place at the wrong time.

879
01:01:07.639 --> 01:01:10.920
Aladema Auburn. Yeah, the number
one person at the crime scene.

880
01:01:12.000 --> 01:01:15.320
Aladema Auburn and number five Tennessee,
who had the week off, are the

881
01:01:15.400 --> 01:01:20.440
conference's only one last teams. I'm
so tired how many times on this podcast

882
01:01:20.480 --> 01:01:22.480
have we said I think Kentucky's the
best team in the SEC, and they

883
01:01:22.760 --> 01:01:27.639
never wind up doing Diddley squat.
I don't think anyone is the best team

884
01:01:27.679 --> 01:01:30.360
in the SEC. I think the
answer is Tennessee. But they will not

885
01:01:30.360 --> 01:01:34.679
go very far in the tournament because
Rick Barnes, Yeah, that has what

886
01:01:34.800 --> 01:01:37.480
history has shown out. They're gonna
win the league and they'll lose as yeah,

887
01:01:37.519 --> 01:01:40.920
they'll lose to a seventh seed.
I've seen it. Number fourteen Marquette

888
01:01:42.119 --> 01:01:46.000
DePaul, which shouldn't count. They're
three and sixteen. They are actually the

889
01:01:46.000 --> 01:01:50.719
worst team in Power five. I
think, yeah, it's Power six,

890
01:01:50.760 --> 01:01:52.840
isn't it now? Power six?
Sorry, football had tradition me to say

891
01:01:52.840 --> 01:01:55.840
power five, who has the Paul
beat? Which is true anymore? Now

892
01:01:55.840 --> 01:02:00.199
it's Power four even there. DePaul
lost the Purdue opening night. That's pretty

893
01:02:00.239 --> 01:02:04.840
bad. Oh wait, it's Poor
Due, it's Perdue Fort Wayne. Never

894
01:02:04.880 --> 01:02:09.320
mind, it's much worse South Dakota. They beat Louisville. Louisville and Chicago

895
01:02:09.440 --> 01:02:14.199
State are the only two games they've
won since Thanksgiving. They had a three

896
01:02:14.239 --> 01:02:16.960
game stretch of losing the Creighton eighty
four to fifty eight, Villanova ninety four

897
01:02:17.000 --> 01:02:22.719
to sixty nine, in Providence one
hundred to sixty two. Who that's uh

898
01:02:22.800 --> 01:02:24.199
yeah, I'm seeing that. That's
a lot of points. They played Butler

899
01:02:24.280 --> 01:02:29.840
and Marquette closer. But yeah,
they lost to Northern Illinois. That's not

900
01:02:29.960 --> 01:02:32.760
good. That's I know one team
that didn't, but they may as well

901
01:02:32.800 --> 01:02:37.280
did. Uh. Oh, Nick
has answered my question. I wrote Detroit

902
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:39.239
Mercy is oh and twenty. They're
oh and nine in league play. But

903
01:02:39.280 --> 01:02:43.480
they played Milwaukee tonight and I was
gonna look up and see what happened.

904
01:02:43.599 --> 01:02:49.000
And if Nick is telling me the
truth, oh man. Also, yes,

905
01:02:49.320 --> 01:02:53.199
the Mountains is better than the ACC
and maybe the PAC twelve. It's

906
01:02:53.199 --> 01:02:57.760
definitely better than the PAC twelve.
PAC twelve is worse than the Acs.

907
01:02:57.840 --> 01:03:01.239
Detroit Mercy lost the heartbreaker last week
to Robert Moore. Stanley lost by three.

908
01:03:01.800 --> 01:03:06.039
They were up like fourteen in that
game, and I they made a

909
01:03:06.039 --> 01:03:08.239
fool of me because I was like
they won, because I assumed they held

910
01:03:08.239 --> 01:03:12.199
it, and then we looked a
couple of weeks later and they actually lost

911
01:03:12.239 --> 01:03:15.079
it. So I hope they never
went again. That's that's how vicious I

912
01:03:15.079 --> 01:03:22.119
did. Who did they lose to
a non Cotally Yeah thing, there you

913
01:03:22.159 --> 01:03:24.800
go, Nick, tell me some
of the highlights. Who did Detroit Mercy

914
01:03:24.840 --> 01:03:30.239
lose to a non con Detroit Mercy
lost to Ole Miss Hey, remember that

915
01:03:30.280 --> 01:03:34.159
Ole miss team is top twenty five. They beat it, Detroit Mercy by

916
01:03:34.199 --> 01:03:39.000
one. Great job, Chris Beard, great job could win. Glad you

917
01:03:39.039 --> 01:03:44.840
scheduled that game. They lost to
Ohio by nineteen Eastern Michigan, which is

918
01:03:44.880 --> 01:03:50.119
in LANDA and I believe test me
on my knowledge yipsilante or is it is

919
01:03:50.159 --> 01:03:53.400
the wife's sile whatever? Okay?
Cool? Uh? They lost the s

920
01:03:53.480 --> 01:04:00.519
I U. E. Suey by
fourteen. They lost to Oakland cam Kim

921
01:04:00.519 --> 01:04:04.360
Lippolts alma mater by fifteen. They
lost to Cleveland State by eleven, So

922
01:04:05.280 --> 01:04:09.519
that's a horrible just They are the
worst of the words. I forgot about

923
01:04:09.519 --> 01:04:15.280
the Toledo lost by thirty four.
Hey, lots of good teams lose Toledo

924
01:04:15.320 --> 01:04:21.360
by thirty four to Toledo. Great
teams to lose since the last show eternally

925
01:04:21.440 --> 01:04:25.960
here. If it's not Bill,
it's this guy number six, John Caliperi.

926
01:04:26.039 --> 01:04:29.960
Kentucky lost to South Carolina being a
Robin morrisby. Valley State is still

927
01:04:30.159 --> 01:04:35.280
Ohen nineteen as well Auburn. They
lost to the Fighting Nay Oates's number eighteen.

928
01:04:35.360 --> 01:04:41.840
Number ten Illinois lost to Northwestern.
But the guy's gonna a guy on

929
01:04:41.880 --> 01:04:47.039
their team is probably gonna lose legal
uh privileges peer pretty soon. The charges

930
01:04:47.079 --> 01:04:50.719
will probably be dropped because he's a
good athlete and we'll just go his whole

931
01:04:50.719 --> 01:04:55.239
career by being like he didn't really
do that right, look the other way.

932
01:04:55.519 --> 01:05:00.800
Number eleven Oklahoma get them out of
the top twelve Good Grief lost to

933
01:05:00.880 --> 01:05:03.119
Texas, which should get you thrown
out of the league. Number twenty one

934
01:05:03.199 --> 01:05:08.000
Kobs lost to the Koogs. Oh
I did not know one. Oh?

935
01:05:08.599 --> 01:05:12.079
Oh, now I see, okay, he was going there. Of course

936
01:05:12.119 --> 01:05:16.320
he was side quickly get out of
this. Number twenty four Colard of lost

937
01:05:16.320 --> 01:05:20.159
to Nevada. This is our last
show. No kind of state lost the

938
01:05:20.199 --> 01:05:27.199
Nevada rock Chalk Blog. Ask RCB. I don't know why, I said

939
01:05:27.239 --> 01:05:30.239
the rock Chalk Blog. I typed
it. I typed rock Chalk Blog.

940
01:05:30.800 --> 01:05:34.639
We got a lot of good questions
here today at Kim Lippo Golf, says,

941
01:05:34.719 --> 01:05:39.519
y'all need to answer my ask RCB
if twenty Joe Bidens could beat five

942
01:05:39.559 --> 01:05:43.400
Andy Reids and basketball? And I
said, we did listen to the like

943
01:05:43.440 --> 01:05:45.639
we did it later in the show
because we brought up Minnesota, and I

944
01:05:45.679 --> 01:05:49.519
said, blah blah bla blah bloh
record scratch it was five Andy Reids because

945
01:05:49.559 --> 01:05:55.119
we thought one Andy might have a
chance. Does five Andy Reids for sure

946
01:05:55.159 --> 01:06:00.400
beat twenty Joe Biden's I think so
definitively what kind of you guys? Hunter

947
01:06:00.480 --> 01:06:03.079
Dickinson can't jump? What do you
think Andy Reid's vertical is? He's not

948
01:06:03.280 --> 01:06:10.760
gonna have to jump. He's shorter
than Joe Biden. It does not matter.

949
01:06:10.800 --> 01:06:15.039
I don't think he could. Could
probably throw some elbows and eliminate some

950
01:06:15.079 --> 01:06:18.000
of those Joe's I would think.
I think Joe Biden's moving quick. Hopefully

951
01:06:18.079 --> 01:06:25.880
Joe's not. Hopefully Joe's not playing
Minnesota. I think Joe Biden would beat

952
01:06:25.920 --> 01:06:30.920
Andy Reid in a forty yard dash, probably if he didn't trip before it

953
01:06:30.000 --> 01:06:34.800
hit to thirty eight yards. Oh, come on, you absolutely think Andy

954
01:06:34.840 --> 01:06:40.480
Reid is beating anybody other than a
pet snail and a forty yard dasheen Joe

955
01:06:40.519 --> 01:06:45.159
Biden walk right. I've seen Joe
Biden. He can, He's not,

956
01:06:45.719 --> 01:06:48.679
He's not Tyreek Hill, but he
can. He's he is it, he

957
01:06:48.679 --> 01:06:53.280
can. I think he can move
faster than Andy Reid. I don't know,

958
01:06:53.320 --> 01:06:56.360
man, I don't know. We
need to see that. I'm cam.

959
01:06:56.400 --> 01:07:00.119
Who do you think wins a forty
yard sprint? Joe Biden or or

960
01:07:00.119 --> 01:07:05.280
or or Andy Reid. I like
that at dick Underscore Taser Caitlin Clark got

961
01:07:05.320 --> 01:07:09.880
t boned in a court storm,
which she kind of flopped him for being

962
01:07:09.920 --> 01:07:13.920
honest. But you know, court
storm, vote a ban it. It's

963
01:07:13.960 --> 01:07:16.079
dumb and dangerous. Be reel it
in and control it better. Maybe use

964
01:07:16.239 --> 01:07:21.400
tasers. Uh see, it's fine, my boy, have some fun and

965
01:07:21.599 --> 01:07:27.039
d even more court storming A sister
for a sister, Mary Chicken of the

966
01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:32.079
I'm fine with court storming. I
like it. I wish that everybody would

967
01:07:32.119 --> 01:07:34.719
court storm after they win a game. I think it should be a tradition.

968
01:07:34.920 --> 01:07:38.719
When Kansas beats you and KC in
game number three, I think they

969
01:07:38.719 --> 01:07:45.159
should storm the court. I think
uh, I think the amount of court

970
01:07:45.199 --> 01:07:48.199
storm we have currently is pretty good. Okay, not an old man,

971
01:07:48.280 --> 01:07:51.000
take go ahead, old man Wipper
tell me about how it's unsafe. And

972
01:07:51.039 --> 01:07:57.119
back in my day we expected to
win. Get in lines and everyone has

973
01:07:57.159 --> 01:08:03.440
their pass out as long as they've
paperwork is fine. Nig I know that

974
01:08:03.480 --> 01:08:13.159
you don't like court storms. No
coming BIG's had a heck of an arc

975
01:08:13.239 --> 01:08:16.479
on this show. He really has. No I love I love hearing your

976
01:08:16.600 --> 01:08:21.119
ms in homes that I put them. Yeah, I've taken representative of my

977
01:08:21.239 --> 01:08:26.880
views common just to get your reaction, says the guy who's like, hey,

978
01:08:26.880 --> 01:08:30.319
guys, there was some trouble for
Michigan State at Penn State this week.

979
01:08:30.359 --> 01:08:34.600
You're not gonna believe that I have
said that in a while. Yeah,

980
01:08:34.600 --> 01:08:39.439
it's been only like three weeks.
Also, Dick Taser would like to

981
01:08:39.479 --> 01:08:42.520
know if Iowa State beats Kansas,
are they going to storm the court.

982
01:08:42.720 --> 01:08:46.279
I do not believe they will.
I don't know. They've done it several

983
01:08:46.319 --> 01:08:50.439
times before, so they might not. When is the last time that Kansas

984
01:08:50.479 --> 01:08:54.800
lost a road game that did not
get court stormed? I assume which one

985
01:08:54.800 --> 01:08:59.640
of the Baylor games, probably,
I don't know, West Virginia. The

986
01:08:59.720 --> 01:09:02.960
West Virginia courtstorm was good. Yeah, they may have. I don't know.

987
01:09:03.039 --> 01:09:06.560
Maybe Rodney Terry would have probably had
an aneurysm if they did, would

988
01:09:06.600 --> 01:09:11.199
have fallen over just dead yep,
which is fine. Also, speaking of

989
01:09:11.279 --> 01:09:15.479
Rodney Terry, my favorite ASCARCB this
year. This is absolutely amazing from at

990
01:09:15.560 --> 01:09:18.439
Rock Chalk AJ who clearly knows what
he's doing here. Let me know who

991
01:09:18.479 --> 01:09:23.159
he's trying to trigger here. I've
done the math, checked the sources checked,

992
01:09:23.239 --> 01:09:27.680
Ken Palm checked Torvik, and everything
checks out. Why doesn't Rodney Terry

993
01:09:27.720 --> 01:09:31.199
wear khaki pants for every game?
He wins at a ninety five percent clip

994
01:09:31.199 --> 01:09:35.760
when wearing khaki pants this year and
last year, he's only won once wearing

995
01:09:35.840 --> 01:09:40.800
black pants. Also with a bit
more research, did you know he's undefeated

996
01:09:40.840 --> 01:09:44.399
when wearing socks with some type of
design on them? Just chalk him up

997
01:09:44.399 --> 01:09:47.079
as national champions if he gets his
ward room in check. Oh what this

998
01:09:47.000 --> 01:09:51.319
is the record wearing Harry Potter glasses? Uh, that's what Wayne Kerr says.

999
01:09:51.359 --> 01:09:55.399
Wow, you're right there. What
about the Harry Potter glasses? Wayne

1000
01:09:55.439 --> 01:09:59.319
Kerr replies to Rock Chalk AJ and
he stands on how much more punishable his

1001
01:09:59.399 --> 01:10:03.319
face is with on? And AJ
says we actually pulled one hundred people,

1002
01:10:03.359 --> 01:10:08.600
and survey says his face is punishable
with or without the glasses on? Boy,

1003
01:10:08.680 --> 01:10:11.840
you two just I'm just gonna get
out of your way. I think

1004
01:10:11.840 --> 01:10:15.119
we should all quit. And AJ
and Wane Kerr need to do this podcast.

1005
01:10:15.199 --> 01:10:19.039
They're better than us. Yeah,
that was fantastic. Anytime you can

1006
01:10:19.079 --> 01:10:21.760
trigger Nick, you are, You're
good in my book. Now, if

1007
01:10:23.199 --> 01:10:29.239
Terry takes the Gonzaga job in the
near future, be onto something then it's

1008
01:10:29.279 --> 01:10:31.680
gonna trigger all three of us equally. I don't know if you can trigger

1009
01:10:31.760 --> 01:10:34.960
land And I don't know if it's
possible. Landa's just like so eh,

1010
01:10:35.119 --> 01:10:38.640
some robber could break into his house
and be like, hey, I'm taking

1011
01:10:38.680 --> 01:10:43.680
all your stuff. He'd be like, that's fair. I am relativelyable.

1012
01:10:44.279 --> 01:10:46.199
Yeah, you can't rattle land And
I'm gonna try, though he used to.

1013
01:10:46.479 --> 01:10:48.520
But if you want to listen to
land and get triggered, let me

1014
01:10:48.560 --> 01:10:51.039
know. And I got some of
the season eight episodes. I wonder what

1015
01:10:51.079 --> 01:10:56.840
two people named Nick and Ryan maybe
have forged me in the fires of triggeredness

1016
01:10:56.840 --> 01:11:00.640
to learn how to just let things
roll off my back. Landa's gonna go

1017
01:11:00.640 --> 01:11:02.119
on his I hope this doesn't happened. But if Flanta goes on his first

1018
01:11:02.199 --> 01:11:04.279
date and the girl's like, welland
and I had a good time, but

1019
01:11:04.319 --> 01:11:08.279
I just don't think we're compatible,
and it's like, oh, that's that's

1020
01:11:08.319 --> 01:11:14.079
fair, that's fair. I thought
you. I thought you were gonna say

1021
01:11:14.079 --> 01:11:20.840
he's gonna rip his shirt off and
spike it like Wilson throw. And you

1022
01:11:20.840 --> 01:11:24.279
want to talk about Nick and Ryan
triggering. Only one of us has ever

1023
01:11:24.319 --> 01:11:27.319
asked you to do that. In
film it sir at Travius ninety nine.

1024
01:11:27.359 --> 01:11:30.399
If the one Harris must shoot more, which player on the starting five should

1025
01:11:30.399 --> 01:11:35.359
shoot less less? Watch just take
shots? That guy not fair? Okay,

1026
01:11:35.600 --> 01:11:38.680
I thought I was serious prison I
just about quit. It's like,

1027
01:11:38.720 --> 01:11:45.600
then you triggered me. I probably
No, No, all everyone else should

1028
01:11:45.640 --> 01:11:48.680
just shoot more? Yeah, play
faster. I'm I'm good with that.

1029
01:11:49.199 --> 01:11:51.920
The bench should shoot less. And
we also want them to score more.

1030
01:11:51.960 --> 01:11:56.840
So I don't know that. I
don't know if I want one to shoot

1031
01:11:56.960 --> 01:12:00.279
the game score thirty points a game. This seems doable. Well, can

1032
01:12:00.319 --> 01:12:04.239
we just say that they no,
one should the one shouldn't shoot more.

1033
01:12:04.279 --> 01:12:06.920
We just want to see him shoot
a better percentage with the ones he shoots.

1034
01:12:09.319 --> 01:12:12.520
Yeah, that's that's the take.
That's that's the way to say it.

1035
01:12:13.079 --> 01:12:15.479
Cause I know that next game he's
gonna go three for four and we're

1036
01:12:15.479 --> 01:12:16.279
gonna be like, what the hell? Why didn't he shoot more? But

1037
01:12:16.800 --> 01:12:19.159
I think as long as the one
shooting seven or eight shots per game,

1038
01:12:19.199 --> 01:12:21.920
there's plenty of ability to get everybody
else a good amount of shots too.

1039
01:12:23.079 --> 01:12:25.920
I don't need to one shooting fifteen
times. But he shouldn't take three either.

1040
01:12:26.279 --> 01:12:29.479
Also from Travius, the One is
currently averaging seven points per game.

1041
01:12:29.520 --> 01:12:31.399
If he averaged three more, he
would be an all time grade, considering

1042
01:12:31.439 --> 01:12:35.720
he is also averaging seven assists.
Is three points per game really stopping people

1043
01:12:35.800 --> 01:12:40.039
from accepting Harris as a very good
point guard? Yes, it is two

1044
01:12:40.039 --> 01:12:43.319
more baskets a game, and we're
not having any of these shots. Basketball

1045
01:12:43.359 --> 01:12:48.159
is fickle? Is that fair?
Landon? I'm used to you tell me

1046
01:12:48.199 --> 01:12:53.279
it's fair. Not everything has to
be said that it's fair. It can

1047
01:12:53.439 --> 01:12:57.600
be no at rock chalk, aj, gimme your mid season grades for the

1048
01:12:57.640 --> 01:13:01.119
main rotation players so far. Mccullor
gets a no arguments, right, yeah,

1049
01:13:01.159 --> 01:13:04.520
a plus. Dickinson has to get. I'd say an a minus for

1050
01:13:04.560 --> 01:13:08.319
Dickinson. He's doing what he's supposed
to do. There's been a couple of

1051
01:13:08.359 --> 01:13:11.960
sad moments, but still you can't
give him less than an A minus.

1052
01:13:12.039 --> 01:13:16.000
Fair? Yep uh, who's next? Furfee for what we thought? I'd

1053
01:13:16.039 --> 01:13:19.560
say Furfey gets an A minus at
this point, like maybe a B plus

1054
01:13:19.600 --> 01:13:24.439
because it took a little while adjusted
to expectations, He's definitely an A minus.

1055
01:13:24.720 --> 01:13:27.479
Okay, then just regular I think
about A B is about what you

1056
01:13:27.520 --> 01:13:30.359
do with furfee, but it's rising
quickly. Kjs a B plus. I'd

1057
01:13:30.399 --> 01:13:32.960
like to see him rebound more,
but it's really hard to argue that he

1058
01:13:33.039 --> 01:13:39.760
hasn't been successful. Yep. L
Marco is a D. Yeah, especially

1059
01:13:39.840 --> 01:13:45.159
with expectations. Dewan probably a solid
C, like a C or C plus.

1060
01:13:45.159 --> 01:13:47.199
Good at some things, not good
at others. Right, Nick get

1061
01:13:47.239 --> 01:13:54.000
it worse Dewan, Oh, I'd
probably give him a C plus. I

1062
01:13:54.079 --> 01:13:59.600
think he's pass even if it's very
close in the middle something. And then

1063
01:13:59.680 --> 01:14:05.119
Nick Tomberlake is probably a D F
from an F. I think d's pretty

1064
01:14:05.399 --> 01:14:10.359
accurate. Is that everybody is that
all the main rotation guys. Parker Brown

1065
01:14:10.359 --> 01:14:13.600
doesn't get a grade he's done.
Parker Brown probably gets a B. He's

1066
01:14:13.600 --> 01:14:15.920
been fine, Yeah, weirdly for
a guy that's contributed so little. I

1067
01:14:15.920 --> 01:14:20.359
think b's pretty accurate. And Jamori
McDowell is kind of ungradable for lack of

1068
01:14:20.439 --> 01:14:26.039
time. What would you great,
Bill Selph? I would give Bill self

1069
01:14:26.119 --> 01:14:30.239
a B minus right now? Yeah, I don't think. I think Kansas

1070
01:14:30.319 --> 01:14:33.840
is two really fluky stupid things away
from being eighteen and one right now,

1071
01:14:33.880 --> 01:14:39.680
and We're like, yes, they're
gonna win it all. I that's not

1072
01:14:39.760 --> 01:14:43.239
an unfair take, that's possible.
But uh, I don't know. I

1073
01:14:43.279 --> 01:14:45.560
still think this team just is so
strange to actually watch. Yeah, I

1074
01:14:45.600 --> 01:14:48.840
hated a lot of what Bill self. I hated a ton of what Self

1075
01:14:48.840 --> 01:14:55.039
did at UCF. But the the
West Virginia game one is full. Nick,

1076
01:14:55.079 --> 01:14:58.880
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
I only know one word, and

1077
01:14:58.960 --> 01:15:01.840
that word is fair. It's the
only word that comes into my brain at

1078
01:15:01.920 --> 01:15:05.479
Kate Eden fourteen. I know Ryan
is not a fan of hiring former players,

1079
01:15:05.479 --> 01:15:08.960
but if you had to pick a
former player to replace Bill Self,

1080
01:15:08.960 --> 01:15:11.840
who would it be? You list
Aaron Miles in there. That's a very

1081
01:15:11.840 --> 01:15:15.359
good name. Jeremy Case is probably
the name right now because we know he

1082
01:15:15.479 --> 01:15:19.239
has been a coach, right,
Yeah, that's not a bad one.

1083
01:15:19.880 --> 01:15:24.760
I think Frank Mason be a good
basketball coach. Paul Pierce, just for

1084
01:15:24.920 --> 01:15:30.439
vibes, he might need a wheelchair, if you know, if he has

1085
01:15:30.479 --> 01:15:32.640
a little bit of an issue there. Let's see here at show Me Hawk.

1086
01:15:32.680 --> 01:15:35.520
If Kansas were to go to one
of the Power two conferences Big ten

1087
01:15:35.600 --> 01:15:40.279
or SEC, do you think Bill
Self would be able to dominate either conference.

1088
01:15:40.479 --> 01:15:43.840
No, not because self's bad,
but well maybe the Big Ten.

1089
01:15:44.000 --> 01:15:45.680
I don't know who's stopping you.
In the Big Ten, he's gonna out

1090
01:15:45.680 --> 01:15:48.479
coach Painter if those two ever get
to play regularly. He's still the best

1091
01:15:48.479 --> 01:15:54.000
coach in either league, and he
would recruit at least top two or three

1092
01:15:54.000 --> 01:15:58.000
talent in any of those or either
of those at worst. So, I

1093
01:15:58.000 --> 01:16:00.399
mean, I guess the more I
think about it, the more I think

1094
01:16:00.399 --> 01:16:03.880
it's still the best home court advantage
out of anything in the country. Either

1095
01:16:03.920 --> 01:16:06.920
way, he'd be going to a
worse league. So yeah, you know

1096
01:16:06.960 --> 01:16:09.880
what, now I think about it, Sure, go for it. At

1097
01:16:09.960 --> 01:16:12.840
J two, Wills says, not
a question. I would just like to

1098
01:16:12.840 --> 01:16:15.560
point out that there are a lot
of KU podcasts out there who run and

1099
01:16:15.640 --> 01:16:19.560
hide after a loss. Thank you
for never being afraid to podcast after a

1100
01:16:19.600 --> 01:16:24.920
loss. Hey, I appreciate it. We are here every single show every

1101
01:16:25.000 --> 01:16:28.039
game they win by one hundred,
do they lose by one hundred, Whether

1102
01:16:28.039 --> 01:16:36.960
we're pushing coach Bill self stubborn ass, or we'll be there. Yeah,

1103
01:16:38.119 --> 01:16:41.680
Nick's not quitting after the season.
I will handcuff the man if I have

1104
01:16:41.760 --> 01:16:45.359
to until he commits I will never
down the shows. I'm counting down the

1105
01:16:45.399 --> 01:16:49.039
shows. We are about what eleven
or twelve out? Well, you know

1106
01:16:49.119 --> 01:16:53.760
what, Just for that, sir, Here's a question from at Ryan Underscore

1107
01:16:53.800 --> 01:17:00.720
Orlandrith. If Nick was in the
Matrix and the Blue pill granted him to

1108
01:17:00.279 --> 01:17:09.720
overcooked burger king Hamburgers, and the
red pill guaranteed him a wife with fully

1109
01:17:09.880 --> 01:17:15.680
tattooed arms and legs that loved him
dearly but was a big advocate of oh

1110
01:17:15.760 --> 01:17:24.520
no property taxes and driving under the
sweet limit in the left lane, how

1111
01:17:24.600 --> 01:17:33.640
quickly would Nick sing, I'm going
to burgers. That woman to be the

1112
01:17:34.359 --> 01:17:39.079
fry cook that gives me the burger
in the kitchen. Yeah, because you

1113
01:17:39.119 --> 01:17:42.359
know she likes the property, property
taxes, a proponent of the theft.

1114
01:17:43.199 --> 01:17:58.239
Yeah, I love that property.
She worked for the government anyway. No

1115
01:17:59.000 --> 01:18:03.039
oh, no oh, I have
this question from defunct Twitter account at Fields

1116
01:18:03.119 --> 01:18:09.760
under Scorlando. Think does Ross Geller
suck giant Ostrich balls? Oh wow,

1117
01:18:09.800 --> 01:18:12.680
we're going under the friends questions.
Okay, he is the worst character,

1118
01:18:12.720 --> 01:18:15.600
but I like the pivot. A
pivot is one of the funniest scenes in

1119
01:18:15.640 --> 01:18:18.319
the show, maybe the funniest scene
in the show. I just finished Friends

1120
01:18:18.359 --> 01:18:23.199
like three days ago. It was
very good. Only twenty five years too

1121
01:18:23.279 --> 01:18:27.279
late. Sir, should not be
together. Rachel deserves much better than Ross.

1122
01:18:27.319 --> 01:18:30.399
Nothing against David Swimmer. He's really
good in the role. Ross sucks.

1123
01:18:31.000 --> 01:18:35.199
Nick is Nope, he thinks jenniferanis
theon deserves death. Did you know

1124
01:18:35.239 --> 01:18:40.199
that they actually liked each other?
Like back then, like they actually like

1125
01:18:40.279 --> 01:18:43.279
Jennifer Anison and David Swimmer had a
crush on each other. Seems like I

1126
01:18:43.279 --> 01:18:45.319
had heard that. It's like how
the Main Two and that seventies show dated,

1127
01:18:45.399 --> 01:18:49.520
and it's like how the Main Two
and the Big Bang Theory dated out

1128
01:18:49.520 --> 01:18:54.399
of that point. I is it
the Big Bang Theory is at young Sheldon.

1129
01:18:54.479 --> 01:18:57.479
It's one of them. I can't
remember. Whatever the if Sheldon and

1130
01:18:57.520 --> 01:19:00.640
his sister and the show were dating, yeah, I don't know if that

1131
01:19:00.760 --> 01:19:03.000
ever happened, but that would be
a nice spinoff, right then it would

1132
01:19:03.000 --> 01:19:10.359
be like I don't know at Let's
do literally anything else at Rock Chuck AJ

1133
01:19:10.800 --> 01:19:14.600
you have to pick between adding MJ
Rice, Bobby Pettiford, or Joe YESAFU.

1134
01:19:14.600 --> 01:19:17.119
Who would you rather have MJ Rice? And I have no idea what

1135
01:19:17.199 --> 01:19:26.880
his stats are I don't know.
MJ Rice's probably j Rice. MJ Rice

1136
01:19:26.920 --> 01:19:30.920
played two minutes against Louisville. He
hasn't played since January thirteenth. He must

1137
01:19:30.960 --> 01:19:33.920
be heard again, averaging four points
per game and nine minutes. Gosh,

1138
01:19:34.800 --> 01:19:40.800
yeah, I don't need to ever
see Joe Yesafu play basketball for Kansas again.

1139
01:19:40.880 --> 01:19:44.000
That just that was never gonna work. But yes tofou is averaging six

1140
01:19:44.079 --> 01:19:47.000
points for Washington State. Let's see
what Bobby Pettiford is doing. They don't

1141
01:19:47.000 --> 01:19:50.119
need another to want Harris caliber point
guard, but Pettiford's the best of the

1142
01:19:50.119 --> 01:19:54.359
three right now. Eight points and
four ASTs for East Carolina. I would

1143
01:19:54.359 --> 01:20:00.560
take MJ Rice. I always want
wings. Oh okay, we we're just

1144
01:20:00.600 --> 01:20:02.279
bored at this point. Let's keep
going at show me hawk. What's your

1145
01:20:02.279 --> 01:20:05.920
take on multiple teams getting buys throughout
the Big twelve regular season with the new

1146
01:20:05.920 --> 01:20:10.199
schedule, Like how Baylor and Tech
gotta buy this week. I don't like

1147
01:20:10.279 --> 01:20:13.760
it because everybody's gonna get one.
You're gonna be seven weeks where two teams

1148
01:20:13.800 --> 01:20:18.399
gonna buy each week. There's too
many teams in this league. Uh yeah,

1149
01:20:18.399 --> 01:20:23.560
I leagues are way too big.
In general. So I say those

1150
01:20:23.600 --> 01:20:29.880
things, sir, have you paid
attention to yourself today? Oh? Here

1151
01:20:29.920 --> 01:20:32.960
comes a true one. Yeah,
cover customers are asked whites. Hey,

1152
01:20:33.000 --> 01:20:40.479
I have said that many times.
They can be days ago. Yeah,

1153
01:20:40.680 --> 01:20:43.199
all right, I'm trying to get
through the rest of these questions here at

1154
01:20:43.239 --> 01:20:46.119
COPE fraud should self do more offense
for defense subbing? It feels like we

1155
01:20:46.199 --> 01:20:49.680
got a good sub in Parker and
Almarco, who are better defenders for Dickinson

1156
01:20:49.680 --> 01:20:53.840
and Furfey, who are not more
than they do. Yeah, I think

1157
01:20:53.840 --> 01:20:57.960
that that's That's probably not a That's
so hard to do in basketball though,

1158
01:20:58.000 --> 01:21:00.119
because it's going back and forth if
you're talking at the end of the games.

1159
01:21:00.560 --> 01:21:05.039
Yes, yeah it is, and
really keep games to do consistently.

1160
01:21:05.840 --> 01:21:09.520
Also, does Timberlake warrant any minutes? Yeah? I think you gotta play

1161
01:21:09.560 --> 01:21:13.640
him ten minutes a game. Yeah, he's playing more competently by quite a

1162
01:21:13.640 --> 01:21:17.279
bit. At Preston Skirsik, Dickinson
mentioned he has a year of eligibility left

1163
01:21:17.279 --> 01:21:20.000
on a recent podcast, even though
I don't think he uses it. How

1164
01:21:20.039 --> 01:21:24.439
would he change the dynamics for next
year's team? And do they lose Flori?

1165
01:21:24.560 --> 01:21:27.199
But Dounga. No, they would
play together. I don't know what

1166
01:21:27.239 --> 01:21:30.239
happens with kJ in that sense,
but Flory would give you a four that

1167
01:21:30.319 --> 01:21:33.199
can rebound. I think Dickinson very
well might use it. I mean,

1168
01:21:33.239 --> 01:21:36.359
the guys, I kind of think
he will Wait's a night for every season

1169
01:21:36.359 --> 01:21:39.720
of his career. If he hasn't
gone pro yet, why would he after

1170
01:21:39.760 --> 01:21:42.920
this year. I think there's a
good chance that he comes back. Yeah,

1171
01:21:42.960 --> 01:21:45.640
and it'd be awesome. They they
they're paying him two million bucks next

1172
01:21:45.680 --> 01:21:47.479
year. Is he gonna get more
than that in the G League? Probably

1173
01:21:47.479 --> 01:21:51.640
not? No, definitely not.
I think we did it, guys.

1174
01:21:51.680 --> 01:21:55.359
I think we got through all the
questions. I'm scanning them or whatever.

1175
01:21:55.479 --> 01:21:59.640
Yeah, all right, if you
ever have ask RCB questions, use the

1176
01:21:59.680 --> 01:22:04.359
Twitter hashtag ask RCB, Use the
Twitter hashtag that's fair, use the Twitter

1177
01:22:04.399 --> 01:22:09.800
hashtag I hate ask RCB. Guess
which co host that is? And he

1178
01:22:09.840 --> 01:22:15.920
guesses, and he guesses, Well, here's a hint. Here's a hint.

1179
01:22:15.960 --> 01:22:18.760
He's also a guy that said this
at one point has his head up

1180
01:22:18.760 --> 01:22:24.760
his ass so much straw, I
hate it. Oh, I'm sorry you

1181
01:22:24.800 --> 01:22:27.079
hate it? Land And look at
what Nick has typed in the notes the

1182
01:22:27.199 --> 01:22:30.760
last fifteen minutes, and he's gonna
tell us what we can't say. I

1183
01:22:30.800 --> 01:22:35.680
would like to put none of mine
are even jokingly offensive. Why are all

1184
01:22:35.760 --> 01:22:41.479
mine jokingly or seriously offensive? No, they are not all of them.

1185
01:22:41.720 --> 01:22:45.159
This is what Ryan says. I'll
skip the first two because those aren't legit.

1186
01:22:45.000 --> 01:22:49.720
You already said the third one.
Ryan's no no, no no no

1187
01:22:49.880 --> 01:22:59.920
no no no no no no no
no no no no no no clear that.

1188
01:23:00.079 --> 01:23:02.239
Oh that's gonna sound great in your
AirPods. This show is so bad.

1189
01:23:03.039 --> 01:23:06.479
Yeah, yeah, well you in
your face if you think this,

1190
01:23:09.760 --> 01:23:13.880
I love that for Kansas. If
you think this show is bad, wait,

1191
01:23:13.880 --> 01:23:18.960
do you watch this game? Number
seven Kansas at number twenty three Iowa

1192
01:23:19.239 --> 01:23:24.319
State Saturday on the twenty seventh of
January at twelve thirty pm. Hey,

1193
01:23:24.319 --> 01:23:28.920
it's a CBS noon game. Guys. Nothing ever goes poorly. There never

1194
01:23:28.920 --> 01:23:36.600
has number will yep m oh my
turn. The eternally overachieving Iowa State Cyclones

1195
01:23:36.600 --> 01:23:40.319
are fifteen and four on the year
four and two and Big twelve play.

1196
01:23:40.479 --> 01:23:45.039
Their non conference schedule featured tons of
huge wins over horrible teams, which made

1197
01:23:45.079 --> 01:23:46.920
their metrics look really good. But
they're twelve and oh home, which includes

1198
01:23:47.000 --> 01:23:50.560
win over Houston, so they have
been good in the best Big twelve team

1199
01:23:50.560 --> 01:24:00.439
ever ioa state's basketball team ever.
Iowa states, you're gonna want to read

1200
01:24:00.439 --> 01:24:05.319
this next paragraph, your nick I
was His best player is point guard to

1201
01:24:05.399 --> 01:24:10.479
Mean Lepsy, who averages fourteen points
and six assists while shooting thirty seven percent

1202
01:24:10.520 --> 01:24:13.439
from three. He's an excellent player
and has a case for best point guard

1203
01:24:13.439 --> 01:24:16.920
in the conference. It's certainly not
dwe Harris. Slashing wing Keith Shawn Gilbert

1204
01:24:17.119 --> 01:24:20.600
adds in fourteen points and five rebounds
and for ass but he's not a three

1205
01:24:20.600 --> 01:24:25.159
point threat at just twenty five percent. Trey King, Curtis Jones, and

1206
01:24:25.159 --> 01:24:34.039
white guy at the Universe candidate Jackson
Pavacel grounds out the black girl hard Pawalatski.

1207
01:24:34.800 --> 01:24:42.079
Yeah, okay, then just like
to try this one now, I'm

1208
01:24:42.119 --> 01:24:46.600
just going six eight Milan Mom Sudovich
plays the four, but he plays like

1209
01:24:46.640 --> 01:24:49.640
a three, as evidenced that his
thirteen and three averages his team is the

1210
01:24:49.640 --> 01:24:55.000
biggest. He's the team's biggest three
point thread forty. The center is Robert

1211
01:24:55.039 --> 01:24:58.560
Jones. That's about as white as
Landen Fields is a name. He's black,

1212
01:24:58.720 --> 01:25:03.039
He's not white yet. Yeah,
exactly, oxing world uh six ten

1213
01:25:03.359 --> 01:25:06.960
two fifty five with nine to four. He iss Udoka as a boogie level

1214
01:25:08.000 --> 01:25:11.359
free throw shooter at about forty five
percent from his career though, so don't

1215
01:25:11.359 --> 01:25:15.800
worry about him at the line.
So Iowa states an interesting one. ESPN

1216
01:25:15.840 --> 01:25:18.479
gives Kansas a twenty two percent chance
to win this game, which is dumb.

1217
01:25:19.119 --> 01:25:23.079
The metrics love them. They're the
second best team in the Big Twelve

1218
01:25:23.119 --> 01:25:26.560
according to the ESPN Metrics. They're
the third best Big twelve team according to

1219
01:25:26.640 --> 01:25:29.279
Ken Palm. They might actually be
second. I don't know where byu is.

1220
01:25:29.720 --> 01:25:31.640
The metrics love them, particularly on
the defensive end, but they've also

1221
01:25:31.640 --> 01:25:35.039
beat up on some truly horrible teams. To balloon these numbers. They have

1222
01:25:35.079 --> 01:25:40.039
more Quad four wins than any team
in college basketball. They are fifth nationally

1223
01:25:40.079 --> 01:25:43.079
in steals, their top ten in
points allowed, their top ten and shots

1224
01:25:43.119 --> 01:25:45.199
allowed, particularly inside the arc.
Now you may see that top ten and

1225
01:25:45.199 --> 01:25:48.520
shots allowed. Think they play real
slow. They don't. They force so

1226
01:25:48.720 --> 01:25:54.680
many turnovers that opponents don't get very
many shots up against them. They shoot

1227
01:25:54.760 --> 01:25:58.399
way more than their opponent does,
so even though they shoot a worst percentage

1228
01:25:58.399 --> 01:26:01.880
some Knights in their opponents. Because
they can hold their opposition to fewer field

1229
01:26:01.960 --> 01:26:06.960
goal attempts via turnovers, they end
up coming out ahead their top thirty and

1230
01:26:08.119 --> 01:26:11.640
field goal percentage on offense, and
they're very good at drawing fouls. But

1231
01:26:11.680 --> 01:26:15.439
again, the competition they've played in
flights this because they are always ahead latent

1232
01:26:15.479 --> 01:26:18.239
games. The weakness is that I
can gather our free throw shooting once they

1233
01:26:18.239 --> 01:26:24.399
get there rebounding, particularly defensively,
which is interesting because their awful opponents miss

1234
01:26:24.399 --> 01:26:27.399
a lot of shots and they still
can't rebound the ball. They're also a

1235
01:26:27.479 --> 01:26:30.880
decent but not great three point shooting
team. They also don't contest shots super

1236
01:26:30.880 --> 01:26:34.560
well, which is interesting. If
you actually manage to shoot it against them,

1237
01:26:34.960 --> 01:26:39.079
then then it's okay. They give
up a low volume, but the

1238
01:26:39.119 --> 01:26:43.640
percentage isn't great, So if Kansas
isn't turning it over one hundred times before

1239
01:26:43.800 --> 01:26:46.760
the ball gets the Hunter Dickinson,
he should be able to post some nice

1240
01:26:46.840 --> 01:26:54.800
numbers. Actually laying it in,
it feels like it's been worse, but

1241
01:26:54.920 --> 01:26:58.520
Kansas has actually won eight or their
last nine matchups against the Cyclones, and

1242
01:26:58.520 --> 01:27:03.039
Bill self is fourteen and six in
twenty years at Hilton Coliseum, Nick,

1243
01:27:03.119 --> 01:27:08.039
is that gonna be fourteen and seven? I think it is. I think

1244
01:27:08.119 --> 01:27:12.000
Kansas drops to sixteen and four with
a loss, and aims give me a

1245
01:27:12.000 --> 01:27:16.399
final score of Iowa State sixty to
nine, Kansas sixty five. I think

1246
01:27:16.399 --> 01:27:20.840
the Jayhawks road woes continue in a
tough environment where I would state it hasn't

1247
01:27:20.880 --> 01:27:26.680
lost at home this year. How
many points would I have to give you

1248
01:27:27.359 --> 01:27:30.560
before you would say nope. I
bet the winner of the game scores more

1249
01:27:30.640 --> 01:27:34.239
than that. How many points the
winner of this game gonna score over under

1250
01:27:34.359 --> 01:27:43.680
sixty over over under sixty five,
over, probably over, So it's about

1251
01:27:43.720 --> 01:27:48.039
that over under seventy. Both teams
gonna have set right around that. Okay,

1252
01:27:48.199 --> 01:27:50.880
I'm gonna say I'll save Lane in
for last so you can break a

1253
01:27:50.960 --> 01:27:54.960
tie. Yes, I am gonna
pick Kansas, and I'm not gonna pick

1254
01:27:55.039 --> 01:27:59.239
Kansas because I love this prize.
Cries, I think, not pick Kansas.

1255
01:27:59.359 --> 01:28:02.640
When was the last time you legitimately
picked a team against Kansas? Well,

1256
01:28:02.680 --> 01:28:05.560
I mean, what's Kansas's record in
the last how many year they win

1257
01:28:05.600 --> 01:28:10.279
eighty five percent of their game?
So it's legitimately have you When was the

1258
01:28:10.319 --> 01:28:15.760
last time you picked Kansas's opponent in
any game in any preview? Yeah,

1259
01:28:15.800 --> 01:28:18.880
I don't know. It's been a
while, hadn't it been a long time?

1260
01:28:19.560 --> 01:28:23.479
Been a long time. I'll pick
them to lose against Houston because that

1261
01:28:23.520 --> 01:28:28.720
game has already been lost. Kansas
will lose on the road again this year,

1262
01:28:29.199 --> 01:28:31.680
but they've lost two games they shouldn't, so my weird brain says they're

1263
01:28:31.680 --> 01:28:34.039
gonna win one that It doesn't make
a lot of sense for them too.

1264
01:28:34.520 --> 01:28:39.279
I think that they have gotten better
and fixed the turnover problems and that's gonna

1265
01:28:39.279 --> 01:28:42.439
be put to the test here.
And I think they're better than Iowa State.

1266
01:28:42.560 --> 01:28:45.239
I don't think Iowa State is very
good from a talent perspective compared to

1267
01:28:45.319 --> 01:28:48.399
these other Big Twelve teams at the
top. They're scrappy, they play hard,

1268
01:28:48.399 --> 01:28:51.359
they got a great home court advantage. But come on, they're Kansas.

1269
01:28:51.359 --> 01:28:54.800
We pick them to win the Big
Twelve. We think they're gonna make

1270
01:28:54.840 --> 01:28:57.640
the tournament as a very high seed. Okay, then you can't lose all

1271
01:28:57.680 --> 01:29:01.720
the road games. Kansas seventy two, Iowa State sixty four. Oh,

1272
01:29:01.760 --> 01:29:06.119
but I actually am gonna pick them
to lose for real, I think it

1273
01:29:06.119 --> 01:29:09.880
will take them here. I know
that Kansas Again, I do not think

1274
01:29:09.920 --> 01:29:13.920
the sky will be falling, as
Twitter will claim when they lose. But

1275
01:29:13.960 --> 01:29:15.760
I do think I'm gonna take Iowa
State. It's more of a toss up,

1276
01:29:15.760 --> 01:29:19.760
I think. Again. I don't
feel insanely confident about that, but

1277
01:29:19.840 --> 01:29:24.000
I do think Iowa State is gonna
be good enough to win. That atmosphere

1278
01:29:24.039 --> 01:29:28.359
is gonna be really tough. They're
both better than UCF and West Virginia by

1279
01:29:28.840 --> 01:29:30.640
a fair margin, I think,
So give me the Cyclones in a close

1280
01:29:30.680 --> 01:29:34.800
game, I'll say seventy one sixty
seven. Well, if all it takes

1281
01:29:34.800 --> 01:29:39.039
to beat them at home is to
be better than UCF in West Virginia,

1282
01:29:39.199 --> 01:29:41.840
it's not gonna be a very fun
year for Kansas on the road. They

1283
01:29:41.880 --> 01:29:45.079
gotta win something eventually, and the
road scheduled the rest of the year is

1284
01:29:45.119 --> 01:29:49.760
freaking brutal. They have six road
games left Iowa State, k State,

1285
01:29:49.920 --> 01:29:55.960
Baylor, Texas Tech, Houston,
and Oklahoma. Like, that's a brutal

1286
01:29:56.079 --> 01:29:59.279
schedule on the road. They gotta
start winning some of these unless they they're

1287
01:29:59.279 --> 01:30:00.680
not gonna win the league. Like, if they can't win. I will

1288
01:30:00.680 --> 01:30:05.239
predict right now, they win at
Baylor on on Pam and Jeff Jones Court

1289
01:30:05.319 --> 01:30:10.159
or whatever the hell. It is
the best named court in the Big Twelve,

1290
01:30:10.199 --> 01:30:14.840
if you ask me. Awful Big
Twelve games. Kansas State at number

1291
01:30:14.840 --> 01:30:18.479
four Houston. ESPN says that Houston
has a ninety seven percent chance of winning

1292
01:30:18.479 --> 01:30:21.560
this game. That's blasphemous, But
I think they beat the Cats. I

1293
01:30:21.560 --> 01:30:28.720
think they do win. Yeah,
I think Houston wins. Number twenty Texas

1294
01:30:28.720 --> 01:30:30.920
Tech at number eleven, Oklahoma.
Give me the Sooners to bounce back,

1295
01:30:30.960 --> 01:30:36.279
but I hate it. Yep,
yep. Texas at number twenty one,

1296
01:30:36.359 --> 01:30:40.560
b yu. I was hoping BYU
would beat Houston, then I could pick

1297
01:30:40.600 --> 01:30:44.000
Texas to beat them. But this
feels like when we're starting to field Texas

1298
01:30:44.000 --> 01:30:47.680
again. So they're gonna lose.
Give me the Cougars, Yep, I'm

1299
01:30:47.680 --> 01:30:54.560
gonna take the Longhorns the Cougars.
The Cougar shoots so many fricking threes,

1300
01:30:54.640 --> 01:30:58.119
dude, it's unreal. I don't
know how much of them you've watched.

1301
01:30:58.399 --> 01:31:01.439
Let me pull their color. Shoot
a lot. It's unreal. They took

1302
01:31:01.479 --> 01:31:05.319
like forty threes against Houston the other
night. This year. They are shooting

1303
01:31:06.359 --> 01:31:10.800
the second most amount of threes per
game. They take thirty four threes per

1304
01:31:10.880 --> 01:31:15.600
game. That's pretty sexy. They
come dowl in field house very soon.

1305
01:31:15.640 --> 01:31:17.560
It's not gonna be fun, but
I think they beat Texas here Spencer.

1306
01:31:17.640 --> 01:31:20.439
West Virginia will burn the place of
the ground. All right, guys,

1307
01:31:20.479 --> 01:31:25.800
is this the place to take Oklahoma
State? West Virginia at Oklahoma State?

1308
01:31:25.880 --> 01:31:29.640
Who wins? You really? You
really would think this would be the place

1309
01:31:29.640 --> 01:31:31.039
to take Oklahoma State. I think
they're gonna win. It's gonna be a

1310
01:31:31.039 --> 01:31:34.960
weirder one than this, though.
I think the Mountaineers get a really devastating

1311
01:31:35.000 --> 01:31:39.600
win. I do too, Yeah, I do. I think Oklahoma State

1312
01:31:39.640 --> 01:31:44.279
wins this game. They're not gonna
lose them all. TCU. Mike Boyton

1313
01:31:44.319 --> 01:31:53.520
says, watch this TCU at number
fifteen. Baylor. I think Baylor.

1314
01:31:53.680 --> 01:31:56.359
I sound like Tony Romo. Baylor
wins. They've had a week off.

1315
01:31:56.880 --> 01:31:59.920
Oh, Jim, I don't know
the Bears against the horn Frogs. Jim,

1316
01:32:01.640 --> 01:32:05.880
uh yeah, give me Baylor UCF
at Cincinnati. I think we all

1317
01:32:05.880 --> 01:32:11.399
want the Bearcats to bounce back.
Yeah, yep, yeah, sure.

1318
01:32:12.359 --> 01:32:15.439
Other games here. I'll take an
upset here. Why not? Number three

1319
01:32:15.479 --> 01:32:17.920
North Carolina at Florida State. The
tar Holes can't win them all. I'll

1320
01:32:17.920 --> 01:32:23.119
take the Seminoles. Yeah, Leonard
Hamilton, there are worst coaches to pick.

1321
01:32:25.680 --> 01:32:30.039
I'll tea with Carolina. Number eight
Auburn at Mississippi State. Do the

1322
01:32:30.159 --> 01:32:34.319
Tigers bounce back? Yes? Yeah, I'm gonna say no, I say

1323
01:32:34.319 --> 01:32:38.960
they dropped two in a row.
Number eighteen Utah State at Boise State.

1324
01:32:39.920 --> 01:32:42.159
Nick and Landon are probably thinking,
why are we picking this game? But

1325
01:32:42.159 --> 01:32:45.079
this is a very entertaining game.
Teams currently first and second in the Mountain

1326
01:32:45.119 --> 01:32:51.119
West. I say the Broncos went
at home. Same, No, I'll

1327
01:32:51.119 --> 01:32:56.439
say Utah State steals a road game. Top two teams in the Pac twelve

1328
01:32:56.439 --> 01:33:00.960
playing in UGEN. Number nine Arizona
at Oregon Arizona in a two overtime classic

1329
01:33:01.560 --> 01:33:05.560
Arizona. Yeah, I think Arizona
wins. They're they're better than everybody else.

1330
01:33:05.720 --> 01:33:10.359
And Number two Purdue at Rutgers.
We saw Rutgers take down the boiler

1331
01:33:10.399 --> 01:33:13.439
Makers last year on a buzzer beater. They've been on a roll. Is

1332
01:33:13.439 --> 01:33:18.079
this where the ends give Medue?
Yeah? I'll take Purdue as well.

1333
01:33:19.279 --> 01:33:24.359
So next show coming out after the
Chiefs game at some point. Probably it'll

1334
01:33:24.359 --> 01:33:28.359
post Monday. Uh yeah, we'll
do that. They do get a lay

1335
01:33:28.439 --> 01:33:30.760
up here coming up with Oklahoma State
at home on Tuesday, and then after

1336
01:33:30.800 --> 01:33:33.520
that the schedule gets really tough.
This is a big one for Kansas.

1337
01:33:33.560 --> 01:33:36.479
They can win it. They are
gonna they're they're gonna beat Oklahoma State and

1338
01:33:36.479 --> 01:33:41.479
they'll go into that game against Houston
on a nice little winning streak that they

1339
01:33:41.520 --> 01:33:43.920
got to get it done to the
Ames first, which neither of these two

1340
01:33:43.960 --> 01:33:46.640
yahoos think they will until the next
time. This is inside the paint.

1341
01:33:46.680 --> 01:33:54.079
I'm Ryan Landers, I'm Ross Keller, and I am Jennifer Aniston. I

1342
01:33:54.760 --> 01:33:58.000
like that one. Yeah, No, I do, Yeah, I wish

1343
01:33:58.319 --> 01:34:02.000
Yeah, Well, Nick wish Nick? Nick glad he's not, yeah,

1344
01:34:02.079 --> 01:34:05.880
because boy, how terrible would that
be to be Jennifer Anathon in her fifties,

1345
01:34:06.840 --> 01:34:12.840
Gruss, I wouldn't want to be
a woman in menopause. On that

1346
01:34:12.920 --> 01:34:15.600
note, that's gonna be a drop
On that note, behavior selves
