WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:03.640 All right, Well, you guys saw what happened. You guys saw the 2 00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:06.839 final result, so you know what we have to do at this point. 3 00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:15.000 Sorry in advance, No, it's not. And they did play this song, 4 00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:18.440 do you guys hear it? It was very loud, and then they 5 00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:23.079 played it again and overtime and then they ran into Jerome Tang in overtime, 6 00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:30.719 so you know exactly how it ended, right, Just a total so fun 7 00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:35.359 though. I'm glad they sandstormed. I'm glad they let them sandstorm they did. 8 00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:39.759 They deserved it, they earned one. Gosh so fris So. Nick 9 00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:43.119 pointed out, as we do our four hundred and forty fourth show today, 10 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.399 Angel number the Angel are, it's more like the Devil Show today because you 11 00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.079 know, the Devil possessed Kevin McCuller and made him miss all those free throws 12 00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.920 and you know, now we're stuck with another road loss. So thanks to 13 00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.200 the Jayhawks are one and four on the road. Nick pointed out, that 14 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.439 are the names of our show notes which are all on a folder? Are 15 00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.000 hilarious? Nick? Tell me about that? How they're all over the place. 16 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.000 Yeah, I mean earlier this season, you know, you start conference 17 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:14.439 play, we got a TCU wow in the notes for that episode sixteen, 18 00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:19.400 and then we got a UCF ooh oh you dub Oklahomas needed beat down, 19 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:33.280 Houston blowout, WTF Bill wtfy alloy are bad shamanad k A L Marquee Mawie. 20 00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:37.599 Yeah. Landing back question mark from when Landon was on dates earlier this 21 00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.920 year, and you're you're gonna have more dates. Tell us a little bit 22 00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:46.719 about how you are going on a weekend retreat that you hope goes as well 23 00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:52.879 for you as overtime usually goes for Jerome Tank Man. If the weekend goes 24 00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:56.200 as well as Jerome Tank does in overtime, then I'm in for a heck 25 00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.560 of a few days. Yeah, we're gonna be out next week. What 26 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:04.519 was probably definitely one? Probably two? Uh, I guess what we're just 27 00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:07.400 calling dates until I mean, you're getting you're getting paid two thousand dollars to 28 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:15.039 film eighth graders. Yeah, wow, literally that's true. What they're doing 29 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:19.919 is important, and what I'm I didn't I didn't even important. You're at 30 00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.960 it, you're at a competition, you're at a you're at a sports competition 31 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.759 for production, Like, I didn't mean to make that creepy. I should 32 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.960 not ever come into contact with the eighth graders. In fact, I hope 33 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:36.240 that I don't maybe the cheer hope. Likewise, here is Landon rushing in 34 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.800 at two thousand miles an hour trying to put out that fire that Nick just 35 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:46.319 opened up for him. So, yes, Kansas loses, do that to 36 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.719 you. Sorry, this is inside the Paint. By the way, this 37 00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:53.120 is a podcast. We talk about the Jayhawks, and because they played a 38 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.800 road game, we're probably going to be talking about a loss. That's exactly 39 00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:00.599 actually what we're doing today. I'm Ryan Landreth. Oh, I didn't think 40 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:08.479 of a name. I am uh sir on Jerom Tang's shirt under his polo 41 00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:15.199 and always sees through hey, much like Kevin mccullar took his paid time off 42 00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.120 on Monday in the second half, Land And we have a very comprehensive paid 43 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:22.560 time off package for you to use whenever you're out. Yeah, it's very 44 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:24.759 exclusive and I'll have to review the details and i'll let you know. At 45 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:31.080 the maternity package, I believe, I believe I've doubled the benefits from last 46 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:35.840 year, so it's I made him even better. You know, last year 47 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.520 you get twice as many paid days off this year. It's it's a big 48 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.560 exclusive thing. Yeah, so let's go ahead. And but in order to 49 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:45.520 earn that pizzoster, you first have to talk about the Jayhawks who went up 50 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:47.759 to Manhattan and lost. Then well, here we go, let's talk all 51 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:53.199 about it. We just need to talk about Saint Mary's at this point until 52 00:03:53.240 --> 00:04:00.479 they lose, because they're more fun than to any any who. Babe Kansas 53 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:14.240 State seventy five, number four, Kansas seventy in over time? Did they 54 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:21.360 chant that it was? Jerome Tang has done it? He like, I 55 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:25.600 feel like we should put him in charge of more important things in this country, 56 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:30.000 because if he could get that student body to stop chancing that at Kansas, 57 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.519 then he surely can fix the healthcare crisis. Right, that sounds like 58 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:39.399 an easier job. Maybe you should check back with the healthcare crisis, Jerome 59 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:43.199 Tang. Yeah, surely he must be better than the people we have currently 60 00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.000 in charge. Landon was trying to uh. Landon was trying to tell you 61 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:50.360 what happened, and then I hunter Dickenson in the lane him and just blasted 62 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:56.600 right over him. Tyler Perry still has to be sore after getting trucked by 63 00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.560 a seven foot two dude. Sorry, Landon, I'm not seven to but 64 00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.639 I'm sure hurt. Go ahead, No, that's okay, That's just typical 65 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:05.160 mismanagement. On the show. You played a song, maybe you had something 66 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.680 in mind, but then there was a dead space, and I thought I 67 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:11.560 was making a mistake by just letting the dead space happen, right, and 68 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:17.639 then yeah, anyway. It was a familiar tale for the Jayhawks, especially 69 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:21.600 this season, who after a tight first half, began to separate early in 70 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:25.160 the second half. They were up eleven, it was forty one to thirty 71 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:29.720 seventeen minutes to go. Nick during the West Virginia game in Morgantown, when 72 00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.439 a similar thing happened, was like, yes, Kansas is gonna win. 73 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.160 And I at that time in that game, I was not so sure. 74 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:41.759 But tonight against the Wildcats, I totally agreed. I thought that Kansas was 75 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:45.959 gonna run away and hide with the game. That didn't happen. They immediately 76 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.199 let k State back in it. Neither team led by more than five in 77 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:54.120 the final twenty minutes of play. kJ Adams did have a game tying dunk 78 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:58.720 with ten seconds left that forced overtime. But the Jayhawks couldn't keep up with 79 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.480 the voodoo curve that Jerome tank has on overtime. But also Tyler Perry, 80 00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:09.199 who made a lot of threes and sent them to their fourth conference road loss 81 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.680 in five conference road games, which is, uh, if I'm checking my 82 00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:18.759 stats right, that's bad. Hard by the road schedule, Yeah, very 83 00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:24.199 easy environments like Lubbock, Waco, and Houston still on the schedule, So 84 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:29.120 I see no grace skies ahead for Kansas at all. Nick, let's start 85 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:33.000 with this. It's a long season. They've played twenty three games at this 86 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.000 point in the year. It's pretty hard to get your opinion on them to 87 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:40.439 sway real heavily one way or the other based on one game. But I'm 88 00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:44.120 curious. We were all super stoked about everything after the Houston game. W 89 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.480 was just forty eight hours before this. How are you feeling after this one? 90 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:51.519 Did this game change your thinking much about the twenty twenty four Jayhawks. 91 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:55.920 I feel like a dog in the leash every time. Every time it looks 92 00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.240 like I'm gonna get like a little room to run, you know, Ku 93 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:00.680 beats Houston, I'm getting all excited. I did like a little excited puppy, 94 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.920 and then Ryan, my owner, just yanks the chain and just pulls 95 00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:09.120 me back, saying, you're doing your best David McCormick impression. Oh yeah, 96 00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:13.480 I was gonna come right in with this since you talked about being a 97 00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:15.439 dog. Ryan yanks the chain, and then all of a sudden I have 98 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:23.160 to pull back and reconsider. Uh, but that's real. That's really where 99 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:25.720 I'm at with this team right now. You know, they they put together 100 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:30.720 some really good games. The Houston game, absolute domination, all parts of 101 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.560 their offense clicking together. You know, the freshman Johnny Furfy looked great, 102 00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:38.160 all their star pieces looked great. And then you go two days later, 103 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.759 two nights later. I don't know if I t fatigue had something to do 104 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.199 with it, and they go into Manhattan and start off pretty well. You 105 00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.519 know, the first half looked pretty good. Uh, kept kept pace with 106 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:48.959 case sty had the lead for quite the first half, and then the second 107 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:53.199 half blew out of the gates and really thought, at that point, I'm 108 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:57.480 like, this game's over. And then the shooting just grew very very cold. 109 00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:01.720 Kevin mcicoler disappeared like no other, the most ever this season, mister 110 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:03.600 reliable. You may call him up to this point, but this second half 111 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.879 was completely non existent. Some other key contributors like KG Adams really struggled, 112 00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.959 and then you have a get to overtime luckily, and then you have a 113 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:15.560 rough. You know, you lose to Drome Tank. Drum Tank doesn't lose 114 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.680 an over in overtime. So uh, but I don't know. It's hard 115 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.680 to process. Really. What it is is this team just bad on the 116 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:24.839 road, like genuinely bad on the road. Like you said, they're one 117 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.839 and one and four to start conference plays, so it is it is really 118 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.039 hard to process. I I don't think my confidence is weighing too much in 119 00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:35.000 the potential of this team. I still think the ceiling is a roof, 120 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.960 like you guys have talked about as well. But but right now, it's 121 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.639 really hard to when when they're playing such back, such a back and forth 122 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:45.879 type of thing usually under Billsoft teams, it seems like they start out a 123 00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:50.000 little rough and then they kick it into gear. You know, we're hopeful 124 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.200 for that. They beat Oklahoma State by a lot, beat Houston by a 125 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.080 lot, and then come to this game kind of a pull back a little 126 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.679 bit. You've got a tough schedule left in conference play. You know, 127 00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.879 is it gonna be like one of those classic Billsoft teams where you just finished 128 00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:05.679 the stretch with an eight with eight winsor or what. But you know they've 129 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.360 got they've got their backs up against the wall for surely's in their first four 130 00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.399 games in the road or one of the first four of the five conference games 131 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:16.440 in the road. All right, I'm gonna present to you two different camps, 132 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:18.200 and I want you to tell me if you're in Camp A, if 133 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.279 you're in Camp B or A split. All right, here we go, 134 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:24.960 Camp A. The Jayhawks are one and four on the road. This is 135 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.519 a team that's been the best road team of any powered league team in the 136 00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:33.720 bill self tenure. They're always automatic at closing out close games, and yet 137 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.919 in conference play we've seen five games that have really truly been coin flips with 138 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.039 a couple of minutes left. Maybe don't count the Iowa State game because they 139 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.879 were playing from behind there, but still that was a two point game with 140 00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:48.000 a minute left. Four true coin flips. Final TV time out. This 141 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:52.000 game could go either way. TCU at home, UCF on the road. 142 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.759 Was Virginia on the road, Case State on the road, Kansas is one 143 00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.639 to three, and those four games for a coach that usually wins eighty such 144 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.840 percent of those games. This team is doing things that most Bill Self teams 145 00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:07.759 don't, and therefore we should not have much expectation. This team is clearly 146 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.519 going to continue to struggle on the road because the rest of the schedule's brutal. 147 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.799 In the NCAA tournament, because they don't play at Allen field House, 148 00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.559 things may not go as well as it normally does or can't be, which 149 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:24.399 is the Jayhawks have lost four road games by less than twenty total points, 150 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:28.080 and I think you could say a lot of random, weird stuff has happened 151 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.840 in each of those games, like West Virginia making twice as many threes as 152 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.279 they normally make, or Iowa State doing the same, or Kansas State needing 153 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:41.120 a Hunter Dickinson tipped in his own basket sort of thing just to just to 154 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.360 tie it, and then you end up losing to them in overtime. And 155 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.919 overall, you have an eighteen year or a twenty year sample size of this 156 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.720 coach and a month that's completely different than what we've seen. It's just a 157 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.759 bad stretch. Even the worst Big twelve teams are still top seventy five, 158 00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:00.440 Top one hundred Ken Palm teams, and there aren't five teams in the country 159 00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.799 that you can name that are better than Kansas. Could it cost them the 160 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:07.320 Could it cost them a Big twelve losing to UCF and West Virginia? Yeah, 161 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:09.039 could cost you a Big twelve title. You may finish third instead of 162 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.840 first because of it. And I don't think they're falling below two. May 163 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.039 cost just first instead of second. But is it gonna impact them in March. 164 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:18.759 No, They're still one of the five best teams. They're still very 165 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.080 talented. Which camp do you more? So? Put your foot in both 166 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:26.960 of you A or B. I would say, I'm probably like eighty twenty 167 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:31.519 in can't be okay? Now I was say the same, Yeah, okay. 168 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:33.480 So if that's the case, Land and you should feel pretty confident. 169 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.399 This has been a weird last month of games where they're just a couple bounces 170 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.279 of the ball away from having a much better road record. For the record, 171 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.600 I think if they had just won one of those four road games, 172 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:46.639 we're feeling very differently about them. They're seven and three, they're tight for 173 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:50.799 first, they have complete control of their own destiny instead, you'll lose all 174 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:52.639 of them, And it's like, hmm, okay, maybe there maybe there 175 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:58.039 is a legitimate problem. But if you're mostly in Camp B where what's happening 176 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.720 right now and losing an overtime game cat in which they didn't fall a spot 177 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:03.360 in Ken Palm, if that goes to show how much Ken Palm thinks this 178 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.200 game stood out against the rest of their season, that's not gonna have any 179 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:11.559 bearing over what happens in the NCAA tournament. The worst thing that happens, 180 00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:13.639 did you finished second in a Big twelve race? Oh no, and you're 181 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.200 still a high seed. That's kind of more of the camp you're in. 182 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.799 Yeah, I mean, I definitely don't think it impacts this team's ceiling is 183 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:28.919 not impacted by just random losses or like, really what I think they're capable 184 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.600 of because Hunter Dickinson and Kevin mccouler and Johnny Furfey when he's hot, and 185 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:39.840 KG Adams at his best and Dwan Harris at his best, that is arguably 186 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.320 the best starting five in America or at least one of the best couple And 187 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:48.639 yeah, they absolutely can go to a Final four win a Big twelve tournament, 188 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:54.559 maybe even compete for a national championship if those guys play well. So 189 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.000 yeah, a road loss, even a road loss against your in state rival 190 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:03.720 in February, doesn't affect that ceiling like at all. I do think there 191 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:09.200 are some genuine road concerns, just just more so based off numbers, because 192 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.759 I agree with you Ryan that, like, I think a lot of these 193 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.320 have been coin flip games. They've been. There's been some weird fluky stuff, 194 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.480 some insanely hot shooting performances. Yeah, tip in your own basket, 195 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:24.600 stuff like that. How many miss bunnies? How many check the rims at 196 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.000 Bramlage at this point if they just make cheese? It just felt like I 197 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:31.919 know I am beating a dead horse, and everybody on Twitter disagrees with me. 198 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.600 I feel like they're very unlucky six and four. I feel like they 199 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.279 are an eight and two caliber team right now in the Big twelve? Am 200 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:45.159 I crazy? I don't think so, Nick? Do you? Here's here's 201 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.559 for other reasons, But I think if we're gonna diagnose the situation, I 202 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:52.879 think it's important to also recognize that this team does not really have a guy 203 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:56.480 to go to in late game situations reliably. And I think that, like 204 00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:01.399 I totally agree with this the sentiment that this has been unlucky down the stretch 205 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.919 and those after the TV last TV timeout and these coin flip games in the 206 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.840 road. But I do think that some of that has to do with Kansas. 207 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.480 First of all, I think Mike Vernon and his scoops here and shared 208 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:16.240 a stat that shows K's one of the worst in the country in late shot 209 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.519 games, shot clock situations, the last five seconds of the shot clock. 210 00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:22.600 And they also have not had a guy that's been reliable to go get them 211 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.960 a bucket when they needed to. Think about all the KU teams under Bill's 212 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:28.600 self in the past, we'll have had that one guy that sticks out in 213 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.360 your mind that could go and score a basket down the stretch when they needed 214 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.399 him to. You know, I think they have that guy, though, 215 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.360 they're just not throwing him the ball because their other best player tries to be 216 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.960 a hero. Shades of it too, because you had the kJ Adams dunk 217 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:46.559 out of the timeout, which was perfectly drawn up by Bill self as he 218 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.960 usually does out of the timeout, and that got the game to overtime. 219 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.000 But then in overtime you know, another shooting drought and then at the end 220 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.600 of the game, I can't they made one basket over time. But yeah, 221 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:05.080 yeah, I think that they have that guy. I think Hunter Dickinson 222 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.679 is the guy. And it feels like when they go through droughts, we're 223 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.480 sitting there going, like the long possession that ended with Kevin one of Kevin 224 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:18.600 mccullor's turnovers, I don't remember if it was the foot on the baseline or 225 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:20.240 or the foot on the end line, or if it was the time he 226 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.080 just lost the dribble, but one of them, I remember thinking, oh 227 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.320 my gosh, we just watched twenty four seconds and a Hunter did it touched 228 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:31.759 the ball? Like, how does that happen? It feels like they have 229 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:35.360 that guy, they just don't get him the ball enough in these situations. 230 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:37.720 I don't know. I think you're right. Mcculr's been clutched, but he 231 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:43.039 is ice cold as of late and all the road games, and yeah, 232 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.039 they have too much talent on this team to be faltering at the end of 233 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:48.879 games. That's the sort of thing I think will turn around. Clearly. 234 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:52.639 They have good players, they have a great coach. That feels like one 235 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.399 of those things that's just kind of a eh. The last month of games 236 00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:00.559 or so haven't gone the way they normally are, But I'm sure that I'll 237 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.799 turn around. In case you can't tell by my stick, I don't feel 238 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:07.559 differently about this team. The Big Twelve is getting harder and harder to see 239 00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:08.960 that a path of them winning it out right. At this point, I 240 00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:12.000 still am not convinced Houston's just gonna skate through the second half. They've never 241 00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:15.840 been in a Big twelve race, and I think Kansas has a pretty good 242 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.159 shot at at ending up with a share of this league at minimum. But 243 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.080 yeah, I think this team's one of the five best in the country, 244 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:25.519 and these weird losses aren't doing it for me. They're not making me jump 245 00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:29.240 off the bandwagon. I can't name five teams better than Kansas at this point. 246 00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:30.879 I don't care what the record is. I don't care any of that. 247 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.000 All I care about is they are going to be one of the best 248 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:37.080 teams in the country entering the NCAA Tournament. I don't know that makes me 249 00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:40.519 crazy or not. Landon, let's talk about Hunter. I don't know if 250 00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:45.360 I'm if I overrate Hunter Dickinson because he posts stats like this, But it 251 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:47.559 feels like they do have that guy that go get into a but we saw 252 00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:49.600 him hit a game winner against TCU. It just they just choose not to 253 00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:53.519 go to him sometimes. Yeah, it's true. And Hunter Dickinson did put 254 00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:57.159 up some great numbers. He had twenty one points, twelve rebounds in thirty 255 00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:00.279 six minutes. He was eight of eighteen from the floor. He fouled out 256 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:04.680 at the very end of the game. Wasn't really in foul trouble through most 257 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:08.599 of it, yeah, the last two or because they were fouling to try 258 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:12.400 to get Case State to shoot. He wasn't in foul trouble. Yeah, 259 00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:17.200 he did look pretty tired at the end. It's hard to critique a lot 260 00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:21.759 of Hunter Dickinson, especially when he puts up you know, like fifteen plus 261 00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:25.000 and ten plus, Like, but you didn't like his shoe colors or something, 262 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:29.279 Why are we going to a shoe colors are awesome? All right, 263 00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:33.119 thank you? I really do think though that, like, and I get 264 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:40.119 like the guy is getting hacked. And also this was like you played a 265 00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:44.720 very tough game against Houston h even though they won and they were definitely the 266 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:47.319 better team, Like they did have to expel a lot of energy to beat 267 00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.119 them, still to play at that high level, and you're going on a 268 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:52.839 road game against a team that wants it desperately in a tough environment, and 269 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:57.799 I get like, Hunter Dickinson gets hacked and he is like he has played 270 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:03.079 very physically on the defense. Event, there's just a weird sloppiness with him 271 00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:07.119 that I think this whole kind of has, and I think he embodies that. 272 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:11.200 He also can't make a three. That's a big problem too. He 273 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:18.680 very much so one beginning seventeen. Yeah, that's for sure. He's made 274 00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:25.559 one three since the last seconds of the game against Central Florida. And if 275 00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:30.960 you want to split on that, Hunter Dickinson is shooting. Let's see here, 276 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:36.880 Hunter Dickinson is shooting seventeen percent on threes in conference play and forty six 277 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:40.400 percent on threes in the non con Yes, that's that's what we call a 278 00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:48.559 Wayne Selden here on this show. As for game seventeen, seventeen percent from 279 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.839 three in the second in conference play. It's funny, whenever I clicked Nick 280 00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:57.200 Timberlakes three point percentage. This is all that pops up at least one brick 281 00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:00.640 for game. You can count on him. Yeah, yeah, you really 282 00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:03.920 can. Dick Andson should get the ball more than he does. He looked 283 00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:08.240 exhausted. I think another element of this game that we missed this one. 284 00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:11.160 We all pick Kansas to win, and I still think they should have won 285 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.440 it. But if you look at the historic position they were in coming off 286 00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.960 the big one over Houston, two day turnaround, go on the road at 287 00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:22.240 arrival. I know people over use the phrase where their super Bowl? This 288 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:26.680 is absolutely case State super Bowl. The k State Twitter account had a six 289 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:34.160 minute cinematic recap with all the Nicholas Cage music playing as they as they beat 290 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:38.640 Kansas at home, like it's clearly their super Bowl. They're on coming in, 291 00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:41.440 have off a game where they couldn't play worse, and then you got 292 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:45.599 game day next week for Kansas. Like it was a horrible spot for Kansas, 293 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:48.519 a spot we've seen them overtake several times, but there were a lot 294 00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:52.240 of warning signs and it's tough to win road games in the Big twelve. 295 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:56.319 Also, when Hunter Dickinson's exhausted slash doesn't get the ball enough, yeah, 296 00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.359 Diggittson. Also that man gets the like I don't want to say found like 297 00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:04.640 a total complainer here, Hunter Dickinson gets such a freaking lousy whistle, He 298 00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:10.799 gets a horrible whistle. How has Zach Eddy taken three and a half three 299 00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:15.440 and a half times as many free throws as Hunter Dickinson this year? Maybe 300 00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:21.000 Zach Edy has just found a physical largeness that actually is getting him foul calls. 301 00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:25.119 Now Dickinson is shooting less than three free throws per game, and there 302 00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:27.279 are there's at least three times a game where I'm thinking, how in the 303 00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:32.240 world is that not an and one? But then we call the cylinder foul. 304 00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:36.200 We get the zebras rushing in there to call a cylinder foul on Hunter 305 00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:41.160 Dickinson for I guess whatever, that not not letting his opponent have a clear 306 00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:45.359 space. What a great rule. Oh, we'll talk about the refs. 307 00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:48.960 Nick talk about the three point percentage, which is almost as bad. Yeah, 308 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.359 it was a very Nick Timberlake esque statistic. Three for fifteen for twenty 309 00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:56.759 percent. K State didn't shoot a great percent, but they made nine of 310 00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:00.640 them. And Tyler Perry went all hero mode down the stretch because that's exactly 311 00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:03.839 what Landon said would happen. Yeah, huh, he had been so bad 312 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.039 recently, and you have one of the least efficient players in the in the 313 00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:12.240 whole Big twelve go out and make four threes and a play that I'm not 314 00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:18.039 sure Kawhi Leonard could make where he wrapped around Hunter Dickinson and gotta flung it 315 00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:21.920 up there and it splashed through the net. You knew that would happened. 316 00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:26.799 Yeah, that is That is the tradition against Kansas. Guy who's cold gets 317 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.319 really hot against the Jayhawks. For some reason, the threes had been better 318 00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.000 because Furfey was making shots. He didn't make shots in this game and no 319 00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:37.559 one could buy a basket. Mccullor made a couple. I do not know 320 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:38.519 who made. The other one was a Harris. It was at the beginning 321 00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:41.799 of the game because Nickols on the radio host and he yelled bulls eye. 322 00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:47.880 Brian Hayney yelled bullseye because he is the Cornis the Corneas game show host that's 323 00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:51.799 ever gotten an announcing job. But yeah, they couldn't make anything. It 324 00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:55.400 was. It was frustrating and literally, just answer is Dewant hits a three 325 00:21:55.920 --> 00:22:00.880 bullseye? Ryan come up with a come up with the Ryan that he says 326 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.880 right now I'm the fly. You're good with that? Oh my gosh, 327 00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:08.799 I'm trying to think of something I've heard Brian Hainey say one time. I 328 00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:15.039 remember him talking about reciprocation because kJ assists the Dewan right after Dewan. I 329 00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:19.960 remember, Yes made me want to I was delivering door dash orders and I 330 00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:25.599 almost drove off the nearest bridge. Yeah, he he is. He is 331 00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:30.640 such a great reader in a public library. Though. Yeah, I wish 332 00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.279 he would do that instead of announced basketball games like then then we could. 333 00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:37.839 That would be a much better job for all of us. I don't think 334 00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:42.079 he's that bad kJ Adams. All right, this is my monologue. As 335 00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:45.920 I feel like we're kind of disorganized, then it's probably my fault because I'm 336 00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:48.519 just screaming at this point. Was disorganized that? Yeah, I know that 337 00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:52.319 wouldn't happen, but here we go. I want to talk about kJ. 338 00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:56.000 kJ had thirteen points on six for twelve from the floor. He had the 339 00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:59.599 game tying dunk, He had four assists, He had four steals, which 340 00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:03.319 is ridict All of those numbers excellent, But he only had two rebounds and 341 00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:07.440 forty three minutes. And I would give just about any of those numbers back 342 00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:10.640 to have a few extra rebounds, because that was a huge problem. KAYU 343 00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:14.359 was minus ten on the glass against the not so great rebounding team despite getting 344 00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:18.920 twelve from their seven foot two center Hunter Niginson. This is exactly what we 345 00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:22.319 talked about. Nobody cared when they were shooting sixty percent against Oklahoma State and 346 00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:26.880 Houston because when you make that many shots, you're flat out not going to 347 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:30.960 lose games. If Kansas doesn't make more than fifty percent of their shots, 348 00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:34.920 you're gonna need a rebound at a decent clip to have a shot. Because 349 00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:38.640 the first shot defense was really good against k State, but they let them 350 00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:44.279 get a bunch of offensive rebounds because kJ cannot rebound the ball despite starting at 351 00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:48.000 the four, you wind up in dog fights. Your four men can't rebound, 352 00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:49.759 it's not gonna go well. This was a scrappy, physical game. 353 00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:53.480 Case State looked like the more athletic team, despite kJ being the best athlete 354 00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:57.240 on the floor. Two rebounds and forty three minutes from a four men that 355 00:23:57.319 --> 00:24:03.279 can't shoot, that's an l That's that I actually think, And I'm gonna 356 00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:07.079 get a lot of venom for this because kJ played better than Kevin mccullor. 357 00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:12.680 But kJ adams output at the four hurt Kansas more than Kevin mcculler's output at 358 00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:17.359 the three. You cannot win on the road when you don't shoot the piss 359 00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:21.279 out of the basketball. If your four man can't rebound, Tell me I'm 360 00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:23.960 wrong, No, you're absolutely right. Yeah, I don't think you are 361 00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:32.720 wrong. And yep, yes, what is gonna happen next year? What 362 00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:36.880 when Floriae Madoona's here? Is he gonna get banished to the bench despite being 363 00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:40.559 able to rebound because kJ has to go out there and score ten points and 364 00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:44.079 have three rebounds in thirty seven minutes a night, like to gesture in the 365 00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:48.680 general direction of Shek Diallo, which, yeah, we saw how that went, 366 00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:53.279 and he didn't play for Jamari Traylor who couldn't rebound. Yeah, it's 367 00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:56.519 only to go ahead and bet that is what's gonna happen. I really like 368 00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:00.359 kJ and he does so many things well, but the position he plays in 369 00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:03.720 this modern age of college basketball, you can still be a really good player. 370 00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:07.640 I think he's a really good basketball player. But in current college basketball, 371 00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.400 especially in a conference like this one where all the games are close, 372 00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:15.319 your fore man has to be a threat to shoot threes. He doesn't have 373 00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.079 to be a good shooter. He can be like Trey King where he makes 374 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.680 twenty percent. But whenever he pops out on the perimeter, you got to 375 00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:26.279 put a guy out there. Nobody even toutes anywhere near kJ Adams when he 376 00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:30.000 pops out there because they know he ain't gonna shoot it. If you can't 377 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.200 do that, you better rebound to put him down low because that is going 378 00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:37.920 to take away all of Hunters one on ones. Yeah. Well, honestly, 379 00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:41.160 as why do you think he has such a hard time rebounding. It's 380 00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:45.880 a weird question. It's just not his game, and he plays through contact 381 00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:52.200 well on offense, so you would think getting physical rebounds on defense wouldn't be 382 00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:55.839 as much a struggle. I don't know. It is very strange. He's 383 00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:59.920 not playing far away from the basket, so that's not it. I think 384 00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:04.880 think part of it is Hunter Dickinson is obviously your number one a rebounder. 385 00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:11.559 McCuller always puts his nose in there, and lately Johnny Furfey has been getting 386 00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:14.799 a lot of rebounds as well. So I do wonder if part of it 387 00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:21.240 is just like deference to guys that he knows are better rebounders. Yeah, 388 00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:23.759 I think an account for the fact that he has like two reals. So 389 00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:27.519 last year there was no Hunter. There was no Hunter Dickenson. Last year 390 00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:33.920 kJ was your five and he averaged what, let's see, he averaged four 391 00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:37.359 rebounds a game. Last year he's averaging Wilson is probably the best rebounding that 392 00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:42.200 Kansas ever had. Would Kansas be better if kJ played the five and Dickinson 393 00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:48.880 played the four? Is that weird? Well, that's tomato tomato, though 394 00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:53.400 I don't think that actually changes anything strategically. No, Yeah, they play 395 00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:57.000 the way they play feels a little bit more like that. I don't know. 396 00:26:57.079 --> 00:27:00.880 This is just such a strange This is just such a strange thing for 397 00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:04.640 Kansas to be in. But I think next year, I think the only 398 00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:10.000 way to avoid this is to have three elite shooters at the other positions. 399 00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:15.160 And obviously they don't have three elite shooters at the other positions. You're sacrificing 400 00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:18.920 a lot with your fore man not being able to rebound or score further than 401 00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:22.799 three feet from the goal. Let me, I'm gonna run something by you 402 00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:26.200 that I hope doesn't happen, but I could see one of two things. 403 00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:30.079 Do you think either of these two things has a chance to happen in that 404 00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:41.079 either one Florie Badunga does not end up coming to Kansas or two kJ Adams 405 00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:48.240 transfers. Because that's three starting caliber caliber H four slash fives. I've seen 406 00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:52.200 some people speculate that Hunter Badunga's commitment means Hunter Dickinson's gone. I do not 407 00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:59.359 believe that's the case. I think Hunter Dickinson, Yeah, yes, he's 408 00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:02.799 gonna make eight two millions a season for like his entire college career, and 409 00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:07.240 he's making He's making multiple millions of dollars in college this year. That's way 410 00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:11.559 more than he's getting on a two way contract in the NBA. Yeah, 411 00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:15.400 I think he's not really an NBA player in my opinion. I think that 412 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:19.480 what happened was Zach Edy his best shot. Yeah, I think Dickinson is 413 00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:22.720 here. Even you think you just you just move on, you know, 414 00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:27.480 from college. But Zachi Edi I obviously hasn't taken that memo. I don't 415 00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:30.000 know what you do with kJ. I think Butdongo will be here, but 416 00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:33.720 I don't think he's gonna play a whole lot, like I saw someone on 417 00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:37.160 Twitter compare it to like in two thousand and eight, Kansas had Durell Arthur, 418 00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:40.799 they had Darnell Jackson, and they had Sasha Khan and Bill self managed 419 00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:42.440 to split all their minutes up. The most that any of those guys played 420 00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:47.319 minutes for sport though one, yes, two. The most any of those 421 00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:49.920 guys got minutes wise was twenty four. kJ and Hunter are playing in the 422 00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:55.799 mid thirties, and you could I could cut that down, especially if Doua 423 00:28:56.039 --> 00:29:00.440 is in fact very good immediately, like if there's not a huge Develt curve 424 00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.759 and he can just go out, I could see them. You know. 425 00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:08.880 It's one thing you got Parker Brown as your only actual like backup big. 426 00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:14.319 It's another thing if you have a really talented five star that really can play 427 00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:18.400 at a high level quickly, maybe you don't have to play those guys that 428 00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:21.480 much because you can give them a rest. You can play a little bit 429 00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:25.400 different two big sets. Maybe, But I don't know. And see that's 430 00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:27.319 the thing with the reference back to like those guys with Jackson, Arthur and 431 00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:33.839 Kahn is like one in that era, playing with two bigs was like every 432 00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:37.680 day practice. So you had to you had three guys for two spots instead 433 00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:41.079 of really like it kind of is three guys for two spots, but it's 434 00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:45.400 really like three guys for one and kJ is like trying to play this like 435 00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:52.240 hybrid stretch for slash more traditional for right that era you had Marcus Morris and 436 00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:56.039 then Mark Keith Morris as your four man like they were they were rebounding gods, 437 00:29:56.079 --> 00:30:00.200 like that's how they played. He played two rebounders. Yeah, exactly, 438 00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:03.319 So like it's that's kind of weird. Plus that was not in the 439 00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:08.400 like transfers obviously happened, but not like this by even the slightest margin. 440 00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:14.960 So like I think you run the risk now. Of course Hunter will be 441 00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:19.559 gone after next year at the latest. Uh. But like, does Florey 442 00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:23.519 want to go to a program where he might sit the bench for most of 443 00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:27.680 a season if he wants his career like that, I don't know, right, 444 00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:30.680 But then again, if he just loves Kansas and he really doesn't just 445 00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:33.960 want to play with like Bill self and he wants to play in Allenfield House, 446 00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:37.559 I don't see that. Maybe. I mean, obviously he committed for 447 00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:41.680 a reason for some reason, probably an il money. Uh, maybe he 448 00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:45.599 maybe he just likes it, Maybe he genuinely likes the program more than other 449 00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:48.519 programs. That could be I guess though. Yeah, I agree with Nick. 450 00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:51.359 I don't think that's necessarily likely in the current climate. But I don't 451 00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:52.880 know. We're talking about next year's problems, but I do think it's interesting. 452 00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:59.640 Well, three bigs next to one Harris, what could go wrong if 453 00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:03.400 they play kJ at the three we're going to bring back the nineteen seventy five 454 00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:11.480 embrace. Yeah, yeah, if al Marco starts next year, Land and 455 00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:15.000 I might be done. Like if I've been to join Nick on that, 456 00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:21.079 I'm not doing this express But if only Kansas could be as good as as 457 00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:23.119 Jerome tang Is an overtime, because then they would never lose. He's eleven 458 00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:27.240 and oh, he's two and oh against Bill self in overtime, which SEL's 459 00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:32.559 got a great overtime record, So that's being being winless against anybody is rare. 460 00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:36.640 Kansas won twenty three of the first twenty five matchups at bram Let's Coliseum, 461 00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:38.480 but they're just six and five there in their last eleven trips, which 462 00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:41.480 dates back beginning with the trip with the Wiggins team, and I think that 463 00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:45.759 KU fans are a little hard on K State sometimes they obviously care about this 464 00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:48.240 game mord than KU fans do. But man, Bramdas is good. That's 465 00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:49.519 a great environment. I don't care if it's only like that for one day 466 00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:53.279 a year that that was a that was a lowed arena. It always is. 467 00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:56.319 It was a fun place to watch a basketball game. Just wish it 468 00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:57.920 had ended up a little differently. All right, we gotta start moving a 469 00:31:57.960 --> 00:32:01.960 little bit quicker through this. Let's talk about Dewan Harris Land and tell me 470 00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:06.240 about how not a lot of analysis here, but man, he was really 471 00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:09.799 good. Yeah, he was good. Too bad they wasted the showing just 472 00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:13.799 their second loss when Dewan Harris scores ten or more points. He had fifteen, 473 00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:16.039 making this just the second time that he scored. Like what I just 474 00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:20.559 said, Harris was five to ten from the floor, four to fourth the 475 00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:22.240 line, and he had eight assists to just three thrownovers. He had two 476 00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:27.000 steals in there as well in forty three minutes. Yeah, yeah, I 477 00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:29.799 mean, it really is a shame because this is the kind of performance that 478 00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:31.599 we've been begging Dewan Harris to put out, and he finally did and they 479 00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:36.319 lose. I don't think that I ever would reach I didn't think I would 480 00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:38.559 ever reach Dewan Harris apologist stage. But I had a couple of people in 481 00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:43.640 the mentions blaming Harris for this loss that I couldn't help but go after and 482 00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:45.960 say why why do you? How could you watch that game with eyes that 483 00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:50.039 work and think Harris was the problem. And someone's like, well, they 484 00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:52.160 know he's not gonna shoot, so all he can do is pass. It 485 00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:54.680 is only trade him. Like, okay, if you blame the point guard 486 00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:59.160 that had fifteen points and eight assists and didn't miss a free throw, if 487 00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:01.640 he's responsible for the overtime loss, I give up. I can't win that 488 00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:06.720 argument. Harris was Kansas's second best player. He was superb in this game, 489 00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:09.519 and they wasted a stellar outing from him. Nick somebody who did not 490 00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:13.839 have a stellar second half. This is probably the guy we need to talk 491 00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:16.599 about. So I'll give you the floor and then we can do some analysis 492 00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:21.799 on yish. Yeah. Kevin McCullough seems to be getting the most criticism for 493 00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:24.079 this loss. He had fifteen points in all, six for eighteen from the 494 00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:28.359 floor, really adding to the trope that Landon says he's a volume shooter. 495 00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:32.720 I think he is, and in Apocalyptic Apocalyptic one for five at the free 496 00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:37.160 throw line, with every miss being a more consequence than the one before it, 497 00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:40.160 six rebounds, six assists, and four steals and played forty three minutes. 498 00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:45.720 What do you make of his night, Landing, Yeah, I think 499 00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:53.079 this is probably the first time all season that I think Kevin mccullor bears some 500 00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:58.759 responsibility for a loss. Yeah, I think that is true, mostly because 501 00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:05.480 of one for five, but also finally a like missing ten shots. You 502 00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:08.079 felt it for the first time because he's had plenty of games his last four 503 00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:12.239 games, even he was five to seventeen five to eighteen, was seven for 504 00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:15.719 eight on one and then six of eighteen, And he's had a few more 505 00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:19.639 games like that previously as well, where he's shot a pretty low percentage, 506 00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:23.719 even though he's still had good statistical nights. Yeah, I think first half 507 00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:27.519 he was still pretty good. He had some great moments, he scored some 508 00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:31.960 uh second half, Yeah, couldn't buy a lot, miss some big free 509 00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:36.880 throws, two awful turnovers, one in a tie game where he just lost 510 00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:39.800 the dribble, the other when they're down a possession and he steps on the 511 00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:45.199 heel. Yeah, that's a mistake you just cannot have. Yeah. I 512 00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:51.440 don't even think he was like awful, but it is his performance stood out 513 00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:54.280 in ways that it hadn't before in losses, and obviously not in a good 514 00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:59.360 way. So yeah, I think I think probably the first disappointing mccolor performance 515 00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:01.840 all season to be. That's what it is right there. He hit the 516 00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:05.960 three early in the second half and had ten points at that point, had 517 00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:08.880 a positive shooting percentage and was two for two from three, and then it 518 00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:12.840 just went downhill. Guys played a lot of minutes. I blame the tired 519 00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:17.119 legs for the bad shooting percentage because he struggled. I don't have a drop. 520 00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:21.159 That's just music. But if you guys listen carefully, you can hear 521 00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:25.840 Jalen Wilson's music. It's kids Kevin mccullor. He is a less talented Jalen 522 00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:30.760 Wilson. He is a less talent scorer James Wilson. Yep, he's a 523 00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:35.800 less dynamic Jalen Wilson. So you're gonna feel these moments more. He's not 524 00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:38.519 as talented to go get his own bucket as Wilson is while still being very 525 00:35:38.519 --> 00:35:42.719 good, so he's going to be more prone to the long scoring droughts, 526 00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:45.519 but still if the worst game he's played this year is fifteen point six rebounds 527 00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:49.719 six as his four steals, like that goes to show just how good he 528 00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:52.960 is as a player. It's really hard. He didn't play well down the 529 00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:55.639 stretch of this game. The free throws were brutal. He could have tied 530 00:35:55.679 --> 00:35:59.119 it with a one on one with twenty seconds left and overtime, and then 531 00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:01.519 who knows what happens, but missed the front end and then the refs call 532 00:36:01.559 --> 00:36:07.039 the foulf because the Case State player fell down. But overall, first real 533 00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:10.920 true bad half Kevin mcculluch has played that has also lined up with Kansas losing, 534 00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:15.039 because he was really good against Iowa State and he was really good against 535 00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:19.599 UCF. Just just this was the one where it all came together. Who 536 00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:21.960 is the Big twelve player of the year right now? I think it might 537 00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:28.239 be Hunter Dickinson. Now, yeah, Dickinson might have a slight lead, 538 00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:31.039 but it's very close, I'd say I it really depends on how these seasons 539 00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:36.679 finish. I really like mccullor and I love how much he cares. He 540 00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:39.119 has not played well at Case State. Remember he didn't score and fouled out 541 00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:43.360 in the game last year and then this year just just fought out, didn't 542 00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:45.639 have it in the second half. He gets five days to rest up. 543 00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:49.719 Hopefully he'll be better for Baylor. And unless we see a trend where he 544 00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:52.039 does definitely play hero ball a little too much, he definitely does try to 545 00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:59.440 take some shots that will m That's also true. That's also true. And 546 00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:00.880 we seems we have this conversation every year, and Neck, I'm glad you 547 00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:04.920 brought that up when someone on Twitter is like, why is mccullar shoot so 548 00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:07.199 much? Like, look around, who else is gonna shoot? Furfy can't 549 00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:13.599 make anything, Harris doesn't take a lot of volume shots. Hunter Dickinson's just 550 00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:15.119 flat out not getting thrown the ball. What do you want the bench to 551 00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:19.079 come in? You want Timberlake and Jackson come in? Who else is going 552 00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:22.039 to shoot? At the end of the day, somebody has to pull the 553 00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:25.880 trigger in thirty seconds or the horn sounds like if it's not McCuller, who 554 00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:30.280 is gonna shoot? Yeah, this is why the most dangerous Kansas teams and 555 00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:36.159 just generally speaking, the most dangerous college basketball teams. Even if you have 556 00:37:36.559 --> 00:37:42.639 a really really good center, you usually have to have a really good guard 557 00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:49.320 or two that can generate their own offense apropos of no one else. Uh 558 00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:52.519 and Kansas does have a shortage of that this year, and I Kevin mccullar 559 00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:54.840 is the one guy that really attempts that on his own to go make it, 560 00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:58.760 and he's good at it. But he's very good to get at getting 561 00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:01.360 his own shot. He's a very very good shot getter. Just hasn't played 562 00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:05.679 well in two of the last three games. Like that's that happens. He's 563 00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:07.400 still the, if not the best, the second best player on the conference. 564 00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:12.039 Johnny Furfey had his first poor showing in a while, going for just 565 00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:15.400 four points. Oh for four on threes that hurt. If he makes one 566 00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:17.599 of them, I think they win in regulation. He played thirty nine minutes 567 00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:21.920 and gave Kansas essentially nothing at the two spot, which is a problem thirty 568 00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:24.079 nine minutes, a whole fifth of your minutes to get four points, four 569 00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:28.719 rebounds, one assistant, four fouls. He was also picked on defensively that 570 00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:30.760 got better against Houston, saw him call for a lot of fouls. I'm 571 00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:35.440 not sure that they were all legitimate, Like, yep, that's definitely a 572 00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:37.599 foul moment. But such as life in the Big twelve, we're not concerned 573 00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:40.760 about Furfey. Right, tough environment, he'd played, well, shooters are 574 00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:44.320 gonna have off nights. This was one of them. No, I think 575 00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:45.880 that I don't get the criticism, if there are any, I don't know. 576 00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:49.079 I don't I don't know what the social media buzz was, but I'm 577 00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:52.920 assuming people were complaining about Johnny Furfey. I don't think he deserves any criticism. 578 00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:55.400 This guy stepped up for what four or five straight games after he entered 579 00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:59.960 the starting lineupiece, but nothing but sensational for Kansas. You have one off 580 00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:02.280 night in particularly, like you said, he got he got the shaft really 581 00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:06.360 when it came to fouls in this game. So I think you got to 582 00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:07.960 give him a pass and just hope that this does not turn into a slump. 583 00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:13.320 Yeah, and going back to this previous point, even this is this 584 00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:15.360 is the I know he's still very young, developing player, so you gotta 585 00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:17.360 give him a lot of slack and a lot of grace I think on this, 586 00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:22.719 But the big hole currently in his offensive game is that he doesn't really 587 00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:25.519 look to create a shot, or maybe he just can't create his own shot 588 00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:30.360 right now. And if that's a weakness in your game and you are having 589 00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:34.440 a cold night, it's going to be pretty dry. M yep. And 590 00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:38.199 Furfy's not great at hunting his own shot inside the arc. And Case State 591 00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:42.920 plays really good interior defense, like Case State is a top twenty Ken Palm 592 00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:47.000 defensive team. Offensively, they've had some problems defensively, they're as solid as 593 00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:50.840 anybody in this conference not named Houston, which we saw how long to de 594 00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:53.679 defense was. So they're as solid as anybody defensively, So tough place to 595 00:39:53.719 --> 00:40:05.000 play it happens. Let's talk about the ref I thought they sucked balls. 596 00:40:05.079 --> 00:40:08.280 What say you? Uh? Yeah, they weren't good though I never really 597 00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:14.360 enjoyed talking about the refs, but yes, they were bad. Kansas Kansas 598 00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:17.000 State had a turnover that was so out of this world while that the refs 599 00:40:17.039 --> 00:40:21.000 assumed they couldn't have done it and said it was out onto one Harris. 600 00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:25.440 They had some pretty poor moments, for sure. They missed what as a 601 00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:32.039 cylinder foul? What's a cylinder foul? I couldn't. I don't know if 602 00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:36.800 any industry can get taken out by AI. Can we just have a robot 603 00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:40.480 generated that it's like one hundred percent accurate even with judgment calls, because I 604 00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:45.840 am tired of seeing these guys in these zebra stripes who are out there and 605 00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:51.960 completely just ruin the pace of the game. They sucked. Instead, all 606 00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:57.639 TV shows and art will be yeah I generated well. Instead, commercials when 607 00:40:57.639 --> 00:41:01.400 they're at the monitor will be a I generated as well. True, that's 608 00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:06.320 true. We see more refs. So the other day, uh, the 609 00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:12.440 Baylor athletic director said, quote quote, the league needs to get better when 610 00:41:12.519 --> 00:41:15.760 we think about our officiating after a game. That's what the eighty said. 611 00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:19.840 That was the one statement. Now, I'm gonna ask you what did the 612 00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:22.840 Big twelve do. Did they put out a statement and say we agree we 613 00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:27.840 will get better or did they find him twenty five thousand bucks. I'm gonna 614 00:41:27.880 --> 00:41:31.599 go with Alex. I'll take answer numb V please, that's correct. They 615 00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:37.079 did. They're not getting fits. They're oh, you're fired. I'm not 616 00:41:37.159 --> 00:41:43.559 doing Brian Haney on this show like I R. Yeah, that's what he 617 00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:49.559 was born to do. And the price of that was three nine nine balls. 618 00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:54.920 Oh, I wish he would go do any game show. I like 619 00:41:55.039 --> 00:41:59.559 Brian Haney as a person. He is a good asag like green eggs in 620 00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:05.000 him, you like them Sam. If Kansas ever gets a player named Sam, 621 00:42:05.239 --> 00:42:08.800 he's gonna say that, undoubtedly, and then you don't have a great 622 00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:12.519 night, and you'd be like going to the commercial break. He's gonna be 623 00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:15.320 like Sam is getting his green eggs and ham to night. And then Greg 624 00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:22.039 Gurley will say something creepy on top of Haney. Haney will be like Johnny 625 00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:25.840 Furpy more like Johnny for three right Greg, and Greg will go, I'm 626 00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:29.840 just glad he didn't fall down and scuff up that handsome face. All the 627 00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:34.599 girls on campus would be just devastated. The girls obviously not me, not 628 00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:39.039 me, only girl, not me. It makes me long for the freaking 629 00:42:39.159 --> 00:42:43.679 friend for Shilla days. I swear cheez Jay, Billis and Bob Was it 630 00:42:43.719 --> 00:42:45.559 Bob? No? It was it was Seanby and Billis in this game. 631 00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:52.400 Thank goodness. It was a It was a good It was a good announcing 632 00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:57.440 set. Don't uh low key hot take. I don't really like King McClure. 633 00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:02.800 Guy, he did the Yeah, I know he is. He did 634 00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:07.360 the ESPN Plus game against West Virginia. He's the guy that kept calling him 635 00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:14.360 kJ Allen. Yeah. Where did he play? Okay? Yeah, yeah, 636 00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:17.559 yeah, that's right. He got baptized by by Josh Jackson a few 637 00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:22.800 times, I think, and now he does now he's the announcer. Yeah. 638 00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:27.039 The bench, the bench was again, I know that shocking. Parker 639 00:43:27.079 --> 00:43:29.760 Brown was actually pretty good. He didn't score, but he had four rebounds 640 00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:34.480 in ten minutes. I noticed, well, Nick Timberlake, what of if 641 00:43:34.480 --> 00:43:37.280 it wasn't for the ref he got his steal and it bounced off the ref. 642 00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:43.599 It ruined a breakaway dunk. Something I noticed about Parker Parker's rebounding position 643 00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:46.639 is what Landon wants Hunter Dickinson's rebound position to be. He's a good rebounder, 644 00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:51.719 yes, it actually is. He's just much much worse at basketball. 645 00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:57.239 I won't have some previous year's takes of something Akain to like Mitch Lightfoot's actually 646 00:43:57.280 --> 00:44:00.599 better than Yudoka as a bookie if you think of who he said that. 647 00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:05.440 But yeah, rebounding wise, yes, please, Actually, Nick Timberlake did 648 00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:08.599 nothing. As we just talked about, el Marco Jackson hoisted a hideous off 649 00:44:08.599 --> 00:44:14.039 the backboard fourteen foot pull up j and then made a layup in five otherwise 650 00:44:14.159 --> 00:44:17.039 utterly worthless minutes. Jamary McDowell bricked a three at the horn, which was 651 00:44:17.079 --> 00:44:20.800 fitting. He gave nice homage to everybody else on the roster with that. 652 00:44:21.159 --> 00:44:27.239 The bench had two points. Not good, it's that's a problem. Bill. 653 00:44:28.079 --> 00:44:30.440 Bill self said today that he still wasn't too discouraged. He said, 654 00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:34.199 we normally play eight or nine guys, like he said, we have enough. 655 00:44:34.760 --> 00:44:42.840 But everybody was diving in a physical body, remember whenever. So I 656 00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:45.519 gave you guys an over under four and a half bench points for the Jayhawks 657 00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:50.679 against Houston. Oh yeah, I love when you auto play an ad ESPN 658 00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:54.440 you jackasses. Uh, but they had seven against Houston because Parker Brown had 659 00:44:54.440 --> 00:44:58.840 a three. Parker Brown hitting a three is the only reason that over a 660 00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:00.840 four and a half against used in cashed. Yeah. I don't know if 661 00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:04.920 i'd bet the over on four and a half against Baylor. No, I 662 00:45:05.119 --> 00:45:08.519 know you can't. You absolutely can't, maybe Timberlake, because Baylor's gonna hit 663 00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:15.599 threes. So hold on to your but final takeaways on this game, here's 664 00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:17.920 mine. Yes, I'm tired of watching them lose on the road. It's 665 00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:22.760 frustrating they're losing games they normally win. But based on this coach's track record, 666 00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:27.480 and based off of this team's talent, and based off how talented this 667 00:45:27.559 --> 00:45:31.559 league is, where the worst teams are still top six ACC and PAC twelve 668 00:45:31.599 --> 00:45:35.960 teams, I'm not too concerned about it costing them a long term. I 669 00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:38.519 believe you'll see them surge. I believe. I still think they're gonna win 670 00:45:38.599 --> 00:45:42.000 like seven of their last nine games or something like that. I do. 671 00:45:42.079 --> 00:45:45.599 I still think they're gonna be just fine, and whenever they enter the NCA 672 00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:49.679 tournament will be feeling really good about their chances. I'm not too concerned that 673 00:45:49.719 --> 00:45:52.519 this is who they are, and if it is, everyone's like, well, 674 00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:54.559 they don't play the tournament games now field House, Well they don't play 675 00:45:54.599 --> 00:45:58.719 them on the road either. Like something's gotta give. That's my take. 676 00:45:58.840 --> 00:46:02.000 Nick, not too concerned. Yeah, I'm not super concerned. It is 677 00:46:02.039 --> 00:46:05.880 disappointing. Like Ryan said that, they need to start winning some of these 678 00:46:05.960 --> 00:46:08.400 road games, and it's not getting any easier with love It coming up, 679 00:46:08.559 --> 00:46:13.800 Waco coming up, and going back to Houston. But and the Lloyd Noble 680 00:46:13.880 --> 00:46:17.159 Center, Sir, House of Horrors. Something's got to give. This team's 681 00:46:17.159 --> 00:46:21.280 got to figure it out on the road. They've got to find contributions from 682 00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:22.800 Cage Adams on the glass. They can't keep getting it out rebound it. 683 00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:25.519 They need to slow down the turnovers. Those are a huge problem this season 684 00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:30.679 as well. And uh yeah, guys need to step up more consistently. 685 00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:36.119 I want more Dewan Harris fifteen point outings. I want more consistency from Johnny 686 00:46:36.119 --> 00:46:37.920 Furfy, which he's all, to his credit, has been. But when 687 00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:42.119 these pieces are clicking together, they're pretty much unstoppable. But the problem has 688 00:46:42.159 --> 00:46:45.079 been can the puzzle pieces fit together? And right now it seems like on 689 00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:49.800 the road it's when you like, when you finish the thousand piece puzzle and 690 00:46:49.880 --> 00:46:53.639 the one that the one piece you're missing is covering the missing piece is on 691 00:46:53.679 --> 00:46:57.559 the best part of the puzzle and you just can't find it and it ruins 692 00:46:57.599 --> 00:47:02.760 the whole thing. So yeah, not bad Landon final thoughts, I think 693 00:47:04.079 --> 00:47:06.920 on the pessimist side of things, I think, if you would have told 694 00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:13.679 me there's a game where Hunter Dickinson has twenty one to twelve and the other 695 00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:19.480 three best players on the team all go for thirteen plus in a road game. 696 00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:22.119 I don't think they should ever lose that game, and yet here we 697 00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:27.159 are because the rest of the roster scored six, which is pretty tough. 698 00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:32.119 The positive side, I still think, like we talked about earlier, the 699 00:47:32.159 --> 00:47:38.000 ceiling on this team remains extremely high, and I don't think there's more than 700 00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:43.679 like maybe two or three teams. Definitely two preduing Yukon. You could debate 701 00:47:43.760 --> 00:47:49.079 a couple others, and they beat one of them. They did. I 702 00:47:49.239 --> 00:47:53.199 think that this team's ceiling remains very high, higher than most other teams in 703 00:47:53.239 --> 00:47:57.679 the country. There is consistency issues. I would like to see that get 704 00:47:57.760 --> 00:48:00.320 worked out. Eventually. You're gonna have to win more than one road game 705 00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:05.440 against the worst team in the conference. Uh, but Ryan's right, you 706 00:48:05.480 --> 00:48:07.360 don't play tournament games on the road. Yeah, you don't play an allulefield 707 00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:09.880 house, but you don't have to go into Bramwich Coliseum or Hilton Colt And 708 00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:15.000 they get up for the top competition too. Like I'm curious, played much 709 00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:17.199 better against the better team. They do play down. I think the playing 710 00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:21.079 down also has to do with the road struggles quite a bit, right, 711 00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:23.119 what it's done. You if they won at Waco and at love it because 712 00:48:23.159 --> 00:48:25.320 they get up for the better teams. I know, not at all, 713 00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:29.320 yeah, not even a little bit. But first they gotta get past the 714 00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:31.920 Waco team at home. So let's talk all about it. Hope you enjoyed 715 00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:36.400 a longer than normal recap and all you can eat night here on the Inside 716 00:48:36.440 --> 00:48:43.360 the Paint Podcast. Let's rock all right before we get to Big twelve games. 717 00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:46.679 We're gonna do even ask RCB, because our buddy at Dick Underscore Taser 718 00:48:46.760 --> 00:48:52.199 knows us so well. He says, well, everyone, it's been forty 719 00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:58.639 five minutes of falling skies, self loathing and of course damn Sounders. So 720 00:48:58.760 --> 00:49:04.679 let's have some fun, shall we. Is boog Schanbi really just motivational speaker 721 00:49:04.760 --> 00:49:09.320 Dan Foley living in a van down by the river. Farley lives question Mark, 722 00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:15.519 and he does he looks like Chris Farley. I didn't ever think about 723 00:49:15.559 --> 00:49:17.360 that, but he kind of does, doesn't he. It's saying glasses and 724 00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:23.679 everything. Yeah, yeah, that's what That's why you're your number one forever, 725 00:49:23.800 --> 00:49:28.000 mister Wayne Kerr. That's why we can't do our shows without our Wayne 726 00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:36.800 Kerr, Right, who can do a show without a Wayne Kerr twelve games? 727 00:49:37.440 --> 00:49:39.280 All right, Well, our favorite team ever is back on track. 728 00:49:39.400 --> 00:49:44.559 Number five. Houston seventy nine, Oklahoma State sixty three. We knew it 729 00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:47.360 would be a blowout. It was a blowout. The Cougars bounce back with 730 00:49:47.400 --> 00:49:52.400 twenty three points from Jamal shed They also held Oklahoma State to as many baskets 731 00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:59.320 as they had turnovers, which was seventeen. Kelvin Samson had quite the ejection. 732 00:49:59.559 --> 00:50:04.920 It was great. Uh yeah, I think I think, you know, 733 00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:07.960 I think we should be allowed. Kelvin Sampson earned his ejection. That's 734 00:50:08.119 --> 00:50:12.960 exactly what he was going for. Oh yeah, I think we absolutely should 735 00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:17.159 normalize criticizing the refs. We cannot be given out twenty thousand dollars fines for 736 00:50:17.239 --> 00:50:23.039 criticizing very criticizable people. Yeah, if you if you missed the Calvin Sampson 737 00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:30.199 had almost said the word that Nick Road there something else ejection in case you 738 00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:34.840 missed it. I don't need to. I definitely don't need this. Can 739 00:50:34.880 --> 00:50:38.440 would not have enjoyed broadcasting that. No, they they so Houston's killing Oklahoma 740 00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:42.519 State and they got called for nine more fouls I think than the Cowboys or 741 00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:45.920 maybe seven. It was a lot more uh and Oklahoma State got away with 742 00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:47.880 a blatant push off the center caught it. I caught an outlet pass and 743 00:50:47.920 --> 00:50:52.760 just shoved the Houston center in the back and dunked it. And Calvin Sampson 744 00:50:52.840 --> 00:50:54.679 runs to the other side of the court like this is the opposite side of 745 00:50:54.719 --> 00:50:58.719 the court, and then where the Houston benches, and he is as red 746 00:50:58.880 --> 00:51:02.280 as his team's jersey. He's pointing and screaming at the officials and it was 747 00:51:02.519 --> 00:51:06.920 terrific. We see now in a Big twelve coach get ejected in back to 748 00:51:06.960 --> 00:51:09.760 back weeks. I don't think Bill self has ever been ejected now that I 749 00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:15.000 think about it, which is impressive considering the amount of teas that he has 750 00:51:15.039 --> 00:51:19.079 gotten. Yeah, I think he's been ejected, hasn't he? I don't 751 00:51:19.079 --> 00:51:22.840 think he has. I cannot think of any time he got ejected. He's 752 00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:27.480 gotten very close several times, but I don't think he's ever actually gotten tossed. 753 00:51:27.679 --> 00:51:30.159 It will happen eventually, even though maybe not calm Bill now because Bill's 754 00:51:30.199 --> 00:51:34.840 Bill's heart doesn't work so good anymore, so he's he's calmer on the sidelines. 755 00:51:35.159 --> 00:51:39.000 Number thirteen, Baylors seventy nine, number twenty three, Texas Tech seventy 756 00:51:39.360 --> 00:51:44.320 three. Nick order has been restored where we thought these teams would be. 757 00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:47.119 Yeah, Baylor's gone three wins, three losses, three wins in their first 758 00:51:47.199 --> 00:51:50.960 nine league games. So guess what that means. Three straight losses? Good 759 00:51:50.960 --> 00:51:53.159 for Kansas? Right? They got twenty one points from ray J. Dennis 760 00:51:53.199 --> 00:51:57.480 and they're typically elite three point shooting offense, made just five threes. Is 761 00:51:57.480 --> 00:52:02.760 that a bad? No? Noelhouse twelve is Tech has lost three in a 762 00:52:02.880 --> 00:52:06.119 row and will likely fall out of the Poles next week, and they'll be 763 00:52:06.159 --> 00:52:09.800 unranked and favorite at home against the top seven Kansas team. Yeah, and 764 00:52:09.880 --> 00:52:16.800 that's something Lubbock, owaits. If any team was ever poised to just load 765 00:52:16.960 --> 00:52:23.119 up threes against Kansas, it was Baylor. Yeah. And considering how well 766 00:52:23.639 --> 00:52:27.920 everybody that's not Baylor has shot the ball from three against Kansas this year, 767 00:52:28.000 --> 00:52:31.800 watch them go three for twelve. That'd be great. I don't know it's 768 00:52:31.840 --> 00:52:36.880 gonna happen, but I'm im pretty commident three make at least three or four. 769 00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:39.679 Yeah, that Baylor. Baylor is starting to look better Landon at the 770 00:52:39.679 --> 00:52:44.280 beginning of the uh, really, throughout conference play, you've been pretty adamant 771 00:52:44.320 --> 00:52:46.800 Baylor's not in that Kansas Houston tier. I think that they very well may 772 00:52:46.840 --> 00:52:50.239 get there, and we kind of have to talk about Iowa State being right 773 00:52:50.280 --> 00:52:52.440 there too. Those are clearly the top four teams in the league right now, 774 00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:55.719 Houston, Iowa State, Baylor, Kansas in some order. Yeah, 775 00:52:55.960 --> 00:53:01.360 that's that is true. I think it's more just I think Baylor is maybe 776 00:53:01.440 --> 00:53:06.000 not. They're not what they have been the last several years. I think 777 00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:09.480 they're definitely a step worse. Why because they lost a case State in overtime 778 00:53:09.519 --> 00:53:15.119 where Jerome Tank never loses if they win that. I just don't think they've 779 00:53:15.320 --> 00:53:17.800 wanted a high as like dominant a level, which I know is really hard. 780 00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:21.039 This conference is really, really, really good. So maybe they are. 781 00:53:21.159 --> 00:53:22.920 Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe maybe they're as better or as good, maybe 782 00:53:22.920 --> 00:53:28.280 they're better, who knows. I think they haven't quite hit the eye test. 783 00:53:28.360 --> 00:53:32.199 For me, Well, this team, this team, we didn't expect 784 00:53:32.199 --> 00:53:36.000 to be there, and they are hitting the eye test. Number fourteen Iowa 785 00:53:36.000 --> 00:53:39.400 State seventy, Texas sixty five. The Cyclones are tied for second, a 786 00:53:39.400 --> 00:53:43.679 half game behind Houston for the league league get six and three after winning this 787 00:53:43.760 --> 00:53:49.000 game. Milan Momsilievich had thirteen to lead the team. Are they a threat 788 00:53:49.039 --> 00:53:55.519 to win the Big Twelve? What do you think, Nick, I'm not 789 00:53:55.519 --> 00:54:00.519 ready to say that yet. I don't think here so Iowa. They do 790 00:54:00.559 --> 00:54:02.519 avoid the return game at Allen, but they still have to go to Houston. 791 00:54:02.559 --> 00:54:07.400 You gotta think that's probably an l. They have to go at Cincinnati, 792 00:54:07.719 --> 00:54:09.039 they have to go at Central Florida, and they have to go at 793 00:54:09.119 --> 00:54:13.199 Kansas State. We'll give them at least one loss there, and then they 794 00:54:13.239 --> 00:54:16.559 play BYU Oklahoma West Virginia at Texas Tech TC at home. There's at least 795 00:54:16.559 --> 00:54:22.559 a loss there which would get them I guess yeah, that'd be six losses. 796 00:54:22.880 --> 00:54:24.079 So yeah, I don't think twelve and six is gonna win this league 797 00:54:24.159 --> 00:54:28.360 unless it's like a three way time. Yeah, twelve and six I don't 798 00:54:28.360 --> 00:54:31.039 think wins it out right for sure, But they're much improved from where we 799 00:54:31.079 --> 00:54:35.559 thought they'd be. Tj Alzberger is making his case for a top three coach 800 00:54:35.599 --> 00:54:38.360 in this conference. You know who's not is Rodney Terry. Texas got twenty 801 00:54:38.400 --> 00:54:42.039 eight from Dylan to sue, but turn it over fourteen times, which the 802 00:54:42.079 --> 00:54:44.960 side of the game Iowa State took way less shots they didn't need to make 803 00:54:45.000 --> 00:54:46.760 more, or they didn't need to take or Iowa State took way more shots 804 00:54:46.800 --> 00:54:51.440 because they got a lot off turnovers. The Longhorns are one in four in 805 00:54:51.519 --> 00:54:53.960 league home games, and that one win was at the buzzer against Baylor. 806 00:54:54.480 --> 00:54:59.960 So yeah, Texas is four and six. They are looking up at seventy 807 00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:04.119 five percent of this conference despite having the richest athletic department of all of them. 808 00:55:04.280 --> 00:55:07.840 And I cannot believe they gave Rodney Terry a five year contract to stand 809 00:55:07.840 --> 00:55:10.840 on the sideline with his Rodney Terry glasses and struggle to figure out that you're 810 00:55:10.880 --> 00:55:14.280 not supposed to eat the crayons they give you at the restaurant, but you're 811 00:55:14.280 --> 00:55:16.760 supposed to draw on the table with them. Dylan de Sue's having a fantastic 812 00:55:16.800 --> 00:55:20.559 season. I just want to say that he deserves to be on a better 813 00:55:20.599 --> 00:55:24.039 team. So's Dylan Mitchell, and so is Max Asmis. They have guys 814 00:55:24.119 --> 00:55:29.800 on that team. Yeah, somehow they're bad. It just doesn't doesn't make 815 00:55:29.840 --> 00:55:30.800 sense. Oh wait, they're Texas and this is always how it is. 816 00:55:31.000 --> 00:55:34.519 That makes it How it works. They ought to start arch Manning. He's 817 00:55:34.519 --> 00:55:37.519 not getting any time on the football team anytime soon. He's not gonna start 818 00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:40.440 next year either. He will, he just won't be a Texas Oklahoma eighty 819 00:55:40.519 --> 00:55:46.719 two, number twenty one BYU. Six these six well guys BYU. Yes, 820 00:55:46.800 --> 00:55:50.880 before you ask. They are still ahead of Kansas and Ken palm Land. 821 00:55:50.880 --> 00:55:52.760 And I know that's shocking to believe, but they are. Yeah. 822 00:55:53.000 --> 00:55:57.000 I don't know what to make of that. They're ninth in the Big Twelve, 823 00:55:57.000 --> 00:56:01.440 but eighth in the net. They at the Lloyd Noble Center because the 824 00:56:01.480 --> 00:56:07.199 defense couldn't stop anything. Twenty points from Jjon McCollum for the Sooners. Every 825 00:56:07.199 --> 00:56:10.639 Oklahoma game I don't care about because it's Oklahoma and they are the most boring 826 00:56:10.679 --> 00:56:15.239 program in the conference. Actually that might be Fincinnati, but Oklahoma's Let's see, 827 00:56:15.440 --> 00:56:17.599 let's see how well we remember Oklahoma, like we all have decent en 828 00:56:17.639 --> 00:56:22.239 f memories. Name the four teams Oklahoma's beaten Big Twelve play This will take 829 00:56:23.360 --> 00:56:28.840 exactly because they're Oklahoma, though. What they won they beat obviously b YU, 830 00:56:29.079 --> 00:56:35.000 that's one. Did they beat I think, yeah, they beat Iowa 831 00:56:35.039 --> 00:56:37.519 State? I think did they really at it was the first game. I 832 00:56:37.519 --> 00:56:40.679 think, yeah, they beat Iowa State at home. I don't know who 833 00:56:40.719 --> 00:56:44.920 else they beat. There, you go, that's your that's your answer. 834 00:56:45.119 --> 00:56:50.480 Like just no one cares at all. Big twelve standings Houston first place, 835 00:56:50.519 --> 00:56:52.679 seven and three, half a game back, tied four second, Iowa State 836 00:56:52.719 --> 00:56:59.519 and Baylor six and three in fourth place. Saw why the bill was six 837 00:56:59.559 --> 00:57:04.639 and four. Fifth place are Texas Tech and TCU, who will forever get 838 00:57:04.639 --> 00:57:07.559 confused for each other. They're both five and four in seventh. Oklahoma and 839 00:57:07.679 --> 00:57:15.360 k State four and four, ninth BYU and Cincinnati in UCF all new members 840 00:57:15.360 --> 00:57:19.920 of the conference are four and five and way down here is hilariously Texas they 841 00:57:19.920 --> 00:57:24.920 are in twelfth place at four and six and playing better basketball, but still 842 00:57:25.239 --> 00:57:30.920 way down in the standings. Thirteenth West Virginia they are three and six and 843 00:57:30.960 --> 00:57:35.760 then all by their lonesome Mike Boyton is better be looking for any some new 844 00:57:35.840 --> 00:57:39.679 jobs, because he's done. It's over. They're two and eight. Oklahoma 845 00:57:39.719 --> 00:57:44.639 State is so I work for one of I work for the for one of 846 00:57:44.719 --> 00:57:47.159 the cities here in local government, and I saw a couple job openings they're 847 00:57:47.239 --> 00:57:51.320 hiring summer lifeguards. I wonder if Mike Poyt would be interested in that. 848 00:57:51.400 --> 00:57:54.159 He's not gonna have that than coaching Oklahoma State. Yep, he's gonna need 849 00:57:54.159 --> 00:57:58.000 something to spend his summer doing because he's not gonna be wearing orange and black 850 00:57:58.119 --> 00:58:00.840 and going to airplane, going on airplanes to watch high school recruits. That's 851 00:58:00.920 --> 00:58:08.719 not gonna happen other games. I gonna say that, I thought that. 852 00:58:09.039 --> 00:58:21.000 I didn't want to say that. That's that's okay. The biggest upset in 853 00:58:21.039 --> 00:58:24.039 the country was not Bill number three, get it until five seconds ago. 854 00:58:24.039 --> 00:58:28.840 And now, yeah, what happens in the notes, What happens in the 855 00:58:28.840 --> 00:58:34.920 notes stays the notes. That's never going to be true. Number three u 856 00:58:34.960 --> 00:58:37.800 n C lost that home to Clemson, something that is always gonna be true. 857 00:58:37.800 --> 00:58:40.440 As Hubert Davis sucks just the second time ever Clemson's won. Theyre in 858 00:58:40.480 --> 00:58:45.119 like sixty five chances worse than Johnson. Eighty to seventy six was a score 859 00:58:45.199 --> 00:58:49.639 in Chapel Hill. The Tar Hills scored a shot just thirty seven percent for 860 00:58:49.719 --> 00:58:52.079 the floor. They couldn't get enough stops down the stretch to stop a middling 861 00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:58.320 offense. Did North Carolina peak too early. It feels like they might have 862 00:58:59.320 --> 00:59:02.320 Duke is the only chance to win that league other than North Carolina because they 863 00:59:02.320 --> 00:59:08.800 are getting ready to play like Wake Louisville and somebody else that's donkey balls and 864 00:59:09.360 --> 00:59:13.960 all in a row like, so they may have a chance. But yeah, 865 00:59:13.960 --> 00:59:15.599 North Notre Dame. It's Notre Dame. They beat Notre Dame by a 866 00:59:15.599 --> 00:59:21.320 lot last night. Yeah, but North Carolina I think has already beaked and 867 00:59:21.360 --> 00:59:23.920 I don't trust that coach at all, even though he is five and one 868 00:59:23.920 --> 00:59:28.280 in the NCAA tournament. R J. Davis can be pretty streaky, though 869 00:59:28.280 --> 00:59:31.039 he's been very good this year. Yep number one. Yukon has won eleven 870 00:59:31.039 --> 00:59:35.039 in a row, taking down Butler at home by nine. They are eleven 871 00:59:35.039 --> 00:59:37.920 and one in league play and are running away with the Big East. They 872 00:59:37.920 --> 00:59:40.960 also have a bye week this weekend, but actually it's just Georgetown, which 873 00:59:40.960 --> 00:59:45.360 is equivalent to a bye week. But they're gonna win. They're gonna win. 874 00:59:45.400 --> 00:59:49.320 They will not take a loss bye week, Georgetown, You're not losing. 875 00:59:52.480 --> 00:59:54.719 Tied for the second and Big East is Seaton Hall in Marquette number seven. 876 00:59:54.719 --> 00:59:58.199 Marquette, who have won six in a row. At the bottom is 877 00:59:58.239 --> 01:00:00.800 poor, awful, terrible, lowly depau who's three and twenty. They played 878 01:00:00.800 --> 01:00:07.280 Georgetown, the two teams have combined. I'm may be mistaken, Yes, 879 01:00:07.400 --> 01:00:13.280 YOUNA say Georgetown's got a shot at some point those two teams should play at 880 01:00:13.280 --> 01:00:15.559 halftime of the Final four. I think that'd be kind of fun. John, 881 01:00:15.639 --> 01:00:19.360 And let's get a cal Louisville going on the other side. Hey, 882 01:00:19.400 --> 01:00:22.679 Louisville started. Louisville's won a couple of games recently, Sir, they may 883 01:00:22.679 --> 01:00:24.920 be playing themselves out of that tournament. I actually don't know if that's true. 884 01:00:24.920 --> 01:00:29.280 I'll look it up. John Calipari ended his two game home losing streak 885 01:00:29.679 --> 01:00:31.119 by winning on the road, so I guess technically the streak still going. 886 01:00:31.159 --> 01:00:34.840 But whatever, he ended the streak. Yeah, Louisville hung one hundred on 887 01:00:34.920 --> 01:00:37.400 Florida State the other day. They won two league games. I think that 888 01:00:37.519 --> 01:00:42.639 takes you out of the equation here. Anyway, Kentucky, they rolled Vanderbilt 889 01:00:42.679 --> 01:00:45.840 on the road one hundred and nine to seventy seven. Maybe these teams can 890 01:00:45.840 --> 01:00:51.119 be your replacement maybe Missouri. Maybe Missouri's your replacement for for Louisville, because 891 01:00:51.119 --> 01:00:58.280 the SEZ has three truly terrible basketball teams. Vanderbilt, Arkansas and the absolutely 892 01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:02.719 ungodly horrendous Missouri Tigers are oh and ten, they lost at Holmta, Texas. 893 01:01:05.000 --> 01:01:07.760 He just hates to see that. They've won one game since November twenty 894 01:01:07.800 --> 01:01:14.000 sixth, I think, and it was against Central Arkansas, not even real 895 01:01:14.119 --> 01:01:19.440 Arkansas. On number twelve, Auburn rolled over number sixteen Alabama. Man, 896 01:01:19.440 --> 01:01:22.159 they were in the wrong place at the wrong time ninety nine eighty one to 897 01:01:22.199 --> 01:01:27.039 move into a first place tie with the Crimson Tide. Number fifteen South Carolina 898 01:01:27.119 --> 01:01:30.360 also in first place in the SEC. Out of nowhere. Great season. 899 01:01:30.360 --> 01:01:32.800 I think they're like twenty and three. Yeah, and they beat Tennessee and 900 01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:37.280 they beat Kentucky and they've they've had a really good year. Yeah they're good. 901 01:01:37.360 --> 01:01:39.679 Yeah. On number sixth, Tennessee beat a very bad LSU team to 902 01:01:39.719 --> 01:01:45.199 keep pace in second Nick who wins the league? Auburn. Auburn is a 903 01:01:45.239 --> 01:01:49.559 real deal. Ooh, that's a good take. I think I still think. 904 01:01:49.920 --> 01:01:52.800 I kind of think Auburn might be the best team. They they are. 905 01:01:53.159 --> 01:01:57.400 They also played the worst schedule. Yeah, they're also they were like 906 01:01:57.719 --> 01:02:01.679 they're they've played a really bad non con schedule, so it's kind of hard 907 01:02:01.719 --> 01:02:05.239 to know exactly how good they are, but they're winning these games. They 908 01:02:05.239 --> 01:02:13.320 beat Alabama by eighteen. That's ken Pum's darling right now, anybody's turn. 909 01:02:13.840 --> 01:02:19.639 I think it's my turn. Herrenduz seven and fifteen Michigan team upset number eleven 910 01:02:19.679 --> 01:02:22.239 Wisconsin at home with seventy two to sixty eight. Further in the argument that 911 01:02:22.280 --> 01:02:29.199 the Big Ten is total incomplete buns, they should take Produces Big Ten Champs 912 01:02:29.239 --> 01:02:31.239 Trophy and give it whoever finish his second in the Big Twelve at this point, 913 01:02:32.239 --> 01:02:36.159 Yeah, you guys like that idea, and they should take Arizona's Pack 914 01:02:36.199 --> 01:02:38.639 twelve trophy and give it to whoever finishes third. I'm gonna skip down here 915 01:02:38.639 --> 01:02:43.519 and rita the blurb that talks about anything fun happen on Thursday, because I 916 01:02:43.559 --> 01:02:46.920 wrote these notes. Yes, something very fun happened on Thursday. Number eight, 917 01:02:46.960 --> 01:02:52.960 Arizona and Utah played a three overtime game that the Wildcats wound up winning 918 01:02:52.239 --> 01:02:57.880 one hundred and five to ninety nine. Utah was down sixteen and a half. 919 01:02:58.159 --> 01:03:02.239 Roared Back played an extra fifteen minutes and lost. Caleb Love. Caleb 920 01:03:02.280 --> 01:03:07.119 Love had the most Caleb Love stat line every in nineteen points on five of 921 01:03:07.239 --> 01:03:12.239 twenty. Yeah, that feels right. Uh the is it play Larson? 922 01:03:12.440 --> 01:03:15.119 Is that? Is it play? Or is it pele or how whatever you 923 01:03:15.119 --> 01:03:19.000 pronounce his name? He's a baller. He had twenty seven for of the 924 01:03:19.039 --> 01:03:22.440 Wildcats. Boy, the Utes made thirty nine baskets and lost and had fifty 925 01:03:22.440 --> 01:03:28.920 seven rebounds. Geez, that's fine. Alsos were Caleb Love misses? Yeah, 926 01:03:29.199 --> 01:03:32.360 that's how it feels. Boy. I can't wait to pick two seed 927 01:03:32.400 --> 01:03:36.079 Arizona to go deep in the tournament. I can't see how they're ever going 928 01:03:36.159 --> 01:03:39.519 to lose to a ten seed this year. Klang clang air ball. Yeah, 929 01:03:39.599 --> 01:03:43.199 hey, speaking of that's what you hear a lot of in the WCC 930 01:03:43.400 --> 01:03:47.880 landon. That's true. Saint Mary's maybe the worst team a little bit, 931 01:03:49.079 --> 01:03:53.440 Marry eighty four to forty three. Does anyone know who that team is? 932 01:03:53.800 --> 01:04:00.280 I do? Actually, yes, it's specific if it is six and nineteen 933 01:04:00.360 --> 01:04:05.360 overall and the last team last time they beat a team that wasn't D two 934 01:04:05.519 --> 01:04:12.440 or Mississippi Valley State was November twenty fourth. That was Thanksgiving. All sad 935 01:04:12.440 --> 01:04:15.639 as that the Saint Mary's is ten and zero in the WCCN isn't even ranked. 936 01:04:15.239 --> 01:04:18.159 They have two game leads on the ZAGAB with six games left. The 937 01:04:18.199 --> 01:04:23.880 bulldogs twelve West Coast Conference titles in a row streak appears to be on life 938 01:04:23.880 --> 01:04:26.760 support as they'll need to help even if they can win at Saint Mary's in 939 01:04:26.800 --> 01:04:30.039 the regular season finale at ten and Olanda, and I feel like they deserve 940 01:04:30.079 --> 01:04:34.320 your best, Oh Mary, Oh Mary, there you go. Yeah. 941 01:04:34.320 --> 01:04:39.000 I like that as you get, as you get older, the highest octave 942 01:04:39.000 --> 01:04:42.280 you can reach has gotten a little bit lower, so that that does indeed 943 01:04:42.320 --> 01:04:45.920 prove that we're moving in the right direction. Nice work. Detroit Mercy is 944 01:04:45.960 --> 01:04:50.119 an action tonight against Wright State. Let's see if they wont Let's see did 945 01:04:50.119 --> 01:04:55.880 they avoid oh and twenty five? No, they didn't. They lost ninety 946 01:04:55.920 --> 01:05:01.599 two to eighty five. But honestly, even though they are, they were 947 01:05:01.599 --> 01:05:05.320 a nineteen point underdog to Wright State, who was thirteen and eleven. So 948 01:05:05.480 --> 01:05:10.079 and they only lost by seven. That's not bad all things considered. Mississippi 949 01:05:10.119 --> 01:05:14.280 Valley State also hasn't won. Yeah, who's gonna blank first? It's the 950 01:05:14.400 --> 01:05:20.840 ultimate off ranked teams to lose since the last pod, beginning with number three 951 01:05:20.880 --> 01:05:26.880 North Carolina who lost to Clemson. Number four, our buddy Bill they lose. 952 01:05:28.480 --> 01:05:31.440 Number eleven Wisconsin lost to Michigan. Wow. I think Kansas had the 953 01:05:31.559 --> 01:05:35.159 least bad loss of any of those three. That two of those are dreadful. 954 01:05:35.440 --> 01:05:40.480 Number sixteen Alabama lost to Auburn as landon said wrong place, wrong time 955 01:05:41.400 --> 01:05:45.039 outam of nineteen Creighton they lost to Providence. Number twenty one BIU lost at 956 01:05:45.039 --> 01:05:49.000 Oklahoma. Number twenty two Utah State, who you didn't know was ranked lost 957 01:05:49.039 --> 01:05:54.440 to Nevada, who you didn't know beat Utah State. And number twenty three 958 01:05:54.440 --> 01:05:58.679 Texas Tech they lost to Jayhawks next opponent, the Scott Drew lad Baylor Bears. 959 01:05:59.480 --> 01:06:02.760 Lamar won the MVP, and ESPN is telling me I can't wait to 960 01:06:02.800 --> 01:06:06.639 see how well his playoff stats hold up after winning such a nice regular season. 961 01:06:06.639 --> 01:06:14.760 A word, oh speaking up here. They are so everybody who's not 962 01:06:14.800 --> 01:06:17.480 a Chiefs fan has to just hate the Chiefs. They hate the Chiefs, 963 01:06:18.440 --> 01:06:23.679 and I get it. Landing kind of does too. And those don't like 964 01:06:23.760 --> 01:06:27.159 dynasties and like interesting things. They're also losing their fandom of the Chiefs. 965 01:06:27.639 --> 01:06:30.440 Dynasty fatigue is a real thing, Sir, but I have a bad feeling 966 01:06:30.440 --> 01:06:34.280 that if you don't like the Chiefs dynasty, pending on mahomes leg injury, 967 01:06:34.440 --> 01:06:36.880 you may have a while to go. Yeah, I think they're gonna win 968 01:06:36.880 --> 01:06:41.519 like eight super Bowls. Well, i'd like to see three. They can 969 01:06:41.559 --> 01:06:45.119 get to three, I'll be a very happy person. It'll it'll help take 970 01:06:45.199 --> 01:06:48.320 some of the sting off whenever Bill inevitably loses to you know, a nine 971 01:06:48.400 --> 01:06:53.519 seed in the in the second round. Yeah, yeah, that happened last 972 01:06:53.559 --> 01:06:58.400 year exactly at Ari Norell underscored the third Did I officially say ask RCB? 973 01:06:58.760 --> 01:07:01.199 Nick just yided himself off off his balcony, So it'll just be landing a 974 01:07:01.280 --> 01:07:06.239 night today. Why can't frankfurt Schilla pronounce Kevin mcculler's name correctly? He even? 975 01:07:06.280 --> 01:07:11.559 Did he ever give an explanation? Yeah, it's a stick, yeah 976 01:07:11.599 --> 01:07:15.039 oor Houston. Yeah. Well, when you can't ride the tallest roller coaster 977 01:07:15.239 --> 01:07:19.000 in the in the land at at six Flags, you have to make up 978 01:07:19.000 --> 01:07:21.719 for it by being petty in other ways. And that's that's what that's what 979 01:07:21.760 --> 01:07:25.400 friends do. When you have to stand back to back with hobbits to prove 980 01:07:25.400 --> 01:07:28.760 you're taller than them. Yes, you gotta. Yeah, you gotta stick 981 01:07:28.800 --> 01:07:31.760 to the man somehow, it's a must at Drew Watton. When is the 982 01:07:31.840 --> 01:07:36.039 last time a Bill self coach team blew two double digit away game leads? 983 01:07:36.400 --> 01:07:42.039 Oh boy, I'm thinking I'm normally the person that's good at this. The 984 01:07:42.079 --> 01:07:45.960 twenty fifteen team Blue uh at to eight point leads in the second half to 985 01:07:45.960 --> 01:07:51.039 Oklahoma State in case State, I remember that they normally don't lose multiple big 986 01:07:51.079 --> 01:07:55.440 twelve road games in that kind of fashion ever, So, I mean, 987 01:07:56.000 --> 01:07:58.559 and then you have teams like the nineteen team that I don't think ever really 988 01:07:58.559 --> 01:08:01.840 got up. It's hard to remember games where they led by double digits in 989 01:08:01.880 --> 01:08:05.440 the second half and lost like ever. Those just don't happen very much. 990 01:08:05.840 --> 01:08:09.639 I mean, do you have any off off hand that ring a bell that 991 01:08:09.679 --> 01:08:13.559 they just they that they were in control of and then suddenly weren't Missouri and 992 01:08:13.639 --> 01:08:19.840 twelve. Yeah, not recently, that's for sure. Not by double digits 993 01:08:19.880 --> 01:08:24.319 that I can think of. No, it's been. They had a big 994 01:08:24.399 --> 01:08:27.439 lead against Baylor in the year they won the championship and blew it. But 995 01:08:27.840 --> 01:08:31.640 as far as the Oklahoma road game with Udoka and the yeah, that's a 996 01:08:31.640 --> 01:08:34.279 good one. They were in control of that. I don't know if they're 997 01:08:34.399 --> 01:08:38.960 ten. They were up close to it and they should have won. Yeah, 998 01:08:39.079 --> 01:08:43.479 that's that's a good call. That's probably that team lost four conference road 999 01:08:43.479 --> 01:08:47.039 games or three conference ro games or something. That's that's your there's probably something 1000 01:08:47.039 --> 01:08:51.760 in there. Yeah. At it's just a picture of Donald Trump's mugshot and 1001 01:08:51.760 --> 01:08:55.920 he's wearing a Jayhawk hat and it says if me and you were in a 1002 01:08:56.000 --> 01:09:00.439 room together, what would we do? Oh? I think I try to 1003 01:09:00.439 --> 01:09:05.600 get out of the room. Would I would want if I could have if 1004 01:09:05.600 --> 01:09:09.319 I was in a room with Trump, I would want him to talk about 1005 01:09:10.000 --> 01:09:13.079 the people I don't like in college basketball and give them a nickname. I 1006 01:09:13.079 --> 01:09:17.039 need a Trumpian nickname for guys like Scott Drew, who I've already provided a 1007 01:09:17.079 --> 01:09:20.520 Scott Drew, a Trumpian nickname for Scott Drew, But that would be I 1008 01:09:20.520 --> 01:09:26.800 would ask Trump to give me a nickname for guys like Calvin Samson and you 1009 01:09:26.840 --> 01:09:29.239 know those guys that could be kind of fun. I think I would ask 1010 01:09:29.279 --> 01:09:31.000 him for twenty million dollars and just see what he says and then try to 1011 01:09:31.079 --> 01:09:34.960 leave. I mean, he referred to one million dollars as a very small 1012 01:09:34.960 --> 01:09:40.119 loan in nineteen sixties dollars. So surely twenty million now would be a very 1013 01:09:40.159 --> 01:09:44.920 small loan, I would hope. So at Newport's smoking? Why is our 1014 01:09:45.000 --> 01:09:48.000 pinch so? And then a a not very nice word. It's bad because 1015 01:09:48.039 --> 01:09:54.239 our TERRYA Morris is bad, sir, that's your answer. Yeah, that's 1016 01:09:54.279 --> 01:09:58.319 pretty true. Brown's been fine. Uh, it just true, as are 1017 01:09:58.319 --> 01:10:02.399 pretty true? Linen, Is it fair? That's pretty true? This is 1018 01:10:02.399 --> 01:10:05.760 a good one. This is This one's being debated in the in the comments 1019 01:10:05.800 --> 01:10:11.680 at ghost yes AFU would you rather be sticky or itchy for the rest of 1020 01:10:11.720 --> 01:10:19.159 your life? Itchy? I think sticky? I add how stick I ask 1021 01:10:19.399 --> 01:10:24.079 clarification, how sticky is sticky? Like? Oh sorry, I stuck to 1022 01:10:24.119 --> 01:10:27.159 you for a second. There happens all the time, sticky or gorilla glue? 1023 01:10:27.159 --> 01:10:30.600 Sticky? And uh? The response was one hundred degree day and peeling 1024 01:10:30.600 --> 01:10:33.439 your leg off a chair sticky. I'm taking that over itchy? Are you 1025 01:10:33.520 --> 01:10:40.239 kidding me? YEA, yeah, I think that if I was, if 1026 01:10:40.279 --> 01:10:45.600 I was legitimately itchy, I would like never sleep. Hmm, let's I 1027 01:10:45.840 --> 01:10:47.039 get that. I almost say that's fair, And then I tried to not 1028 01:10:47.119 --> 01:10:50.560 say that's fair. Ghost. Yes, Fu says I would start abusing drugs 1029 01:10:50.560 --> 01:10:53.720 to help me sleep, which is what the cool people do. Anyway, 1030 01:10:53.720 --> 01:11:00.319 that is true, but I wouldn't. Yeah, I would rather be sticky. 1031 01:11:00.439 --> 01:11:02.640 I think that seems like an everybody else problem. Then I went gon 1032 01:11:02.720 --> 01:11:08.680 to just like I'm I'm sticking to a leather chair because I'm very moist. 1033 01:11:08.920 --> 01:11:15.880 Then sure, it's not so bad. Hate that. Hate that boy. 1034 01:11:15.439 --> 01:11:18.680 I don't mind the word moist. But for some reason that the the the 1035 01:11:18.760 --> 01:11:23.600 concept of sticking to a leather chair because you're moist, it is just I 1036 01:11:23.600 --> 01:11:27.720 don't know, like seeing the things with all the holes, how it freaks 1037 01:11:27.720 --> 01:11:30.359 some people out, like like right right, yeah, imagine yourself just so 1038 01:11:30.520 --> 01:11:39.039 moist that you're sticky is possibly upsetting. That's somebody, make it stop at 1039 01:11:39.039 --> 01:11:43.479 Preston Skirtsik. What hurts worse today Tyler Perry's body from the hefty screen dickens 1040 01:11:43.479 --> 01:11:45.920 and said, or Arthur Calumba's face for taking that chest pass to the face 1041 01:11:46.000 --> 01:11:49.399 less than five feet away, or bonus option number three, my pride because 1042 01:11:49.399 --> 01:11:54.560 we lost to a bad Kansas State team. I can't stay or Ryan Psyche 1043 01:11:54.640 --> 01:11:58.920 because he's imagining being so moist that you're sticky. Really wish we'd stop. 1044 01:11:58.920 --> 01:12:00.560 If you don't stop, I'm gonna pull that PTO package back, sir. 1045 01:12:00.880 --> 01:12:03.840 You don't want to mess with the boss. That's gonna be infinitely less money 1046 01:12:03.920 --> 01:12:08.239 and yeah, same amount somehow at the same time, I wonder what number 1047 01:12:08.239 --> 01:12:13.920 that's applicable power zero if you ever, if you ever want proof that athletes 1048 01:12:14.079 --> 01:12:17.479 and regular people are not the same, it's because Tyler Perry got blasted by 1049 01:12:17.600 --> 01:12:23.479 Hunter Dickinson's entire body and fell to the floor and still walked away and some 1050 01:12:23.520 --> 01:12:27.760 of the some of the adjectives were using. Then they just had to be 1051 01:12:27.800 --> 01:12:32.600 like, but what if I made it worse? At show me Hawk? 1052 01:12:32.920 --> 01:12:38.039 For the twenty game Big Twelve Conference regular season schedule, do you think they'll 1053 01:12:38.039 --> 01:12:41.119 have Kansas play teams like Baylor, Houston, Arizona, Case State, Iowa 1054 01:12:41.199 --> 01:12:45.199 State twice? Well? What a twenty game league schedule? How many teams 1055 01:12:45.199 --> 01:12:48.600 are gonna be in the league? Sixteen? Yeah, so there's fifteen. 1056 01:12:50.079 --> 01:12:55.399 Yeah, so they're playing fifteen teams at least once. And what that would 1057 01:12:55.479 --> 01:13:00.960 be? What five teams they played twice? Six? I mean they can't. 1058 01:13:00.199 --> 01:13:04.760 They can't play all of the teams like the good teams twice. They're 1059 01:13:04.760 --> 01:13:10.840 probably gonna try to get a Baylor or a Houston or an Iowa State twice 1060 01:13:11.319 --> 01:13:15.479 because they know people are gonna want to see that case states protected otherwise. 1061 01:13:15.600 --> 01:13:16.359 Yeah, I mean, there's only so much you can do at a certain 1062 01:13:16.399 --> 01:13:19.279 point. I'd love to see a home and home of Arizona. That's the 1063 01:13:19.279 --> 01:13:24.479 first one I want. It'll happen eventually, Yeah, I bet yet happens 1064 01:13:24.520 --> 01:13:27.159 next year. That feels like one they want. They can't give them the 1065 01:13:27.159 --> 01:13:32.279 six toughest matchups. There's gonna be My guess is they'll get Oklahoma State because 1066 01:13:33.119 --> 01:13:36.000 home and away or something. Yeah, they'll get It'll probably be pretty random. 1067 01:13:36.000 --> 01:13:39.000 I don't know if there'll be an algorithm to it or if they'll just 1068 01:13:39.079 --> 01:13:42.840 choose the games they want based on sexiness, but we'll we'll find out soon 1069 01:13:42.960 --> 01:13:45.760 enough. It feels like the bigger the league schedule, the earlier they release 1070 01:13:45.800 --> 01:13:48.079 it. Another one from showe Me Hawk not a Kansas question. If Kyle 1071 01:13:48.159 --> 01:13:53.079 Neptune gets fired this offseason, who are some of the candidates you think would 1072 01:13:53.119 --> 01:13:57.359 get consideration for the Villanova job? I mean the guy that should get called 1073 01:13:57.399 --> 01:14:00.079 is Dustin May, the guy who's the Florida Atlanta coach. He should have 1074 01:14:00.159 --> 01:14:05.399 capitalized off his run last year. Yeah, that's a good one. Maybe 1075 01:14:05.439 --> 01:14:10.760 a sneaky one is like Buzz Williams. He's yeah, had underwhelming success at 1076 01:14:10.800 --> 01:14:13.399 A and M, but that's just kind of an m's whole deal. I 1077 01:14:13.399 --> 01:14:16.039 don't know if he'll leave for for Villanova, but Tommy Lloyd would be my 1078 01:14:16.159 --> 01:14:19.960 first call if Bill self retired, the Arizona coach who was a Gonzaga assistant 1079 01:14:19.960 --> 01:14:23.399 for years. He's made them a juggernaut. I don't know if you're leaving 1080 01:14:23.439 --> 01:14:28.479 Arizona for Villanova. Scott Drew would be actually my real first call. Yeah, 1081 01:14:28.520 --> 01:14:30.920 Scott Dre'd be great. Yeah, those are all the guys Bay though, 1082 01:14:31.359 --> 01:14:33.800 No, I don't think he is either. He might have Kansas or 1083 01:14:33.880 --> 01:14:39.680 Kentucky calls, maybe the truly like Big four Duke North Carolina, Kansas, 1084 01:14:39.760 --> 01:14:43.680 Kentucky. Maybe he considers it. I don't think he'll be for Villanova though. 1085 01:14:44.239 --> 01:14:46.279 Last one from show me Hawk, what players would you have on an 1086 01:14:46.279 --> 01:14:51.479 all Kansas NBA teams? Starting five? Only active players? There's only like 1087 01:14:53.680 --> 01:15:00.159 twelve active Jayhawks in the NBA right now anyway, Embeid obviously, but he's 1088 01:15:00.199 --> 01:15:04.319 Wiggins genuinely has to be there because if it's only active players, there's no 1089 01:15:04.319 --> 01:15:09.159 one better than him at the two. Yeah, and Wiggins isn't playing very 1090 01:15:09.159 --> 01:15:13.079 well this year, but he's you know, he's he's still there. Uh. 1091 01:15:13.359 --> 01:15:15.520 The Morris Twins still like, can we can we do this? Mark 1092 01:15:15.600 --> 01:15:21.840 mak sure, Okay, I'm trying to think honestly as Christian Brown. Yeah, 1093 01:15:23.399 --> 01:15:26.880 Kelly Uber, I know he hasn't played most of the year, but 1094 01:15:27.039 --> 01:15:30.279 he's he's he was pretty okay this season though, he was pretty solid before 1095 01:15:30.279 --> 01:15:32.399 he's been out. Yeah, he's been back to he's been playing and he's 1096 01:15:32.439 --> 01:15:36.680 averaging fourteen games. So yeah, that's probably the answer. Okay, now 1097 01:15:36.680 --> 01:15:41.760 we get to the important one at Ryan underscore Landrath. If Nick was in 1098 01:15:41.840 --> 01:15:46.319 a Saw film and a strawberry blonde with tattoo, arm sleeves, all Bible 1099 01:15:46.479 --> 01:15:54.960 verses and a passion for professional baseball was set to die in ninety seconds unless 1100 01:15:54.960 --> 01:16:00.840 he retrieved a key all during the second half of a Texas TC you ESPN 1101 01:16:00.880 --> 01:16:04.640 Plus matchup. How quickly would Nick be able to pull the ESPN plus stream 1102 01:16:04.760 --> 01:16:13.279 up on his iPad, hence ignoring the key. ESPN plus would never function 1103 01:16:13.399 --> 01:16:17.960 better. And a saw like a setting like those abandoned warehouses. I can't 1104 01:16:17.960 --> 01:16:21.239 get saw to work on the art saw. I can't get ESPN plus to 1105 01:16:21.279 --> 01:16:25.479 work on the TV that's three feet from my Wi Fi router. It ain't 1106 01:16:25.640 --> 01:16:28.800 you ain't You're taken longer than ninety seconds to pull up that stream in that 1107 01:16:28.840 --> 01:16:34.039 warehouse. But are you the man behind the curtain? As the answer, 1108 01:16:34.640 --> 01:16:39.760 what would obviously be yes, you would yeat the iPad with the Texas game 1109 01:16:39.760 --> 01:16:43.920 out to try to save the girl. But Nick would probably be like and 1110 01:16:44.000 --> 01:16:48.720 Landa be like that's fair, this is a pretty good game. Several years 1111 01:16:48.760 --> 01:16:53.439 ago me might have said something so absurd, Well, Ken, Ken, 1112 01:16:53.479 --> 01:16:55.600 can we wait to start the time or toll the game's over? Like? 1113 01:16:55.920 --> 01:16:58.800 I know Texas is up by twelve, but this could get close. I 1114 01:16:58.840 --> 01:17:02.920 really need to adequately talk about this on my podcast, saw Man at cam 1115 01:17:03.000 --> 01:17:06.039 Lipple Golf. What's the most degenerate sports bet Nick has ever made? And 1116 01:17:06.079 --> 01:17:10.119 why was it? When he bet fifty dollars on a November Kansas by thirty 1117 01:17:10.159 --> 01:17:14.640 spread? Forgot about that? Do you remember the game that you bet on, 1118 01:17:14.760 --> 01:17:17.479 like Kansas winning by a bunch? Was it, Dayton? I don't 1119 01:17:17.520 --> 01:17:24.039 think I did that. I think you did November my November fifty dollars. 1120 01:17:24.039 --> 01:17:26.880 The only November fifty dollars bet I've ever made was the one that made me 1121 01:17:26.920 --> 01:17:30.920 eight hundred dollars off of Kansas plus sixteen hundred dollars to win the national championship. 1122 01:17:30.920 --> 01:17:33.000 And no, you bet on a huge Kansas spread. Or maybe it 1123 01:17:33.039 --> 01:17:35.760 wasn't Kansas, it was a big spread. I don't remember. I don't 1124 01:17:35.760 --> 01:17:42.560 really have done that. I don't know happened. Not for sure that happened. 1125 01:17:42.640 --> 01:17:45.359 Nick is the best gambler of all of us. Just ask for his 1126 01:17:45.439 --> 01:17:47.680 twenty twenty two Did I ever? Did I ever tell that casino story on 1127 01:17:47.680 --> 01:17:51.399 this podcast? I think you did? How was your like, your your 1128 01:17:51.439 --> 01:17:55.399 first dollar spent at a casino and you wont Yeah, I wasn't gonna spend 1129 01:17:55.399 --> 01:17:57.600 any money, and I just like, okay, you know, I might 1130 01:17:57.600 --> 01:18:00.000 as well. I put twenty dollars in the ATM. I'm inhaling all this 1131 01:18:00.199 --> 01:18:05.000 nicotine, I may as well gamble the first penny slot I hit and it 1132 01:18:05.720 --> 01:18:10.159 won me six hundred dollars. I went to the counter, cashed out, 1133 01:18:10.199 --> 01:18:13.079 and walked out of or didn't walk out of the sceno. My friend was 1134 01:18:13.119 --> 01:18:15.000 actually losing about five hundred at the blackjack table, so it kind of even 1135 01:18:15.039 --> 01:18:20.199 out that night. But that's my only experience in Have you been back State 1136 01:18:20.239 --> 01:18:27.119 sponsored gambling hall? Have you been back since? No? No? Yeah, 1137 01:18:27.199 --> 01:18:31.960 that's the way to do it. Final question, are sick? Yes? 1138 01:18:32.000 --> 01:18:35.640 That's correct. Was this the most concerning loss of the season? Completely 1139 01:18:35.680 --> 01:18:39.560 getting the quick turnaround? It's being a rival game and not trying to be 1140 01:18:39.680 --> 01:18:43.119 dramatic, but watching the game, Kansas State did not play well and Kansas 1141 01:18:43.199 --> 01:18:47.640 still couldn't beat them despite playing average, I think the continuing on. At 1142 01:18:47.680 --> 01:18:50.760 least when West Virginia beat US, they were shooting lights out and playing pretty 1143 01:18:50.760 --> 01:18:54.199 well. Kansas State threw a pass off a guy's face when he was trying 1144 01:18:54.239 --> 01:18:57.119 to set a screen. That's how bad they were the case they game. 1145 01:18:57.319 --> 01:18:59.680 For any other team in the Big Twelve, yes would be the worst loss. 1146 01:18:59.720 --> 01:19:02.279 But for Kansas we know how seriously Kansas State takes it. It wasn't 1147 01:19:02.319 --> 01:19:08.880 overtime. I think the worst Kansas loss of the four is still Central Florida 1148 01:19:09.000 --> 01:19:13.159 biggest lead, probably the worst team of those four two. If I'm guessing, 1149 01:19:14.159 --> 01:19:16.960 I would say based on how the other team played, I could understand 1150 01:19:17.000 --> 01:19:20.079 that take, because yes, I actually do think kay State played the worst 1151 01:19:20.119 --> 01:19:24.920 game of any of the four teams that Kansas has lost to on the road. 1152 01:19:24.960 --> 01:19:29.319 But I agree you CF is overall the worst team and Kansas had that 1153 01:19:29.359 --> 01:19:32.920 game put away instantly and lost. Yeah, by a lot like eleven to 1154 01:19:33.000 --> 01:19:36.840 k State is a good lead, but not instamountable in that building against that 1155 01:19:36.920 --> 01:19:42.199 team. Considering who you're playing sixteen against Central Florida is curtains ninety eight percent 1156 01:19:42.199 --> 01:19:45.640 of the time and they blew it. Yeah. Yeah, we have ascarsp's 1157 01:19:45.760 --> 01:19:53.119 Twitter hashtag ascarcb o dope speed run today because we are running low on time. 1158 01:19:53.439 --> 01:19:58.600 College game days coming to Lawrence number thirteen Baylor at number four Kansas Saturday, 1159 01:19:58.600 --> 01:20:02.560 February tenth, five o'clock on the clock ESPN. The Bears seventeen and 1160 01:20:02.720 --> 01:20:05.399 five. Overall, they are six and three and Big twelve play half game 1161 01:20:05.399 --> 01:20:09.039 ahead of Kansas. There are two and two on the road this year, 1162 01:20:09.039 --> 01:20:13.479 with the wins coming at Central Florida, Damniti and Oklahoma State. Who is 1163 01:20:13.560 --> 01:20:19.119 buns the Bears are all about their guards. Freshman Jakoby Walter is their best 1164 01:20:19.159 --> 01:20:23.720 guard. He averages fourteen points a night and is the team's best finisher at 1165 01:20:23.720 --> 01:20:26.319 the rim as well. The point guard is ray J Dennis. He has 1166 01:20:26.319 --> 01:20:30.319 fourteen points of his own six assists as well. Langston Love and Jayden Dunn 1167 01:20:30.680 --> 01:20:33.800 also play significant minutes on the perimeter, and all four of these players are 1168 01:20:34.039 --> 01:20:39.560 very good three point shooters, with Love being the best at a staggering forty 1169 01:20:39.640 --> 01:20:44.600 nine percent. Yep. Yeah. And then Baylor's front quarter is what it 1170 01:20:44.680 --> 01:20:46.960 usually is, long and athletic. The four man Jalen Bridges, who has 1171 01:20:47.000 --> 01:20:50.680 taken a big leap forward this year to average ten points to forty percent from 1172 01:20:50.680 --> 01:20:55.880 three yeves Missy who is the seven zero center, puts eleven and six White 1173 01:20:56.560 --> 01:20:59.960 while blocking in a couple of shots per game. Jos, why are these 1174 01:21:00.279 --> 01:21:03.640 Why do I always get the names that just to say, Josh, Huina, 1175 01:21:03.720 --> 01:21:10.199 Wana and White get the game candidate and Caleb Loner get the reason. 1176 01:21:11.640 --> 01:21:14.680 Yeah, Caleb Lohner is making multiple threes. There's nothing we can do about 1177 01:21:14.680 --> 01:21:19.239 it, Baylor. Josh, last name I would go with Ojia Wuna. 1178 01:21:19.960 --> 01:21:25.159 Yeah. I think it's and I bet it's Yee's MESSI if I'm guessing, 1179 01:21:26.199 --> 01:21:29.760 But these guys are all really good. Here's your Baylor analysis. I know 1180 01:21:29.760 --> 01:21:32.000 you look forward to this one paragraph every show. Baylor is the third best 1181 01:21:32.000 --> 01:21:35.880 three point shooting team in the nation at forty percent, which is just fricking 1182 01:21:35.920 --> 01:21:42.319 fantastic. They have an excellent offense centered around the fact that four of the 1183 01:21:42.439 --> 01:21:45.079 five guys on the floor at any given time can shoot the ball must be 1184 01:21:45.399 --> 01:21:48.399 nice. They draw a lot of contact, they pass well, and they 1185 01:21:48.399 --> 01:21:53.720 play at above average pace. The weaknesses include being below average on the glass, 1186 01:21:54.000 --> 01:21:56.960 fouling at a good rate, and being prone to turning it over thanks 1187 01:21:57.000 --> 01:22:00.079 to playing fast. Remember last year we saw Kenante George come in and play 1188 01:22:00.119 --> 01:22:03.359 electric basketball in the first half at Allen field House, but they still turn 1189 01:22:03.439 --> 01:22:05.840 it over a lot. He had a season nine and turnovers there. The 1190 01:22:05.880 --> 01:22:10.359 Allen field House atmosphere can do that to a team that's forced two, that's 1191 01:22:10.399 --> 01:22:14.159 forced into a faster play. They also have been vulnerable. Baylor has an 1192 01:22:14.199 --> 01:22:17.000 allowing points in the paint, which is good news for Kansas considering Hunter Dickinson 1193 01:22:17.079 --> 01:22:20.720 plays for the Jayhawks. Baylor is what they normally are. They can shoot 1194 01:22:20.760 --> 01:22:24.920 it. They spread the floor real well, they play fast, they're athletic 1195 01:22:25.000 --> 01:22:29.439 everywhere. Their centers more athletic than the two guards on most teams, and 1196 01:22:29.479 --> 01:22:32.439 they play really really well at fog Allen more often than not, at least 1197 01:22:32.479 --> 01:22:38.680 for extended stretches. They are a very tough matchup for anybody. Kansas very 1198 01:22:38.760 --> 01:22:41.960 good on defense. Gonna have to stop the three if they want to win 1199 01:22:42.000 --> 01:22:45.920 the game. Bailing Kansas. They have split the last four season series, 1200 01:22:46.039 --> 01:22:49.359 very even match up regardless of where it's been played. Like you said, 1201 01:22:49.399 --> 01:22:53.079 Ryan, Baylor has always been competitive in outfield house, but they've only gotten 1202 01:22:53.079 --> 01:22:57.159 the one win. Ever, Scott Drew did get it fifteen losses to go 1203 01:22:57.239 --> 01:23:00.800 with that in sixteen tries. The one to fifteen in the fun are the 1204 01:23:00.800 --> 01:23:04.920 Scott Drew lad Bears. And as always remember that in the year three E 1205 01:23:04.960 --> 01:23:09.880 D. Jesus Christ said the Baylor Bears. He did. He opened his 1206 01:23:09.920 --> 01:23:14.359 eyes, so that's pretty wild. He's Jesus, sir. He can. 1207 01:23:14.720 --> 01:23:17.800 He could have absolutely talked within seconds of coming out of the womb. That's 1208 01:23:17.960 --> 01:23:21.159 if he wanted to. That is true. That's that's how it worked. 1209 01:23:21.319 --> 01:23:26.840 I don't make the rules, So therefore I just honor the words screw the 1210 01:23:26.840 --> 01:23:30.119 Bears, all right. Prediction here Landon, you're gonna be there college game 1211 01:23:30.239 --> 01:23:34.960 day atmosphere. You said that Baylor had a low key chance of maybe clipping 1212 01:23:35.039 --> 01:23:38.319 Kansas not too long ago. I don't think you still feel that way, 1213 01:23:39.520 --> 01:23:44.119 Uh, not as much. I do think if that fast pace does prove 1214 01:23:44.159 --> 01:23:45.479 to be something Baylor likes to go with, and they do do that, 1215 01:23:46.560 --> 01:23:49.479 they have a chance to make speed up Kansas. Kansas has not played well 1216 01:23:49.520 --> 01:23:55.159 against teams that can speed them up. Otherwise, though, Yeah, with 1217 01:23:55.239 --> 01:23:59.600 this loss, if Kansas had beaten Case State or just played a better game 1218 01:23:59.640 --> 01:24:02.720 generally speaking, I would say maybe Kansas does have a chance to lose. 1219 01:24:02.760 --> 01:24:08.279 But I think with that game, I think they probably were already looking a 1220 01:24:08.319 --> 01:24:12.640 little bit ahead anyway to Baylor. With that loss, I think Kan's gonna 1221 01:24:12.640 --> 01:24:16.960 be wide oh wake for Baylor. I do think Baylor is good, but 1222 01:24:17.039 --> 01:24:19.560 I do think they are not as good as they have been in the last 1223 01:24:19.600 --> 01:24:25.439 couple of years. So I think Kansas is going to win pretty decently, 1224 01:24:25.880 --> 01:24:29.119 maybe not in a way that they did against Houston. But let's say the 1225 01:24:29.199 --> 01:24:33.960 Jayhawks win seventy eight seventy one. Okay, should be a good game. 1226 01:24:33.960 --> 01:24:39.880 If that's the case, Neick, Yeah, Baylor's starting their three games slide 1227 01:24:39.880 --> 01:24:42.640 again. Here. I'm gonna say Kansas wins this game. Give me a 1228 01:24:42.760 --> 01:24:45.399 high scoring win at eighty to seventy, I think they'll win this one pretty 1229 01:24:45.399 --> 01:24:49.520 comfortably. I thought the Houston game would be close. It wasn't. I 1230 01:24:49.560 --> 01:24:51.960 think this is the one that is close. I think Baylor's great. I 1231 01:24:51.960 --> 01:24:55.880 think they're well coached. I think that they are kind of like Kansas in 1232 01:24:55.920 --> 01:24:59.600 a sense that they play better against the better teams. And I think you're 1233 01:24:59.600 --> 01:25:01.760 gonna see a star started lineup play pretty well. I think they're gonna make 1234 01:25:01.760 --> 01:25:04.760 a healthy amount of threes. But then I think the Kansas run is gonna 1235 01:25:04.800 --> 01:25:09.520 hit. If Kansas, they're gonna have to make their threes to keep up 1236 01:25:09.520 --> 01:25:12.600 with Baylor. Two. You can't go three for fifteen in this game unless 1237 01:25:12.600 --> 01:25:15.560 Dickinson just eats them alive. You have to get six, seven, eight 1238 01:25:15.640 --> 01:25:19.520 threes from these guys. I think you're gonna want a contribution from Timberlake off 1239 01:25:19.520 --> 01:25:23.199 the bench. My prediction is Nick Timberlake comes off the bench and makes two 1240 01:25:23.279 --> 01:25:25.600 threes. I think they're gonna need that. It seems like that kind of 1241 01:25:25.600 --> 01:25:28.680 pace where Self tries him a lot. And I also think that this is 1242 01:25:28.720 --> 01:25:30.560 gonna be kJ Adams is gonna need to play well. If he doesn't, 1243 01:25:30.600 --> 01:25:34.920 it's gonna show up that Kansas doesn't have a four man that can rebound like 1244 01:25:34.960 --> 01:25:40.119 Baylor does. Kansas will win, is my prediction. A game that goes 1245 01:25:40.159 --> 01:25:42.600 about like I thought the last Houston game on. I'm gonna say it's really 1246 01:25:42.720 --> 01:25:45.520 entertaining, it's real tight. Seventy nine seventy four is your final should be 1247 01:25:45.520 --> 01:25:50.960 a really good one at the Fog Big Twelve Games. TCU at number fourteen 1248 01:25:51.039 --> 01:25:56.000 Iowa State upset here. Cyclones are pretty good at home, but I think 1249 01:25:56.039 --> 01:25:59.319 they're due for an l. I take the horn Frogs TCU. I feel 1250 01:25:59.359 --> 01:26:03.439 like always play Swell in this building and they never beat him at home. 1251 01:26:03.439 --> 01:26:11.520 I don't know, I don't know. I'm gonna take Cyclones. Uh yeah, 1252 01:26:11.560 --> 01:26:15.000 I'll go out of state West Virginia at Texas. Horns have been horrible 1253 01:26:15.000 --> 01:26:17.680 at home, but they should be able to get this one. I would 1254 01:26:17.720 --> 01:26:21.840 think, Yeah, I eventually they gotta win one, and this would be 1255 01:26:21.880 --> 01:26:32.119 the one. Cincinnati wrong. What Ron sorry. I was gonna say Texas. 1256 01:26:32.119 --> 01:26:34.880 Sorry, but look at who you liking this next game? That would 1257 01:26:34.880 --> 01:26:40.439 be an upset because Cincinnati plays host to number five Houston. Yeah, I 1258 01:26:40.479 --> 01:26:43.119 agree with Nick. I think road games are that brutal in this league. 1259 01:26:43.119 --> 01:26:48.239 I'll take the Bearcats. Nick, are you actually taking Cincinnati? Yeah? 1260 01:26:48.600 --> 01:26:54.039 I will not make it three for three. I think Houston feasts on these 1261 01:26:54.119 --> 01:26:57.880 kinds of matchups. Road games are really tough. But I think, uh, 1262 01:26:58.520 --> 01:27:01.880 honestly, probably only the best few teams will beat Houston with regularity because 1263 01:27:01.920 --> 01:27:06.920 I think they are built to beat teams like this. Uc F at number 1264 01:27:06.920 --> 01:27:11.439 twenty three Texas Tech Red Raiders, but I think it's close. They're gonna 1265 01:27:11.439 --> 01:27:15.760 be looking ahead to Kansas a little bit. Yeah, Red Raiders. This 1266 01:27:15.800 --> 01:27:20.760 is a yeah. I think it's Texas Tech win one other Red Raiders get 1267 01:27:20.840 --> 01:27:25.720 a quick turnaround to play another one at home and can't whatever. I'm just 1268 01:27:25.800 --> 01:27:29.880 I'm crappy about this schedule. Oklahoma State at Oklahoma, bad lum, but 1269 01:27:29.920 --> 01:27:33.239 it's gonna be ass. I'll take Oklahoma. I think there's slightly less of 1270 01:27:33.279 --> 01:27:39.960 that ass. Oklahoma State maybe is just significantly more than Oklahoma. Give me 1271 01:27:40.000 --> 01:27:43.560 the Sooners. I'm not a gambling man, but whatever the line is, 1272 01:27:43.640 --> 01:27:46.720 I want the favorite here. Kansas State at number twenty one, BYU Cougar's 1273 01:27:46.760 --> 01:27:50.199 buy whatever the line is doubled, Kansas State is going to fall right on 1274 01:27:50.239 --> 01:27:56.359 their caboos after that game on Monday. Yeah, this feels like BYU going 1275 01:27:56.399 --> 01:28:02.840 away. Yep. Other games. Number ten Illinois at Michigan State. Sparty's 1276 01:28:02.840 --> 01:28:04.680 been looking for the big win all year. I say they get it. 1277 01:28:05.000 --> 01:28:09.560 Well, would you look at that February tom Izzo wakes up in Michigan State's 1278 01:28:09.560 --> 01:28:14.479 good again giving Spartans. I will not take the Spartans. I hate to 1279 01:28:14.479 --> 01:28:16.239 tell you this, Lanta, but I think February is a lost yesterday. 1280 01:28:16.279 --> 01:28:19.279 I'm not one hundred percent sure because they're not round. You're gonna start here? 1281 01:28:19.760 --> 01:28:23.439 Wow? Do you know who they lost to? Would anybody like to 1282 01:28:23.479 --> 01:28:31.319 guess who they lost to yesterday? In State? Who's not very good if 1283 01:28:31.319 --> 01:28:36.439 we're being totally honest. So doesn't give you a lot of confidence, but 1284 01:28:36.479 --> 01:28:44.439 I like it. Number three North Carolina at Miami. Give me the Canes. 1285 01:28:45.800 --> 01:28:50.279 I'll take the tar heels. Gross, Yeah, I'll take the tar 1286 01:28:50.319 --> 01:28:56.680 heels as well. Gonzaga at number seventeen Kentucky, a non con game in 1287 01:28:56.680 --> 01:29:03.760 the middle of February. Give me Kentuck you by a million. Yeah, 1288 01:29:04.079 --> 01:29:12.199 embarrassing loss for Gonzaga I wants. I think Gonzaga wins this game. I 1289 01:29:12.239 --> 01:29:15.560 don't like going against Kentucky again at home, but Gonzaga's gotta have it. 1290 01:29:15.800 --> 01:29:19.800 Ken Palm actually says Gonzaga is two spots ahead of Kentucky right now, so 1291 01:29:19.840 --> 01:29:24.119 this should be a pretty even game. Gonzaga has to win this game or 1292 01:29:24.119 --> 01:29:27.279 they're not gonna make the NCAA tournament. I think you see a team that 1293 01:29:27.359 --> 01:29:30.359 still has experience and they're well coached, find the weirdwithal to get it done. 1294 01:29:30.680 --> 01:29:34.920 I think Gonzaga wins it rough. Watch that Number six Tennessee at Texas 1295 01:29:35.000 --> 01:29:40.439 A and M. I'll take the fighting Buzz Williams and we are really zigging 1296 01:29:40.520 --> 01:29:46.359 Zagon this week. Ryan, give me the Valls interesting. I am going 1297 01:29:46.439 --> 01:29:51.640 to take does that same good. I think Tennessee's gonna drop on a dumb 1298 01:29:51.640 --> 01:29:56.520 one here. I'm gonna pick Textas A and M and number eight Arizona at 1299 01:29:56.520 --> 01:30:00.000 the Fighting Dion's the Buffalo is at home. I will go with another upside. 1300 01:30:00.119 --> 01:30:05.880 Give me Colorado. Yeah, I agree with you. Here, I 1301 01:30:05.920 --> 01:30:10.479 don't agree with you. I'm gonna go with Arizona. We are all over 1302 01:30:10.520 --> 01:30:13.279 the place. I don't know what we agreed on there other than Ku, 1303 01:30:13.359 --> 01:30:15.319 but it was all over the place. Next show, we're gonna do a 1304 01:30:15.399 --> 01:30:20.920 Super Bowl show, probably Sunday afternoon. I'd be very nervous. I'll make 1305 01:30:20.960 --> 01:30:28.039 one of us give me a super Bowl prediction because this podcast will the next 1306 01:30:28.039 --> 01:30:30.359 one won't come out until after the game. Chiefs thirty one, nine or 1307 01:30:30.399 --> 01:30:36.800 sixteen. Here is a hot take for you. I do not mind brock 1308 01:30:36.840 --> 01:30:42.680 Party winning the championship this year, but I do think the Chiefs will win 1309 01:30:42.720 --> 01:30:47.640 this game and I will still be happy. Twenty four to ten. Yeah, 1310 01:30:47.680 --> 01:30:50.159 I think the Chiefs are gonna win, kind of not easily. I 1311 01:30:50.199 --> 01:30:53.960 don't know what the final score will be, but I think the Chiefs are 1312 01:30:54.560 --> 01:30:59.159 two scores ahead most of the second half. Well we'll see. Maybe we've 1313 01:30:59.159 --> 01:31:01.399 gotten two cocky. I thought they'd smash the Bucks and we all know how 1314 01:31:01.439 --> 01:31:04.119 that ended up. But you know, whatever, what can you do? 1315 01:31:04.239 --> 01:31:08.800 All right? Well, we'll talk then. This is inside the Paint Reassurance 1316 01:31:08.920 --> 01:31:14.439 Edition.
