Speaker 1: A road victory for the Kansas Basketball Jayhawks. Don't look
Speaker 1: at who it came against. Don't look at the score,
Speaker 1: don't look at how many shots the guards made. Please
Speaker 1: don't do that. But it was a road win nonetheless
Speaker 1: for the Kansas Basketball Jayhawks. And you guys only had
Speaker 1: to stay up halfway until your normal wake up time
Speaker 1: the next day to watch it.
Speaker 2: How about that?
Speaker 3: Hey two and oh. In twenty twenty five season B,
Speaker 3: baby is.
Speaker 1: Testament Kim, I'm about to give you the floor to
Speaker 1: talk all about that. But yes, so I want to
Speaker 1: give Cam some flowers. We opened the show up with
Speaker 1: some congratulations because on the ITP All Time Attendance Leaderboard rankings, Cam,
Speaker 1: you have now moved into sixth place all time. Wow,
Speaker 1: with twenty seven ITPS after today. Congratulations, he passed Tyler
Speaker 1: who twenty six on season one. You have a whase
Speaker 1: to go now you are ninety three shows behind Josh
Speaker 1: who is in fifth place. So it's got a few
Speaker 1: more RON losses.
Speaker 3: September of twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1: That sounds about right, Yeah, it'll be Yeah, you need
Speaker 1: to get into late in your fourth season to pass Josh.
Speaker 1: But for now, Cam sixth place we're number six.
Speaker 2: Sweet.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like perennially I should remain in sixth place,
Speaker 4: just based off of my contributions to society.
Speaker 1: Number one on all of our hearts, number one in
Speaker 1: our hearts, especially after I'm not gonna get here. I'm
Speaker 1: not This is ip. I'm Ryan Landreth. Go ahead, after Landon,
Speaker 1: say your name so Cam can can read this intro blurb.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm I'm Landing Fields and.
Speaker 4: I'm a biblical scholar speaking of the Bible. The hashtag
Speaker 4: New Testament Hawks. We are starting new season the Old Testament.
Speaker 2: They're back.
Speaker 4: The Old Testament was prior to the U Tall loss.
Speaker 4: They're led by supposed Savior David Koit as it was
Speaker 4: prophesied in the Year of Our Lord twenty five. The
Speaker 4: Kansas basketball Jayhawks faced many trials and tribulations. Early on
Speaker 4: in the year, a great play took away all of
Speaker 4: their basketball ability space jam style and still gave me
Speaker 4: full blown diarrhea while watching the team play. Despite this,
Speaker 4: most of the guys have regained some form of skill,
Speaker 4: aside from aj Store and Zach Clements, who hurt himself
Speaker 4: while allegedly banging a girl. Alas comes a new opportunity
Speaker 4: a new season. The New Testament Jayhawks are led by
Speaker 4: David Koit, who hopes to not lose an embarrassing fashion
Speaker 4: the New Tournament Arahawks. Excuse me, the New Testament era
Speaker 4: Hawks are bound to still get boat raced in the
Speaker 4: round of thirty two, but we at least have a
Speaker 4: positive angle welcome back.
Speaker 1: We do. David Quit would have been so tall in
Speaker 1: the Old Testament, like he would have been the tall
Speaker 1: he would have been the Wilt Chamberlain of pre BC times.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's even true. He's like five
Speaker 3: s he would not have been at all.
Speaker 2: How tall was his Testament?
Speaker 3: How tall is Jesus?
Speaker 1: According to Google AI, Jesus was somewhere between five feet
Speaker 1: and five feet six. Okay, that's no help. That is
Speaker 1: literally one hundred percent of the available sample size back
Speaker 1: in the year three four seven, and the five foot
Speaker 1: one is the estimated height of Jesus. Wow, he was
Speaker 1: a short little dude. He could absolutely David Quit would
Speaker 1: have been an all star back then.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. I just see George Macon.
Speaker 4: Yeah me me pretty wild wild times.
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of wild times, Kansas played a basketball game
Speaker 1: at ten PM, which for everybody besides me. That sucked.
Speaker 1: I don't mind it. We're on the night shift schedule
Speaker 1: in this house, so eleven o'clock is right around the
Speaker 1: time we eat dinner. I have a wife that works
Speaker 1: overnight a hospitals. Uh, so we're normally doing chores and
Speaker 1: stuff at midnight. So this was just, oh, hey, at
Speaker 1: halftime of the game, could you help me make some dinner?
Speaker 1: And in you guys's case, that probably wasn't nearly the same.
Speaker 1: You guys somehow stayed up for all of it.
Speaker 3: Though I was very sleepy at halftime, partly because of
Speaker 3: the time, partly because of the basketball.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, yeah that, Yeah, the style of
Speaker 1: game didn't help Cam. As someone who has to wake
Speaker 1: up at the normal like between five thirty and six
Speaker 1: every day that most eight to five Americans have to do,
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that you were too thrilled at eleven thirty,
Speaker 1: two hours past what time you should be going to bed,
Speaker 1: watching everybody but Hunter Dickinson fail at trying to help
Speaker 1: Kansas pull away in that game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's two things I want to take away here.
Speaker 4: A Number one, Ryan is a human embodiment of that
Speaker 4: Patrick Star meme where he's.
Speaker 2: Like, oh boy, two am.
Speaker 4: And he's a cheese burner. That's him literally every night. Also, secondly,
Speaker 4: I literally fell asleep during the second half, and the
Speaker 4: only way that I knew the game was over was
Speaker 4: I got a text from our group chat and it
Speaker 4: was Ryan saying something like They're gonna blow this, aren't they?
Speaker 4: And then I fell asleep, woke back up and it
Speaker 4: was like, hey, they covered.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, all right, I think.
Speaker 1: Land and we've we They've reached an insane moment where
Speaker 1: I think in the second half of this game, Landon
Speaker 1: was more optimistic on the twenty twenty five Jayhawks than
Speaker 1: I was. I think that.
Speaker 3: Happened for a second. It was very strange, like an
Speaker 3: out of body experience. But yes, there was a few
Speaker 3: texts where that was.
Speaker 1: And then you looked then you looked at the box
Speaker 1: score and saw the guards made how many shots?
Speaker 3: That would be six?
Speaker 2: Five?
Speaker 3: I can count it on one hand and one extra finger.
Speaker 4: Wow, that was actually six. I just threw that numb
Speaker 4: yes there, yes, no, yes, it was six.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I know Hunter made a lot of them and he's
Speaker 1: not a guard, So we'll talk about it, all right,
Speaker 1: Kansas scored what did they score? One hundred and forty
Speaker 1: two points in two games against Colorado this year and
Speaker 1: they got two wins. Here we go Bay Kansas seventy one,
Speaker 1: Colorado sixty four. Yeah, it was basically the game we thought.
Speaker 1: But you know what they say, boys, good teams win,
Speaker 1: great teams cover. Well, that is not one but two
Speaker 1: wins hallowed by not one but two covers for the
Speaker 1: Kansas Jayhawks. Cam, you've been on a heater with sports
Speaker 1: gambling recently, but I don't believe this game was you're oh,
Speaker 1: that's true. I gotta allegedly you've been on a heater recently,
Speaker 1: but you didn't wage any dollars on Kansas beating Colorado.
Speaker 4: No, the irony of it is I might have allegedly
Speaker 4: wagered on the over, which did not hit.
Speaker 2: So that's okay. What was over over?
Speaker 1: What was the Yeah, Kansas Colorado? There's was like one
Speaker 1: thirty five.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I was one of my buddies is like
Speaker 4: I kind of like the over and he doesn't know
Speaker 4: anything about Kansas, and I was like, I agree, and
Speaker 4: then I just clicked on a button and five dollars.
Speaker 1: And survey says.
Speaker 4: No, I's legitimately what happened.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look it up Landon. What would you have
Speaker 1: bet the over under in this game? Was I know
Speaker 1: what it was, I would have probably said like one
Speaker 1: thirty and that's probably high.
Speaker 2: Nope, like.
Speaker 3: I think I bet it was, said it like one
Speaker 3: five or something winning basically three.
Speaker 1: Why would they assume that there'd be one hundred and
Speaker 1: forty three points scored in this game?
Speaker 2: Both teams aren't that good. They play good.
Speaker 1: Team screams high ten o god, and I would be
Speaker 1: willing to bet because Vegas is Vegas. More people bet
Speaker 1: on the over than the under, and that's they knew
Speaker 1: exactly what they were doing. That is that is insane. Well, anyway,
Speaker 1: here's the game story for those of you who went
Speaker 1: to bed at some point between tip off and the
Speaker 1: end of the game. The Jayhawks and their white jerseys
Speaker 1: please stop doing that. I've seen more games this year
Speaker 1: where road teams have been in the white jerseys. Hate it,
Speaker 1: hate it, hate it. Anyway, the white wearing Jayhawks led
Speaker 1: by multiple scores for almost the whole first half. They
Speaker 1: got off to a great start. We thought, here they come,
Speaker 1: They're gonna roll. They made their first six shots. They
Speaker 1: led by as many as ten in the first half.
Speaker 1: They took just a five point lead into the break.
Speaker 1: Colorado hung around in the second half. They did take
Speaker 1: a brief lead early in the second half at forty
Speaker 1: to thirty nine. But the Buffalo is as this is
Speaker 1: Landon's words, which I would normally the phrase is Landon's words,
Speaker 1: not mine, but Landon's words may as well be mine,
Speaker 1: because we all know the Colorado Buffaloes are indeed a
Speaker 1: bad basketball team that never really felt like they were
Speaker 1: a threat to pull this off. I believe it was
Speaker 1: Carrington Harrison on Twitter that said, in order to get
Speaker 1: this done, you have to be somewhat organized and Colorado
Speaker 1: he said, there's no way they're just gonna go long
Speaker 1: enough without making mistakes to do this. That was the
Speaker 1: correct take. They eventually lost by seven to Kansas, who,
Speaker 1: as we said, covered the spread. Yay, all right, here's
Speaker 1: my question to you, guys. Do you feel better, worse,
Speaker 1: or exactly the same about the now and O Jayhawks.
Speaker 1: Now they get them to Jayhawks right before the game started,
Speaker 1: exactly the same? Okay, all right, which is slightly more
Speaker 1: optimistic than you were a week ago. But still well
Speaker 1: aware of the problems.
Speaker 3: Correct, Yes, high floor, low ceiling is what I'm back to,
Speaker 3: and I'm sticking to it for now.
Speaker 1: Cam what it say you?
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly the same. They're good at times and so
Speaker 4: inconsistent that I have a very strong feeling they will
Speaker 4: lose an embarrassing fashion in the round of thirty two.
Speaker 3: I said high floor, low ceiling. I meant high ceiling,
Speaker 3: low floor. High floor implies that you don't lose by
Speaker 3: a lot high seiling the.
Speaker 4: Team, what team would be the high floor low ceiling.
Speaker 1: Like literally every one of tom Izzo's teams that don't
Speaker 1: make the final four.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess pretty much.
Speaker 1: They're a six seed. You know they're gonna win two
Speaker 1: tournament games, and you know they're not going past the
Speaker 1: final four. It's all in that sandwich of a somewhere
Speaker 1: in the second weekend, probably while wearing the green jerseys
Speaker 1: that's tom Izzo every year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 1: In this game, it feels really weird. Like, Okay, so
Speaker 1: here's the thing. It was ugly to watch. I could
Speaker 1: go either way. I could get on here and say
Speaker 1: they covered on the road. I don't care who was against.
Speaker 1: We haven't seen them win a road game in over
Speaker 1: a month, and you know, they seem to be really
Speaker 1: buying into this new season thing. They've opened. They they've
Speaker 1: set the table for themselves to have a nice close
Speaker 1: to the year. We know that this team's goal was
Speaker 1: to win four or five to down the stretch. To
Speaker 1: win four or five, you got to get the first two.
Speaker 1: Whenever they're against the two worst teams are gonna play.
Speaker 1: They got it done. Check check. I could say hooray.
Speaker 1: I could also say they still the problems we knew
Speaker 1: were there, which I think this game should forever put
Speaker 1: to bed. Anybody that says Hunter Dickinson is anywhere in
Speaker 1: the top ten problems that this team has. The problems
Speaker 1: are the consistency of the shooters and going long blips
Speaker 1: or long spurts without without consistently getting shots. They there
Speaker 1: was a moment that really epitomized the old testament Jayhawks,
Speaker 1: if you will, when Zeke Mayo just flat out dropped
Speaker 1: the ball out of bounce when he was trying to
Speaker 1: set up and shoot for a turnover. Yes, yeah, they
Speaker 1: make a lot of mistakes. They also I think that
Speaker 1: there I think that their record, at least these last
Speaker 1: few weeks is gonna look like they're playing better.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: My reaction this was shrug. It was also much later
Speaker 1: in the day where the twitter, the Twitter mentions and
Speaker 1: the the uh, what's the what's the word whenever you
Speaker 1: engage the Twitter engagements. The Twitter engagements were much less
Speaker 1: than normal because everybody clearly just went to bad.
Speaker 2: Nobody cared.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and also that it was it was just a
Speaker 1: very uninteresting game.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna rank more answers at Colorado.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which sucks that they're unranked, but if they beat Tech,
Speaker 1: I think they'll be right back in it. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say we saw them do something they haven't done in
Speaker 1: a month, which has went on the road, and they
Speaker 1: seem to be bought into this new season thing. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say step forward, albeit not one that makes
Speaker 1: you say, all right, let's check those second second weekend
Speaker 1: tournament sites. Where are we going that weekend to watch
Speaker 1: our Jayhawks?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think that's fair. I mean obvious they haven't
Speaker 3: won on the road in a while. It's still not
Speaker 3: overly encouraging that. And I know the new season and
Speaker 3: all that, but their last like three wins are Colorado
Speaker 3: Oklahoma State, Colorado. That doesn't exactly right, true, Yeah, with
Speaker 3: a large sense of confidence.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of who they beaten since.
Speaker 4: This is like a Siowa State. Yeah, that's it's not good.
Speaker 4: Can you guys imagine if you were told at the
Speaker 4: start of October that the season would be going so
Speaker 4: poorly that they would have to reinvent a new season
Speaker 4: just about things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, teams that are preseason number one and coasting. We
Speaker 1: never heard any of the Frank Mason DeVante Graham teams
Speaker 1: having to start new seasons halfway through. That's a good point.
Speaker 1: Let me read to you Kansas's wins.
Speaker 3: Just take it, do it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is bad, since Duke, here's Kansas's wins. There
Speaker 1: are thirteen of them, Furman, North Carolina State, Brown, UCF,
Speaker 1: Arizona State, Cincinnati, k State, TCU UCF, Iowa State, Colorado,
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, Colorado. There is one tournament team in there
Speaker 1: and they are actively free falling, which is Iowa State.
Speaker 2: That's really so well.
Speaker 3: For the last three games, guys, right, and.
Speaker 1: The next three games are bing bing bing Texas Tech, Houston,
Speaker 1: Arizona ranked teams. Two of them are at home. That
Speaker 1: helps you expect. I mean it would be it would
Speaker 1: be unforeseen if they lose all three. Considering two are
Speaker 1: at Allen Field House, you're expecting at least one. I
Speaker 1: think two is the number if you had a gun
Speaker 1: in your head and you had to predict what's their record.
Speaker 1: I think we're staying two in one just because there
Speaker 1: they win so frequently at home. Right two and one
Speaker 1: feels like the most likely option. One will be kind
Speaker 1: of comfortable by eight to ten and another will be
Speaker 1: as sweated out down to the last possession side of game.
Speaker 3: I would agree with that. But tex health is a
Speaker 3: big question as well going into this game. Obviously we'll
Speaker 3: get to that later, but I I really I need
Speaker 3: to see it. I love the idea of the new season. Obviously,
Speaker 3: they ran Oklahoma State off the floor. A road win
Speaker 3: where you cover against anybody is cool. That's good. That's
Speaker 3: a step in the right direction, especially off you know,
Speaker 3: three straight road losses, or Fortate.
Speaker 1: Maybeat Colorado and Boulder by more than Houston did. Like
Speaker 1: Colorado's bad, but Colorado has They've won two of three,
Speaker 1: and they've played like they almost beat Iowa State, they
Speaker 1: almost beat Houston, like they've played team it's a road
Speaker 1: game out of Power five arena, Like, it's not a layup.
Speaker 3: No, it's not, it's not. But it is a lot
Speaker 3: different than Tech Houston Arizona for three straight.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure. God if they had beaten Houston
Speaker 1: at home, I think all this feels so different because then,
Speaker 1: like then they're like solidly in like fourth place. Right now,
Speaker 1: the record feels a lot better. Four seed.
Speaker 3: Say they beat Houston, which would be good. But even
Speaker 3: if they beat Houston the rest, if the rest of
Speaker 3: the season went the same way after Houston, that's still
Speaker 3: Elda Baylor. Yeah, you beat Iowa State, Elda k State,
Speaker 3: You play the sleepiest win ever against Colorado Utah byu
Speaker 3: LL and then yeah, okay, smash with Oklahoma State. Then
Speaker 3: you play the second sleepiest win ever against Colorado.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 1: It wouldn't necessarily make me feel better about the way
Speaker 1: they're playing now, but at least if I read all
Speaker 1: their wins since Thanksgiving, there'd be one in there that mays, go, hey,
Speaker 1: that one was good.
Speaker 3: That is true. I can't argue with that. You are
Speaker 3: right about that. I don't know if that means a lot,
Speaker 3: but you are right.
Speaker 1: And one thing, Cam that's weird is It's Kansas has
Speaker 1: had obviously great regular seasons and lackluster ones. But one
Speaker 1: thing that this team is never strapped for is quality wins.
Speaker 1: Usually at the end of the year, we're always saying, well,
Speaker 1: they beat these four ranked teams at home. Like this year,
Speaker 1: it's they are seven and zero now against the bottom
Speaker 1: five teams in the Big twelve, and that would make
Speaker 1: them three and seven against the top half.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is kind of concerning.
Speaker 4: Usually It's Kansas has like twenty quad one wins and
Speaker 4: then they somehow get the last one seed, thinks Chris Reynolds.
Speaker 2: But not a great feeling. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'm you guys have pretty much talked me out of
Speaker 4: any hope in the last minutes.
Speaker 3: Let's good.
Speaker 1: Well here, let me let me talk you back into
Speaker 1: some hope. Because Hunter Dickinson I so okay. Hunter Dickinson,
Speaker 1: he was unstoppable. Thirty two points, a career high as
Speaker 1: a Jayhawk, won off his career career high, which he
Speaker 1: did at Michigan. Thirteen rebounds, thirteen of eighteen from the
Speaker 1: floor in thirty three minutes, Colorado with no answer for him.
Speaker 1: He scored in every way that he could threw a
Speaker 1: couple of dunks down and had another coast to coast basket. Yeah,
Speaker 1: two double triple teamed all night. It didn't matter. He
Speaker 1: was sensational. All I'm gonna say about Dickinson because I
Speaker 1: think it's KU tweets and News and Rock Chuck Blog
Speaker 1: are the two most consistent Hunter Dickinson defenders on Twitter
Speaker 1: of the major KU accounts, And I think that the reason.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not married to Hunter Dickinson. It's not
Speaker 1: like I'm actively in love with this player that I
Speaker 1: just can't say any thing bad about. But I guess
Speaker 1: the thing that I don't understand for the players who
Speaker 1: don't like Dickinson is whenever he scores sixteen and they
Speaker 1: lose to BYU buy one hundred, and people say, well
Speaker 1: he scored sixteen, they lost by thirty, It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Then who else would you like to get the sixteen?
Speaker 1: Because if you take those off, they lose by fifty.
Speaker 1: And when they win on the road by seven and
Speaker 1: he scores thirty two and people say, oh, well he's
Speaker 1: seven too, I mean he should be getting those numbers.
Speaker 1: You are dramatically underestimating the difficulty that it is for
Speaker 1: any player to put up these sort of numbers and
Speaker 1: not in a night out while getting double triple teams.
Speaker 1: And I'm just saying he doesn't have to be your
Speaker 1: cup of tea. You can think that there's better teams
Speaker 1: without him, and you can think that the stats, to
Speaker 1: a certain extent don't always tell the story of how
Speaker 1: well a player plays. But if you take Hunter Dickinson
Speaker 1: off this team, they ain't sniffing the NCAAs. He's the
Speaker 1: team's best player.
Speaker 4: By The problem, though, I think that's the problem, is
Speaker 4: that you've built a roster around a seven foot two
Speaker 4: center that's not very athletic, and he's an All American.
Speaker 1: He's going to be an All American for thee yeah
Speaker 1: the time this year's that's fantastic.
Speaker 4: And he's he's a very good basketball player. And I'm
Speaker 4: not saying he is a problem, because he is not
Speaker 4: the problem for Kansas, nor is he really a problem.
Speaker 4: But when you build a team around a seven foot
Speaker 4: two center in modern college basketball and you can't shoot
Speaker 4: three pointers, you don't play the guys that can shoot
Speaker 4: three pointers, and when they play, they can't shoot, it
Speaker 4: won't matter. He's going to average sixteen to ten and
Speaker 4: the team won't do anything.
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think that's a fair way
Speaker 1: to summarize it. That building a team around a center
Speaker 1: regardless of how they do statistically isn't a good idea.
Speaker 1: I agree with that.
Speaker 2: But he needs like perfect fits around him though. But
Speaker 2: I do think yes.
Speaker 1: And that's true for any center that's not you know,
Speaker 1: freaking Zion or somebody like. That's right exactly, but like,
Speaker 1: here's the thing, and also Anthony Davis look at the
Speaker 1: team around him, by the way, that helped. If you
Speaker 1: put Hunter Dickinson on that Kentucky team, he would have won.
Speaker 1: The naysmith like, Dickinson isn't anywhere close to the ten
Speaker 1: biggest problems with this team, and I think that if
Speaker 1: we put different pieces around him, there would be zero
Speaker 1: complaints about him at all. Any complaints about Dickinson from
Speaker 1: the fan base are directly tied to the disappointment that's
Speaker 1: around him and him not being able to do this
Speaker 1: thirty two and thirteen every night to save them. Because
Speaker 1: even a good Hunter Dickinson game here and they lose.
Speaker 2: They like that.
Speaker 1: The criticism has been he hasn't stepped up and made
Speaker 1: the consequential shots when they really need him. I posted
Speaker 1: that against Iowa State whenever they fell behind in the
Speaker 1: first half, they need their seven foot center they're all
Speaker 1: American to lead them back. He didn't do it. He
Speaker 1: hasn't consistently throughout his Kansas career. He did in this game,
Speaker 1: and it was good to see Landon. I'm sure that's
Speaker 1: more or less how you feel about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we've had a lot of nuanced Hunter
Speaker 3: Dickinson conversation this season. He obviously was brilliant in this game.
Speaker 3: I wrote the notes, so I do think he was sensational.
Speaker 3: Agree with myself from three hours ago or whenever I
Speaker 3: wrote this, Yeah, he was great. He was great. I
Speaker 3: do think that. Again, I think people would complain about
Speaker 3: him because he is so bad on defense mostly like
Speaker 3: or he has enough flaws on defense that people would
Speaker 3: still complain regardless even if he was on a very
Speaker 3: good team. But yes, like, I fully have agreed with
Speaker 3: the statement all the year that he is not among
Speaker 3: the like really ten biggest problems. I also agree with
Speaker 3: the idea that, yeah, if you placed a better, more
Speaker 3: coherent roster around him, that the team wouldn't be quite
Speaker 3: this way. And they'd be better. I mean, I also
Speaker 3: think a sad player. Like I've said, he sets an
Speaker 3: incredible floor and in games like this he won the game.
Speaker 3: No one else was good.
Speaker 1: That people said he doesn't do dun't clutch time, baskets,
Speaker 1: hustle plays like yeah, and like there were still people
Speaker 1: after the game that said, you know all they got
Speaker 1: out rebounded by a lot, which they did. Dickinson's got
Speaker 1: to be better. He had like what what did Kansas
Speaker 1: have if you take his number that they have twenty
Speaker 1: rebounds if you take his out, I don't think they can.
Speaker 1: They had like seven. Yeah, there you go, like the
Speaker 1: grass is not. Next year Kansas will be a better
Speaker 1: team than they are this year. They will win more games,
Speaker 1: and the thought of they miss Hunter Dickinson will be crazy.
Speaker 1: But when they lose, you're going to notice that you
Speaker 1: don't have the seventeen and ten walking bucket inside. And
Speaker 1: I think he's underappreciated and it's based on how he's
Speaker 1: double teamed. I think the fact that he gets the
Speaker 1: seventeen and ten a night is a miracle. Okay, Cam
Speaker 1: tell me about kJ We got to talk about rebounds,
Speaker 1: which was the main reason to be pessimistic in this game.
Speaker 1: It kind of I think kJ played well, but he
Speaker 1: was a part of the reason that they were so
Speaker 1: bad on the glass.
Speaker 4: Yeah, kJ Adams had fifteen points and seven for twelve shooting,
Speaker 4: which was crucial since no one else is scoring other
Speaker 4: than Hunter. He also traded ridiculous dunks with Bang God Dak. Yeah,
Speaker 4: a few possessions apart. However, he only had two rebounds,
Speaker 4: one assist, and went one for four at the free
Speaker 4: throw line. Florida Baduna did not attempt a field goal
Speaker 4: in just fourteen minutes, but had four boards, three blocks,
Speaker 4: and three steals. He also did have three fouls and
Speaker 4: two turnovers as.
Speaker 1: Well, So Landon, this was a really hard line to
Speaker 1: walk because kJ Adams scored a lot in the first
Speaker 1: half and then he went through like a ten minute
Speaker 1: stretch where he did nothing but get ripped on the glass,
Speaker 1: and then he closed strong. And I think the way
Speaker 1: that we look at kJ is you have to rebound
Speaker 1: or you have to score. As long as you're doing
Speaker 1: one of those things while playing power forward, you can
Speaker 1: live with the other. I know Kansas got shredded on
Speaker 1: the glass, but I'll take his fifteen points and take
Speaker 1: the l on the glass if that's the way it's
Speaker 1: gonna be against this team. But you notice it when
Speaker 1: he's not doing either. And I said on Twitter, I
Speaker 1: can't believe they're not playing Floory more because rebounding was
Speaker 1: the problem. But if kJ is gonna score like that,
Speaker 1: I think you'll live with it. I think he played
Speaker 1: well despite not rebounding.
Speaker 3: Yes, I very much agree. I agree with the Flory
Speaker 3: take in general, but because Canas was struggling to score
Speaker 3: outside of one player so desperately, I think kJ was
Speaker 3: necessary because he really was the only guy that found
Speaker 3: any consistent offense other than Hunter Dickinson, which is kind
Speaker 3: of an insane statement. So I think he had to play.
Speaker 3: He did play well. Yeah, like you said, open the
Speaker 3: game really hot, closed the game really well, made some plays.
Speaker 3: But let's talk about the rebounding here, because it was
Speaker 3: real problem. Despite kJ having a genuinely good outing for
Speaker 3: the most part, Kansas was outrebounded forty six to thirty one.
Speaker 3: They gave up eighteen offensive boards. I did a little
Speaker 3: Basketball Reference googling this afternoon to find this stat good
Speaker 3: website that Basketball Reference that is the most offensive rebounds
Speaker 3: they've given up in any game since the national title
Speaker 3: against North Carolina, where the tar Heels got twenty offensive boards,
Speaker 3: and it ties the most they've given up in a
Speaker 3: conference game since March first of the same season against TCU,
Speaker 3: where they gave up eighteen two of the most memorable
Speaker 3: ips of all time. And like I say, here the notes,
Speaker 3: no coinciense, and I put this under kj's blurb. He
Speaker 3: only got two boards and that has been a point
Speaker 3: of contentional year. But so really bad outing on the
Speaker 3: glass didn't matter. They won. They actually went too and
Speaker 3: one in those games where they gave up eighteen or
Speaker 3: more offensive rebounds, oddly enough, but nonetheless bad showing on
Speaker 3: the glass. Really the only reason was close for the
Speaker 3: most part.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Cam, I think that. I it depends on the opponent, right,
Speaker 1: Like North Carolina could score the ball a lot better,
Speaker 1: so those offensive rebounds win a lot further than they
Speaker 1: did against Colorado. Like I'm okay with Colorado getting a
Speaker 1: glass advantage if Kj's gonna score, because in my head,
Speaker 1: I know if I get to seventy against this team,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna win. So if kJ is gonna give me
Speaker 1: fifteen points, and I know Hunter's gonna do his thing.
Speaker 1: Then I was gonna say, then you only need like
Speaker 1: twenty five points from the guards, which I don't even
Speaker 1: know if they got. I don't think they did. I
Speaker 1: think they got twenty three if that math is correct,
Speaker 1: might be twenty four. So like, but I think if
Speaker 1: your bill self, I think he knew. Okay, if I
Speaker 1: take kJ out, will be a little better on the glass,
Speaker 1: and we'll score for this game a lot less. But
Speaker 1: if I keep kJ in there, we're gonna give up
Speaker 1: some offensive looks or some offensive rebounds. But Colorado can't
Speaker 1: throw it in the ocean, and Kj's scoring. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna roll with kJ, and I think he made the
Speaker 1: right choice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right choice.
Speaker 4: I mean kJ is tough because obviously he's kind of
Speaker 4: a we'll call him a jack of all trades, but
Speaker 4: he's really not because he cannot rebound and he can
Speaker 4: only score from about fifteen feet. And in however, he
Speaker 4: does do things that are not always in the box score.
Speaker 4: And in a game like that, yeah, he played a
Speaker 4: role and he put up some numbers at least on
Speaker 4: the point side, which is nice.
Speaker 2: I will say.
Speaker 4: In Kansas's inevitable NCAA tournament loss, I guarantee you he
Speaker 4: will be playing thirty plus minutes with one rebound and
Speaker 4: Florida will be riding the bench while Kansas gets blitzed
Speaker 4: on the offensive glass.
Speaker 2: I will call that right.
Speaker 1: Now, and let's look at the Let's look at the
Speaker 1: facts here. So Kansas nationally is a top forty rebounding team.
Speaker 1: They are the second best rebounding team in the Big Twelve,
Speaker 1: and they are number one out of sixteen Big Twelve
Speaker 1: teams in defense rebounds per game. So the offensive glass
Speaker 1: that Colorado had was a problem in this game, it's
Speaker 1: not a problem in the season. This is the equivalent
Speaker 1: of that twenty eighteen Kansas team having a bad night
Speaker 1: shooting threes. It's something that they're very good at that
Speaker 1: they had a bad night. Colorado is more athletic, and
Speaker 1: they're taller than most teams in this conference. And the altitude,
Speaker 1: I think you have to say played a role. Kansas
Speaker 1: was clearly very tired whenever they were getting blitzed on
Speaker 1: the glass. For the season, Kansas's opponents are just looking
Speaker 1: at the numbers here. Their opponents are outside the top
Speaker 1: one outside. I cannot read a thing at all. Kansas's
Speaker 1: opponents are outside the top two hundred and offensive rebounds
Speaker 1: per game against them. So this has not been a
Speaker 1: problem all year. Landon, I know it was bad, but
Speaker 1: just based on those numbers, they're the number one defensive
Speaker 1: rebounding team in the Big twelve, and I know Hunter
Speaker 1: carries a lot of that load, but I don't think
Speaker 1: this is something that I'm real concerned about. It's like
Speaker 1: if they had turned it over twenty times, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's out of character for this team. Probably won't be
Speaker 1: a problem again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that that is very true. They haven't. Weirdly enough,
Speaker 3: they haven't really struggled with rebounding. And actually I've gone
Speaker 3: back and looked at like previous seasons statistically, and the
Speaker 3: team lines up fairly similarly in their in their top
Speaker 3: handful of rebounders to almost every other Like recent season,
Speaker 3: it's pretty close, pretty comparable.
Speaker 1: Number one guy is carrying more of the slack than
Speaker 1: than a normal The gap between the five man and
Speaker 1: the four man is bigger. You're used to those two
Speaker 1: getting you about seventeen rebounds a game, but it's Hunder
Speaker 1: getting eleven and kJ getting.
Speaker 3: Five, right and sneakily. Zeke Mayo is also averaging like
Speaker 3: five a game, So he's picked up a little bit
Speaker 3: of slack there. He's he's having a pretty good rebounding season.
Speaker 3: I would agree, just weird.
Speaker 1: Bad night offense or offense. I was gonna say white
Speaker 1: guy of the game, which we I feel like we've
Speaker 1: the recaps this year have been filled with other things,
Speaker 1: like complaining about how they're losing all these damn games.
Speaker 1: So we haven't done a lot of white guy in
Speaker 1: the game segments this year. But there was one here
Speaker 1: andre Yakimovski or as Cam like jak there you go,
Speaker 1: went two for five from three.
Speaker 2: Spank them off.
Speaker 1: He I don't want to do that. Not only anybody
Speaker 1: in this game wanted to do that. But you know
Speaker 1: is it is a Sebastian Rankik, the guy whose neck
Speaker 1: is whiter than his head. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that guy's absolutely making like four threes and he didn't.
Speaker 1: It was shocking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not really an inspiring effort from Colorado though. I
Speaker 3: put Andre in there just for fun, but not like
Speaker 3: they really did anything, to be honest.
Speaker 1: No, Landon in the Grand Scheme, Go ahead, Cam.
Speaker 4: In the Grand Scheme of in the Grand Scheme of
Speaker 4: Unfortunate Names, like if you had to mount rushmore of
Speaker 4: unfortunate names, where does Yakimovski stand? Is it right next
Speaker 4: to Moe Lester? Could it be near Anita Blow Molade.
Speaker 1: Or first name, last name, cist. Yes, Wait a minute, sir,
Speaker 1: I love me a good cahoot name. Like, here's a
Speaker 1: legitimate ass. But I have never heard Anita Blow Meloade.
Speaker 2: That's a legitimate person. You can look this up.
Speaker 4: I know this for a fact because I looked this
Speaker 4: up one time. There was in Anita Blowmeloade that lived
Speaker 4: in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's amazing.
Speaker 4: I saw Act of the Night right there.
Speaker 1: One time, I was sitting at the Today, a cafe
Speaker 1: based on the Today Show at Universal Studios, and they
Speaker 1: were interviewing a Canadian man by the name of Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: and he just had a very he he had a
Speaker 1: name of another person that some people may have heard of,
Speaker 1: and they were talking about like what is that like
Speaker 1: when you go to the DMV and they're like, Donald
Speaker 1: Trump window number three please. And I would rather be
Speaker 1: named Donald Trump, I think than Jackimofski. Yeah, Anita B
Speaker 1: or Anita B for that.
Speaker 4: You're a kid at my school named William Williams.
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, the the Center for Texas Tech is named
Speaker 1: what did we say it was? Where? Where is it here?
Speaker 2: At first?
Speaker 3: Like Frederico Frederico or.
Speaker 2: Something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the state and uh was was Kansas State
Speaker 1: Center too? So I am a I do a lot
Speaker 1: of door Dash and Uber Eats deliveries, and I've done
Speaker 1: thousands of these, so they're all these different names, and
Speaker 1: I have yet to have a really fun name. I
Speaker 1: just really would like a cahoot name that I have
Speaker 1: to go into the restaurant and say, this is my order.
Speaker 1: The best one I had is Big Daddy, and I
Speaker 1: had to be like, I'm here for Big Daddy. But
Speaker 1: you know I I would love to have Anita be
Speaker 1: like like somebody, Yeah, there's They've done some really good
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live skits about that. That's pretty funny.
Speaker 3: Is it time for some guard play?
Speaker 1: All right, let me preface it with this land and
Speaker 1: tell me about him.
Speaker 3: The guards made six This is not a joke at
Speaker 3: the top of the show. This is very real. The
Speaker 3: guards made six combined field goals, which, for those keeping
Speaker 3: track or uneducated in the sport, sucks out loud, very bad. Yep.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not great.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some of those guards here. We'll start
Speaker 1: with I guess the best one. Ryland Griffin went one
Speaker 1: for five from the floor, one for four from three.
Speaker 1: He did go seven of ten at the free throw
Speaker 1: line random ten free throw attempts to finish with ten
Speaker 1: points in thirty two minutes. I think you take that.
Speaker 1: Anytime you get double digit points from Griffin, you're fine
Speaker 1: with it. He added four assists, two rebounds, in a
Speaker 1: couple of blocks. He can continues to contribute, as Lamon said,
Speaker 1: when his shot isn't falling. One of the best developments
Speaker 1: of the second half of the year, and there haven't
Speaker 1: been very many. As Bill self has realized, I gotta
Speaker 1: play Ryland Griffin twenty six to thirty minutes a game,
Speaker 1: and he's using him more and Kansas is better. Shockingly, Okay, Cam,
Speaker 1: tell me about everybody else.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Dewana Harris went two for four from the field. He
Speaker 4: had four points and five assists in thirty four minutes.
Speaker 4: Zeke Mayo had a full and confusing stat line. In
Speaker 4: thirty minutes. He had just four points and one for
Speaker 4: five shooting, but he had to have four rebounds, four assists,
Speaker 4: and two steals. However, he turned the ball over twice
Speaker 4: in three fouls without making a three weird game from
Speaker 4: Zeke our Lord and Savior in the New Testament, Diggy
Speaker 4: Koy continues to be an excellent role piece, with all
Speaker 4: of five shots coming from behind the arc and making
Speaker 4: two of them, just as it was written in Revelations.
Speaker 4: He had six points, a rebound, and assists and a
Speaker 4: steal in sixteen minutes. Aj Stores still is not.
Speaker 2: Returned from the plague he went over for eight minutes
Speaker 2: because he does suck.
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 2: This plague was COVID in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Here's my takeaway from all that. Dwan Harris did nothing
Speaker 1: for like thirty minutes over the middle of the game,
Speaker 1: and I posted on Twitter he is gonna have to
Speaker 1: make a play for them to win this game. And
Speaker 1: he threw a really really good law pass the Hunter
Speaker 1: Dickinson that finished off one of the baskets that ended Colorado.
Speaker 1: Zeke Mayo. I don't know if there's a path for
Speaker 1: Kansas to score seventy five points. If Zeke Mayo is
Speaker 1: held in single digits, like when he's off, the offense
Speaker 1: has no chance.
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much like they're ceiling lowers by about ten
Speaker 3: points easily.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Like that's one where like that's one where
Speaker 1: people are like, if you take Hunnor away, where do
Speaker 1: the points come from? We should be sacking about Zeke
Speaker 1: Mayo doing that because when Zeke Mayo goes from fifteen
Speaker 1: to five points, Kansas literally scores ten fewer points. There
Speaker 1: is no one that can make up for them.
Speaker 3: Correct and which which really is gonna be awesome? When
Speaker 3: Zeke goes two for twelve from the floor, zero for
Speaker 3: seven from three in the tournament loss.
Speaker 2: Yep, it's come number four Kansas.
Speaker 3: Number five Mao combined for four made shots, and they
Speaker 3: were the only four made shots of the second half.
Speaker 1: Villanova made more threes in the first four minutes than
Speaker 1: Kansas did in the game. Where have I seen this before?
Speaker 4: ILLINOI didn't score for twelve minutes in the second half
Speaker 4: and Kansas didn't cut the deficit.
Speaker 3: AJ Store played twenty five minutes and turned the ball
Speaker 3: over twenty five times.
Speaker 4: Yeah, speaking of myself, look confused on the sideline.
Speaker 1: Here's your AJ store blurb here in seventeen league games,
Speaker 1: which is about a full conference late in the regular
Speaker 1: SPIG twelve seasons, AJ Store has thirty one makes and
Speaker 1: sixty misses. That is thirty one for ninety one, that
Speaker 1: is thirty four percent. He is eight for thirty nine
Speaker 1: from three, which is twenty one percent. Reading investment, guys,
Speaker 1: and also nine assists to fifteen turnovers. If you wanted
Speaker 1: one more stat just to make it worse, I did
Speaker 1: some research on Daddy. I like that you can. We
Speaker 1: might we may keep that nickname here on the show
Speaker 1: as long as I'm at the top of the ITP leaderboard.
Speaker 1: That might be why I go by. I want you
Speaker 1: guys to guess. I looked up some really bad Kansas
Speaker 1: seasons in the past. What do you think Charlie Moore
Speaker 1: shot in conference play for the Jayhawks from thirty four? Yes,
Speaker 1: from the field camsas thirty four.
Speaker 3: Like thirty six.
Speaker 1: Oh, it is so so much worse than that. Charlie
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen was thirteen for fifty five, which is
Speaker 1: twenty four percent. And uh, but even Charlie Moore had
Speaker 1: to assists for every turnover that he had. Like aj
Speaker 1: Store is not as bad on offense as Charlie Moore was,
Speaker 1: but he's like there's not a single thing that he's
Speaker 1: good at. He missed the freaking alley oop slam in
Speaker 1: this game. He just went through his hands.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was truely, you know, in the Old Testament
Speaker 4: in Jayhawks, you'd get stoned for having that style line.
Speaker 1: If we're keeping with Old Testament characters, who is Hunter
Speaker 1: Dickinson as Hunter Dickinson king herod because everybody hates him.
Speaker 3: But had actual upside? Aaron was a New Testament character,
Speaker 3: mind you.
Speaker 1: Well, Cam just said revelations and reference to David Koit
Speaker 1: being the Old Testament Hawks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not exactly intelligent.
Speaker 2: Nor am I biblical?
Speaker 3: Was the promised one to come in the New.
Speaker 2: Yes? Correct?
Speaker 4: In the Old Testament they spoke of one to come
Speaker 4: that Charlie Moore would not be worthy of carrying his sandals,
Speaker 4: and that was David.
Speaker 1: In the Old Thought.
Speaker 3: There's often like every character in the Old Testament or
Speaker 3: like main character that you follow is like pretty decent
Speaker 3: for a minute, but has like at least one or
Speaker 3: more devastating flaws and that's like on purpose. Yeah, that
Speaker 3: is Hunter Dickinson. So Hunter Dickinson is like King David,
Speaker 3: where King David pretty good, pretty cool, led the people
Speaker 3: some great stuff, also loved some violence and boy, did
Speaker 3: he sleep with some women and killed that guy?
Speaker 1: That that's I was gonna say that the person that
Speaker 1: I remember hearing about in the Old Testament that just
Speaker 1: had like a dozen wives with Solomon, who also did
Speaker 1: some good day thousand, oh good Lord. So maybe that's
Speaker 1: hundred Dickinson mostly good, but wow, that one thing that's
Speaker 1: not great. It's bad, folks.
Speaker 3: Yep, it's fair, it's a good take.
Speaker 1: And I don't know, but Joseph is clearly Uh Florrie
Speaker 1: Badunga who god a ka everybody else it's like, Nope,
Speaker 1: gets your ass out of here. I'm gonna make it
Speaker 1: look like you died. I don't care how successful you
Speaker 1: are at your next place. Nope. And then all Judah
Speaker 1: and all of the Jacobs, all of Jacob's other sons,
Speaker 1: that is kJ Adams.
Speaker 3: That's a really good one.
Speaker 2: I like that pretty good.
Speaker 1: That's actually welcome to inside the Psalms here on Rock
Speaker 1: Schalk Blog Radio. Is that can we do that?
Speaker 4: It would be I T p frand for Shill is
Speaker 4: just legitimately the anti christ.
Speaker 1: I feel like that Cam would go on a Christian
Speaker 1: mingole dating website and make his profile.
Speaker 2: I had a body they got le.
Speaker 1: How is that even really?
Speaker 5: Well, there's many can I say? I just mean, I
Speaker 5: mean he made his user name slaying Hose for Jesus.
Speaker 1: Well, I think you told.
Speaker 3: Us well for that is crazy?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would fit in the Old Testament. We can't
Speaker 1: ban him from from Christian mingle if like half of
Speaker 1: the Old Testament characters did the same thing.
Speaker 2: Man, No, you can, you can.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty pretty cool.
Speaker 2: You can definitely ban him for that one.
Speaker 1: Well, uh kay, you did not exactly slay the offensive
Speaker 1: numbers in this game, because they were forty nine percent
Speaker 1: from the floor, twenty three percent from three, and fifty
Speaker 1: seven percent at the line. Bad, stinky, gross, All of
Speaker 1: those things I need, Like the fog horn sound effect
Speaker 1: that's like when something's bad. Is that?
Speaker 2: Is that a?
Speaker 1: Is this it? Nope? Not that one. Oh the SpongeBob one.
Speaker 1: That's what I want. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the one
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of. I'm there. That's the noise that's this
Speaker 1: offense sucks. But hey, they won. I don't care how
Speaker 1: it happened. They won a road game, they won two
Speaker 1: in a row. They knew Testament. Jayhawks are two and
Speaker 1: oh on the season, getting ready to face their biggest trial.
Speaker 1: What's the first big chest that an Old Testament character
Speaker 1: faces landing? Is it? Uh?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: It's probably Adam whenever he was like should I eat
Speaker 1: this apple?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's those Bills. That's the first big test.
Speaker 3: You might say the flood is the next one is
Speaker 3: Texas the flood.
Speaker 1: I'd be like, Colorado can be the can be the
Speaker 1: apple one, and this is the flood. Here comes great.
Speaker 4: Bill Soft was given If Bill Soft was given keys
Speaker 4: to an arc and they're like, hey, dude, like you
Speaker 4: can take pretty much everyone, but you can't take everyone.
Speaker 4: He would take all of kJ Adams and then ship
Speaker 4: everyone off the boat, just lock the doors. It'd be
Speaker 4: Bill and kJ riding high and that would be the end.
Speaker 1: Of it, and there'd be no rebounds to be had
Speaker 1: on that boat. But wow, would kJ slap that door
Speaker 1: whenever he slams it shut? And everybody else slap that man?
Speaker 1: Good good segment. That got way more philosophical than I
Speaker 1: ever thought it would. But hey, we needed to fill
Speaker 1: something in those forty minutes talking about Kansas and Colorado.
Speaker 1: New Year, New Testay, Big twelve Games, and I think
Speaker 1: we just may have a new segment on the show
Speaker 1: Big Twelve Games, written by Cam. Cam wrote these, gamery.
Speaker 2: Mis understood, baby.
Speaker 1: So if we say something that makes you go oh
Speaker 1: my gosh to your child sitting in the backseat, I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry you had to hear that. It is allegedly
Speaker 1: Cam's fault and not ours.
Speaker 3: No, it's definitively Cam's.
Speaker 4: It's one hundred pcent my fault. Also, Ryan just asked music,
Speaker 4: is there anything that's really bad in here? And I
Speaker 4: thought for a minute, I was like nah, and then
Speaker 4: I remembered, Yeah, there's some stuff in there that's pretty bad.
Speaker 2: So everyone hold out of your butts.
Speaker 1: We're going for it, Atlanta. You can go first, number nine.
Speaker 1: Arizona eighty three, Utah sixty six. What would be nice
Speaker 1: to get a win over Utah? Can't be my coach?
Speaker 3: Much like the old ND New Testament, we're going word
Speaker 3: for word translation here, So let's see what we got
Speaker 3: hold on here, thoughts in a game that no one
Speaker 3: cares about, not even the most Mormon of Mormons. Arizona
Speaker 3: Boat Race is a very Caucasian, developmentally challenged Utah team
Speaker 3: good Stuff. Utah ironically fired their coach just days after
Speaker 3: beating Kansas.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, good till they fired their coach who was
Speaker 1: Saturday not. My first thought was, oh, he had to
Speaker 1: have been doing something real bad, right, Like it couldn't
Speaker 1: have been basketball related.
Speaker 3: Maybe because that is way above, way exceeded expectations for
Speaker 3: the Utah Utes. Absolutely, Let's keep going and see what happens.
Speaker 3: Only report from this game is Caleb Love sucks but
Speaker 3: sometimes is good and had a good game here twenty
Speaker 3: three points seven to fifteen from three, which is exactly
Speaker 3: what happened to Kansas and their eventual clown show NCAA
Speaker 3: tournament loss. Probably so, probably so Caleb. I do think
Speaker 3: it's funny how there is Caleb Love and good Caleb Love,
Speaker 3: because normal Caleb Love is three for fifteen and oh
Speaker 3: of eight from three. But good Kleb Love does this
Speaker 3: sometimes and gets wins. Now here we go. Let's let's
Speaker 3: really think about who we are and think about our
Speaker 3: place in life.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: Side note, If your life depended on Caleb Love making
Speaker 3: a three pointer or Doug McDaniel passing a writing exam,
Speaker 3: which method of execution do you choose? And why is it?
Speaker 3: A firing squad captain by fran for Schella.
Speaker 1: I mean fran for Sheila is so short that he
Speaker 1: could point the gun like he could hold it out
Speaker 1: his head and it would go into my ankle.
Speaker 3: So I think, yeah, I could say, like maybe I
Speaker 3: could get away with her flesh wound, like go through
Speaker 3: my hip or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh, speaking up Fran for Schella, he tweeted about
Speaker 1: Craigsmith's firing. So take this for what it's worth that
Speaker 1: this had nothing to do with Craigsmith's coaching. This was
Speaker 1: one of the few times that nobody in his right
Speaker 1: mind would take this job without saying show me the
Speaker 1: nil money first. So it was probably about nil disagreements
Speaker 1: with the eight, says fran for Schilla. But yeah, they
Speaker 1: were picked fin his last in the Big twelve and
Speaker 1: they were seven and nine, which was like seventh place.
Speaker 1: This is a weird firing that you figure there is
Speaker 1: more to it. Also, I would bank on Caleb Love
Speaker 1: making a three, because he does that sometimes. According to
Speaker 1: the Wheelwheel student, Doug McDaniel is a literally all the time,
Speaker 1: oh man, good win for Zona, not a good win, well,
Speaker 1: maybe a good win here, but just a really really
Speaker 1: bad loss. You see backwards you cf eighty your favorite
Speaker 1: Dima Bitches seventy six cam rip Case State. It's really, really,
Speaker 1: really over now.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: Crazy faith couldn't save this Kansas State team from the
Speaker 4: CBIT Tournament. But what it can save them from is
Speaker 4: more Coleman Hawkins. It appears that he is gone. Coleman
Speaker 4: Hawkins is absent, just like my father's friend that went
Speaker 4: to seven to eleven for milk and never came back
Speaker 4: into his life. Doug McDaniel doug himself and his team
Speaker 4: into a hole here he went four to fourteen from
Speaker 4: the floor. After the game, Jerome Tang asked for more
Speaker 4: students import ironic once again, Jerome, you suck and you
Speaker 4: sound like a mildly slow Looney Tunes character.
Speaker 1: Yeah, can we I've had enough in twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: of basketball coaches blaming the students for like, we would
Speaker 1: be better if we get a full house. You put
Speaker 1: do something worth putting butts in seats. Strom, You're thirteen
Speaker 1: and fifteen with a like an eight million dollar basketball
Speaker 1: team out there.
Speaker 3: Also, you only scored seventy six against UCF, who's averaging
Speaker 3: giving up like ninety eight points in conference play. It
Speaker 3: feels like.
Speaker 1: Lucky, lucky me gets to read about the Mormons, which
Speaker 1: Cam puts next, Yes, k State, it is over over.
Speaker 1: They're done unless they win the Big twelve tournament, and
Speaker 1: they will not win the Big Twelve Tournament.
Speaker 2: Nope.
Speaker 1: BYU ninety one, Arizona State, eighty one, boy, Cam, that
Speaker 1: is so good. I would say that if I if
Speaker 1: it was even possible for me to say this sentence
Speaker 1: and then repent enough to still not go to hell
Speaker 1: one day. The Mormons did to Arizona State. What sucks.
Speaker 1: I can't even like kind of say this.
Speaker 2: It's just this.
Speaker 1: The Mormons ended Arizona State enacting revenge on a party
Speaker 1: school is the most Mormon thing ever. By the way,
Speaker 1: Cam adds, Kevin Young, the white one, not the Kansas
Speaker 1: s guy, continues to be a dominant force in the
Speaker 1: Big twelve, and Cam looks forward to seeing him go
Speaker 1: to a better school at approximately two years. Really nice
Speaker 1: coaching job there. They lost Mark Pope, who had been
Speaker 1: there a long time, and now BYU scariest six seed
Speaker 1: in the field. We'll see if that holds.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: As I say that and go off script, then Cam
Speaker 1: writes BYU feels like a team that's getting upset in
Speaker 1: the first round because they're gonna miss all but two
Speaker 1: of their threes. Yup could go either way. Still think
Speaker 1: they're dangerous. They are tight for fourth now in the
Speaker 1: Big Twelve, though they are nine and two in their
Speaker 1: last eleven games. Really good serge for the coupe, excellent run.
Speaker 1: They're good. Landon hated on them at the start of
Speaker 1: the year. He was wrong.
Speaker 3: I did super wrong.
Speaker 1: I think we've done that two years in a row.
Speaker 1: I think we picked him the finish second last last
Speaker 1: year and nope, just kno gonna they're all old. Stop
Speaker 1: picking twenty five year old guys to not do well
Speaker 1: in college basketball.
Speaker 3: We need to learn this, especially when they're white and
Speaker 3: shoot threes primarily.
Speaker 1: Number four Houston sixty nine, Number ten Texas Tech sixty one.
Speaker 1: There was one more chance for somebody else to hold
Speaker 1: on the hope of winning part of the Big Twelve,
Speaker 1: and it's over landa. Then Houston's gonna win the whole thing.
Speaker 3: Outright, Yeah, and Kansas is gonna get pissed on Texas
Speaker 3: Tech on Saturday hashtag new Testament Hawks says Cam. Texas Tech,
Speaker 3: like we said earlier, is maybe or maybe not gonna
Speaker 3: have a couple of their players on the court comes Saturday.
Speaker 3: But yeah, Texas Tech on a loss or two here,
Speaker 3: not a great kind of team when you have a
Speaker 3: top ten team that's angry coming into your home. But
Speaker 3: Houston gets the win. In the last, Houston does unspeakable
Speaker 3: things to their teams at their own facility, and Cam
Speaker 3: likens that to another man that I will not say,
Speaker 3: but that is true. Houston defends defends the house pretty well.
Speaker 3: Joseph Tugler at eight points. Not important to the game,
Speaker 3: but awesome name. I agree, Joseph Tugler is a very
Speaker 3: good name.
Speaker 2: And I will not read the last.
Speaker 3: We're not we are going off, so so Cam, I.
Speaker 1: Will add, Cam is writing things while we can't say
Speaker 1: them on the air, they are not untrue. It's kind
Speaker 1: of like whenever you say something really mean, that about
Speaker 1: the fat person that cuts you off in traffic, and
Speaker 1: you're like, that fat bastard cut me off, and your
Speaker 1: wife right next to you says, oh, that's so mean.
Speaker 1: She doesn't say that's not true. He just says that's
Speaker 1: so mean. And that's the same thing that we're dealing
Speaker 1: with here. Yeah, the Spider Man meme, the two Spider
Speaker 1: Man's plinty of each other. That's twenty tens Kansas in
Speaker 1: twenties twenties Houston. They have lost one I think might
Speaker 1: be two. It's one ish road game in the last
Speaker 1: year and a half. They just they just go into
Speaker 1: your place and take your money.
Speaker 4: They are twenty ten's Kansas. But I also think in
Speaker 4: Landon said this in the last show or two shows ago.
Speaker 4: They're destined to lose in the Elite.
Speaker 1: Eight because they're eventually going to get beat from the
Speaker 1: three point line. And what helps them though, is they
Speaker 1: are the best three point shooting team in the conference.
Speaker 1: Like they have upgraded that this year without Jamal shed
Speaker 1: Calvin Sampson gets my vote after Pat Kelsey. I think
Speaker 1: Kelvin Sampson has to be the second leader right now
Speaker 1: and national Coach of the Year. He's done an amazing job.
Speaker 1: I know people are gonna say Bruce Pearl. I think
Speaker 1: Calvin Sampson has rebuilt that team. They are younger than
Speaker 1: Auburn is and what they have done in this league
Speaker 1: is just truly wild. Someone who's not gonna get Coach
Speaker 1: of the Year is Scott Drew because he might not
Speaker 1: even make the ornament. Cam Cincinnati sixty nine, Baylor sixty seven.
Speaker 1: All year long, we've recapt Baylor losses. Here's another.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Baylor continues to disappoint their fans, much like Billy
Speaker 4: Hurley still disappoints his own father. Question, do you guys
Speaker 4: think Baylor will make the NCAA tournament?
Speaker 3: Boy, it's harrier by the day.
Speaker 1: The odds have never been worse for them than they
Speaker 1: are now. I'm looking. They have three games left. They
Speaker 1: have Oklahoma stayed at home and at TCU. I think
Speaker 1: they gotta win them both. Then they get Houston at
Speaker 1: home on Senior Day. If they don't go like two
Speaker 1: to one, at least, that's gonna mean that they have
Speaker 1: at least eleven big twelve losses and like an eight
Speaker 1: seed in Kansas City, that Saint John's win is gonna
Speaker 1: be what gets them in if they do. But it's close.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not sure.
Speaker 3: They is very close. I think based on reputation they
Speaker 3: might still be barely on the inside right now. But
Speaker 3: it is extremely close.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I did not care to put any stats into
Speaker 4: this game. Part is my effort level dropped in this
Speaker 4: part of the paper. But also VJ. Edgecomb had a
Speaker 4: really good game. Can't remember how many scored. We scored
Speaker 4: a lot. Do you guys remember when Kansas thought we,
Speaker 4: you know, had a great win at Cincinnati and it
Speaker 4: was a great road win. Well, the person that won't
Speaker 4: remember is Joseph Robin at Biden Junior.
Speaker 1: Hey, Joe, don't look now. Don't look now, Cam, but
Speaker 1: you may dump on Kansas not getting a great win
Speaker 1: when they beat Cincy. That is the highest ranked team
Speaker 1: in the Big Twelve that they've defeated on the road
Speaker 1: this year. I may TCU was one game better. I
Speaker 1: don't know TCU that it's I think since he's the
Speaker 1: better team, I think Cincinnati is the best team they've
Speaker 1: beaten on the road this year.
Speaker 2: I think you're right too. And that's pretty pretty sad.
Speaker 3: It's gross.
Speaker 1: Speaking of sad, Oklahoma State seventy four, number nine, Iowa
Speaker 1: State sixty eight and what can be described as a
Speaker 1: catastrophic structural failure, which I think my favorite part of
Speaker 1: that is what they said happened. That's a very very
Speaker 1: allegedly wait a word that camp Iowa State loses two
Speaker 1: starters and gets Oh boy, that came right. You want
Speaker 1: to talk about a sentence hitting me right in the
Speaker 1: face all of a sudden out of nowhere.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Iowa State. So Curtis Curtis Jones did play Keyshawn Gilbert.
Speaker 1: Still isn't right? They are like four and five now
Speaker 1: in their last nine Who's main? Abu had twenty five
Speaker 1: points on seven and eleven seven four eleven, three point shooting.
Speaker 1: So he did nice things for the Cowboys. Shout out
Speaker 1: to Cyclone Larry. That is true the best Big twelve
Speaker 1: Twitter account to follow Cyclone Larry knows what's up?
Speaker 3: Cam? I do have to say the sentence that Ryan
Speaker 3: didn't read his art.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it isak his art.
Speaker 1: I would I would like to know if there's a
Speaker 1: Chuck E Cheese and still water, let's see, Chucky, I'm
Speaker 1: not allowed. Uh there is one in Oklahoma City. I
Speaker 1: think that's gonna have to be. That's close enough, right.
Speaker 2: If you're doing it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, If you're not allowed within five hundred feet of
Speaker 4: a Chuck E Cheese or elementary school, are you trying
Speaker 4: hard enough in life?
Speaker 1: Well, everybody from this state is probably banned from a
Speaker 1: Chuck E Cheese. West Virginia seventy three TCUFC five all
Speaker 1: yours landing.
Speaker 2: This is a good one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was wondering what my general strategy was gonna
Speaker 3: be here as I read ahead a little bit. Let's
Speaker 3: rip it man in a state completely devoid of hope
Speaker 3: now that current legislators have took away all their food
Speaker 3: stamps filing some good news for the Mountaineers as they
Speaker 3: blow out a bad TCU team. Also, thank god they
Speaker 3: stopputting five transgender people play college sports and cut healthcare
Speaker 3: and medicaid priorities. Will this mean anything in the grand
Speaker 3: scheme of things? No, no bugs, Bunny dut gift. No,
Speaker 3: but good first thing that does not have much going
Speaker 3: for them, mining and treed areas, forested woods. That's West
Speaker 3: Virginia has. For the most part. Jamie Dixon continues to
Speaker 3: streak of spectacular mediocrity. Honestly, no one cares about this
Speaker 3: game outside of West Virginia. I'm not even sure they
Speaker 3: did so much.
Speaker 1: This is Cam run along in the front of us
Speaker 1: to put all sorts of bombs and the nodes, just
Speaker 1: making sure that Mayking sure that one of us gets
Speaker 1: gets got at, not getting got sir Cam. Nick walked
Speaker 1: so you could run because Nick spent years trying to
Speaker 1: put bombs in these notes for landing, and it worked
Speaker 1: a couple of times. It did work a couple of times.
Speaker 3: I've come through wars. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Big twelve standings. Houston has cleansed the share of the league.
Speaker 1: As long as they don't lose out they will win
Speaker 1: outright Big Twelve title number two in two years. They
Speaker 1: are sixteen and one. Arizona the only threat to tie them.
Speaker 1: They won't, but they are still alive at thirteen and four.
Speaker 3: Texas Tech twelve and five alone in third, tied for fourth,
Speaker 3: Iowa State NB YU eleven and.
Speaker 4: Six in sixth place, Kansas ten and seven in seven,
Speaker 4: with Baylor, TCU and West Virginia at eight and nine.
Speaker 1: Then you have Utah, Case State and Cincinnati. Three non
Speaker 1: tournament teams are seven and ten. Oklahoma State and UCF
Speaker 1: are six and eleven. Arizona State at four and thirteen,
Speaker 1: and then about to clinch outright possession of last is
Speaker 1: two and fifteen Colorado, who Tad Boyle said after the game,
Speaker 1: you have to be a grown ass man to stop
Speaker 1: Hunter Dickinson in the post, which really has had to
Speaker 1: be confusing for all the people that have said very
Speaker 1: mean things about Hunter or not being very tough on
Speaker 1: Twitter other games, Well, we normally lead off with the
Speaker 1: SEC but today we're letting the Big Ten hit lead off.
Speaker 1: We're number fifteen. Michigan won officially the worst basketball game
Speaker 1: in the history of basketball games, winning at Nebraska in
Speaker 1: a walk off field goal to win on the grid
Speaker 1: iron forty nine to forty six. Nope, just kidding, it
Speaker 1: was a basketball game. I think both of these teams
Speaker 1: should get ls. You know, people love going back in
Speaker 1: time and trying to change election results. Pause, let's go
Speaker 1: back in time and shame the results of this basketball game.
Speaker 1: Let's give them both losses. Why don't we The team's
Speaker 1: combined to go thirty four for one hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: three from the floor, which is twenty seven percent.
Speaker 3: On the opposite end of good.
Speaker 2: Though.
Speaker 3: Michigan's fine, but the leader in this league, first place
Speaker 3: in the Big Ten still in the hands of number
Speaker 3: eight Michigan State, who got an excellent roadway in at
Speaker 3: sixteen Maryland fifty eight to fifty five. We call that excellent.
Speaker 3: That is only what like nine and also eighteen total
Speaker 3: points better than Michigan Nebraska. It's masquerading is a good game,
Speaker 3: but a good run at.
Speaker 1: Least it was on the road against a better team.
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody who's ever struggled to score against Nebraska.
Speaker 1: They lose every game they play, like ninety to eighty six.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Tom Izzo's team is now eighteen and three since the
Speaker 3: start of December, otherwise known as an inverse. Kansas eleven
Speaker 3: Wisconsin beat Washington to stay in third place, and number
Speaker 3: twenty per two is fourth. But we don't care.
Speaker 2: About them corip.
Speaker 4: Number two Duke pooped on Miami by thirty seven. Each
Speaker 4: of their last seven wins are by at least seventeen points.
Speaker 4: Fun fact, I actually allegedly took a Duke all spread
Speaker 4: by like thirty points in this game.
Speaker 1: They won by more and it worse because a man
Speaker 1: is hot.
Speaker 2: Don't let me cook.
Speaker 4: They're sixteen to one in the ACC play, but they
Speaker 4: only the conference by one game. As a Number nineteen
Speaker 4: Louisville and number thirteen Clemson are both fifteen and two.
Speaker 4: North Carolina, who is currently the first team out on ESPN,
Speaker 4: is eleven and six after beating Florida State on the road.
Speaker 4: Their tournament hopes will likely be determined next weekend when
Speaker 4: they host Duke on College Game Day also, Hubert Davis
Speaker 4: got a contract extension.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know why, and I don't know if
Speaker 1: North Carolina thought that they were actually doing a contact
Speaker 1: reduction and just got it wrong. And then did you
Speaker 1: hear the reason? So, Hubert Davis is a state employee
Speaker 1: obviously for the University of North Carolina. This sort of
Speaker 1: thing should be officially announced and you have to answer
Speaker 1: it if you're asked. So the only reason that it
Speaker 1: came out is because a reporter asked Hubert Davis if
Speaker 1: he was aware of what he was going to do
Speaker 1: at like the end of his contract, and he had
Speaker 1: to say, I'm signed through twenty thirty. And nobody knew that.
Speaker 1: And they asked North Carolina administration why they didn't publicly
Speaker 1: post it, and their answer was, and I'm being serious,
Speaker 1: we forgot. Oh my gosh, that's that's what happened this week.
Speaker 1: They forgot to post that Hubert Davis got an extension
Speaker 1: like eight months ago, right, Yeah, And what they mean
Speaker 1: by that is we weren't gonna say anything unless we
Speaker 1: were asked. I am okay with North Carolina getting in
Speaker 1: the tournament because they have a lightning rod player that's
Speaker 1: fun to watch. In March and RJ.
Speaker 2: Davis.
Speaker 1: I'd much rather see them get in than a freaking
Speaker 1: I don't know who's in Oklahoma, Texas like you and C.
Speaker 2: You and C.
Speaker 1: I hope gets in and I think they will because
Speaker 1: they're North Carolina.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3: Ryan's other favorite electric guard, Paige Becker's had three point
Speaker 3: tennis is double double as Yukon women won for the
Speaker 3: sixteenth time in the last seventeen games. She's as awesome
Speaker 3: as Dan Hurley is insufferable as Connecticut man arenowned fourth
Speaker 3: place in the Big East. On number seven Saint John's,
Speaker 3: which genuinely the only reason Pagebackers comes up in the
Speaker 3: show at all. It's just because Ryan thinks she's hot.
Speaker 3: He's not wrong.
Speaker 1: I just I needed to talk about Yukon sucking balls,
Speaker 1: and I thought that i'd talk about something that I
Speaker 1: like about the Yukon program because it ain't Dan Hurley.
Speaker 3: Hey, fair enough, I can't argue with that at all.
Speaker 3: I agree with you on number seven. Saint John's clinched
Speaker 3: the title this week by winning at Butler, making Rick
Speaker 3: Patino the first coach in college basketball history to win
Speaker 3: a conference title with five different schools and have slept
Speaker 3: with a waitress.
Speaker 1: Darn it, Landon, I was gonna say, Rick Patino is
Speaker 1: one of the is the only basketball coach in the
Speaker 1: history of the UNCA to do three things. Number one
Speaker 1: win a conference title at five different schools. Number two
Speaker 1: win a national title at two different schools, and number
Speaker 1: three pay an Applebee's waitress for an abortion.
Speaker 2: Allegedly.
Speaker 1: We've been over this camp. It was not a legend.
Speaker 1: It happened in court.
Speaker 2: Did he was he proven guilty in quarter? Or does
Speaker 2: this all hearsay?
Speaker 1: I don't know if he did a crime like I
Speaker 1: don't know if like like it's not a crime.
Speaker 4: Thing, a crime to pad an Appleby's waitress to have
Speaker 4: an abortion. I just about said some of the yes.
Speaker 1: But well, I'll do my homework on that. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 2: Frowned upon generally.
Speaker 3: It is. It's an odd It's an oddity. If nothing else,
Speaker 3: it's very strange.
Speaker 2: Babe, little curveball is my turn?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 1: It is? I'm gonna look up how what the age
Speaker 1: difference was between those two and see if it's the.
Speaker 3: I got the forty and a half.
Speaker 2: It was a lot.
Speaker 4: I'll read while you do this number one Auburn scored
Speaker 4: one hundred and six and old miss number six Alabama
Speaker 4: hung there one hundred and eleven on number twenty four
Speaker 4: Mississippi State, keeping them a top. The sec behind them
Speaker 4: is number three Florida, who played the wildest game of
Speaker 4: the week in Athens by falling behind by twenty five
Speaker 4: in the first half, coming all the way back to
Speaker 4: take the lead in the final ninety seconds, and then
Speaker 4: promptly running out of gas. Georgia bat the Gators eighty
Speaker 4: eight to eighty three.
Speaker 1: Wild basketball game which I don't even need a LABORNIXX
Speaker 1: cam just said, Landon, you're going to be surprised. She
Speaker 1: was only seven years younger than Rick Beatino. According to
Speaker 1: this article US it happened in two thousand and three,
Speaker 1: and yeah, Patino was fifty the waitress was forty three.
Speaker 4: If you're a forty three year old waitress at Applebe's,
Speaker 4: I equate that to be in a Vietnam tunnel rat
Speaker 4: for seven years.
Speaker 1: I was still a little surprised that the forty three
Speaker 1: year old needed money for an abortion. But people are
Speaker 1: having kids much later in life, or are capable of
Speaker 1: having kids in this case. Elsewhere in the SEC. Fourth
Speaker 1: place number five Tennessee one LSU. They've picked up some
Speaker 1: nice wins. Fifth place, number fourteen Missouri rolled South Carolina,
Speaker 1: first time Missouri has ever scored one hundre points in
Speaker 1: consecutive games against Power five teams. Sixth place, number twelve
Speaker 1: Texas A and M got upset at home by Vanderbilt.
Speaker 1: And then there's Oklahoma, which, if you know why we're
Speaker 1: reading this, you know they lost because they always lose.
Speaker 1: Porter Moser watched his old point guard Otega Away score
Speaker 1: number seventeen Kentucky's final eighteen points. I've never seen one
Speaker 1: player score a team's final eighteen points, but that's what
Speaker 1: happened here wild they beat. He beat his former team
Speaker 1: at the Buzzer in an eighty three eighty two home
Speaker 1: loss for the Sooners. Somebody I don't remember who it was.
Speaker 1: A college basketball rider with a blue check mark posted
Speaker 1: on Twitter that Oklahoma is quote probably out as of today. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no job, They're four and eleven and SEC play How
Speaker 1: in the world is this close?
Speaker 4: That's like someone writing yet Kansas is probably out of
Speaker 4: the college football playoff?
Speaker 1: Well in their response is oh kN Palm has him
Speaker 1: forty three? I don't care what kin Palm has him.
Speaker 1: And you're four and eleven and messeec.
Speaker 2: You do not put.
Speaker 1: Oklahoma in the tournament at anybody's expense. And if there's
Speaker 1: nobody else, if everybody else declines a bid, put sixty
Speaker 1: five teams in the tournament, or I guess it'd be
Speaker 1: sixty seven. Right, it's a sixty eighteen field. Whatever. Don't
Speaker 1: put Porter in the tournament. He sucks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not very good, right, teams.
Speaker 1: Last time we did a show, oh, Landing.
Speaker 4: Go for it.
Speaker 1: You want to talk about Porter?
Speaker 3: I ruined? What was to this point a flawless show?
Speaker 3: That's my bad?
Speaker 1: Oh right, yeah it was. Was it the Applebee's waitress
Speaker 1: abortion talk or the pagebackers early comp What was the
Speaker 1: point where you realized it wasn't a perfect show?
Speaker 3: Uh, when the music started at the beginning.
Speaker 4: It was probably when Landon had to read about West
Speaker 4: Virginia is losing food stamps.
Speaker 3: No, it was long before that.
Speaker 1: It was whenever we started going over the Bible characters
Speaker 1: that had a hundred wives.
Speaker 3: That was good, solid, that was great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, good good times.
Speaker 2: Good twelve seed King Solomon.
Speaker 1: That'd be fun seating the Bible character.
Speaker 4: Sixteen sixteen men bracket of Bible characters, you have like
Speaker 4: the number sixteen seed Judas's carriat playing the one seed
Speaker 4: of actual Jesus.
Speaker 2: And then that's a blowout.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, Jesus, let me tell you who
Speaker 1: the porter Moser is of Bible characters. It's Joseph. It
Speaker 1: is not not not son Joseph who got child into slavery.
Speaker 6: Not him, Mary's wife Joseph, that completely deadbeat father is
Speaker 6: the sixteen seed.
Speaker 1: Of poor Moss.
Speaker 4: Allegedly, you're speaking like you're on a Moury show, and
Speaker 4: freaking Joseph left to go get milk and never came back.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's how it worked.
Speaker 1: No, you stop whenever he's like, oh, this is Jesus.
Speaker 1: So I guess I'll pay attention now. If that baby's
Speaker 1: name was like Fred or something, he would not have
Speaker 1: anything to do with it.
Speaker 4: Wasn't that Moses that like floated down the Nile River
Speaker 4: in a like a basket or something like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's basically.
Speaker 4: Remy Martin getting picked up in the transfer portal. You're welcome, guys.
Speaker 1: That's who the self would have slavery. Yeah, yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: since the last show, Number twelve Texas, A and M.
Speaker 1: They can be Jacob's eldest son because they are always
Speaker 1: a damn disappointment. They lost to Vanderbilt.
Speaker 3: Number sixteen Maryland. They lost to Michigan State. Who's Who's
Speaker 3: a Who's a Bible character that like theoretically was supposed
Speaker 3: to be great and then really fell off. I just
Speaker 3: did nothing for a long time. That might also be Solomon.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the thing about that one. Yea, I have
Speaker 4: nothing on that one. Number twenty four in Mississippi State
Speaker 4: lost to Alabama.
Speaker 1: A lot of people losed Alabama. That's cool.
Speaker 3: Characters that committed incest. He's Alabama's lots daughters.
Speaker 1: It's gonna say that's the sec or whatever. I guess
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. I guess we're gonna do. Ask RCB.
Speaker 1: Now we'll see if there's any Biblical questions. Okay, So
Speaker 1: I had named the last few shows like the b
Speaker 1: Yu Loss Meltdown, the Utah Loss Meltdown. I think this
Speaker 1: might just be the Bible episode like that. It's just
Speaker 1: the the.
Speaker 4: New test Kansas big as the actual New Testament.
Speaker 2: I'm not making a joke towards that.
Speaker 1: At cam Lipple Golf says ask nonsense. Okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: google breaker questions to ask a girl you like, and
Speaker 1: in that case, I guess that'd be you.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 1: Let's see what interesting?
Speaker 2: How do you feel about Roe v Wade?
Speaker 1: What? Oh no, no, no, no, no, no no no. Hey
Speaker 1: you for listening to the last episode of Inside the
Speaker 1: Paint Pleasure knowing you Cam at least got into sixth
Speaker 1: place before it all blew up. Yeah, you're number six.
Speaker 1: You want nonsense? Here's some common icebreaker questions to ask
Speaker 1: a girl, uh, which I guess is all of us.
Speaker 1: What is your go to karaoke song?
Speaker 2: Where do you stand? Number one?
Speaker 1: For me? Because girls don't like me, that's not true, Land,
Speaker 1: And my wife thinks you're very attractive.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, but she'll never have sex with me because
Speaker 3: that's already taken. Not that I want that, just as
Speaker 3: an example to prove the point I've thought about to
Speaker 3: be exceedingly clear.
Speaker 1: What a segment? What a segment to ask RCB at
Speaker 1: Ryan and his Girlandra why uh this?
Speaker 3: This could actually approve a lot of why of my
Speaker 3: previous statement that I just made things like that might
Speaker 3: be deep examples.
Speaker 2: Well this is the best.
Speaker 1: This just turned into the best forty five seconds in
Speaker 1: the history of the show.
Speaker 4: Where you stand on Amelia Earhart's flying skills.
Speaker 1: Oh is this is this like off the rails? I
Speaker 1: don't want to say.
Speaker 4: I'm just thinking. I'm just thinking a Brown verse or not.
Speaker 4: I'm just thinking of random ice breakers that would.
Speaker 2: Was Ted Bundy just misunderstood?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 1: Really now boy later than Bill self seeing Rylan Griffin's
Speaker 1: about to start shooting threes, Amelia Earhart sucked as a
Speaker 1: pilot and she killed a guy.
Speaker 4: You know who else killed the guy? Was Laura Bush.
Speaker 4: There's a fun fact of the night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, get up, Yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 2: Had an accident.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know that happened. Oh wow, Kim, you're freaking right.
Speaker 3: I told you this.
Speaker 1: Lady Laura Bush in nineteen sixty three missed a stop
Speaker 1: sign and slammed her car into another vehicle, killing her
Speaker 1: friend who was driving the other vehicle.
Speaker 2: How I don't know.
Speaker 1: So the person that she hit couldn't walk or the
Speaker 1: person Jim Beheim it couldn't walk.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. Anyway, wants to do ask RCP.
Speaker 1: Okay, right back where we start good icebreaker questions. This
Speaker 1: is all Camp's fault because he said to ask nonsense
Speaker 1: at Ryan underscore Landra, what is the strangest thing you've
Speaker 1: ever eaten?
Speaker 3: Good question?
Speaker 2: Uh? Es cargo snails? Is it good cargo? No?
Speaker 4: They never do it. It's I almost threw up.
Speaker 1: I have no exotic foods. My answer is like lacroix
Speaker 1: or something that's not calamari. I mean, that's not that weird.
Speaker 1: It's very Yeah, that's pretty good. Landon is Landon seems
Speaker 1: like he would try just about any food and find
Speaker 1: a positive trade about all of it. Like I can't.
Speaker 1: That's a good disliking very many foods.
Speaker 3: I would try most things at least once. Yeah. Pease,
Speaker 3: pease suck. Pease have no redeeming quality like peas.
Speaker 1: Correct, you know when they're even worse. They're even worse
Speaker 1: when you keep them in the pod and you bite
Speaker 1: into it thinking it's like a green bean and it's not.
Speaker 1: There's three little frickin' peas in there. It's like, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, I hope the person that put that in
Speaker 1: there has a horrible day.
Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 4: I'm down so bad right now. The other night I
Speaker 4: just ate line of beans.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is yeah, Cam, we need to get you
Speaker 1: out of the Icago, where everything costs thirty dollars more
Speaker 1: than it does anywhere else.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Twitter is down.
Speaker 3: I can't It's how we supposed to know anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it's uh okay, I think I think it's
Speaker 1: working now at cam Lipple Golf. Why does Ryan only
Speaker 1: like fat chicks? Okay, Cam, let's.
Speaker 2: Ask that question. I did not ask that.
Speaker 4: I did ask on the show, and you did not
Speaker 4: read it.
Speaker 3: Is it for chunky cheese? Yeah, reasons Ryan.
Speaker 1: We recorded too late, Cam, so I will go back
Speaker 1: and uh and get that question. Actually, I gotta scroll
Speaker 1: past a lot of Colorado.
Speaker 2: I know what it was.
Speaker 4: It was something like, yeah, would you would you rather
Speaker 4: I'm trying to think how it word this. Would you
Speaker 4: rather be buried in volcanic ash and Pompeii or get
Speaker 4: chased by a five hundred pound hippo? And then I said,
Speaker 4: we all know what Ryan's answer is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one sounds hot and the other is getting a
Speaker 1: lot of hot ash dumped on you. I guess, Uh,
Speaker 1: I think I'd rather take the sudden death. Well, I
Speaker 1: don't know what's worse being just being killed by a
Speaker 1: hippo or being killed by volcanic ash.
Speaker 2: I don't think either's great.
Speaker 1: Dude, No, I don't think there's even good yikes.
Speaker 2: Mmm, I don't know.
Speaker 3: But if it was volcanic ash and Lizzo was there,
Speaker 3: would that sway you?
Speaker 1: Why Lizzo? Why's it got to be Lizzo? All this
Speaker 1: came from is saying that if if someone has a
Speaker 1: little bit more curves than they did ten years prior,
Speaker 1: that it's not inherently a bad thing. And so cam
Speaker 1: Here's that thinks that's it. Ryan watched right there on
Speaker 1: the streets.
Speaker 4: I no, I didn't hear that. I just took it
Speaker 4: and rain with it in that direction now.
Speaker 3: And then I said, Ryan watches my six hundred pound
Speaker 3: life when Angie's out apparently she's at with me? Is
Speaker 3: where this is a wow?
Speaker 1: The itp Iceberg that will one day be created on
Speaker 1: the Reddit page whenever the show gets one. Just got
Speaker 1: a lot deeper, didn't it. That is is an outstanding reference.
Speaker 1: That's good at AJ Stevenson, what is your favorite Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift song? Also says and or Era. My answer is
Speaker 1: country Taylor Swift is better than pop Taylor Swift. I
Speaker 1: think that that like two thousand and eight era was
Speaker 1: the peak.
Speaker 3: Whichever one the Maryland Tarriffin thing was. What's that one?
Speaker 3: That's a good song?
Speaker 1: No, I couldn't tell you, but I know what you're
Speaker 1: talking about.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Trouble, Trouble. I knew your trouble. That's that's that's
Speaker 3: her best song. In my opinion.
Speaker 1: That may be the least Landon song I ever would
Speaker 1: have imagined. You say you'd like, like, that's fine.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 1: Imagine Taylor all.
Speaker 3: Too Well songs, get get Ready, Taylor Swift fans, all
Speaker 3: one of you that listens to this All Too Well sucks, unlistenable, garbage,
Speaker 3: bad song, Stop listening to it.
Speaker 1: See that's how I feel about bad Blood. That's like,
Speaker 1: I can't do that one. It done a radio a lot,
Speaker 1: can't stand it. I like Country era Taylor Swift, and
Speaker 1: I like Antihero. I think that song is pretty good.
Speaker 3: It's fine.
Speaker 1: That's what Bill self wrote about Florie Badonga at James D. Bedford,
Speaker 1: What are your favorite sports movies? Each? Give your top three? Okay, well,
Speaker 1: you guys can think and I'll answer this. Number one
Speaker 1: is Kicking and Screaming, which I don't know if it
Speaker 1: counts Barrel as a soccer coach. It is a fabulous movie.
Speaker 1: Absolutely love that. So many references that I could make
Speaker 1: with that, with that movie, it is awesome. I like Moneyball.
Speaker 1: I'd probably say that's that second, remembering the Titans. I
Speaker 1: remember the Titans is good. Well, that's I see. I
Speaker 1: think I think Hoosiers is overrated. Also, like The blind Side,
Speaker 1: that was good. I'm trying to think of others.
Speaker 3: This is four.
Speaker 1: I think Friday night Lights is probably the best actual
Speaker 1: sports movie. But Moneyball is really good too. That's unique.
Speaker 3: Moneyball is the is one of my four favorite movies
Speaker 3: on letterboxed. I love Moneyball, one of my favorite movies
Speaker 3: of all time. That's number one for me. Creed, I'm
Speaker 3: a big Creed guy.
Speaker 2: Creed's very good, yep.
Speaker 3: And then probably The Sandlot Sandlots.
Speaker 1: So as Angels in the Outfield, which that just popped.
Speaker 3: In the sand lat is a three million miles better
Speaker 3: than Angels in the Outfield.
Speaker 1: I think it's a better movie, but it has a
Speaker 1: worse soundtrack. Angels in the Outfield soundtrack, it's is nostalgic.
Speaker 1: That's the Oyle's home run song? Or was that is bad?
Speaker 3: I get that. I get that understandable.
Speaker 1: They didn't hit many homers, but when they did, that's
Speaker 1: what the song played.
Speaker 4: I'll go with the Greatest Game Ever played golf movie.
Speaker 4: I like Road to Glory. I think that's a good movie. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and then I also like Coach Carter pretty much. Those
Speaker 4: are the three I like the most.
Speaker 1: Concussion is really good too. That one's kind of hard
Speaker 1: to watch. It's pretty gruesome at times. It was the
Speaker 1: it was the NFL movie that came out, uh, and
Speaker 1: it's it's it's pretty good, but it's not the inspiring
Speaker 1: underdog story. It's not Rocky level inspiring. It's kind of
Speaker 1: the opposite. But it's good. At x x X ads
Speaker 1: x x X Okay, I can do that. Is Clemens
Speaker 1: hurt or is he just unplayable? He's hurt. He's pretty
Speaker 1: much done for the year with the hip stinger. I
Speaker 1: think in yes, that is true. If he was not hurt,
Speaker 1: he would be unplayable. No, they have said that they
Speaker 1: don't anticipate him returning this year, at least. I think
Speaker 1: I've seen that on Twitter at Chris Sierko two. How
Speaker 1: much momentum and confidence could win over Texas Tech get
Speaker 1: ku moving forward. Uh so, yeah, that's that's a huge
Speaker 1: Like it's funny how now the questions uh and and uh.
Speaker 1: Chris has been the optimistic camp for a while, but
Speaker 1: it is funny how a lot of the questions that
Speaker 1: I'm seeing from other accounts that were like, wow, should
Speaker 1: they fire our self? And we're now like, hey, how
Speaker 1: about a path to winning a big twelve tournament like
Speaker 1: sort of questions. As everybody is feeling a lot better,
Speaker 1: that's all that happens.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: Yes, I think that if they beat Texas Tech, that'll
Speaker 1: be three in a row that will match the longest
Speaker 1: Winston Conference play, and then you'll probably ranto the rankings.
Speaker 1: Then you'll start to feel a lot better about Oh
Speaker 1: this team. They might get back to that four or
Speaker 1: five line.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, Yeah, I agree for sure.
Speaker 1: At show me, Huck says, remember when Land and joked
Speaker 1: at the Colorado game and Boulder would be a five
Speaker 1: point game with four minutes left and then.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 2: Well done, Thank you, thank you for the ball team.
Speaker 1: Predictable, Jayhawks are predictable. All Elon's okay, yep, it went
Speaker 1: down again. Now it's now it's working. I think at
Speaker 1: Elliott rus And h one. If you can have one
Speaker 1: life skill which you are the best in the world at, what.
Speaker 3: Would it be.
Speaker 1: It could be spirtulated if you want, but it's more
Speaker 1: fun if it's not maybe the best in the world
Speaker 1: at something. Man, I think I'd want to be the
Speaker 1: fastest person on Earth. I don't know if that like
Speaker 1: it would be fun whenever it's zero degrees and I
Speaker 1: got to take my trash can of the curve. If
Speaker 1: I could, like, just like dash Ahle sprint and I'm
Speaker 1: back in the house film director.
Speaker 3: That's subjective, but if I could be in this subjective question,
Speaker 3: that's what I would hear.
Speaker 1: James Cameron. But thirty years earlier.
Speaker 3: And better than James Cameron.
Speaker 4: I guess the best in this scenario best sports better
Speaker 4: on the entire planet.
Speaker 1: That's fascinating because that comes with other layers like that
Speaker 1: win you money, but it's not guaranteed. It's not like
Speaker 1: you're like, I want to be the best, you know,
Speaker 1: the best South African immigrant that turned doage government thing
Speaker 1: just because you want a big check. And it's not
Speaker 1: like you're saying you want to be the best athlete
Speaker 1: because you know that's an easy check. Sports better is interesting.
Speaker 1: I wonder how much money the best sports better is
Speaker 1: in the world make.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I feel like over time
Speaker 2: you lose to be honest. I don't know.
Speaker 1: At Elliott rus and h No, he says, you guys
Speaker 1: had made a comment the other day about those preseason
Speaker 1: prop bets. Just wanted to report I had also re
Speaker 1: listened to that episode the other day. Dramatic pause. I
Speaker 1: would advise never to go back and listen to it
Speaker 1: again and maybe burn the tapes.
Speaker 4: I don't remember what I said on that show.
Speaker 1: I know we thought aj Store would be second on
Speaker 1: the team in scoring. I remember that one vividly.
Speaker 2: Yep, that's sad.
Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna be right. But the good
Speaker 1: news is someone by default has to get the most
Speaker 1: right in three of us at show me Hawk with
Speaker 1: a couple questions here, and I swear I did not
Speaker 1: see this question before I read this er, because you've
Speaker 1: also been more optimistic, sir, what is Kansas's best path?
Speaker 1: Best path that winning the Big Twelph Tournament in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: With the way that the conference tournament is structured now,
Speaker 1: they would have to play at least one of Houston
Speaker 1: Arizona Tech, Iowa State, or BYU. Okay, so being the
Speaker 1: sixth seed, let's say are right now COVID, but it
Speaker 1: only impacts non Kansas teams as it stands right now,
Speaker 1: you want to be on the two seed side of
Speaker 1: the bracket because that means you ignore Houston until the finals.
Speaker 1: If they're the six, then you'd play eleven, which should
Speaker 1: be like Kansas State and I know they lost the
Speaker 1: sincy last year, but they're not doing that again. And
Speaker 1: then you beat Kansas State and then you play the
Speaker 1: three seed, which right now would be Texas Tech, and
Speaker 1: you feel okay about that because it's in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: Then if you win that, you're in line to play
Speaker 1: the two seed, which is not Houston, and that's all
Speaker 1: that matters. The six is better than the five for Kansas,
Speaker 1: and if they win two out of three, unless BYU
Speaker 1: loses two of three, I think Kansas is pretty safe
Speaker 1: as the sixth seed, which is good for their path,
Speaker 1: bad for those of you who dislike late games, because
Speaker 1: that is the last game every single day they would play.
Speaker 1: How that bracket works at AJ Stevenson says, is the
Speaker 1: new season thirty games because if KU gets hot, I'd
Speaker 1: certainly want Hunter, kJ and Harris to be able to
Speaker 1: play this full season. Oh, don't worry, they will. As
Speaker 1: speaking of biblical references, it is a journal that we
Speaker 1: will have to wan kJ and Hunter there whenever the
Speaker 1: lake of fire goes over the earth, and you hear
Speaker 1: the trumpets, and there lie there come kJ into one
Speaker 1: dribbling basketballs in their Crimson in Blue Jersey's ready to
Speaker 1: start against Colorado at ten pm on a Monday night
Speaker 1: at Todd Matt Tours. Will will coach self ever, consider
Speaker 1: playing four out, which is one of the three big guys.
Speaker 1: I hope it ain't happened this year. He ain't mentioned kJ,
Speaker 1: and kJ was good in the Colorado game.
Speaker 4: Yeah now this year. Maybe next year, Man, it won't happen.
Speaker 1: And in the final game, final question, here show me,
Speaker 1: Hawk says, I know we're all feeling malasized about kaized malays. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm not not great with English. Sometimes malays about KU's
Speaker 1: conference record. But if we didn't blow the Houston and
Speaker 1: Baylor games and not had a horrible first half versus
Speaker 1: West Virginia and take back the lead at any spare
Speaker 1: down the stretch at Utah, Kansas would be fourteen and three. Yes,
Speaker 1: that is you know what, I have a feeling. I
Speaker 1: know I know exactly what Cam is going to say here.
Speaker 1: I think at least I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 4: I mean, he's not wrong, but they did do those
Speaker 4: things they did.
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna say, and if your aunt
Speaker 1: had a yeah, your uncle, that's a good way to
Speaker 1: put it. Like I'll give you the Houston one. I'll
Speaker 1: give you the Houston game. If they didn't blow the
Speaker 1: Houston game, that was one that was legitimately a win
Speaker 1: and a preposterous turn of events outside of Kansas and Houston,
Speaker 1: skill level took over and they lost everything else. They
Speaker 1: shot themselves right in the foot, and I do think
Speaker 1: they should be a game better than they are, but
Speaker 1: they are. You are what your record says. At a
Speaker 1: certain point, I think.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Bill Cosby didn't drug people and do
Speaker 4: things to them, you wouldn't be a criminal.
Speaker 2: But here we are.
Speaker 1: There you go. That's about what I thought. What's gonna
Speaker 1: say if you ever have ASCAR zvs, you know, don't
Speaker 1: get us started. Okay, I don't think that one was alleged.
Speaker 1: I think of all the things I'm not allegedly, I
Speaker 1: think slipping some bills and people's drinks. I don't think
Speaker 1: it was alleged by any stretch. Well he's dead now,
Speaker 1: and Le'Veon Bell got on Twitter, yes, because Le'Veon Bell
Speaker 1: got on Twitter and said, man, I don't care about
Speaker 1: that stuff that he or was it OJ? Was it OJ?
Speaker 1: That he said off the field stuff that boy could ball?
Speaker 1: And everyone was like, oh, yeah, I thought Bill Cosby
Speaker 1: died a lie.
Speaker 2: He's a live.
Speaker 3: Cosby's alive.
Speaker 1: What happened to Bill Cosby? Something happened.
Speaker 3: He's in Patan still, I think.
Speaker 2: I don't know he's he's eighty seven.
Speaker 1: He is eighty seven and still married.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy. I don't know he gets well.
Speaker 1: Speaking of crazy, this matchup number ten Texas Tech at
Speaker 1: Kansas Saturday, March first. You can hear that CBS jingle.
Speaker 1: You won't with this game. It's on ESPN, but still
Speaker 1: it's at one o'clock PM on what should be a
Speaker 1: sunny and decently warm day at Allen Field House. That
Speaker 1: reminds you that the tournament is coming.
Speaker 3: Grant mccaslin's Red Raiders are twenty one and seven overall.
Speaker 3: They are twelve and five in Big twelve play. They
Speaker 3: had a terrific season, six and two in league road games,
Speaker 3: including wins at Houston and BYU. However, after beginning of
Speaker 3: the season eighteen and four, they are three and three
Speaker 3: in their last six, and injuries have played a big
Speaker 3: factor in that.
Speaker 4: Texas text monster of a power forward is six foot
Speaker 4: nine JT. Tappan, who averages seventeen to nine and plays
Speaker 4: a little bit like college Kevin Durant with his ability
Speaker 4: to use his freakish athleticism everywhere.
Speaker 2: On the court.
Speaker 4: He's arguably the Big twelve's best player. Around the bucket,
Speaker 4: he makes almost sixty percent of his twos. He's paired
Speaker 4: with six foot eleven Federico Federico, who's from Finland and
Speaker 4: is He averages six and five well, shooting seventy three
Speaker 4: percent from the floor.
Speaker 1: As most rob biggs do from other countries. They cannot
Speaker 1: stay out of foul trouble, so he doesn't play a
Speaker 1: lot of minutes, but he is still a force when
Speaker 1: he's in the game. The back court of the Red
Speaker 1: Raiders is excellent, but they have a lot of injury
Speaker 1: problems right now. Wings Darien Williams and Chance McMillan both
Speaker 1: averaged fifteen points in five rebounds, but neither played versus Houston.
Speaker 1: Williams has been out for a couple of weeks now.
Speaker 1: McCaslin said today that neither have practiced this week and
Speaker 1: they must practice on Friday to play. He also said,
Speaker 1: I think that they're tired of watching will See. Even
Speaker 1: if they play, which you gotta expect him to, they've
Speaker 1: had almost a week off. It's it's it's fair to
Speaker 1: question if they'll be russ. This is a banged up
Speaker 1: basketball team right now. As far as how they are
Speaker 1: on the court, they're both studs. McMillan is a forty
Speaker 1: five percent three point shooter on a high volume. Williams
Speaker 1: was the guy who went twelve for twelve in the
Speaker 1: game and Lubbock with Kansas last year. Elijah Hawkins comes
Speaker 1: off the bench whenever those guys are healthy to add
Speaker 1: nine and seven assists. He's the point guard. I guess
Speaker 1: he's no, he starts. It's Christian Anderson that comes off
Speaker 1: the bench when they're not healthy. He's the three point specialist.
Speaker 1: He is a forty percent three point shooter on five
Speaker 1: attempts per game. We remember the days where Red Raiders
Speaker 1: were all about defense. Chris Beard, Tubby Smith, those guys
Speaker 1: had defense teams. McCaslin is an offensive minded coach. This
Speaker 1: is a very good offensive basketball team, both inside and
Speaker 1: outside the arc.
Speaker 3: The New Testament Hawks having to take on Christian Anderson
Speaker 3: in game number three, that's big time. We'll see which
Speaker 3: one prevails.
Speaker 1: Interesting.
Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, like you were just saying, Ryan, the year
Speaker 3: of Chris Beard's defense. First, grind out games, flop around
Speaker 3: your way to free throws. That's over Grant mccass and
Speaker 3: the Red Raiders. They've become an offensive juggernaut. They rank
Speaker 3: seventh overall in Ken Palm and their offense is top ten,
Speaker 3: though they play at one of the slowest paces in
Speaker 3: the conference, which means they're insanely efficient. They're an excellent
Speaker 3: three point shooting team at thirty eight percent. They attempt
Speaker 3: twenty six per game, which is quite a few more
Speaker 3: than Kansas. They're a great passing team that protects the
Speaker 3: ball well. They also do a very good job at
Speaker 3: not fouling, also a very good seventy seven percent at
Speaker 3: the free throw line. The weaknesses are drawing contact, taking
Speaker 3: the ball away from their opponents, especially in conference play.
Speaker 3: Two point defense which does bode well for the Jayhawks.
Speaker 3: They haven't been good in conference play at rebounding either,
Speaker 3: which also bodes well for the Jayhawks.
Speaker 1: You'd think that, but the last time we said that
Speaker 1: was BYU that does not have very good defensive numbers
Speaker 1: against seven footers, and well they didn't matter. Dickinson did
Speaker 1: play fine in that game, I guess statistically. But yeah,
Speaker 1: Texas Tech is they're they're like, they're just the complete
Speaker 1: opposite of what they used to be. It's interesting that
Speaker 1: for as efficient as this team is, and they play
Speaker 1: the fewest possessions per game of any team in the
Speaker 1: Big Twelve, and they're really really bad at getting the
Speaker 1: line like they like they take like fifteen free throws
Speaker 1: per game. It's weird. So whenever they don't get calls
Speaker 1: and their fans are bitching on Twitter at Allen Field
Speaker 1: House because the refs are giving Kansas a bunch of calls,
Speaker 1: there may be a little more validity to that than normal.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Uh, Kansas is way better than you think. Twenty
Speaker 4: six and four against Texas Tech since twenty ten all time,
Speaker 4: they are twenty two and one against the Red Raiders
Speaker 4: at Allen Field House, with the loss coming in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1: If you had asked me how though, yeah, I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, and I'm I think I did the map
Speaker 1: that Kansas is like eight and three in their last
Speaker 1: eleven in Lubbock with a negative point differential or something
Speaker 1: like that, because when they lose, they get their money's worth.
Speaker 1: But if you had asked me before we started recording,
Speaker 1: in the last fifteen years, Kansas has played Texas Tech
Speaker 1: thirty times, how many of they lost, I would have
Speaker 1: said over five for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I probably would have guessed seven.
Speaker 1: Yeah, something like that. And Tech used to be really
Speaker 1: really awful at times, but they've been legitimately pretty good
Speaker 1: to really good for the better part of the last
Speaker 1: decade and Kansas has still handled the most years. Very
Speaker 1: similar game to the COVID year when a ranked Texas
Speaker 1: Tech team came into Allenfield House to play a not
Speaker 1: ranked Kansas team and the Jayhawks won and that kind
Speaker 1: of set them up well to get back into a
Speaker 1: top four seed this year. The New Testament Jayhawks undefeated
Speaker 1: on the season so far. We'll play Texas Tech in
Speaker 1: a big matchup, the biggest of this three game season
Speaker 1: so far. What do you think happens, Cam.
Speaker 3: I want you to go first.
Speaker 4: Oh boyd, I'm gonna pick Kansas. I think Kansas wins
Speaker 4: seventy five to seventy one in a very close game.
Speaker 3: You want me to ask you you want to pick
Speaker 3: after me? Ryan?
Speaker 1: Look, I think this is the tougher game. If I'm
Speaker 1: asked to pick, which matchup scares me more? Between Tech
Speaker 1: and Arizona the two remaining home games, I think it's
Speaker 1: this one. And I actually kind of liked the sneaky
Speaker 1: angle of picking Tech. Who is po They've been great
Speaker 1: on the road, But I can't for two reasons, and
Speaker 1: one is Allen field House Kansas. It's so I have
Speaker 1: never picked them to lose at Allen field House, and
Speaker 1: I won't. I don't think I ever will as long
Speaker 1: as Bill self is the coach. Barring the just a
Speaker 1: horrendous season, they just don't lose these games. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be one of those games where the field house is
Speaker 1: electric and Tech is banged up. I don't trust a
Speaker 1: team that I don't know if their second or third
Speaker 1: leading scorers are gonna play. If they do, how effective
Speaker 1: they'll be. I think Kansas wins. I think they pull
Speaker 1: away down the stretch. I think they put up a
Speaker 1: good amount of points. Texas Tech games have been pretty
Speaker 1: high scoring this year. I will say Kansas wins eighty
Speaker 1: one to seventy three, pulling away down the stretch for
Speaker 1: their best victory of conference play.
Speaker 3: The reason I'm struggling with this, even though I agree
Speaker 3: with every ounce of logic you just put out there, Ryan,
Speaker 3: is that this effectively feels like I am picking the
Speaker 3: trajectory of Kansas's season.
Speaker 2: Like you are.
Speaker 1: You do I buy it also, Texas Tech. Here here's
Speaker 1: how I do like this matchup a little more than
Speaker 1: I did before I dove into the numbers, because I
Speaker 1: think tech strengths line up pretty well with Kansas's defensive strengths.
Speaker 1: They're a good three point shooting team. Kansas has been
Speaker 1: pretty good on that end. Tech forces a lot of turnovers.
Speaker 1: Kansas is pretty good at not turning the ball over.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. JT. Toppin is the X factor.
Speaker 1: Kansas has been a horrendous at pick and roll defense
Speaker 1: this year, and that's what JT. Toppin does. He goes
Speaker 1: downhill and slams at home on people. kJ is the
Speaker 1: most important part of this game for Kansas. They need
Speaker 1: him to play well for them to.
Speaker 3: Win, particularly on the defensive end.
Speaker 1: Used to be on the defensive end.
Speaker 3: Going to buy it. I'm gonna take Kansas. I don't
Speaker 3: even know if I really believe myself, but I'm gonna
Speaker 3: take them. I guess seventy five seventy three.
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a good game. I think that
Speaker 1: these are two very good, very good coaches. I think
Speaker 1: that these are two interesting styles to see clash. Teck
Speaker 1: Tech has.
Speaker 3: Always better team. Texas Tech is a better basketball team
Speaker 3: than Kansas.
Speaker 1: They are at least you have to say that based
Speaker 1: on their results this year. They have executed and also
Speaker 1: something to watch. Tech has executed a lot better at
Speaker 1: the end of close games than Kansas has.
Speaker 3: They have sometimes sometimes Allen field House is just a
Speaker 3: weird X factor.
Speaker 1: That's all. If this game was played just about anywhere
Speaker 1: about Allen field House, it'd be a lot tougher. But
Speaker 1: I'm not picking them to lose an Allen It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: You have a twenty two year sample size where if
Speaker 1: you pick Kansas at home, you don't even pay attention
Speaker 1: to who they play. You don't pay attention to who
Speaker 1: they have on their roster or anything, you'd have a
Speaker 1: ninety five percent chance of getting the game right.
Speaker 3: It's true, It's true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1: You know what bill selves record is when they play
Speaker 1: a top ten team that is higher ranked than they
Speaker 1: are at Allen Field.
Speaker 3: House, have they lost?
Speaker 1: They are twenty two and two. The Houston game early
Speaker 1: this year, yeah, was one of the two losses. But
Speaker 1: like they have a freaking ninety two percent win chance
Speaker 1: whenever they bring in a top ten team in here,
Speaker 1: who's as a winning who's a better rugger than they do?
Speaker 1: Like that's yeah, I'll take Kansas, and if they lose,
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna sit here and say, oh I lost
Speaker 1: the picking point because Kansas lost at home, Like you
Speaker 1: just kind of live with that. And I do think
Speaker 1: they genuinely win the game. Other games U see if
Speaker 1: at TCU looks to me like the horn Frogs and
Speaker 1: need a win, he gets a five hundred. And that's
Speaker 1: what Jamie does best. I'll take them, yep, same same
Speaker 1: Cincinnati at number four, Houston. The Kogs not by as
Speaker 1: big of a margin as you think, but they wrap
Speaker 1: up an outright title.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1: And then maybe they'll set their starters maybe LJ. Cryer
Speaker 1: needs to take a day off the rest of his
Speaker 1: forty five year old knees when the Jayhawks come to
Speaker 1: town on Monday night. Arizona State at Utah. This field
Speaker 1: matchup wise, it's easy enough, but Utah is kind of
Speaker 1: a mess. They fired their coach. I'll still pick them, But.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna go Arizona State.
Speaker 1: You just can't quit the forks up.
Speaker 3: Nope, I won't.
Speaker 4: I sure give me Utah, I don't.
Speaker 2: This game means nothing to me.
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State at Baylor. Give me the Bears clinging to
Speaker 1: tournament hopes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Baylor by fifteen.
Speaker 2: I would say Baylor by ten.
Speaker 1: Fascinating matchup here, Number twenty two Arizona at number nine
Speaker 1: Iowa State. The reeling Cyclones host a second place Wildcats team.
Speaker 1: Do they get off the schneid?
Speaker 3: I think they do.
Speaker 2: I agree I do too.
Speaker 1: They shouldn't have lost the game in Tucson. I don't
Speaker 1: know who's gonna play, but I think Arizona's a little
Speaker 1: over hyped right now. I think the Cyclones win, and
Speaker 1: I think they win by more than we're expecting. If
Speaker 1: I'm betting a game without no one, what the line is.
Speaker 1: I would be comfortable betting on Iowa State to cover
Speaker 1: whatever the spread is. I think they fight back. West
Speaker 1: Virginia at number twenty five BYU Cougars. I guess that
Speaker 1: for them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, by you buy a good bunch.
Speaker 1: And here's an interesting one. Colorado at Kansas State. So
Speaker 1: he said on the last show that Kansas State was
Speaker 1: probably gonna beat Arizona State Land and they did not.
Speaker 1: Then they lost to friggin who they just lose. Just
Speaker 1: recapt the game they lost at UCF. Do you trust
Speaker 1: them to get this?
Speaker 3: I don't trust them. I am gonna pick them against
Speaker 3: two and sixteen Colorado.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they may have.
Speaker 2: I agree case State.
Speaker 1: Other games. Number one Auburn at number seventeen, Kentucky. You
Speaker 1: guys going with the top ranked Tigers here?
Speaker 4: I am, Yeah, I am Kentucky.
Speaker 1: I'll take the I will take the Wildcats at home.
Speaker 1: Tigers can't win them all, same logic at Ballan field House,
Speaker 1: they usually win it rough. I'll go for it. Number
Speaker 1: six Alabama at number five Tennessee. Bama has lost more
Speaker 1: than I think they are worthy of losing recently. I
Speaker 1: think they win on the road.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tennessee cannot keep up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Obama number thirteen, clems in trying to hang in
Speaker 1: second place. They go on the road and play Virginia.
Speaker 1: Do they get it done?
Speaker 3: They do?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 1: Yeah, never Virginia Number twelve, Texas A and M at
Speaker 1: number three Florida. We probably all want the Gators here,
Speaker 1: but it's a top fifteen matchup, so it goes on
Speaker 1: the pick'em card.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and both teams trying to bounce back.
Speaker 4: But I will take the Gators, yep, Gators.
Speaker 1: Number fourteen Missouri at Vanderbilt. How safe are the Tigers
Speaker 1: not Vandy wins?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Not not save.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Tigers on the road. I
Speaker 1: think I've been the best of the three of us
Speaker 1: picking Missouri games this year, and I think that they've
Speaker 1: actually lost a few more.
Speaker 2: Than Wait, who are they playing? I poinked out.
Speaker 1: They are at Vanderbilt.
Speaker 2: Uh nah, give me Vandy, screw it.
Speaker 1: Gonzaga fighting for their NCAA lives on the road at
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Do the Zags get a much needed win?
Speaker 1: I will say they do.
Speaker 3: Ah, gimme San Francisco.
Speaker 1: Zags number eleven, Wisconsin at number eight, Michigan State maybe
Speaker 1: a big ten clincher for the Spartans. They keep winning
Speaker 1: all these games. I'd love to pick against them, and
Speaker 1: I think I would if it was anybody but Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: but I don't trust the Badgers. Gimmezzoh Michigan State by
Speaker 1: a decent amount.
Speaker 2: Yep, Michigan State.
Speaker 1: All right, So our next show, I guess we gotta
Speaker 1: record Sunday because there's a big Monday game in Hughes.
Speaker 1: Then with Fran for Schilla, so oh yay, we'll be
Speaker 1: ready to talk about the three wins in a row. Jayhawks,
Speaker 1: no doubt?
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, why not? Maybe Testament Hawks.
Speaker 1: And this is eight shows in a row for you,
Speaker 1: land and one of your and that might be your
Speaker 1: longest streak since since Udoka was here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, with with no girl and no current
Speaker 3: job in my life, what else am I gonna do?
Speaker 1: Landon's arc Landon's arc on This show is the same
Speaker 1: every year, and every January Landon text me is like
Speaker 1: I might do less ips going forth, just to let
Speaker 1: you know I got a couple of things, and then
Speaker 1: by late March it's like, wow, twenty twenty six, class
Speaker 1: looks great.
Speaker 2: This is gonna be fun.
Speaker 3: Darren Peterson is making me come back increasingly likely by
Speaker 3: the day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's good.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun. He's gonna be fun.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 2: This is i TP.
Speaker 3: I'm a Landfred I'm Landing Fields single.
Speaker 4: If you I'm your favorite biblical character.
Speaker 2: Jesus, I can't say that.
Speaker 1: That's terrible.
Speaker 2: I did not mean that.
Speaker 4: That's not what I mean, non Jesus of Nazareth character.
Speaker 1: I would let this record go on a lot longer
Speaker 1: if I could.
Speaker 3: I'm glad you know that. Cam.
Speaker 2: Yep, you're welcome. I don't trust me. I know that's
Speaker 2: any boy. Oh bye,
