WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.719
So we normally only play this when
they win. They lost, but I

2
00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:08.880
still feel like it and I'm breaking
all the rules. So here we go.

3
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:14.919
Tell me you don't miss this a
little bit, a little bit.

4
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:17.600
Can somebody tell me that you don't
miss it? Okay, not even a

5
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:21.359
little bit. I mean it's always
fun. I always enjoy a sandstorm.

6
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:25.320
Now again, well at Case State, the sandstorm sound a little different.

7
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:33.159
They sound like this, and you
know what they're saying instead. Right now,

8
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:38.039
they're saying Bill self, Bill's self
because he doesn't shake hands with Jerome

9
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:41.359
Tang. Have you not heard that
soap opera going on this week? It's

10
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.479
the hottest story on it. It's
the hottest story in town these days.

11
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:48.840
All right, I haven't heard it
actually, So that seems like it's for

12
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:53.159
people that are too addicted to sports, which is a podcast. Definitely not

13
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:57.119
you're not on X. That's the
only solution, Nick, Have you heard

14
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:02.320
about that? Heard about? What? You guys haven't heard about? Handshake

15
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:04.959
gates? Oh? I did I
did hear? I did hear that?

16
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:11.000
Drum? Tang snuffed Bill self.
Yes, that's the uh, that's the

17
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:17.760
the thought process. And honestly,
props to Jerome props. I can all

18
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.280
right, Well, he didn't really
snuff bill self. He he kind of

19
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:25.560
gave him a very quick handshake.
Somebody asked Bill self about it after the

20
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:27.799
game, because if you remember a
few weeks ago, there was some sort

21
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:32.280
of dust up between the coaching staffs
in the tunnel in the game at Brambleage

22
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.879
after it ended. So I would
only assume this is a continuation of that

23
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.439
where Tang is going through the handshake
line and he gives bill Self a quick,

24
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.760
quick handshake, and then it looks
like he either kind of skips over

25
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:47.120
or just blows by the assistance of
the Jayhawks, and Kay's assistants are just

26
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.000
kind of looking there like what and
that was kind of that, And both

27
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.959
fan bases are like pulling out video
clips of all the times that their coaches

28
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.280
have the other guy's coach has done
a fly by handshake. And I just

29
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.879
can't imagine caring. I feel I
can't imagine caring about a sports topic and

30
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.599
telling you that I don't care about
it on a podcast. That's how it

31
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.280
works, right, Yeah, I
think so this is inside the Paint on

32
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:15.159
Rock Chuck Blog semi uh semi final
edition of the regular season. We're almost

33
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:21.879
at the end. I am that
Kansas will be in. Oh, it's

34
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:24.120
quite sad. I'm sad now,
I'm sad. I don't even I don't

35
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:37.759
know who I am. That's who
I am. Mm, well, we've

36
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:39.280
already gone off the rails. This
is a three person show. You may

37
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.919
not believe it is. We have
a third person here today. He just

38
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:47.520
doesn't want to talk. Hi,
we're off and running. Let's talk about

39
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:51.840
Kay, you beat and k State? I guess, because what what else

40
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.080
would you do after that? Kansas
State at Allen field House effort of an

41
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.599
intro. I don't even know what
to a. This is why I still

42
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:02.759
believe the show peaked in the Job
Daniel era. This is a I mean,

43
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:07.960
let's be honest, also because of
me. But that's that was a

44
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:14.199
good era. But this era is
not a total until like the last thirty

45
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:16.199
seconds. If we're being honest,
I don't know what we're doing here.

46
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.520
There's a lot of farts with reverb
sound effects. If you guys don't start

47
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.680
talking and fill in space, I
will push them. I know, I

48
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:24.240
don't care. Yep, you got
my attention. Let's go. Let's roll,

49
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:31.360
Let's roll. Here we go.
Number fourteen Kansas ninety Kansas State sixty

50
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:36.360
eight as an advertisement on my very
slow computer just popped up. It says

51
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.879
Blue Cross Blue Shields partners with the
k State Wildcats to bring you winning solutions

52
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:44.879
for your health insurance needs. And
I don't know which one of those two

53
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.919
things is more ironic, because Kansas
State's basketball team isn't very good, but

54
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:53.479
they are the freaking john Wood in
UCLA teams compared to Blue Cross Blue Shield

55
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:59.439
Health Insurance. Getting off the rails
a little bit here. Number fourteen Kansas

56
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.759
ninety Kansas State sixty eight, Well, guys, they're back. Problems are

57
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:10.639
solved, fangs out. Sure,
the Jayhawks did desperately need a dominant showing.

58
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:14.639
They got one. The home matchup
with k State definitely proved to be

59
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.480
what Ryan deems a get right recipe
for Kansas. I definitely think a bounce

60
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.240
back performance for Kansas. We'll see
if it's get right or yeah, it's

61
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:24.839
probably a better way to put it. Yeah. The Jayhawks use a lot

62
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:29.920
of free throws and contributions from their
secondary pieces, including one that we've deemed

63
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.040
brick timbuns Lake, but he was
neither of those things in this game to

64
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.199
blow Kase State and get back in
the wind. Calm Nick, They're back,

65
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:42.120
right, it's all fixed. Well, what is continued? It's not

66
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:46.680
back as forty one straight Senior Night
victories for the Jayhawks, who haven't lost

67
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.879
their home finale since nineteen eighty three, that is, when Lannon was a

68
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:57.120
wee negative seventeen years old. They've
also beaten k State eighteen straight times at

69
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:01.519
on field House and twenty nine out
of the last thirty. Man is what

70
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:05.120
that is. That's a lot of
dubs. Yes, it was a good

71
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:10.079
game for the Jayhawks. I don't
know if it's going to be the moment

72
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:15.079
that turned around their season. The
Chiefs beating the Bengals on New Year's Day

73
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.199
barely that propels them to superstart them. I don't know if it'll be that

74
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:21.439
or if it'll just be like they'll
lose by fifteen to Houston and will be

75
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:25.120
like, oh, yep, they
just were good at home and played dead

76
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.480
on the road. That's what always
happens. But this they absolutely had to

77
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.319
have it. I compared it on
Twitter two. Have you guys ever played

78
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:36.959
the game bean boozled the jelly bean
good and bad game? Yeah? No,

79
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.879
I know of it. I do
not play. It is absolutely awful.

80
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:46.319
Nick, I can't believe you've survived
it. I refuse to partake after

81
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.439
eating. I believe one that was
called old Bandage a couple of weeks ago

82
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:54.199
and it is. I still taste
that damn old bandage in my mouth.

83
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.560
It's awful. I can't believe that
that's a game that normal people play.

84
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.639
Tell me your bean boozled story.
I just remember tasting one that was like

85
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:06.199
rotten eggs or something. Yeah,
that exists. There's one called stink Bug

86
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:11.199
that makes the whole table smell like
a stink bug when you bite into it.

87
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.759
I don't know how it's fun.
Anyway. I compared this game to

88
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:19.360
Kansas playing bean Boozled. There's a
strawberry banana kind of peach looking one,

89
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.879
and then there's a doppel ganger that's
dead fish, and you don't know which

90
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:27.439
one you're gonna get. And in
this case, it was gonna be either

91
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.920
the yummy strawberry banana smoothie that got
them back on track, or it is

92
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.519
gonna be the dead fish and the
floor falling out on this season, and

93
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:38.279
it was the good bean. It
was a very good showing. Really,

94
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:42.279
the twenty two point final score does
not indicate how dominant of a game this

95
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.360
was for Kansas. I think case
State hit their last like five shots or

96
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:48.399
something against the walk Ons, the
game was like eighty seven to sixty or

97
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:53.519
something like that at one point,
a dominant showing for Kansas. Were used

98
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.439
to seeing them take care of business
against the Cats at Allen Field House.

99
00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:00.839
Haven't lost to the Cats at Allen
Field House since you guys were like five

100
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.920
years old or something like that,
But still it was one that you needed

101
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:10.040
to see, right Any any upward
ascent that's going to happen from Kansas had

102
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.720
to begin with a handling of K
State at home. Yeah, I mean

103
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:17.160
we talked about on the last show, like if they lose to K State

104
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.879
then that would be really bad.
None of us really believed that was gonna

105
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.480
happen. But for the first time
in a long time, there was like

106
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.639
just a little more doubt than usual
going into a K State KU game and

107
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:30.759
that felt really weird. So yeah, it was, And that was really

108
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.319
never ever ever the case in this
game outside the first few minutes, really

109
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:39.360
like k you did truly come in. They were all business as I expect

110
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.319
them to be on Senor night they
dominated. They rolled Kase State. I

111
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.279
mean that's kind of all they say, adout. They got some real nice

112
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.639
performances from people. And I think
one of the reasons they rolled was Nick

113
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:53.199
Timberlake. Didn't think I'd be saying
that, but here we are. If

114
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:57.199
you were leading off with I think
leading off with Nick Timberlake, he gets

115
00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:59.279
one. I thought we might do
this a couple of times this year.

116
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:03.639
He's gonna get on at least eighteen
points. Wow from Timberlake, six of

117
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:09.720
seven, shooting four of five from
three in twenty three minutes. He's made

118
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.920
ten threes in the last seven games. Are we buying this at all?

119
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.399
Or is this just you know,
Charlie Moore had a twenty point game or

120
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.759
whatever against Texas Tech that once it
can happen, he did, yeah,

121
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.319
Or it's legit? Is this legit? Is he actually turning around? Okay,

122
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.959
go ahead and lead off. Okay, go for it. I told

123
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.079
you guys a couple of weeks ago
that I think that that he's going to

124
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.360
hit it, get it going in
March. I think the pieces have been

125
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:33.639
there. It's you know, these
close clanks on the rim, if he

126
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.879
gets an ounce of confidence, I
think that his season trajectory is going to

127
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.559
shoot up towards the end of this
this time here at Kansas, he's you

128
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:43.799
know, had a couple of spurts
in these games where that you know,

129
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.399
like we said, this is the
first time we're leading off because it's the

130
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:48.240
first time Kansas has won a game
where he's played very well, but he's

131
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:54.039
played some pretty scrappy minutes as of
wait, and this was just a culmination

132
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.000
of that, and the shots,
you know, came down like the normal

133
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.399
make Timberlake did a thousand, and
I think this is like I said,

134
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.440
we've talked about it. Shooting is
kind of cyclical. It's very streaky,

135
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.440
and I think that he could I
see, this is a guy shooter.

136
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:15.039
Shoot can get a streak going here. Maybe my favorite part about Nick timberlakes

137
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:18.799
night on a game where he made
four threes was that he made sure to

138
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:24.480
think the ku Berner Twitter accounts in
his senior night speech, because there's a

139
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.960
lot of Berner Nick Timberlake accounts out
there that always have the guys back.

140
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.120
I think that's funny that they that
he noticed that Bill self said he's been

141
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.759
playing a lot better. In a
press conference in the middle of this week,

142
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.960
he said his defense hasn't proved a
lot. I don't know if Bill

143
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.480
self happened to throw away the tape
that was Baylor home game when he said

144
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.960
that, he may have misplaced it. But ever since then he has played

145
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.360
a lot better. And he said, you know, hey, and every

146
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.679
one of our deep march runs,
there's a guy that kind of underachieves throughout

147
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:54.559
the course of the year, that
comes up strong when it matters, like

148
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.120
Remy Martin and Malie Newman. The
last two times K's made a Final four,

149
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:03.519
we saw guy who had disappointed through
the regular season come and play up

150
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.919
to his potential in the postseason,
and it elevated the team significantly. Nick

151
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.960
Timberlake and why I think Nick had
more confidence and why Landon and I have

152
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:15.559
still had a little bit more confidence. We've said you have to continue playing

153
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:18.840
him because this is a guy who's
done it at the college level, not

154
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:22.039
at the power five level, but
he has made hundreds of threes in his

155
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:26.320
career. There's at least a track
record there if you give him some confidence.

156
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:30.000
The ball splashed through the net four
times in this game. They were

157
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.039
great makes. Maybe they're not gonna
get eighteen a night out of him.

158
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:37.320
Can they get ten? Can they
get ten bench points off? Can they

159
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:41.639
get a free? Yeah? What
and two threes? They need two threes?

160
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:43.799
What do they make in this game? Six? And Timberlake made four

161
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:48.799
and it felt like plenty. If
they can get multiple threes most nights from

162
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:54.240
Nick Timberlake, that elevates their ceiling
in a huge way. Yeah, And

163
00:10:54.000 --> 00:11:00.399
like if you can get eight points
and okay defense and not turning the ball

164
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.159
over, I mean that would be
huge. And especially like Elmarco Jackson has

165
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:09.080
also played like marginally better in the
last couple of games. He's given you

166
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.360
a couple buckets. Not like he's
been sensational or anything, but the bench

167
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.240
I think has has shown a little
bit of growth. And yeah, if

168
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:22.120
Timberlake can knock down two or three
threes, then you might be in business

169
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.559
on the bench. But also it's
case date on Senior Day, so a

170
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:28.840
lot of it might just be that. Yeah, Nick Hardy said it forty

171
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.600
one straight Senior Day victories. I
don't know if I've done anything forty one

172
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.480
straight times. Maybe wake up if
you're going based off dates forty one years.

173
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:41.720
That's true. I'm on hundreds of
straight podcasts. Yeah, I have.

174
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:46.120
It's it's been it's been a long
time since I last missed one.

175
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.639
So I'm looking at the because the
next talking point we're gonna have is that

176
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.000
Jerome Tang and Bill self had a
short post game handshake. Jerome Tang is

177
00:11:54.240 --> 00:12:01.360
barely over five hundred if you take
out games that do not go to overtime.

178
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.759
That is such a hilarious number.
He's thirty one and twenty three in

179
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:07.360
his career when they go to when
they do not go to overtime, and

180
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.000
he's twelve and zher when they do. That seems impossible that, like,

181
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:16.600
the dude is this close to being
a five hundred coach. He's not gonna

182
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:18.320
be there every game in overtime.
He's not going to be there much longer,

183
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.879
is he. I think he's a
great game in Manhattan for a long

184
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:26.399
time. See. I think it'd
be a mistake if Kansas State. But

185
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:28.480
Kansas State has done this before.
They had Frank Martin, who got into

186
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.639
a fight with the athletic director,
Bob Huggins, only stayed a year.

187
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.159
They couldn't get that figured out.
They had Dana Altman, they had,

188
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:39.039
Long Krueger, they had, They've
had great Cobe has one recruit for next

189
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:43.600
season, though, so it's kind
of like that. Well, there's been

190
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:48.240
a weird relationship with him in the
AD ever since the Nakwon Tomlin stuff happened.

191
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:50.679
Like I think that. I think
Jerome Tang has to feel like that

192
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:56.840
he in some respect doesn't have the
final say in his own program, which

193
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.720
Travis Goff is a hell of an
ad and big difference in the track record

194
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:03.919
of Jerome Tang and Bill Self.
I get this, but Travis Goff's best

195
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:09.120
thing that he does with basketball is
he does nothing with basketball. He stays

196
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:13.000
out of Bill selves way and lets
his all star coach run his program.

197
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.759
Case State hasn't done that with Tang, and I guess if you're not gonna

198
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.360
give a guy that kind of control
to decide which players he has on his

199
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.720
roster, I could see how that'd
be a real problem. I don't know

200
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:28.279
where's Tang gonna go. I mean, he's he's Texas gonna say deuces to

201
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.200
Rodney Terry. I listen to that. I think Tang has to get a

202
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:35.440
head coaching job because Case State I
still think has a very difficult program to

203
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:41.080
consistently win at, so I think
he'd be worthy of getting a shot somewhere

204
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.039
if I mean, if I was
an ACC school at the end of this

205
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:46.080
year, if Tang's still around,
I'd give him a call if he's on

206
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.919
the market. I mean, I
think Case State has a little bit better

207
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.480
NCAA tournament case than some people think. It's they're running out of time.

208
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.080
They're seventeen and thirteen. Do I
think they have to get to case They've

209
00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:58.759
lost like eight of the last ten
conference games. Yeah, we can't be

210
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.720
put k State in the tournament.
Well, I think. But here's the

211
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.759
thing though, I think if they
get to twenty wins, Oklahoma is like

212
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.559
two wins better than them. I
don't TCU is a win better than them.

213
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.799
Okay, Like I really we're gonna
act like that's they're miles apart and

214
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:18.120
they're safely in right now. K
State has Iowa State at home on Senior

215
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.840
Day, and then they gotta win
two in Kansas City, at least one

216
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.480
of which would be an upset.
If they get to three more wins,

217
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.679
they should be in the dance.
Case State's better than Oklahoma. I don't

218
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.720
care that Case State lost to Oklahoma, they're a better basketball team. Yeah,

219
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.000
I don't disagree with that. I
don't think either of those two teams

220
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.039
should be in. No, I'm
fine if you want to leave them all

221
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.080
out, but I'm telling you it's
a I don't understand the world where Texas,

222
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:45.960
TCU and Oklahoma are safely in right
now and Case State's not even close.

223
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.440
I don't think that's that. Let's
talk about Hunter Dickinson. He had

224
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:54.200
fifteen points, twenty rebounds, and
five blocks hello in thirty four minutes,

225
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:56.919
and he was only five for sixteen
from the floor too. It's the first

226
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:01.399
twenty rebound game in conference play by
a Jayhawks since Jeff Withe in twenty twelve.

227
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:05.200
He gave us a very brief Senior
Night speech that I don't know.

228
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.600
He said he wanted to take part
in Senior Day festivities in case he wasn't

229
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:13.159
here next year. Bill self kind
of hinted at hey, if he comes

230
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.480
back next year, he's gonna get
to three thousand career points. And to

231
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:18.399
me, if hundred decads is planning
on going, which a lot can change

232
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:22.759
in the next weeks for a guy
that's planning on going, I don't think

233
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.159
you give a ninety second senior speech
that you kind of leave the door open

234
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:31.120
unless he figures it's more likely than
not he'll return. He was great.

235
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:33.639
Uh, he was all right.
He was really really good. He was

236
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.759
actually really good. Defensively, he
was waiting, hold on, hold on.

237
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:43.879
He was alright, are you just
trying? Are you just trying?

238
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:48.000
At this point? Seen, Oh
my gosh, I quit. I quit.

239
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:52.559
I'm done. The last podcast.
It's in you guys's hands. I

240
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:54.759
got to run to the bathroom anyway, So you guys get a three minute,

241
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.360
you guys get a sixty second.
Look what life would be like without

242
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:02.879
me pushed in the because I quit. If you think Hunter Dickinson was all

243
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:07.759
right after fifteen twenty and five,
Hunter Dickinson is a product of his own

244
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:11.159
greatness. And then obviously he is
great. Obviously he is one of like

245
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:15.879
the three best offensive centers in the
history not history but Wilt Chamberlain played here,

246
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:21.360
but in the Bill Self era.
Certainly, But I mean, I

247
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:26.480
don't know, I just he's not
above criticism. But sure certainly, fifteen

248
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:32.159
twenty and five is like an all
time level night for a center, and

249
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:37.039
it just so happens that he's so
good that he can actually play pretty mediocre

250
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:41.679
offensive basketball and still drop fifteen twenty
and five. So I think that's kind

251
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.279
of where I'm coming from, which
is tough. I mean, when you

252
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:48.960
play really really it's kind of when
Patrick Mahomes has like one hundred and fifty

253
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:52.480
yards passing and a touchdown and a
pick. But it's like that's a bad

254
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:57.799
example fifteen twenty and five. That's
if Mahomes has two hundred and eighty yards

255
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:02.159
and three touchdowns but you interceptions.
Do you have one thing there that you

256
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:03.319
could be like, well, that
wasn't great, but other than that he

257
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:07.519
was great. Yeah, I think
that's fair. I mean, obviously he's

258
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.640
great, and obviously he was very
good in this game. He is hyper

259
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:15.119
inefficient. I think that's gonna lose
on the tournament game, though, Nick,

260
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:21.079
what say you? Yeah? I
mean I would disagree. Actually,

261
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:25.440
hold on, hold on what hyper
inefficient? Do you realize that Hunter Dickinson

262
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:29.079
this year is like top five in
the Big twelve and field goal percentage's shooting

263
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:32.720
fifty six percent from the floor.
I did not realize that. I guess

264
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:37.039
that's he's He's fine. We've agreed
before that he seems a little lazy.

265
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:41.160
Land and I have but I I
don't know how you look at fifteen points

266
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.599
and twenty rebounds and say he was
all right. I get your sentiment,

267
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.839
you know, not the best shooting
field goal percentage in this game. A

268
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:53.240
lot of that's pattered by free throws, but at least which he made.

269
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:57.640
When he misses the free throws,
we crucify him for that too. But

270
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:02.279
I don't get the critics for Hunter
Dickinson. He's not the problem on this

271
00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:07.960
team. Yes, yes, yes
he's he's a little lazy, But I

272
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:12.480
the the sore thumb is KG Adams
in this lineup. It's not Kevin.

273
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:18.920
It's not sorry, it's not Hunter
Dickinson. I we'll talk about kJ twos

274
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.799
so Hunter. The most common criticisms
I've heard recently won his defense. I

275
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:26.119
thought he was great defensively in this
game. Two. He's not a rim

276
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.400
protector. He has nine blocks in
the last two games. There's your rim

277
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:33.480
protecting. Now the current beefice.
He's not efficient, He's missing a lot

278
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:36.519
of shots. He did miss a
lot of shots in this game. It

279
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:38.039
was one of his two worst games
of the year. Only the Texas Tech

280
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:41.359
game was was a lower field goal
percentage. So you know he's gonna do

281
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.519
against Houston. He's gonna go seven
for nine and have eighteen points and twelve

282
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.400
rebounds, and but he's not gonna
have any blocks. And people are gonna

283
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.759
be like, yeah, he's seven
too. Of course the ball goes in

284
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:56.400
the basket, he's seven to.
He can't block anybody. It's just it's

285
00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:59.759
it's you're you're correct when you call
him a victim of his own success.

286
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.359
He is not the perfect basketball player, but he is one of the five

287
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.319
best basketball players in college And if
you don't agree with that because of his

288
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:11.039
effort or as hard or his rebounding
or whatever, then that says more about

289
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:14.119
the state of the college game than
it does about Hunter Dickinson. Hunter Dickinson

290
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:17.720
is a great basketball player and anybody
who does not want him back, he

291
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:22.440
is priority won this offseason. Yeah, the sexiest three point shooter you can

292
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:26.160
find on the portal, that the
bluest blue chip recruit, they're all back

293
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.759
seat to getting Hunter Dickinson back.
He is priority A and I think they're

294
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:33.839
gonna get him back, and they
need him bad. He's a stud.

295
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:37.599
He is he'll probably average over twenty
a game next year if he comes back.

296
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.480
Somebody who's averaging twenty this year is
Kevin mccullor. He wasn't very efficient.

297
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:45.640
Nineteen points in twenty nine minutes on
five for fourteen shooting. I believe

298
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.680
he had. I think he had
all nineteen of those that like the first

299
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.480
TV timeout in the second half,
and then just kind of went quiet.

300
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:55.880
He made a couple threes. He
was seven for seven at the line plus

301
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:57.839
three assists threes fields. There were
some questions about his free throw shooting as

302
00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:02.759
of late that went away with seven
for seven here. People thought maybe he

303
00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:04.279
tweaked his knee a little bit.
He said he was fine afterwards. Self

304
00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:07.480
said he's been in out of practice. We'll see. He doesn't have the

305
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:11.680
explosiveness that he had. But still, Nick, Yeah, I feel pretty

306
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:14.480
good having this guy back in your
lineup, picking up right where he left

307
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:18.559
off, scoring about twenty points a
night, right, yeap. Kevin mccohler

308
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.880
for his his warts sometimes just any
of the injuries just setting him back this

309
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:26.160
season, but overall, whether you
believe he was sitting out because of his

310
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:30.880
own doing or if he's actually hurt, he has had a He's put together

311
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:34.680
a great campaign this season and going
out in a good fashion for KU.

312
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:40.119
So Landon, you said that Hunter
Dickinson's gonna cost Kansas a tournament game when

313
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:44.559
he's inefficient. If I was to
ask you right now, in the eventual

314
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:48.039
loss, who is the guy we're
gonna blame the most? Could you name?

315
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:52.359
Would you name every player on the
roster before he got to Hunter Dickinson?

316
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:56.200
Honestly, maybe except Parker Brown because
Parker Brown just simply doesn't do enough

317
00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:00.400
to count all the ones that count. I think that the guy we're talking

318
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.720
about first in the season ending loss, if it goes bad as McCuller.

319
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.759
I think McCullers going five for sixteen
or something like that, we're gonna be

320
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:10.160
like, well, damn, they
lost by seven and he missed all those

321
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:12.200
shots. Yeah, and I think
you could I think in a loss,

322
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:15.839
I think you could even see a
worst night kind of thing from mccullor where

323
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:21.240
he's like three of sixteen or something
atrocious. Then the next most likely is

324
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:25.200
kJ with the rebounding and all that, and then Harris is gonna have four

325
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:29.440
points on three shot. It's I
think all those things are And then the

326
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:33.359
threes, Timberlake does nothing for fees
quiet. I think all that's way more

327
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:37.480
likely than Hunter Dickinson's inefficiency, which
has happened in two out of what thirty

328
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.200
one games? Thirty games. I
think that's a way Hunter Dickinson is the

329
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:48.640
safest bet to have a good stat
line in their loss. That is probably

330
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:52.920
true, though, I mean,
I wouldn't put it past any KU player

331
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:56.240
to have a bad night in the
We've seen it all go wrong together.

332
00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:00.400
It will likely all go wrong at
the same time, because that is what

333
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:04.680
happens when loses NCAA tournament games.
I want to talk about the NCAA tournament

334
00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:08.720
though, Well, we'll talk about
the NCAA tournament first and then the Big

335
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:12.880
Twelve Tournament. Here a little bit. What do you think the best possible

336
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:17.880
outcome for Kansas is NCAA seed wise
they win in Houston and they win the

337
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:22.319
Big Twelve tournament, or and then
on the contrary, what is the worst

338
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:25.599
see that they could get They lose
in Houston and lose their Big Twelve tournament

339
00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:30.279
opener. Probably a four seed is
the worst and the high if they went

340
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:36.119
out two. Yeah, I think
that's true. I think I think they

341
00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:40.119
could flirt. I don't. I
think it's possible they could flirt with a

342
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:44.880
two if they win the Big Twelfth
Tournament. I think they can far with

343
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:49.799
a one if they went out.
I think four is a three or four

344
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:52.839
is where you're probably going to be. You'd probably have to win the Big

345
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:57.200
twelve tournament to get a two.
See I think if they win in Houston

346
00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:02.079
and then they'd be the four seed
in case, so then your path is

347
00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:07.240
like b YU Houston again, Iowa
State. If they if they're able to

348
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:11.519
do that, I think they're gonna
unless you have Tennessee and Arizona, And

349
00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:15.160
I guess that's the really that the
three three of the one seeds are really

350
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:19.519
locked up right now, right like
Yukon Purdue and they have eight losses,

351
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:23.240
and I just I find it very
tough that even if KU does beat Houston,

352
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:30.279
like seven ye lost. Yeah,
but I don't know, I feel

353
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.599
like their losses. I mean their
losses last year they had some mediocre ones

354
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:37.279
too, but there wasn't a u
c FL and they were a Big twelve

355
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:40.160
champ and they lost the tournament,
but they didn't have their coach, so

356
00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:41.920
all that went there. That's why
they got seated in front of Houston,

357
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:48.519
right, damn it, just just
remembering that fun region of death. Uh.

358
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.559
I think that I think that you're
right when went best case scenario is

359
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:56.640
maybe if everything goes right, the
last one probably a two. Uh.

360
00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:00.240
And the worst, yeah, they
if they lose to Houston and then they

361
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.720
lose again on Wednesday night, they're
probably a mid four. Now let's talk

362
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.880
about Big twelve tournaments, because as
of right now, Kansas is the five

363
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:14.200
seed. But obviously they have a
brutal last game with Houston, and the

364
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:17.720
teams that they could be tied with, Texas Tech and BYU are both teams

365
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:21.000
that beat them this year. Without
the round robin schedule, the head to

366
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:23.599
head matters. So I'm curious if
Kansas. Here's my take on this.

367
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:30.160
Here's a little mini monologue. I
think that Kansas is better off from a

368
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.240
Big twelve tournament perspective losing to Houston, where they would be the sixth seed

369
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:38.160
and playing Wednesday, then winning at
Houston and falling into a four seed.

370
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:44.240
Okay, maybe I'll take the four
seed first, but a five seed would

371
00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:48.000
be the worst. Here here's my
thinking Kansas, if they are the sixth

372
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:52.279
seed, would get the winner of
the eleven v. Fourteen game on Wednesday

373
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.400
night. Right now, that's UCF
and Oklahoma State. You would definitely think

374
00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:00.319
that Kansas would handle either of those
teams at the Team Mobile Center in front

375
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:03.759
of that crowd. Then you're right
back in the Thursday round anyway, you'd

376
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:07.640
play the three seed, who's probably
going to be Baylor at this point,

377
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:10.799
could be Texas Tech, depending on
how the weekend plays out. I don't

378
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:14.480
think anybody thinks there's a stark difference
between Kansas and those teams. They're all

379
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:17.559
gonna finish about the same record.
It's just tie breakers at this point.

380
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:19.640
And then if you're the six,
you'd be on the other side of the

381
00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:23.359
bracket from Houston, who is the
team that you're trying to avoid seeing until

382
00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:27.200
Saturday. I actually think that that's
the better path for Kansas than earning the

383
00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:32.839
four or the five seed, potentially
getting that double by getting one last chance

384
00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:37.240
to add a win onto their resume
against an inferior opponent and seeing Houston potentially

385
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:38.960
a game earlier, does all that
kind of check out. I think the

386
00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:44.720
sixth seed might be their best path
to avoid Houston. Yeah, go for

387
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:48.000
it. Anything you can avoid Houston
on neutral floor. I would try it.

388
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:52.119
I also don't know how much it
matters. We're talking about justifying how

389
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:55.000
it'd be a good thing if they're
the six and the Big Twelve Tournament,

390
00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:59.119
that's an unusual spot. Kansas has
never been lower than a five in the

391
00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:00.680
history of the Big Twelve Tournament,
which is going on thirty years old.

392
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:03.839
So they're gonna have to win in
Houston for that to uh, for that

393
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:07.519
to not be the case. So
it'll be it'll be interesting, Okay,

394
00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:11.079
Land, and tell me about kJ
Adams. Yeah, he had sixteen points,

395
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:15.160
five rebounds, two steals in thirty
one minutes, five of ten shooting,

396
00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:18.640
and a very nice six of six
at the line. We thought that

397
00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:21.839
this matchup might have some success for
him. It's exactly what happened. He

398
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:25.480
was pretty solid stilling five rebounds,
but he was pretty solid, good outing

399
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:26.920
for kJ. He did a lot
of the things you want him to do.

400
00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:32.440
Rebounding doesn't matter for kJ. If
Hunter's gonna pull down twenty by himself,

401
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:34.319
you need those two to combine for
about twenty and Hunter is gonna get

402
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:37.359
you sixty seventy percent of it.
Most nights. You just need kJ to

403
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:41.519
get a few in this game.
He did, and he was utilized as

404
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:45.880
a dunker against the very good front
court that is not super tall and pretty

405
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:48.759
athletic. It's a good matchup for
kJ because he's a better athlete than most

406
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:52.839
of those guys that he's gonna play
against. Nick I, that's awesome.

407
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.519
That is huge right there. Yeah, three for six of the line against

408
00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:59.480
six of six at the line,
big difference, nick I assume you're pretty

409
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:03.359
happy with k performance, albeit still
skeptical going forth. Yeah, you can't

410
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.359
fault that sixteen points? Is that? I mean the Statland's great, no

411
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:10.359
glaring things sticking out in this game. Like you said, the free throws

412
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:14.000
for Kansas in this game really propelled
them for twenty eight for thirty one from

413
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:17.759
the line over ninety percent. Mccluur
and Dickinson were ten for thirty from the

414
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:21.839
floor and they still hold ninety on
the top twenty kimpom defense. It is

415
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:23.880
amazing what free throws will do if
your offense. It's amazing what will happen

416
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:29.279
when refs actually call fouls when people
are fouling. Hunter Dickinson actually do that.

417
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:33.839
Yes, Hunter Dickinson's gotten a better
whistle since Bill self got thrown out

418
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:37.079
of a game and complained about Hunter
Dickinson not getting a better whistle, isn't

419
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:42.559
that interesting how that works? Let's
talk about let's talk about Tojwan, there's

420
00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:45.480
not much to analyze with the free
throws because you know they're going fourteen of

421
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:48.799
twenty eight in the season ending loss
anyway, So I'll go ahead and talk

422
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:55.440
about Dewan Harris, who has been
really, really good in conference play,

423
00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:59.079
and I don't think people realize it. Eight point seven assists, two steals,

424
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:00.960
just two turnovers, and thirty six
minutes three of eight from the floor.

425
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:06.160
He was one of the seniors that
did not partake in the festivities of

426
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:08.319
Senior Night because Bill self said he
will be back next year. That's already

427
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:15.160
been stated. In conference play,
Dewan Harris is averaging ten points, six

428
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:18.920
assists, less than two turnovers two
steals, which people talked about that rate

429
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:22.759
going down the stright back where it
was from last year. He is shooting

430
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:26.079
forty five percent from the floor.
He's shooting fifty percent from two. Remember

431
00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:30.359
that whole non conference spiel where we
talked about how he couldn't make any floaters.

432
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:33.640
He hasn't shot the ball very well
from three in conference play, only

433
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:37.319
thirty percent, but he's improved.
That's the only week number here over eighty

434
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:40.519
four percent at the free throw line. Two. That's been good. He's

435
00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:44.599
been a clutch free throw shooter.
This is a guy who is playing very

436
00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:48.160
Dewan Harris like in conference play,
and I think that that's you know,

437
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:52.960
his assist number should be better if
people could make shots, Like how good

438
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:55.359
he looked in this game when guys
were making shots. He's been great.

439
00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:59.240
He quarterbacked a great game in this
They were running and out and they were

440
00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:03.759
out and running against case Harris that
it is gonna be first draft it.

441
00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:08.680
Are you guys? Are you guys
under a point guard one Harris? Are

442
00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:14.039
you guys unhappy that Harris is gonna
be back? No? I mean he's

443
00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:18.400
only a guy of his style,
Like he makes me think of of like

444
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:22.640
the sixth year quarterbacks that are coming
back in college football and stuff. I'm

445
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:26.440
a guy that's just not gonna mess
up a ton because he's just super savvy

446
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:32.839
and he's seen everything and he seen
that's Bennett Harris. But uh, I

447
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:36.319
I do think that we're gonna have
moments next year of having a lot of

448
00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:40.720
the same conversations as this year unless
he completely changes his play style. Well,

449
00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:44.079
if you would you so? You
would? Right now, let's say

450
00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:47.799
you're in charge. I'm just gonna
take his stats over the year. Would

451
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:51.640
you trade? Would so? Would
you say you can either have this the

452
00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:53.599
one Harris, or you can have
the field. Here's what he's averaging on

453
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:59.359
the year, nine points seven assists, two turnovers, forty four percent from

454
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:03.480
the floor, thirty nine percent from
three, seventy eight percent of the line.

455
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:07.000
Uh would you would you take question
mark and try to find someone better?

456
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:10.119
Or would you take that? Because
I'm taking that, especially with the

457
00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:12.279
weapon taking that It's too high of
a floor, way too high of a

458
00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:17.000
floor to to like that line?
Nick, is that fair? Like like

459
00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:19.680
Dewan Harris, isn't that's fair?
That's fair? I was, I'm very

460
00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:22.880
curious enough. It's fair, Nick, No, it's fair, it's all

461
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:26.240
that's all Landon says. I think
that is fair. Uh, Nick,

462
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:30.920
tell me about Johnny Furfey. There's
this is kind of everybody else group together

463
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:33.839
here, but uh, you know, I kind of Furfey in the last

464
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:37.880
few weeks has actually been in like
not exclusive paragraph territory. Uh. Johnny

465
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:41.519
Furfey did not give a Senior Nite
speech, even though it was his last

466
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:44.839
game in on field House. At
eight points forty downs to assists in thirty

467
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:48.400
minutes, not much to report.
Jamary mcdell also didn't do a speech,

468
00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:53.200
didn't a score, and played just
three minutes. A Marco Jackson should give

469
00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:57.039
a speech for how bad he's been
uh hit a jump only played six minutes,

470
00:30:57.079 --> 00:31:00.960
and Parker Brown didn't I can into
the final minute, presumably because of

471
00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:04.960
an ankle injury that's been bothering him
for this past week. Yeah, it

472
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:08.880
was unusual that Parker didn't play.
It just it actually led to Bill self

473
00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:14.519
utilizing kJ Adams at the five a
little bit and tint, uh these guys,

474
00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:15.880
I don't know, man, I'm
not so sure about Furfey. Like

475
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:21.119
Furfey had a really quick ascent.
And remember people were talking about with O

476
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:22.319
Chai too, They were like,
hey, you might go throw up for

477
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:26.880
one. Yeah, so uh eighteen
nineteen, Oh Chai, it's so similar.

478
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:33.640
I'm I'm just reading what Nick says
and this is all that's going through

479
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:41.640
now it relates to Johnny Furfey.
I think I think that top twenty is

480
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:45.160
the answer. If Furfee is going
to be a top twenty pick, he

481
00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:48.799
will leave right now. I've seen
it in about half and half. If

482
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:52.039
he's less than that, I think
he comes back, and he is priority

483
00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:56.480
too, more than any recruit out
there, because I think Furfey feels like

484
00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:00.599
a lock for most Improved Player candidate. He would go off if they brought

485
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:02.640
him back, he would be like
a seventeen points a game next year.

486
00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:07.920
Seventeen points a game guy next year. I think I think that's very on

487
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:10.680
the table. If he returns,
he'll be at least be in the mid

488
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:15.640
teens. At least Patrick Cassidy will
return the name. I don't know if

489
00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:19.039
we have said on the show.
Yeah, I don't know either. But

490
00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:23.119
you know, he had one more
basket in this game than Tyler Perry did.

491
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:27.839
He needed a goaltending call to get
there, but yeah, Perry was

492
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:30.640
zero for six. Also, Mike
Djenkovic made a free throw. So here's

493
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:37.240
a question for you. Michael Djankovic
has played ninety seven career minutes. How

494
00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:43.519
many points has he scored in his
career? I don't know, like thirty?

495
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:52.960
Nick, Nick, you got a
guess are you still thinking? I

496
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:59.279
don't know? Thirty five? Michael
Jenkovic has scored fifty points in his career.

497
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:04.119
He never ever would have guessed that. He also has made fourteen threes

498
00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:07.519
fourteen for thirty three in his career. He's made five threes this year.

499
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:13.039
Would you like to guess how many
Elmarco Jackson has made this year? Hie

500
00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:19.440
twelve. It's not he's well.
Thank Oklahoma State for that, because that

501
00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:22.799
would be a lot closer if it
weren't a week ago it was. It

502
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:25.599
was more interesting. Yeah, closing
thoughts on this game. It was good

503
00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:30.000
to see them squash Case State and
extend the senior nights streak. Forty five

504
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:34.920
percent from the floor, forty six
percent from three six of thirteen there,

505
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:37.559
ninety percent at the line, plus
ten on the glass, and just six

506
00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:42.519
turnovers. All of those stats very
very good numbers. I assume we are

507
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:46.799
pleased two thumbs up with hanging ninety
on a top twenty defense. Indeed,

508
00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:50.720
I'm doing two thumbs up. They
looked really good. It was really nice

509
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:54.240
to see hopefully Nick Timberlake. Maybe
that breaks him out. Maybe that's his

510
00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:59.039
Malik Newman moment. Maybe that's his
Remy Martin moment, and he's gonna be

511
00:33:59.079 --> 00:34:01.319
a great player in the rest of
the season. He doesn't have to be

512
00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:07.240
anywhere near as impactful as those guys
to have a huge impact on what Kansas

513
00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:13.079
can do in March. Incoming up
one for eight game at Houston with four

514
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:17.000
turnovers, I think that's decently possible. Yeah. I had a couple of

515
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:21.000
people in the mentions too. This
is just proof that k Twitter is never

516
00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:22.440
going to be happy. I was
like, ky State is a top twenty

517
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:25.719
to ten pound defense, which they
were before this game. People are like,

518
00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:30.480
yeah, but they gave up eighty
to kill West Virginia and it's like,

519
00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:34.320
oh my god, I don't make
this up. I just report the

520
00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:38.239
news. What do you want?
All you do is complain on the Twitter

521
00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:45.079
webs about one hundred Dickinson sucking ass
and Bill self not knowing how to recruit

522
00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:50.559
and everything's bad and they're gonna be
a three seed, Like, seriously,

523
00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:53.320
what do you want? Kansas?
They want? They want they want perfection.

524
00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:58.400
They want forty to zero with championships
every season, no flaws, team

525
00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:01.719
that shoots forty percent as a team
from three uh and a guy that goes

526
00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:05.760
for I don't know, like twenty
and fifteen a game. People really don't

527
00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:07.480
know how good they have it with
Bill self, Like, yeah, I

528
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:12.840
think now on the court, you
think this season is is some Just wait

529
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:16.480
until they have like an actual like
a new coach and an actual down stretch

530
00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:22.239
like the Louisville Louisville I don't know
if you remember this game. It was

531
00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:28.119
right before Christmas in twenty nineteen,
right before COVID struck. Louisville was number

532
00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:31.280
one in the country and they lost
to Chris Beard's Texas Tech team in Madison

533
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:37.079
Square Garden. They were first nationally. That was three years and two months

534
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:42.039
ago, and they've won like nine
games in the last thirty six months.

535
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:46.440
Like it is not by any stretch
out of the possibility that you can fall

536
00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:51.639
fast and Bill Seal's not gonna be
here forever it is. It blows my

537
00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:57.760
mind how Kansas fans kick and pout
and moan and they're gonna be a three

538
00:35:57.800 --> 00:36:01.760
seed with a high ceiling, Like, man, I just don't know one

539
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:07.719
hundred acats in the expectation is thirty
points, twenty rebounds, and twenty blocks.

540
00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:12.840
And if he got that, we'd
bitch about how his effort sucked and

541
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:15.760
if he's diving on the floor for
loose everything. We complain about his attitude,

542
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:20.039
like there is just no way for
these guys to win. And then

543
00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:23.440
you see Patrick Cassidy yeat himself out
of bounds to try to get Mike Jenkovic

544
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:27.960
another shot at a senior night bucket, and you're like, wow, I

545
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:30.960
feel kind of stupid acting like these
guys don't care. Come on, it's

546
00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:36.039
just sports, and they're really good. Kansas's worst teams? What are they

547
00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:38.639
ranked? Fourteen? This is the
worst team in the self era according to

548
00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:45.599
Twitter. It's not but according to
Twitter, and they're top fifteen. Yeah,

549
00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:47.239
the fact that this team doesn't have
Marcus Garrett on it does mean that

550
00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:52.920
it is not the worst phil self
team. Hey, that's so, what

551
00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:58.320
would you do if Marcus Garrett announced
he was coming back to Kansas to play

552
00:36:58.360 --> 00:37:01.719
next year? At the point,
would you be like and retire? Yeah?

553
00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:07.280
I think i'd. I think I'd
go find like the closest Creighton outlet

554
00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:10.119
shop and and for the team up
in Omaha. I like that. I

555
00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:14.280
like it. Tell me before I
blow the air horn, see if you

556
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:17.840
remember what were Marcus Garrett stats his
last year at Kansas, because you remember

557
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:22.400
him for being quite bad. Do
you remember his final season stats? Take

558
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:24.840
a guess. I think he averaged
He averaged like an okay amount of points

559
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:28.400
if I remember well, it was
like twelve or thirteen, and he had

560
00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:34.119
like four rebounds and like six sists
or something like that. He was actually

561
00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:37.800
worse than you remember him and you
hate his guts. He was. He

562
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:44.559
averaged as a senior ten point nine
points, three point seven assists and shot

563
00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:50.039
thirty four percent on three how many
points? Ten point nine? Man?

564
00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:54.559
He was No, he was worse
than to one Harris and it's it ain't

565
00:37:54.599 --> 00:38:01.679
close, which is wild wild I
should post, I should post on ku

566
00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:07.639
Twitter who was the better basketball player
at Kansas, Marcus Garrett or Hunter Dickinson.

567
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:14.079
Well, that is people there.
There will be people who are like

568
00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:17.079
delusional that say Marcus Garrett. They
that'd be crazy, but you will get

569
00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:20.840
people to say that, Yeah,
I know what, I don't know.

570
00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:23.159
Guys. On one hand, I
got the conference leader in points and rebounds

571
00:38:23.159 --> 00:38:27.719
and field goal percentage and a guy
who's gonna score three thousand in his career.

572
00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:30.280
And on the other hand, I
got I just wanted to dribble around

573
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:34.280
for twenty seconds of the shot clock
and then get swatted by a much better

574
00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:37.239
basketball player at the rim. Say
that's too close to call. I don't

575
00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:40.239
know, Like that's you know who
knows? All right? Now? The

576
00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:44.199
ad at the top of my screen
it was about Kansas State Blue Cross Grouse

577
00:38:44.239 --> 00:38:47.639
shield. Now it says fentanyl is
dangerous, not all pills are real,

578
00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:57.559
and one pill can kill Landa's like, sign me up, Marcus Garrett highlights.

579
00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:00.440
If Landon suddenly starts watching more Mark
Scarrett tape, then I'm gonna know

580
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:06.400
that some fentanyl has been sent to
his house. What the interview pill?

581
00:39:13.400 --> 00:39:16.400
Big twelve Games? Well, guys, I don't know about you, but

582
00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:22.039
I think that I am about done
this year with Big twelve games, because

583
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:24.400
seriously, if you gave me a
pen and a paper and you said,

584
00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:29.239
right down, five interesting Big twelve
games this year, honest to god,

585
00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:31.840
I don't know if I could get
there. What interesting Big twelve games not

586
00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:36.079
involving Kansas? Can you remember?
I remember? There's two had immediately come

587
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:43.239
to mind, the Baylor TCU triple
overtime game. Yeah, that's one,

588
00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:45.559
Yes, that was that was the
other one. The game at aimes.

589
00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:51.679
Yeah, Like, seriously, what
Oklahoma beat Oklahoma State on a buzzer beater

590
00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:54.440
at the end of overtime and no
one cares because it's Oklahoma. And I

591
00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:59.320
feel like every other game in this
conference has been Houston or Iowa State beating

592
00:39:59.360 --> 00:40:04.320
somebody six sixty seven to sixty two. Just probably had a couple interesting ones

593
00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:07.440
that were decently high scoring that I
can't remember. Uh, b okay,

594
00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:13.519
let's just let's just throw it.
I remember so BYU basketball schedule. I

595
00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:17.159
remember one game in particular that they
played and involved they want to Yeah,

596
00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:22.719
it involved Bill self and at Alan
Fieldhouse. That's that's what I remember about

597
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:30.280
that one. Uh BYU basketball schedule. Uh they beat Let's see nope,

598
00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:34.800
Landa. There's absolutely nothing interesting here
at all, Like there's there's just nothing

599
00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:39.559
that's too bad. Oh maybe the
BYU UCF game that was ninety to eighty

600
00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:43.400
eight, because they were like seventy
five free throws taken. I don't know.

601
00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:46.639
I think that eliminates it from this
from discussions right on. That alone,

602
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:50.599
just a lot of fouls. And
speaking of a lot of fouls,

603
00:40:50.599 --> 00:40:55.360
how about this game number eleven Baylor
ninety three Texas eighty five. That was

604
00:40:55.440 --> 00:41:00.960
Kansas's best shot to get into the
top four five with a loss on Saturday,

605
00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:07.239
and there it goes. Despite trailing
for double digits most of the night,

606
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:13.280
Baylor used a twenty one to two
second half run overcome Texas, essentially

607
00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:16.239
lock up third place in the Big
Twelve. Jalen Bridges huge night on senior

608
00:41:16.280 --> 00:41:21.239
Day. He had thirty two points
for the Bears run. You guys are

609
00:41:21.239 --> 00:41:23.639
gonna have to sit down before I
tell you this. Before Landon said this,

610
00:41:23.719 --> 00:41:29.880
but Rodney Terry led Texas, blew
a lead. I know that's amazing.

611
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:32.719
But he did have one based thing, and that was blaming the refs

612
00:41:34.239 --> 00:41:36.639
after this loss. That might be
the best thing he's ever done. He

613
00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:42.599
was probably right. Baylor took forty
two free throws. Texas was called for

614
00:41:42.679 --> 00:41:47.000
twenty seven fouls. That's absurd.
A thirty three point effort from Max Asmis

615
00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:55.440
was wasted. And I feel bad
for Max Asmis because he's a really good

616
00:41:55.480 --> 00:42:00.360
basketball player. He's one of the
best basketball players in the country. Uh,

617
00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:04.719
and he plays for Texas, and
that's really sad. He's just he's

618
00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:09.000
wasting what would otherwise be an extremely
notable college basketball career at Texas. So

619
00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:13.800
Texas has Max Asmis, who's three
thousand points scorer, like a top ten

620
00:42:13.880 --> 00:42:15.239
scorer ever in the NCAA. I
know he's got an extra year, but

621
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:19.159
a stud. They got Dylan to
Sue, who's a monster. They got

622
00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:22.960
Dylan Mitchell who's very good. They
have a Tyree Hunter who was Big Twelve

623
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:25.239
Defensive Player of the Year and Big
Twelve Freshman of the Year. And they

624
00:42:25.320 --> 00:42:30.599
still suck. But Rodney Terry just
needs to complain in the postgame presser about

625
00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:35.559
the other team. That's all it
matters, right Ryan, Yeah, he's

626
00:42:35.559 --> 00:42:38.400
been more focused on horns down than
he has on getting his team to win.

627
00:42:38.719 --> 00:42:43.679
How the heck is this team considered
safe in the NCAA tournament discussion?

628
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:46.199
Do you know who Texas's best non
conference win was? On the top of

629
00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:50.960
the top of your head, it's
not good. Yeah, that was That's

630
00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:53.559
who I think it is. Let's
see here, a quick Google search shows

631
00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:58.920
that they got blasted by Yukon.
They got blasted by Marquette, LSU and

632
00:42:59.039 --> 00:43:04.119
Louisville are the only Power five teams
that they beat. Yeah, they're and

633
00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:06.760
they're in the Big twelve right now. I think they have a losing record.

634
00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:09.039
They're eight to nine. How is
that team? You cannot tell me

635
00:43:09.079 --> 00:43:13.960
that that team has a better resume
than Kansas State. No, they should

636
00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:16.400
not be. They should not be. Just that's the dollar sign effect.

637
00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:20.360
I guess somebody who will definitely not
be in the loser of this game.

638
00:43:20.440 --> 00:43:25.440
Texas tex seventy five, Oklahoma State
just awful fifty eight. Nick. This

639
00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:30.960
game was never close. No,
a lot of these games this week aren't

640
00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:37.440
that close. But it was thirty
five to seventeen, thirty five to thirteen,

641
00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:42.400
nineteen points in pop Isaacs. Texas
Tech will clinch a double bye in

642
00:43:42.440 --> 00:43:45.480
the Date twelve tournament if they can
beat Baylor on Saturday. That is a

643
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:47.440
tall task. Must be nice.
They only have to play Kansas and Iowa

644
00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:52.360
State one seats. Uh huh.
Oklahoma State, they are buns. Yeah.

645
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:55.519
If you look up the fart sound
on the soundboard, you get fart

646
00:43:55.559 --> 00:44:00.760
with reverb. I think that should
be renamed Mike Boyton at Oklahoma State because

647
00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:04.840
just a they are so bad.
Got to be done. He's got to

648
00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:07.000
be done with Oklahoma State after this
year. Yeah, I would think it'll

649
00:44:07.079 --> 00:44:09.960
it'll be a black Monday in the
NFL kind of situation, I assume,

650
00:44:10.599 --> 00:44:15.840
Yeah, who is I knew Nick
was gonna pull that out. Yeah.

651
00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:21.320
Who is the worst coach in the
Big twelve? Probably Porter, Moser or

652
00:44:21.400 --> 00:44:28.199
Ron everybody, Terry. Yeah,
I think it is too and I would

653
00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:31.159
listen to Porter or Boyton. Boyton's
been there longer, but he's made a

654
00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:36.159
Sweet sixteen. Porter is gonna make
the tournament this year. I have no

655
00:44:36.239 --> 00:44:38.800
idea why people would want that.
H and he's never made a tournament at

656
00:44:38.800 --> 00:44:43.400
OU and they're just there. I
feel like Oklahoma State has at least had

657
00:44:43.400 --> 00:44:45.800
a couple of teams in the last
couple of last handful of years. I've

658
00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:49.360
been like, oh, they're kind
of a scrappy bunch. I I can't

659
00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:53.599
remember anything interesting Oklahoma basketball has done
since Buddy healed. Trey Young was interesting.

660
00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:58.000
I always think that Trey Young was
first because I feel like he's been

661
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.440
in the league for so long.
But yes, they have not and that

662
00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:04.920
team was lousy too. That team
was not good. Remember when they were

663
00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:07.960
ranked like fourth in the country there
for a second. Yeah, and then

664
00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:10.079
Kansas thirty ball them. I think
that was they did one hundred and four

665
00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:15.519
to seventy four one of the more
satisfying victories. Yep, that was whenever

666
00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:17.480
they were starting to assent at the
end of the year. So if you're

667
00:45:17.519 --> 00:45:22.880
looking for Trey Young's alma mater,
not as exciting anymore. Oklahoma seventy four,

668
00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:27.079
Cincinnati seventy one. This game was
an overtime. Really ticked me off

669
00:45:27.119 --> 00:45:30.639
because I wanted Cincinnati to win,
because you have to understand, I hate

670
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:35.119
Oklahoma. I was rooting for Oklahoma
to not make the tournament. And this

671
00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:37.360
this friggin centner gets fouled when they're
down too with a second left, and

672
00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:40.599
he bricks the free throw. He
could deem latin's his way to I got

673
00:45:40.639 --> 00:45:45.840
this, and then here comes for
the tie. No, the Bearcats led

674
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:50.639
by five with two minutes left and
lost it. Oklahoma forced overtime after said

675
00:45:50.679 --> 00:45:54.440
misfree throw, and then they got
eighteen points from la Trey Darthird. This

676
00:45:54.480 --> 00:45:58.239
is their twentieth win of the year. That should be enough to get in

677
00:45:58.280 --> 00:46:01.280
the NCAA Tournament. But they haven't
beaten anybody good. They didn't beat Baylor,

678
00:46:01.320 --> 00:46:06.159
they didn't beat Kansas, they didn't
beat Houston. Like, are okay

679
00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:10.599
have fun? There're gonna be a
ten seed that gets handled by whatever seven

680
00:46:10.679 --> 00:46:15.000
mid major seed. They get yuck, right, any no one thinks Oklahoma

681
00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:22.440
is doing anything in March. No, and they very very rarely have when

682
00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:24.360
they when they make an Elite eight
with Buddy, is that is that the

683
00:46:24.360 --> 00:46:29.559
final fourth? Buddy, that's right? And they just got oh my goodness

684
00:46:29.639 --> 00:46:35.719
bent over by Villanova that night.
Yep, they experience with that happening against

685
00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:39.000
Villanova in the final four. Definitely
not and especially not in that same tournament

686
00:46:39.000 --> 00:46:46.800
to Villanova's I even have that on
the board. Ah, it's not on

687
00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:52.679
the new soundboard website I use,
so you suck on. That's big for

688
00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:57.599
club. Basically, there's no proof
of that on this soundboard. Sir.

689
00:46:58.320 --> 00:47:00.840
What is the last time Ocalhoma made
the tournament? They make it? They

690
00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:06.360
were like a three with Krueger,
right, they didn't do anything where they

691
00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:10.559
are Austin last time they Oh,
yeah, that team I do think made

692
00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:15.159
it, didn't they in twenty twenty
one like the COVID year. Let's see

693
00:47:15.199 --> 00:47:19.840
here, this is not relevant.
Yeah, that team was sixteen and eleven.

694
00:47:20.119 --> 00:47:22.400
They were nine and eight in the
Big twelve, and they gave him

695
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:24.920
an eight seed. They beat Missouri
and then just got depants by Gonzaga.

696
00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:30.119
Gonzaga is like almost perfect team.
Oklahoma's played the worst Big Twelve schedule I've

697
00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:36.840
ever seen. They've got to play
Cincinnati in West Virginia twice. Yeah,

698
00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:39.519
and uh, they did play Kansas
twice, but I think they they avoided

699
00:47:39.519 --> 00:47:45.119
a trip to Houston. They avoided
at trip at Houston. I don't know.

700
00:47:45.199 --> 00:47:46.679
They only played Iowa State once.
No, they played Iowa State twice

701
00:47:46.679 --> 00:47:52.199
because they beat Iowa State that they
played them once and beat them. So

702
00:47:52.239 --> 00:47:59.000
Oklahoma was a nine seed two Austin
games. OHU was a nine seed in

703
00:47:59.000 --> 00:48:02.199
twenty twenty one. They they were
a nine seed in twenty nineteen with Trey

704
00:48:02.280 --> 00:48:07.679
Young. They were a ten seed
in twenty eighteen. Like, I don't

705
00:48:07.679 --> 00:48:10.599
need this absolute booty cheeks of a
basketball team to get any run in the

706
00:48:10.719 --> 00:48:14.840
NCAA tournament. That is exactly what
they're gonna be this year, and they're

707
00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:19.239
not gonna win a tournament game.
They are complete ass. I just have

708
00:48:19.320 --> 00:48:23.000
passion for it. A team that's
certainly not as Kansas's next opponent Number one

709
00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:29.400
Houston sixty seven, Central Florida fifty
nine a little closer than we thought.

710
00:48:29.440 --> 00:48:32.840
It'd be Yeah. The Cougars were
tested trailing for the first twenty seven minutes

711
00:48:32.880 --> 00:48:35.960
of the game, but they use
an eight to ho run midway through the

712
00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:39.599
second half to build an insurmountable lead. L J. Cryer scored twenty five.

713
00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:44.639
Houston's twenty seven and three. Overall, they won eight straight conference games

714
00:48:44.679 --> 00:48:47.239
and thirteen in the last fourteen.
They started one to two in conference play,

715
00:48:47.239 --> 00:48:52.719
and they are twenty seven and three. The only loss since the one

716
00:48:52.719 --> 00:48:57.679
and two start is at Allen field
House, something that I don't think will

717
00:48:57.719 --> 00:49:01.000
happen spoilers from my pick. I
don't think that's gonna happen Saturday. No,

718
00:49:01.199 --> 00:49:06.400
It's gonna be a real tough matchup
for Kansas on Saturday. Houston is

719
00:49:06.440 --> 00:49:08.800
the take that I got the worst. I got the most wrong. I

720
00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:12.840
thought that they'd be pretty good.
I just thought that they would wear down

721
00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:15.400
in the Big twelve. Over the
course of the season, we've seen teams

722
00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:20.079
like Central Florida and Cincinnati really kind
of wilt down the stretch. It's just

723
00:49:20.119 --> 00:49:22.880
not something they're used to. Houston
has just taken their style that worked in

724
00:49:22.920 --> 00:49:27.000
the AAC and they picked it up
and plopped it right in the Big twelve,

725
00:49:27.039 --> 00:49:30.519
and it's continued to work an incredibly
impressive run. I'm a little skeptical

726
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:32.840
on how far they can go because
I don't think that their talent ceiling is

727
00:49:32.840 --> 00:49:36.719
as high as some of the other
elite teams. They just play really,

728
00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:39.119
really within their limits as a team, and they're very well coached. We'll

729
00:49:39.119 --> 00:49:43.320
see what can happen. But yes, they are excellent and a slam dunk.

730
00:49:43.440 --> 00:49:46.079
Number one seed in the NCAA is
twenty seven and three, number six

731
00:49:46.159 --> 00:49:49.920
Iowa State sixty eight, number twenty
BYU, Nick, tell me about this

732
00:49:49.960 --> 00:49:53.360
because I want a monolog about Iowa
State. The Cyclones were down fourteen early

733
00:49:53.400 --> 00:49:57.519
in the second half, but they
roared back behind nineteen points from tam and

734
00:49:57.559 --> 00:50:00.039
Lipsey to escape. BYU. In
stand the B twelve, I A would

735
00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:04.079
say when eighteen to know what a
Hilton costum this year? How good are

736
00:50:04.079 --> 00:50:13.800
they? Exactly? Land on you
first. I think they are pretty good.

737
00:50:14.079 --> 00:50:15.039
I think what Ryan is going to
get at is that they're a little

738
00:50:15.079 --> 00:50:20.199
lucky, which I think is actually
probably somewhat true. I don't know if

739
00:50:20.199 --> 00:50:22.199
they're thirteen and four good, but
I don't think you can go thirteen and

740
00:50:22.280 --> 00:50:27.960
four in the Big twelve and actually
suck. So I think they're they're pretty

741
00:50:27.960 --> 00:50:31.079
good team. I think they're gonna
be a pretty deserving two seed. That

742
00:50:31.280 --> 00:50:35.760
is all about what I was gonna
say. Yeah, it helps whenever you

743
00:50:35.800 --> 00:50:38.239
don't have to go to Lubbock or
Lawrence. This year, probably the two

744
00:50:38.239 --> 00:50:43.039
toughest home court environments Iowa State could
play at because you take Hilton off their

745
00:50:43.079 --> 00:50:46.000
list. I think that they Iowa
State, Baylor, Texas Tech in Kansas,

746
00:50:46.039 --> 00:50:50.320
and probably BYU for that matter.
They all feel about eleven and six,

747
00:50:50.400 --> 00:50:55.000
do they not? Yeah, some
are a little better. I think

748
00:50:55.039 --> 00:51:00.360
that's not unfair to say that's Landa's
NAE take I don't. I think that's

749
00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:02.960
not unfair. Instead of just saying
that's fair, I think I'm gonna say

750
00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:07.880
that's not unfair. Like Iowa State
has gotten a nice scheduling draw for the

751
00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:13.320
most part with the road games for
sure, and they've they've obviously taken care

752
00:51:13.320 --> 00:51:15.599
of business. They lost their conference
open or to OU, and they've won

753
00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:19.679
thirteen of the last sixteen. But
yeah, it feels like that, you

754
00:51:19.679 --> 00:51:22.280
know, some of these teams are
on the wrong end of some four point

755
00:51:22.400 --> 00:51:24.440
l's. Iowa States on the right
end of those four point wins. Part

756
00:51:24.440 --> 00:51:28.400
of it absolutely credit to them.
They're playing great basketball. They're very well

757
00:51:28.440 --> 00:51:30.360
coached. I do not think there
is anybody who you can with a straight

758
00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:35.440
face put in front of TJ Olzelberger
for National Coach of the Year. Definitively

759
00:51:35.559 --> 00:51:37.599
right now. But when it's done, you if they're a three seed,

760
00:51:37.800 --> 00:51:39.480
I don't know. If they're a
two seed, by the way, Land

761
00:51:39.480 --> 00:51:42.599
and look at the non con schedule, it's one of the sixth worst in

762
00:51:42.639 --> 00:51:45.079
the country. If they bow out
in the Big twelve tournament and they're a

763
00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:49.760
three seed, what it's done.
You a six seed Creighton took them down.

764
00:51:50.800 --> 00:51:53.440
I don't think it would. I
think they're kind of fortunate, fortunate.

765
00:51:53.800 --> 00:51:55.920
I could see it. I could
see it, and it would be,

766
00:51:55.960 --> 00:52:00.920
you know, super uncharacteristic of Big
twelve teams to show in the oh

767
00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:04.199
right, Yeah, that does not
happen, not on and not as long

768
00:52:04.239 --> 00:52:07.159
as Damnit is in charge. And
honestly, he's one of the ones you

769
00:52:07.159 --> 00:52:10.679
can count on to go further than
the rest. TCU ninety three West Virginia

770
00:52:10.719 --> 00:52:14.719
eighty one. Good game for the
horn Frogs. They got to play West

771
00:52:14.760 --> 00:52:17.800
Virginia twice. Must be nice.
TCU made a season high eleven threes and

772
00:52:17.840 --> 00:52:22.119
Emmanuel Miller scored twenty one points as
they won at West Virginia simply because they

773
00:52:22.159 --> 00:52:28.079
are not coached by Bill who has
his head up as so much they the

774
00:52:28.119 --> 00:52:32.119
Mountaineers are nine and twenty one.
They are just just awful. Just a

775
00:52:32.199 --> 00:52:37.119
wet dog. The smell of wet
dog that is West Virginia dog. Oh

776
00:52:37.239 --> 00:52:44.519
yeah, yep, excellent drop one
of Nick's best three contributions to this show.

777
00:52:44.559 --> 00:52:47.880
If one of my three best contributions
to this show is the Villanova take

778
00:52:47.920 --> 00:52:52.360
of death, then you at least
getta get that. Oh not that one,

779
00:52:52.400 --> 00:52:55.960
this one. Eleven years later.
Yep, eleven years in and I

780
00:52:57.000 --> 00:53:00.239
still don't know what buttons to press. Big twelve standing the Penn Ultimate List.

781
00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:04.880
Houston is fourteen and three. Will
do you even talk about TCU West

782
00:53:04.920 --> 00:53:07.960
Virginia? Yep? You were too
busy thinking things were fair to listen.

783
00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:15.599
You're watching. So Louis Suarez just
hit a game in Nashville, So I

784
00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:19.880
said, West Virginia is a wet
dog. Number two Iowa State They're thirteen

785
00:53:19.920 --> 00:53:23.360
and four. Number three Baylor is
eleven and six. Fourth place is Texas

786
00:53:23.440 --> 00:53:28.400
Tech and Kansas but they are behind
the Red Raiders and the tie breaker because

787
00:53:28.440 --> 00:53:32.880
they only played them once. They're
ten and seven, number six the two

788
00:53:34.239 --> 00:53:37.400
uh no, there's there's three three
letters, b y U, TCU,

789
00:53:37.840 --> 00:53:44.159
very horny, nine and eight Yeah, in eighth place, goodbye, you're

790
00:53:44.159 --> 00:53:49.599
heading to the it means more conference. Texas and Oklahoma trash trash exit to

791
00:53:49.679 --> 00:53:52.079
the conference. They're eight and nine
yeah, as nick or another way you

792
00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:58.079
could say that is in eighth place
is and they're eight and nine. Tenth

793
00:53:58.159 --> 00:54:04.960
place is also Kansas State is seven
and ten, in eleventh, six and

794
00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:12.039
eleven, Cincinnati and UCF and in
thirteenth in the seller Oklahoma State. I

795
00:54:12.039 --> 00:54:16.159
can't believe Mike Poyton hasn't been fired
yet in West Virginia four and thirteen.

796
00:54:17.079 --> 00:54:21.480
Yuck, just a bunch of awful. There's gonna be several new coaches in

797
00:54:21.519 --> 00:54:22.880
the Big twelve next year. First
of all, you're adding four teams.

798
00:54:23.159 --> 00:54:27.599
Second off, Mike Pointon's definitely done. West Virginia. I'm sure is gonna

799
00:54:27.639 --> 00:54:31.119
make a higher I would think that. I don't. I don't think that

800
00:54:31.199 --> 00:54:35.760
anybody else is gonna get fired.
But I mean that's that's a handful there.

801
00:54:35.800 --> 00:54:37.639
Sixteen I don't know, teams is
too many for a basketball conference.

802
00:54:37.639 --> 00:54:40.920
The play is eight ye season games. Who knows what's going on with your

803
00:54:42.000 --> 00:54:45.000
home tang And I don't know about
Cincinnati's situation. I can't wait for one.

804
00:54:45.039 --> 00:54:50.480
I can't wait for Houston or Iowa
State to play all of the worst

805
00:54:50.519 --> 00:54:55.159
teams in the conference and play maybe
Kansas once. Yeahs and Kansas is Kansas

806
00:54:55.199 --> 00:54:59.719
is gonna draw Arizona, Baylor,
and Houston as their to literally play home

807
00:54:59.760 --> 00:55:02.559
and home with every top team in
the conference in Oklahoma State where they've never

808
00:55:02.559 --> 00:55:07.199
had trouble. Yeah, not recently, but maybe not without bointing. I

809
00:55:07.199 --> 00:55:12.239
guess other games, Well, I
know you guys are sitting there on pins

810
00:55:12.280 --> 00:55:15.320
and needles waiting to see who's gonna
win the Atlantic Coast Conference. But you're

811
00:55:15.320 --> 00:55:20.280
gonna have to wait till Saturday.
As number nine Duke impressively beat North Carolina

812
00:55:20.320 --> 00:55:24.559
State by fifteen on the road and
number seven North Carolina whipped Notre Dame at

813
00:55:24.599 --> 00:55:29.079
home. Both teams are fifteen to
four. They will play for the conference

814
00:55:29.119 --> 00:55:34.000
crown and ESPN's wet dream this weekend. And yeah, this is This is

815
00:55:34.039 --> 00:55:37.159
truly their most sensual desire. Yeah, it's Duke in North Carolina play for

816
00:55:37.199 --> 00:55:42.280
the ACC title. Which of those
two teams is the better bet to go

817
00:55:42.320 --> 00:55:45.280
further in the Turney and I think
it's obvious? Yep, I think it

818
00:55:45.400 --> 00:55:47.920
is too. I didn't. I
was underwhelmed with Duke. I still think

819
00:55:47.960 --> 00:55:51.559
their coach is kind of a dunt. So would it stun me if they

820
00:55:51.880 --> 00:55:54.440
do something stupid? No, but
they're more talented than North Carolina. They

821
00:55:54.440 --> 00:56:00.159
are a that roster's loaded. They
should be twenty four and six. R.

822
00:56:00.280 --> 00:56:04.719
J. Davis is the reason why
I say North Carolina. I think

823
00:56:04.760 --> 00:56:07.800
they both could go out very early
get compared to what they're expected. I

824
00:56:07.800 --> 00:56:09.360
think they both are flawed, but
I think Duke's the better team. I

825
00:56:09.360 --> 00:56:14.719
think they're gonna win on Saturday too. Number three Perdue clinch their second Big

826
00:56:14.760 --> 00:56:19.440
Ten title in a row, winning
at number twelve Illinois on everyone's favorite streaming

827
00:56:19.440 --> 00:56:22.920
service, Peacock, where you can
definitely watch the game. Everyone definitely has

828
00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:24.800
that and everyone knows how to get
it. Seventy seven to seventy one.

829
00:56:25.239 --> 00:56:29.599
I hate sports on streaming, by
the way, like screw off anyway.

830
00:56:29.880 --> 00:56:32.360
Twenty eight points from Zachi Edy.
They shot over fifty percent from three.

831
00:56:32.800 --> 00:56:37.880
The Boilermakers are twenty seven and three. Are we more confident in this year's

832
00:56:37.880 --> 00:56:44.840
Perdue than in previous years? Absolutely? Yes, yes, I am too.

833
00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:50.599
This is the most lopsided lopsided top
teams. They're so separated from the

834
00:56:50.679 --> 00:56:55.039
pack. Houston, Yukon and Purduer
by far and away the best teams in

835
00:56:55.480 --> 00:57:00.119
college basketball this year. Yeah,
but every year we could say that it

836
00:57:00.159 --> 00:57:01.880
doesn't matter. Perdue has never won. One of those teams is winning the

837
00:57:01.920 --> 00:57:06.760
national championship. If I gave you
those odds, if I said those three

838
00:57:06.800 --> 00:57:12.800
teams of the field, what would
you do them? I think the smart

839
00:57:12.800 --> 00:57:15.239
bets always the field in the NCAA
tournament. I'm getting six I know that,

840
00:57:15.320 --> 00:57:19.280
Okay, they're not all way to
Usually a one seed wins the title,

841
00:57:19.320 --> 00:57:22.000
though, So that's three of them. I'm getting sixty three of sixty

842
00:57:22.039 --> 00:57:25.679
six options. I'll take the field
Landon, We'll say you, yeah,

843
00:57:25.880 --> 00:57:30.760
I'd have to go field. I'd
want to do some research on that and

844
00:57:30.760 --> 00:57:32.320
see what percentage of the time does
one of the top three seeds win it.

845
00:57:32.440 --> 00:57:36.480
Now it's fifty to fifty, you'd
probably get about even odds on that.

846
00:57:37.039 --> 00:57:40.280
Uh, if somebody maybe could be
this team. The SEC is also

847
00:57:40.360 --> 00:57:45.320
wrapped up number four. Tennessee followed
up their big win in Tuscalosa by I

848
00:57:45.320 --> 00:57:49.559
think doing something even more impressive,
coming back on an emotional high and winning

849
00:57:49.599 --> 00:57:53.039
again at number seventeen South Carolina sixty
six to fifty nine. Dalton next scored

850
00:57:53.079 --> 00:57:57.199
twenty six points and made five threes. The Balls have as good of a

851
00:57:57.199 --> 00:58:00.920
resume as anybody in the country and
they lost the Kansas. Are you feeling

852
00:58:00.960 --> 00:58:05.199
better about them than you were in
past years? I wouldn't be if it

853
00:58:05.199 --> 00:58:07.360
weren't for Dalton Next. He gives
them an X factor they don't normally have.

854
00:58:07.880 --> 00:58:10.360
That's the answer. They have one
of the five best players in college

855
00:58:10.400 --> 00:58:14.519
basketball. I think Tennessee is dangerous
and I will have them going to the

856
00:58:14.519 --> 00:58:17.239
Final four in my bracket. Oh, I can hear that Curb your enthusiasm

857
00:58:17.320 --> 00:58:22.719
music loading from there. But Michael
penciland Purdue to play them in the title

858
00:58:22.760 --> 00:58:28.000
game? Oh yeah, what the
final four? Two? Are you gonna

859
00:58:28.039 --> 00:58:30.679
go Purdue, Tennessee, Houston,
Kansas in the Final four? That's I

860
00:58:30.719 --> 00:58:35.000
gotta final four. I gotta have
Kentucky in there somewhere, sir, do

861
00:58:35.039 --> 00:58:38.199
you know who we are on this
show or A? Yeah, Nick,

862
00:58:38.320 --> 00:58:43.079
Nick knows all about that. And
I picked and I had the Prince.

863
00:58:43.280 --> 00:58:46.440
Yeah, okay. Elsewhere in the
SEC. Number fifteen, Kentucky, number

864
00:58:46.480 --> 00:58:52.159
thirteen, Auburn, number sixteen Alabama, and number seventeen South Carolina got all

865
00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:54.199
that. They're all tied for second
at twelve and five, two games behind

866
00:58:54.360 --> 00:58:59.920
the outright champion balls. Bama gave
up a bucko five in Gainesville, and

867
00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:02.639
Kentucky blew out Vanderbilt. Which one
of all those teams is the best,

868
00:59:02.679 --> 00:59:07.679
And tell me why it's Kentucky.
As I played Kirby your enthusiasm. Kentucky's

869
00:59:07.719 --> 00:59:13.480
the most talented, they really are. But their defense is their defense apocalyptic.

870
00:59:14.079 --> 00:59:16.239
Yeah, it's almost as bad as
Alabama's. And we're gonna pick them

871
00:59:16.280 --> 00:59:21.320
to go too far in the tournament. Again, Neither one of those two

872
00:59:21.320 --> 00:59:23.360
things are as bad as Missouri,
though. Who are on the doorsteps?

873
00:59:23.400 --> 00:59:28.760
They're they're well passed futility, but
they are on the doorsteps of truly historic

874
00:59:28.840 --> 00:59:32.400
futility. Would you say they're on
the knocking on your door? We're busting

875
00:59:32.519 --> 00:59:40.559
in a futility. We own seventeen
an sec play after getting blasted at home

876
00:59:40.599 --> 00:59:45.480
by number thirteen Auburn one oh four
to seventy four. The game that was

877
00:59:45.519 --> 00:59:51.039
only a five point game at half. Uh they got absolutely stoned. One

878
00:59:51.079 --> 00:59:54.599
to go to not be the Cleveland
Browns or Detroit Lions. Yeah, you

879
00:59:54.639 --> 00:59:59.000
could have won that. You could
have gotten into that game for four dollars.

880
00:59:59.039 --> 01:00:01.320
By the way, miss uppertun too
much, too much? Why are

881
01:00:01.360 --> 01:00:06.079
they charging people? They should be
paying people to go? That's true.

882
01:00:06.239 --> 01:00:10.559
Not a bad point. Someone breaking
into another guy's window, car window to

883
01:00:10.599 --> 01:00:16.920
put tickets in it. Take my
Miszoo tickets? Please, Nick, tell

884
01:00:16.920 --> 01:00:21.639
me about the Big East. The
Big East Race has been over for a

885
01:00:21.679 --> 01:00:24.199
while, but number two Yukon put
another exclamation point on it by beating Shaka

886
01:00:24.239 --> 01:00:30.519
Smart in Milwaukee seventy four to sixty
seven. Tyler Coliff didn't play, so

887
01:00:30.559 --> 01:00:34.400
the Huskies were favored. But they're
now twenty seven and three and locked in

888
01:00:34.480 --> 01:00:37.480
as the number one seed. Very
very good twelve part. We can also

889
01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:42.199
skip the West Coast in general and
go to ranked teams to lose and slash

890
01:00:42.199 --> 01:00:45.000
show. Oh but we have to
talk about the WCC. We just have

891
01:00:45.639 --> 01:00:52.039
happened ten o eight pm on a
Well, let me just go ahead and

892
01:00:52.079 --> 01:00:53.920
go to the box score. I
just want to make sure that I didn't

893
01:00:53.920 --> 01:00:58.360
miss anything. Okay, here I
go. I'm gonna click kick click on

894
01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:00.239
that. Oh, there's only one
game. I'm sure it wasn't that bad.

895
01:01:00.440 --> 01:01:06.559
Let's take a look at what happened
in Oh my goodness, Pepperdine in

896
01:01:06.679 --> 01:01:13.280
the was this Pacific? Pacific lost? Pacific scored thirty four points in the

897
01:01:13.320 --> 01:01:17.400
second half. How many total points
do you think they have? Well,

898
01:01:17.440 --> 01:01:21.199
I know how many they had in
the first half. And if you want

899
01:01:21.199 --> 01:01:27.719
anything that'll make you go, it's
the fact that Pepperdine led Pacific by scores

900
01:01:27.760 --> 01:01:32.519
of twenty six to zero, fifty
six to nine, and in the end

901
01:01:32.880 --> 01:01:39.159
nine one, one hundred and two
to forty three. And a basketball game.

902
01:01:40.599 --> 01:01:45.519
Boy, I have no idea how
Gonzaga manages to win that Balance League

903
01:01:45.559 --> 01:01:51.960
every year, good Lord Marrison,
Gonzaga rack up so many wins. Oh

904
01:01:52.000 --> 01:01:55.679
my gosh. Pacific was only an
eight point dog in that game, by

905
01:01:55.719 --> 01:02:00.039
the way, and they not that
good yet. Pepperdin's bad. Pepperdine's a

906
01:02:00.119 --> 01:02:06.519
twenty lost team. Here in twenty
four hours and they beat Pacific by fifty

907
01:02:06.639 --> 01:02:09.719
nine frickin' points. We have to
do some box score analyzing here. Pacific

908
01:02:09.800 --> 01:02:15.159
made fourteen baskets. They shot twenty
five percent from the floor. Pepperdine shot

909
01:02:15.199 --> 01:02:17.519
a nice Pepperdine shot a nice sixty
percent to that, by the way,

910
01:02:19.480 --> 01:02:22.920
and the really the rebounds fifty to
twenty six. Somebody be like, that's

911
01:02:22.960 --> 01:02:25.159
what happens. If you had a
whole team one Hunter Dickinson's, they'd get

912
01:02:25.199 --> 01:02:31.639
shred on the glass because he sucks. Pacific will in their season six and

913
01:02:31.679 --> 01:02:35.280
twenty six. I don't think they're
gonna make the tournament. One of just

914
01:02:35.360 --> 01:02:38.280
four teams that did not win a
single conference game this year. Another one

915
01:02:38.320 --> 01:02:45.559
of those teams. Well, and
also DePaul, who's going for oh for

916
01:02:45.639 --> 01:02:49.760
twenty this weekend, I think.
And yeah on the PAC twelve, that

917
01:02:49.920 --> 01:02:53.719
little week long spurt where we're like
Washington sit Nope Air at number five,

918
01:02:53.760 --> 01:02:58.880
Arizona wrapped up the outright title tonight
they blew out UCLA on the road,

919
01:02:59.039 --> 01:03:01.400
and number eighteen wash Ington State dropped
the turn at home to rival Washington.

920
01:03:01.480 --> 01:03:07.000
That ended fast zonas still not a
one seed. Give it to Tennessee ranked

921
01:03:07.039 --> 01:03:12.400
teams to lose since the last time
we did a podcast. Number eight Marquette

922
01:03:12.440 --> 01:03:15.639
they didn't have Tyler Cullock, but
they still lost to Yukon. Number twelve

923
01:03:15.639 --> 01:03:21.719
Illinois they lost to Purdue. Number
sixteen Alabama lost to Florida, Wrong place,

924
01:03:21.760 --> 01:03:25.559
wrong time, Number seventeen South Carolina
they're gonna be the five seed that

925
01:03:25.599 --> 01:03:30.559
loses to A twelve lost to Tennessee. Number eighteen, Washington State lost to

926
01:03:30.760 --> 01:03:37.599
Washington. Number twenty BYU lost Iowa
State, and number twenty one San Diego

927
01:03:37.679 --> 01:03:39.880
State lost to UNLV team who would
should be in the dance, but they

928
01:03:39.960 --> 01:03:44.480
lost the Air Force at home,
so they probably won't be. And last

929
01:03:44.519 --> 01:03:46.800
weekend pick them. Oh my goodness, Nick, you have just decided to

930
01:03:49.199 --> 01:03:52.920
vintage Bill self Big twelve, run
away and hide from everybody in clutch time

931
01:03:52.960 --> 01:03:59.199
in the race. Yeah, I
saw eleven plus twenty two over Lanin.

932
01:04:00.360 --> 01:04:03.519
So this is the eighth year or
the seventh year that the three of us

933
01:04:03.519 --> 01:04:06.280
have done this show, and we
add up our pickup scores every year,

934
01:04:06.320 --> 01:04:09.960
and we all have about the same
number in the grand scheme of things.

935
01:04:10.400 --> 01:04:13.599
Nick has won it out right three
times. Now I've won it out right

936
01:04:13.639 --> 01:04:17.239
three times. Now, Nick and
I shared a title once and Landon somehow

937
01:04:17.519 --> 01:04:23.960
against all odds. If I ask
for survey, says, then this is

938
01:04:23.960 --> 01:04:28.880
what would happen on If the question
was players who have won pick them and

939
01:04:28.960 --> 01:04:32.360
I answer land and Fields, it
would go no, you've never won it.

940
01:04:35.119 --> 01:04:39.920
Yeah, and I'm not even obviously
this year. I'm trash and Nick

941
01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:43.559
is also the goat this year.
So two things are happening. But like,

942
01:04:44.039 --> 01:04:47.719
I've not been this bad most years, Like I've been close ish many

943
01:04:47.760 --> 01:04:53.400
times. Yeah, you lost by
a single game. In twenty twenty,

944
01:04:54.079 --> 01:04:57.599
all four of us ended up within
a one game when one game of each

945
01:04:57.599 --> 01:05:02.679
other. Yeah, and that was
when the last however many games or whatever

946
01:05:02.760 --> 01:05:05.559
being canceled. We would have had
about twenty more Pickham games that year,

947
01:05:05.559 --> 01:05:10.159
but everything got canceled. Uh So
yeah, very close, Landing close,

948
01:05:10.199 --> 01:05:13.039
but no cigar. Maybe with Nick
out of the way next year as a

949
01:05:13.079 --> 01:05:15.639
regular, I think we should still
have Nick pick all the games, even

950
01:05:15.639 --> 01:05:17.880
if he's not on the show.
You have to beg Yeah, you have

951
01:05:17.960 --> 01:05:20.119
to. We're gonna call it.
We're gonna call it Nick them. And

952
01:05:20.159 --> 01:05:24.280
then this point, because he owns
my win, he has to come back.

953
01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:30.119
Oh, I like that season fourteen, Nick is back, ask GARCB.

954
01:05:31.239 --> 01:05:33.760
Yeah, ah, that's right.
I keep thinking it would take me

955
01:05:33.800 --> 01:05:38.000
two years to win. Yeah,
that's if we add up all this points.

956
01:05:38.079 --> 01:05:42.480
Yeah. At Stefan Timmy seventeen just
sends us a picture of Nick Timberlake's

957
01:05:42.480 --> 01:05:45.960
headshot. That's the question. Uh, yes, please, that's my that's

958
01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:49.039
my Please get going, please get
going? At this is this is good.

959
01:05:49.079 --> 01:05:53.920
This is a good question for both
of you guys. At b Hilsey

960
01:05:54.199 --> 01:05:56.960
three, I don't think we've ever
had this question, and I like it.

961
01:05:57.599 --> 01:06:01.760
Rank the following channels to watch,
Hey, basketball games on the ESPNS,

962
01:06:02.119 --> 01:06:10.679
Fox, CBS, ESPN plus what
was the last one? ESPN plus?

963
01:06:11.119 --> 01:06:14.880
Oh okay, Well, I think
I think CBS does the best broadcast.

964
01:06:14.920 --> 01:06:16.559
It also makes me think of March
Madness, so that's a plus.

965
01:06:16.960 --> 01:06:21.840
Also the best score bug and the
best music probably ESPN. After that,

966
01:06:21.840 --> 01:06:26.079
they're fine. They also the most
game so I'm the most used to them.

967
01:06:26.639 --> 01:06:30.360
Fox is his third. Fox is
fine. I think they do okay

968
01:06:30.360 --> 01:06:33.440
stuff. I like that Gus Johnson
calls games on Fox. I think that's

969
01:06:33.440 --> 01:06:40.239
fun. I think I would go
with like, uh like CBS Sports Network.

970
01:06:40.280 --> 01:06:44.320
That's somewhat different than CBS. After
that, I think I'd rather watch

971
01:06:44.440 --> 01:06:50.079
KU basketball on two B or free
v oh, rather like of those kind

972
01:06:50.119 --> 01:06:53.880
of things like Plex. Can you
get a KU basketball game on Plex?

973
01:06:53.920 --> 01:06:57.480
I think I would try that before
I would ESPN Deportest. I would try

974
01:06:57.519 --> 01:07:00.159
before Mundo I'd watch it in a
foreign line enguage first, whatever, whatever

975
01:07:00.639 --> 01:07:04.960
coversion of ESPN might be. Give
me TSN, the Canadian Sports Network.

976
01:07:04.960 --> 01:07:09.960
I would try TSN. They've probably
together an okay broadcast ky Sports, the

977
01:07:10.000 --> 01:07:13.079
Australian one. Yeah, that's the
vertision Australian one. Yeah, I try

978
01:07:13.079 --> 01:07:15.840
that. That's that's way better.
Probably ESPN Plus probably sitting around three four

979
01:07:15.920 --> 01:07:25.079
hundred on the list. Yeah,
ESPN Plus is no one needs any of

980
01:07:25.079 --> 01:07:30.199
that, Nick, I assume you
agree. Yeah. I So here's here's

981
01:07:30.239 --> 01:07:35.239
the thing. Love CBS's broadcast.
Even though the Jayhawks normally lose. I'm

982
01:07:35.239 --> 01:07:39.760
trying to think they don't play often
on Fox, but when they do,

983
01:07:39.800 --> 01:07:46.159
it's pretty good. And then as
far as the ESPN Plus broadcasts, yeah

984
01:07:46.280 --> 01:07:48.800
no, just yeah, I think
we've I think we I think we've don

985
01:07:48.840 --> 01:07:53.760
I think we're done here at k
Eeden fourteen. How many wins would an

986
01:07:53.840 --> 01:07:58.679
all KU team win in an NBA
season. Starters are Graham, Ubrey Wiggins,

987
01:07:58.679 --> 01:08:02.280
Marcus Morris, and Embiid and your
bench is Brown, Abagie Dick,

988
01:08:02.519 --> 01:08:08.039
Sphie Wilson, the other Morris and
Udoka. Eighty two games? How many

989
01:08:08.119 --> 01:08:15.719
they win and in a regular season? First number that came to mind was

990
01:08:15.760 --> 01:08:23.079
thirty five? Yeah, they're winning
a frick ton thirty four. Yeah,

991
01:08:23.560 --> 01:08:26.800
you wait, Land and you said
they're winning a lot. Yeah, I

992
01:08:26.840 --> 01:08:30.600
think they'd win a ton. That
thirty four is not a lot in the

993
01:08:30.640 --> 01:08:38.159
whole season. Yeah, maybe I
missed the question. Maybe I was distracted

994
01:08:38.199 --> 01:08:42.479
again. Eighty two games. That's
your that's your two for eighty two games.

995
01:08:42.960 --> 01:08:46.720
Oh oh, I see, I
see the MBA's really good. What'd

996
01:08:46.760 --> 01:08:49.960
you think the question was? I
thought it was a college season. I

997
01:08:50.000 --> 01:08:54.520
miss? Oh, yeah, No, the answer would be about the same

998
01:08:54.560 --> 01:09:00.279
in both college and yeah, they
would may, they'd be probably. I

999
01:09:00.279 --> 01:09:02.000
think they could maybe go slightly above
five hundred, but that would be about

1000
01:09:02.119 --> 01:09:06.840
No. I don't think that's a
five hundred team unless Embad is just well

1001
01:09:08.159 --> 01:09:11.720
you think, I mean, graty
grandy. Dick's been playing better too that

1002
01:09:11.760 --> 01:09:14.359
he's kind of the wild card.
Maybe he could give you something that Bozzi

1003
01:09:14.399 --> 01:09:17.560
hasn't done much fee and a lot
of bench guys. Who the second best

1004
01:09:17.600 --> 01:09:23.359
player on that team is Wiggins and
that wouldn't work? That's true. Yeah,

1005
01:09:23.359 --> 01:09:26.239
they might not be five Probably how
many games? How many games did

1006
01:09:26.239 --> 01:09:30.640
all those Timberwolves teams win with a
being the best player? They're they're the

1007
01:09:30.720 --> 01:09:33.920
Timberwolve teams. They have a stud
center, Wiggins is their second best option,

1008
01:09:34.159 --> 01:09:38.600
and they had a lot of nine
or tenth best team in the conference

1009
01:09:38.640 --> 01:09:45.520
seasons. The timberwo should draft Nick
Timberlake just for fun. That is NBA

1010
01:09:45.720 --> 01:09:49.119
GM Nick? Who? Yeah?
What? Why not? What would he

1011
01:09:49.159 --> 01:09:56.000
shoot in the NBA? Yeah?
At least that's better than us at Matt

1012
01:09:56.079 --> 01:10:00.399
Underscore Gallantine. Who are your favorite
March Madness announcers? Says Ian Eagles very

1013
01:10:00.399 --> 01:10:03.680
good or Ian Eagles very good?
Kevin Harlan and Reggie Miller are great.

1014
01:10:03.720 --> 01:10:09.039
I think it's probably Harlan and Miller. That's Kevin Harlan is just a jewel.

1015
01:10:09.880 --> 01:10:13.720
Kevin Harlan's one of like the three
best announcers working current Maybe just the

1016
01:10:13.840 --> 01:10:16.680
best. Nance is done though he's
done right? Last year? Was it?

1017
01:10:16.840 --> 01:10:20.479
Yeah? But all time he is
one of the best anything that's not

1018
01:10:20.720 --> 01:10:27.239
Sparrow Didas because oh my gosh,
nothing screams Panthers versus Colts at noon on

1019
01:10:27.279 --> 01:10:33.680
a Sunday like Sparrow Daisies calling the
games. I don't need that. Harland

1020
01:10:33.720 --> 01:10:40.199
is Reggie, They're they're the best
at Chris Underscore Easter. If Kansas beats

1021
01:10:40.239 --> 01:10:44.439
Houston and Tech beats Baylor, who
gets the three, four and five seeds

1022
01:10:44.439 --> 01:10:46.560
in the Big Trial Tournament? The
answer would be Tech three, Baylor four,

1023
01:10:46.640 --> 01:10:49.920
Kansas five. The Jayhawks the game
that's doing them a ton of damage

1024
01:10:50.000 --> 01:10:55.520
right now. That Jayhawks absolutely had
to have the BYU home game, that

1025
01:10:55.720 --> 01:11:00.119
is the one that killed your conference
seed, because that's a team you're competing

1026
01:11:00.159 --> 01:11:02.279
with. You lost the head to
head, you lost to lost ground a

1027
01:11:02.319 --> 01:11:05.479
bunch of other teams. I think
the only way KU gets a four seed

1028
01:11:05.520 --> 01:11:11.199
in the Big Twelve Tournament is if
Baylor wins over Tech to lock up the

1029
01:11:11.239 --> 01:11:15.079
three, and Kansas would move into
the four if they win. I think

1030
01:11:15.119 --> 01:11:18.600
that a Texas Tech win eliminates Kansas
from a top four seed, even if

1031
01:11:18.680 --> 01:11:23.439
Kansas wins by one hundred. I
think also Kansas losing to two of the

1032
01:11:23.479 --> 01:11:27.439
bottom four teams in the league doesn't
really help them here. Hey, UCF's

1033
01:11:27.439 --> 01:11:30.960
what like seven to ten or something
like that. They almost speaks. I

1034
01:11:30.960 --> 01:11:33.000
don't know. They're not horrible.
The West Virginia one you want back?

1035
01:11:35.359 --> 01:11:39.960
I would like the sixteen point lead
back against Central Florida, But that's fair.

1036
01:11:40.000 --> 01:11:44.039
I get that at Preston Skirsick.
Do you think that we are done

1037
01:11:44.079 --> 01:11:46.560
with the twenty twenty four incoming class? No, because I don't know if

1038
01:11:46.560 --> 01:11:50.159
you heard what happened today, and
this would be the last piece that I

1039
01:11:50.239 --> 01:11:57.760
think you're gonna see. Thanks to
Mike Woodson's absolute incompetence. Liam McNeely,

1040
01:11:57.840 --> 01:12:02.880
who is the top fifteen blue chip
small forward shooter, de committed from Indiana.

1041
01:12:02.920 --> 01:12:05.920
And there's a lot of smoke about
how Bill self is involved here.

1042
01:12:06.199 --> 01:12:11.000
He was originally between Indiana and Kansas. And this is a guy who looks

1043
01:12:11.039 --> 01:12:13.800
like he was born to be in
the movie Hoosiers. So if you're looking

1044
01:12:13.800 --> 01:12:16.680
for the three point three point specialty, that could be a nice piece.

1045
01:12:16.760 --> 01:12:19.199
That's the name to watch. Other
than that, though, this is a

1046
01:12:19.239 --> 01:12:24.800
really really good class. He looks
like if Grady Dick had an even wider

1047
01:12:24.880 --> 01:12:28.119
kid. Right, Yeah, that
would be a lot of fun at Kansas.

1048
01:12:28.159 --> 01:12:31.279
And if he goes anywhere where they
play Kansas, well, dude making

1049
01:12:31.319 --> 01:12:35.840
all the baskets with two hands at
an arcade gift at Rock Chuck AJ.

1050
01:12:36.000 --> 01:12:41.800
What is the closest senior night win
in the Bill Self era? Well,

1051
01:12:41.840 --> 01:12:46.119
there's one that stands out, that
Oklahoma comeback. Forgot about that one?

1052
01:12:46.279 --> 01:12:51.479
Yeah, the West Virginia home eighteen
point comeback when Jamari Trailer went nuts.

1053
01:12:53.199 --> 01:12:58.479
That's counting on his fingers. Yeah, Yeah, that was that team.

1054
01:12:59.119 --> 01:13:02.880
They barely got past Chris Beard's lousy
ass Longhorns because o Chaya Baji was like,

1055
01:13:02.960 --> 01:13:06.520
oh for twelve or something a couple
years ago in overtime, Remember that

1056
01:13:06.520 --> 01:13:12.880
that was the title team. I
think Remy played. I think I think

1057
01:13:12.920 --> 01:13:20.319
Remy played seven minutes shocking So Texas
Kansas, twenty twenty two Senior Day Basketball.

1058
01:13:20.840 --> 01:13:25.000
Yes, the final score of that
game in overtime, mind you,

1059
01:13:25.079 --> 01:13:30.399
in overtime, seventy to sixty three
was the final score of that nothing short

1060
01:13:30.439 --> 01:13:33.800
of atrocious basketball game. The only
time in my life that I've ever seen

1061
01:13:33.880 --> 01:13:39.760
Kansas score more points at the free
throw line than points from two point Land

1062
01:13:40.000 --> 01:13:45.159
or points from three point Land.
Yeah, that's pretty pretty terrible. And

1063
01:13:45.199 --> 01:13:49.760
the fact that Texas lost by seven
in an overtime game is also terrible.

1064
01:13:50.640 --> 01:13:55.600
At Casey Sports, kingdo one,
if you could be guaranteed an easy cupcake

1065
01:13:55.680 --> 01:13:59.960
draw in this NCAA tournament or next
year, which one would you take?

1066
01:14:00.000 --> 01:14:04.239
Oh, that's a good question there, I take it this year. I

1067
01:14:04.279 --> 01:14:08.079
know we think they're gonna be real
good, but there are gonna be a

1068
01:14:08.119 --> 01:14:10.640
three seed this year. There's no
guarantees it's better than that next year.

1069
01:14:14.640 --> 01:14:16.239
Nick has just checked out at this
point because he has to get up for

1070
01:14:16.279 --> 01:14:21.399
work soon. So let's move along
at Cope fraud in a tournament format where

1071
01:14:21.399 --> 01:14:26.840
we get longer TV timeouts, Oh, we know, each possession is more

1072
01:14:26.880 --> 01:14:29.880
important and the team is fully locked
in. Does this team have a chance

1073
01:14:30.119 --> 01:14:31.319
to go to the Final four if
they get a good region? Yeah?

1074
01:14:31.359 --> 01:14:34.199
That. I don't know how much
any of that really helps, but I

1075
01:14:34.239 --> 01:14:38.239
think they're one of the ten most
likely teams to go to the Final four.

1076
01:14:38.800 --> 01:14:43.279
Four of them will make it.
Yes, their floor does not help

1077
01:14:43.319 --> 01:14:45.720
them, but they do have an
insanely high ceiling when they play well.

1078
01:14:46.359 --> 01:14:50.159
Also, kJ Adams should be the
permanent backup five. Change my mind next

1079
01:14:50.239 --> 01:14:54.720
year. Yeah, this year,
you have no choices unless you want to

1080
01:14:54.720 --> 01:15:00.039
start timberl Yeah, and then you
start Furfy at the four and well he

1081
01:15:00.279 --> 01:15:02.720
loves kJ but maybe at show Me
Hawk. What do you think of the

1082
01:15:02.720 --> 01:15:08.479
T shirt designs Adidas makes from when
Kansas wins a Big twelve championship or bowl

1083
01:15:08.560 --> 01:15:13.920
game. Uh, they're normally kind
of lousy, Nick, Almost every every

1084
01:15:14.000 --> 01:15:18.560
championship tea shirt ever is lousy.
Chiefs had the same hats back to back

1085
01:15:18.680 --> 01:15:21.479
Super Bowls, back to back years. It's the same thing. They just

1086
01:15:21.600 --> 01:15:27.520
change the font like all the way
too busy. They have so much happening.

1087
01:15:29.520 --> 01:15:32.800
Yep, Yeah, they're disappointing at
Matt Underscore Gallantine. How would Isaiah

1088
01:15:32.880 --> 01:15:36.560
Moss or Jalen coleman Land change the
current team? They'd make it a lot

1089
01:15:36.640 --> 01:15:43.640
better and fast. Yes, they
would be basically Nick Timberlake what we thought

1090
01:15:43.720 --> 01:15:47.239
he'd be at Casey Sports Kingdom one. If Nick Timberlake was guaranteed to make

1091
01:15:47.279 --> 01:15:50.079
four out of five threes for every
game the rest of the year, how

1092
01:15:50.079 --> 01:15:54.159
far does they does Kansas go in
the NCAA's I'd bet on a final four.

1093
01:15:54.199 --> 01:15:58.760
At that point, I think,
ye, that's big, Like that's

1094
01:15:58.800 --> 01:16:02.640
real big. That that seals up
the problem with this team. Just a

1095
01:16:02.640 --> 01:16:05.479
couple more here at rockchuk aj Hal
matter, are you that they aren't going

1096
01:16:05.560 --> 01:16:09.159
to catch Kentucky in all time wins
this year? I mean, in my

1097
01:16:09.279 --> 01:16:12.119
mind, they already have it.
I don't care what that what that flip

1098
01:16:12.119 --> 01:16:15.960
says, what he's talking about.
Yeah, the Landon refuses to acknowledge it

1099
01:16:16.479 --> 01:16:19.399
down to the final three here at
Show Me Hawk. I just looked at

1100
01:16:19.439 --> 01:16:25.039
Leonardi's bracket over on ESPN, and
you're not even going to believe who they

1101
01:16:25.119 --> 01:16:28.560
have as the ten seed in Kyu's
region. They also have a white guy.

1102
01:16:28.640 --> 01:16:30.880
Oh boy, who's who's the ten
seed? Let's find out? Uh

1103
01:16:31.039 --> 01:16:39.000
they have? Oh oh no?
Oh please no, no again, no

1104
01:16:39.119 --> 01:16:45.039
more of that team in the NCAA
tournament. I don't now it's same first

1105
01:16:45.079 --> 01:16:50.239
letter clean the drop. I don't
have it. I don't have it on

1106
01:16:50.279 --> 01:16:56.840
the board. But Landing, there's
a drop about them, and they love

1107
01:16:56.920 --> 01:17:03.159
them. I love this Kansas.
Please, no, no, no,

1108
01:17:03.159 --> 01:17:09.880
no, I have a one year
Kansas gets shipped out to the West.

1109
01:17:09.920 --> 01:17:15.119
It's the most difficult region in the
history of the NCAA tournament. Yep,

1110
01:17:15.399 --> 01:17:19.119
get waiting for it to happen again
too at Chris Underscore Easter if Kansas or

1111
01:17:19.159 --> 01:17:23.399
we just read that one. Sorry. Last questions from our buddy at Dick

1112
01:17:23.479 --> 01:17:28.880
Underscore Taser outside of being at the
game, what's the best and worst place

1113
01:17:29.239 --> 01:17:31.640
to watch a March KU game?
He says the worst has to be at

1114
01:17:31.680 --> 01:17:36.760
a bar, annoying people, no
sound, it's expensive. The best back

1115
01:17:36.840 --> 01:17:40.920
deck fireside, and then there's a
picture of a TV with a fire pit

1116
01:17:41.000 --> 01:17:43.880
and a couple of wood benches and
looks like a real cozy back porch.

1117
01:17:44.359 --> 01:17:46.960
That does look awesome. I'm also
a cold person and March is not the

1118
01:17:47.000 --> 01:17:50.600
warmest month of the year. Landon's
been at my house enough times during the

1119
01:17:50.680 --> 01:17:54.319
NCAA tournament to know that it looks
like a best buy. We throw all

1120
01:17:54.359 --> 01:17:57.520
the TVs up in the living room. Yeah, that's the way to do

1121
01:17:57.560 --> 01:18:00.680
it. Get five TVs up.
I think the most fun way to watch

1122
01:18:00.800 --> 01:18:02.439
is in the living room. But
have a few people over, not too

1123
01:18:02.439 --> 01:18:06.199
many, just have a couple over
and that's really fun. Well, if

1124
01:18:06.239 --> 01:18:10.439
it's specifically a KU game, so
you only need one TV, anything's better

1125
01:18:10.479 --> 01:18:13.760
than a bar, I agree.
I'm I'm a watch at home kind of

1126
01:18:13.760 --> 01:18:15.640
guy. I don't lie, And
honestly, there are some benefits to watching

1127
01:18:15.640 --> 01:18:19.159
at home over going to the games. But yeah, we've all been to

1128
01:18:19.199 --> 01:18:23.199
Allen enough times where I think we
kind of get the GISTs. It's amazing,

1129
01:18:23.279 --> 01:18:26.680
and I don't want to sound like
it's not amazing, but sometimes it's

1130
01:18:26.720 --> 01:18:28.960
kind of nice to watch a game
on a TV where you have Would you

1131
01:18:29.079 --> 01:18:33.079
rather walk in the cold from Laurence
High School to sit on a hard bench

1132
01:18:33.239 --> 01:18:38.359
where your butt's gonna hurt, or
if you're feeling lazy, just turn the

1133
01:18:38.399 --> 01:18:43.119
TV on and listen to ESPN Plus
broadcasts if you want to snack or go

1134
01:18:43.199 --> 01:18:46.159
with bathroom. It's just right there
and not you know, at a game.

1135
01:18:46.239 --> 01:18:48.039
Yeah, no, I completely agree. All right, Well, if

1136
01:18:48.039 --> 01:18:55.880
you ever have any Ascarcb's Twitter hashtag, askcarcb, all right, preview me

1137
01:18:55.920 --> 01:18:59.359
a game and the Jayhawks have a
chance to do something that they haven't done

1138
01:18:59.520 --> 01:19:02.600
and for you, which is win
against the number one team in the country,

1139
01:19:02.880 --> 01:19:09.359
number fourteen Kansas at number one Houston
Saturday, March ninth, Senior Day

1140
01:19:09.560 --> 01:19:12.840
at three o'clock PM. It is
the regular season finale, and they saved

1141
01:19:12.840 --> 01:19:15.640
the toughest for last. The top
ranked and Big twelve champion Houston Cougars,

1142
01:19:15.800 --> 01:19:18.680
who need to win to secure an
out right title, but otherwise have locked

1143
01:19:18.720 --> 01:19:23.239
up at least the share are twenty
seven and three overall, fourteen to three

1144
01:19:23.279 --> 01:19:26.079
in league play Land and told you
earlier they haven't lost since the game at

1145
01:19:26.079 --> 01:19:29.239
Allen, which is eight wins in
a row ago. It's been a long

1146
01:19:29.279 --> 01:19:33.399
time since Houston walked off a basketball
court as a loser. Jamal Shed he

1147
01:19:33.479 --> 01:19:36.399
is likely going to win Big twelve
Player of the Year. Thirteen points,

1148
01:19:36.439 --> 01:19:41.399
six assists, plays all American caliber
defense. LJ. Crier is the leading

1149
01:19:41.439 --> 01:19:44.640
scorer with sixteen points and a thirty
nine percent three point rate, and he

1150
01:19:44.720 --> 01:19:47.880
dropped six on Kansas and Allen.
Emmanuel Sharp is the wing with twelve points,

1151
01:19:47.920 --> 01:19:53.920
eighty five percent free throw shooter.
Emmanuel Sharp, It's among the best

1152
01:19:53.920 --> 01:19:58.399
bass backcourt trios in the sport.
They're very, very good. Almost no

1153
01:19:58.479 --> 01:20:09.920
weaknesses there. Yep and uh hmmm, good effort. I believe you got

1154
01:20:09.960 --> 01:20:15.880
it right there. Anytime, I'm
so tired, I'm sorry. Jamal Shed

1155
01:20:15.920 --> 01:20:23.960
is likely to be without a loss
of size in the front court, Houston

1156
01:20:24.000 --> 01:20:28.479
thrives on athleticism. Juwan Roberts and
Javier Francis, both six s, started

1157
01:20:28.479 --> 01:20:30.840
at the four and five. They
are both tremendous offensive rebounderies, combining for

1158
01:20:30.840 --> 01:20:36.479
a total of twelve boards per game. Damien dun dundun Woa, whoa,

1159
01:20:36.560 --> 01:20:43.119
he's up, Damian done. Guys, you can't even leak Mileak Wilson and

1160
01:20:43.199 --> 01:20:45.920
Joseph Tuggler all get minutes off the
bench. Houston is Ken Pump's best defensive

1161
01:20:45.920 --> 01:20:49.399
team top ten nationally and field goal
defense, two point defense, steals,

1162
01:20:49.399 --> 01:20:53.560
points allowed. They also hold opponents
to just thirty one percent from three.

1163
01:20:53.800 --> 01:20:57.880
They are college basketball's best offensive rebending
team with fourteen points per game and we

1164
01:20:57.960 --> 01:21:00.399
are fourteen per game. And they're
elite at protecting the ball. There hur't

1165
01:21:00.399 --> 01:21:04.039
a lot of weaknesses, but they
can be bad on the defensive glass.

1166
01:21:04.039 --> 01:21:08.600
That's pretty much. They're pretty much
average on offense overall, uh with with

1167
01:21:08.800 --> 01:21:12.560
just a forty four percent fuel goal
rate and a dreadful sixty eight percent free

1168
01:21:12.560 --> 01:21:15.600
throw shooting team. This is why
I'm leaving the show. These eight to

1169
01:21:15.600 --> 01:21:19.920
three shows are doing it in for
me. That's on pisas, Oh Go

1170
01:21:19.920 --> 01:21:24.479
ahead, this is this is yet
Timberlake, oh for seven to night for

1171
01:21:24.560 --> 01:21:30.439
me, and I mean, yeah, that's the stat right there. They're

1172
01:21:30.640 --> 01:21:33.119
bad shooting free throws. Kansas is
gonna have to turn it into that game

1173
01:21:33.279 --> 01:21:36.359
and all time six and two and
eight games. But they've only played them

1174
01:21:36.359 --> 01:21:41.800
twice since eighty seven, haven't lost
since eighty three. Yay, so it's

1175
01:21:41.840 --> 01:21:45.079
gonna you know, we'll see what
happens. I'll go first, will that

1176
01:21:45.119 --> 01:21:48.520
stat will not hold. I will
go ahead and lead off. I will

1177
01:21:48.560 --> 01:21:53.079
say that I don't think Kansas will
win this game. I think that Houston

1178
01:21:53.119 --> 01:21:57.840
will beat Kansas. However, I
think Kansas is gonna play in an opportunity

1179
01:21:57.920 --> 01:22:01.439
that they don't ever get to play
in. They're a consensus underdog, given

1180
01:22:01.479 --> 01:22:04.640
a very little chance to win this
game in the eyes of just about everybody,

1181
01:22:04.800 --> 01:22:08.880
and Houston's got revenge on their mind
and all that. But the Jayhawks

1182
01:22:08.880 --> 01:22:11.520
are starting to play a little bit
better over their last few games. We

1183
01:22:11.560 --> 01:22:14.399
saw him play a lot better against
Baylor. The BYU game wasn't great,

1184
01:22:14.399 --> 01:22:17.079
but before that you got Texas.
They've played legitimately fine in four of their

1185
01:22:17.159 --> 01:22:21.199
last five games, and I think
they match up pretty well with Houston.

1186
01:22:21.199 --> 01:22:26.319
I think Hunter Dickinson is a good
is a good counter for what Houston does.

1187
01:22:26.720 --> 01:22:30.239
Very good defensively, but Hunter Dickinson's
very good offensively. You gotta make

1188
01:22:30.279 --> 01:22:34.319
threes. They're gonna have to draw
some fouls and produce free throws as well.

1189
01:22:34.479 --> 01:22:38.399
But I think Kansas's defense will be
fine. It's a matter if Kenny

1190
01:22:38.479 --> 01:22:42.920
offense get the seventy. Houston's only
allowed seventy four times all year. If

1191
01:22:43.000 --> 01:22:45.560
Kansas gets the seventy, I think
they got a fifty to fifty shot.

1192
01:22:45.720 --> 01:22:50.239
I will pick Houston to win seventy
four to sixty nine. However, I

1193
01:22:50.279 --> 01:22:54.680
think this is a close game that
leaves us all going you know what,

1194
01:22:55.479 --> 01:23:00.800
six seed draw UCF, see what
happens after that. They can keep Houston

1195
01:23:00.800 --> 01:23:02.640
closed on the road, they can
win just about anywhere. I think it's

1196
01:23:02.640 --> 01:23:06.600
a one of those losses that leaves
us feeling okay, but still nonetheless a

1197
01:23:06.640 --> 01:23:12.119
loss. Now a win that would
be pretty freaking cool. Yeah, I'm

1198
01:23:12.119 --> 01:23:18.039
also gonna say Houston, I'm gonna
go seventy to sixty three. I think

1199
01:23:18.119 --> 01:23:20.399
Kansas will keep it pretty close for
the most part. I don't think they're

1200
01:23:20.399 --> 01:23:23.680
gonna get like ran out of the
gym or anything. But I think Houston

1201
01:23:23.720 --> 01:23:28.039
wins comfortably in the end. I
just don't know if this KU team hesitant

1202
01:23:28.039 --> 01:23:30.479
them to win this kind of game, which is not a sentence I usually

1203
01:23:30.520 --> 01:23:32.439
say that's pretty weird, but I
think that's true. That's right. I'm

1204
01:23:32.439 --> 01:23:36.680
gonna say, Houston seventy three Kansas
sixty eight. Do you guys think that

1205
01:23:36.760 --> 01:23:42.840
at any point after the final ten
minutes that we're watching that game saying,

1206
01:23:43.199 --> 01:23:45.479
Wow, they're right in this game, they got a real shot to win

1207
01:23:45.840 --> 01:23:49.000
in the final ten? Yeah,
I think it's very possible in the final

1208
01:23:49.000 --> 01:23:54.640
ten. But that's about wherever you
think Houston goes on that run. I

1209
01:23:54.680 --> 01:23:59.079
think I think Houston probably really pulls
away in the last five or six minutes.

1210
01:23:59.840 --> 01:24:01.279
If you think that's the case,
and that's a that's a game that

1211
01:24:01.479 --> 01:24:04.720
will leave us plenty of things to
be encouraged about. That is not the

1212
01:24:04.720 --> 01:24:09.159
sort of game that we will be
pushing to lead off the next show,

1213
01:24:09.239 --> 01:24:13.279
unless, of course, you know, Bill goes all and does something like,

1214
01:24:13.399 --> 01:24:15.520
hey, I want Nick and Johnny
on the bench so kJ can try

1215
01:24:15.520 --> 01:24:20.159
to rebound with those Houston Marco developmental
minutes guys. Oh my gosh, then

1216
01:24:20.199 --> 01:24:24.000
I will eat myself out of the
window. All right, So we're all

1217
01:24:24.000 --> 01:24:27.359
picking Kansas to lose. That hasn't
happened. I don't know if that's happened

1218
01:24:27.399 --> 01:24:30.479
in the ITP era. I'm sure
it happened to the Marcus Garrett season Land

1219
01:24:30.479 --> 01:24:31.920
and I just haven't I don't remember
off the top of my head. That's

1220
01:24:32.000 --> 01:24:36.640
Nick's unemployment insurance job here. When
he's off the show, he can go

1221
01:24:36.720 --> 01:24:41.920
back and listen to the last time
we all picked Kansas to not win women

1222
01:24:42.000 --> 01:24:45.760
Insurance. I'm the one that actually
has a job that you know, unemployed

1223
01:24:45.760 --> 01:24:48.079
from this show, sir, it
matters here. We have we have very

1224
01:24:48.119 --> 01:24:54.079
strict policies to follow here. Big
twelve games finale for all these teams.

1225
01:24:54.159 --> 01:24:57.760
Number six, Iowa State at Case
State. I will pick the Wildcats at

1226
01:24:57.800 --> 01:25:01.000
home to upset Iowa State, swing
up pendulum back to a little bit of

1227
01:25:01.000 --> 01:25:04.399
regression for the Cyclones, and I
think Case State makes a tournament push.

1228
01:25:04.640 --> 01:25:08.680
Uh, I'm gonna start doing the
whatever. The opposite of my instinct is

1229
01:25:08.720 --> 01:25:11.840
what I'm gonna do. My instinct
was to take Iowa State. So I'm

1230
01:25:11.840 --> 01:25:16.399
gonna pick Ky State Iowa State.
Then easy for me. Oklahoma at Texas.

1231
01:25:16.520 --> 01:25:20.119
They're buns the buns Bowl, but
I will take Texas because they're less

1232
01:25:20.119 --> 01:25:23.840
buns. Yeah, I do.
Actually I have to take Texas here,

1233
01:25:24.039 --> 01:25:29.119
Hookham West Virginia at Cincinnati and then
who cares Bowl. I think we want

1234
01:25:29.159 --> 01:25:33.039
three on the bear Cats. Yeah, I get sure. Gross UCF at

1235
01:25:33.079 --> 01:25:36.039
TCU. I think we probably also
want three on the Hornfrogs. Right.

1236
01:25:36.079 --> 01:25:40.640
Oh, what a lousy slate.
Yeah yeah, horn Frog's big. By

1237
01:25:40.640 --> 01:25:43.119
the way, UCF's gonna be out
of gas after giving all they had in

1238
01:25:43.119 --> 01:25:45.159
the Houston game. Ooh, good
one here. Number eleven, Baylor at

1239
01:25:45.199 --> 01:25:49.319
Texas Tech. I will go with
Baylor on the road. I know it's

1240
01:25:49.359 --> 01:25:53.920
a road game. I think that
they're that much better than Texas Tech and

1241
01:25:53.960 --> 01:25:58.239
they win. Yeah, Tech's kind
of in free falling. I'll take Tech.

1242
01:25:59.119 --> 01:26:01.520
Oklahoma State at number twenty. BYU, we want three on the Cougars.

1243
01:26:02.399 --> 01:26:06.399
I do sure that one's gonna be
close. Though. BYU has played

1244
01:26:06.840 --> 01:26:12.359
such high level basketball recently. They
obviously want an Allen Field House. And

1245
01:26:12.399 --> 01:26:15.960
then they came home and they ripped
out TCU's throat, and then they should

1246
01:26:15.000 --> 01:26:18.720
have won at Iowa State, Like
eventually they're gonna have a game that they

1247
01:26:18.720 --> 01:26:23.359
don't quite get up for. I
think that's a sneaky like sixty eight sixty

1248
01:26:23.399 --> 01:26:26.760
five game. And Kansas, by
the way, should really be rooting for.

1249
01:26:26.800 --> 01:26:30.159
Oklahoma State feels like a horrible thing
to root for. But the only

1250
01:26:30.199 --> 01:26:32.760
way they're gonna get ahead of BYU
with a loss is if Oklahoma State wins

1251
01:26:33.159 --> 01:26:39.800
other games. Number ten Creighton at
Villanova, Wildcats really need a win to

1252
01:26:39.880 --> 01:26:45.119
solidify an NCAA birth. I think
they get it. Uh No Jays Creighton,

1253
01:26:46.319 --> 01:26:50.760
Number fifteen. Kentucky at number four
Tennessee. This is a fascinating spot

1254
01:26:50.800 --> 01:26:57.439
for Tennessee, who has had two
straight huge victories. Kentucky going in there,

1255
01:26:57.560 --> 01:27:00.159
does it like they've already locked up
the league? Yeah, in my

1256
01:27:00.359 --> 01:27:06.399
home. Not on Dalton next Senior
night. No, well, okay,

1257
01:27:06.439 --> 01:27:10.720
I'll go with the balls, but
I hate this. I'm going with Kentucky.

1258
01:27:10.920 --> 01:27:15.119
They have they need a win like
this more than Tennessee does well.

1259
01:27:15.119 --> 01:27:18.319
And Tennessee can't keep getting up and
winning these top twenty games, Like eventually,

1260
01:27:18.720 --> 01:27:23.359
it's just not eventually, it's just
not gonna happen. So I like

1261
01:27:23.439 --> 01:27:26.760
that spot. Here, here's a
good game. Number seven North Carolina at

1262
01:27:26.800 --> 01:27:29.479
number nine, Duke, Who do
you guys want the Tobacco road showdown?

1263
01:27:30.079 --> 01:27:33.880
Duke Duke at home? Yeah,
I think Duke wins pretty easily. Yeah.

1264
01:27:34.000 --> 01:27:39.199
Number two Yukon at Providence Friars need
a win to get in the tournament.

1265
01:27:39.560 --> 01:27:42.479
I'll say they get it. How
focused can Yukon really be at this

1266
01:27:42.520 --> 01:27:46.920
point in the year Yukon, Uh, I'll go Providence, Sure, why

1267
01:27:46.920 --> 01:27:55.520
not? And then number five years
Hey, I'm just as close to you

1268
01:27:55.560 --> 01:27:58.680
as I am the land and sir
put some respect on that name. And

1269
01:27:59.279 --> 01:28:03.399
it's the number five. Number five
Arizona at USC. Normally this to be

1270
01:28:03.439 --> 01:28:09.199
a laugher. So yeah, but
Arizona Williams dad gonna negotiate him to play

1271
01:28:09.279 --> 01:28:13.520
the USC basketball team they get is
getting an equity stake in the university.

1272
01:28:13.800 --> 01:28:16.920
It's a pretty good Arizona have to
travel. They're in La already, they're

1273
01:28:16.920 --> 01:28:21.640
playing UCLA and smashing them. So
give me Arizona. Yeah, probably,

1274
01:28:21.760 --> 01:28:26.960
even though I pretty Yukon or Arizona
or Tennessee one of them is gonna lose.

1275
01:28:27.520 --> 01:28:30.760
All right, Well that's that next
show. Nick, you're out right

1276
01:28:30.760 --> 01:28:33.680
you're going on a business trip.
Well, this weekend, I'm gonna be

1277
01:28:33.840 --> 01:28:38.800
in uh on a fun trip.
So fun trip. Oh, that's your

1278
01:28:38.880 --> 01:28:42.079
trip, be gone a lot.
That's right, It's that it's net you'll

1279
01:28:42.119 --> 01:28:45.119
be gone, so I should be
I should be able to I should be

1280
01:28:45.119 --> 01:28:46.800
able to be on the show.
Next week during the tournament, I'll be

1281
01:28:46.920 --> 01:28:50.079
sitting in a hotel in the evening. So what else is there better to

1282
01:28:50.119 --> 01:28:54.920
do than talk with my friends?
And you're an hour behind because you'll be

1283
01:28:54.960 --> 01:28:58.079
in the Mountain time zone, so
that will enable it to be a little

1284
01:28:58.079 --> 01:29:00.279
earlier for your seventy five year old
boy away my location. Like that is

1285
01:29:00.319 --> 01:29:05.880
kidding it? So all the time
zone could be in Yellowstone, the most

1286
01:29:05.920 --> 01:29:10.399
overrated and boring national park in the
United States. Oh yes, I am

1287
01:29:10.479 --> 01:29:14.159
throwing zingers at the twenty seven hundred
beat mark. Uh So, Nick,

1288
01:29:14.199 --> 01:29:15.720
you're for sure out this weekend?
Correct? You're not? You're not gonna

01:29:15.720 --> 01:29:18.680
be are okay? Landing? And
just you and I we can go at

1290
01:29:18.680 --> 01:29:24.439
three am if we want. I
don't want. No one wants to talk

1291
01:29:24.479 --> 01:29:28.279
about Houston. Yeah, well only
some days, sir, not when we

1292
01:29:28.319 --> 01:29:32.399
already have Kansas. I think Ryan
actually sleeps because Ryan is up asking for

1293
01:29:32.439 --> 01:29:35.359
the podcast link at like eight am, and he's like, oh, I

1294
01:29:35.359 --> 01:29:38.680
go to you know, my wife
gets home at two am? Like,

1295
01:29:38.760 --> 01:29:42.760
Ryan, do you not sleep?
I average a nice eight hours a week,

1296
01:29:43.239 --> 01:29:46.880
could be worse. Gotta get your
eight hours right. That's what everybody

1297
01:29:46.920 --> 01:29:51.880
always said. There's door dash to
be delivered. It's got to be somebody

1298
01:29:53.079 --> 01:29:56.840
anytime. I can get eight dollars
for three miles. Man, I am

1299
01:29:56.880 --> 01:30:00.640
out of that bed and into the
car. This is ins the paint on

1300
01:30:00.800 --> 01:30:04.159
Rock Chuck Blog, door Dash and
all other editions. I'm Ryan Landreth,

1301
01:30:04.319 --> 01:30:09.920
I'm John Jacob Jingle hammel Schmidt.
I like that, And I am Lennon's

1302
01:30:10.000 --> 01:30:13.319
wife. I like that. Lest
This is because I want to know.

1303
01:30:13.479 --> 01:30:16.119
I want to know about I mean, she does you know she doesn't know

1304
01:30:16.159 --> 01:30:21.000
that yet. Theoretically she might,
that doesn't Landon said he doesn't want to

1305
01:30:21.039 --> 01:30:24.760
get married, so possible. I
didn't think I didn't want to. I

1306
01:30:24.800 --> 01:30:27.640
just said I didn't know if it
was going to be a thing. No,

1307
01:30:27.880 --> 01:30:29.800
I thought you said, I don't
even know if I want to get

1308
01:30:30.039 --> 01:30:34.159
well, I probably have said that. That's so you're telling me that you

1309
01:30:34.199 --> 01:30:43.199
don't want to get married, as
in that's that's right, w if it's

1310
01:30:43.279 --> 01:30:48.439
that I'll get married each and every
day, and all right, I didn't

1311
01:30:48.479 --> 01:30:56.000
mean you think that mean Nick Nick
behave on the on the western half of

1312
01:30:56.039 --> 01:30:57.920
the United States to not disclose his
location.
