Speaker 1: A Senior Day victory for the Kansas Jayhawks. But oh,
Speaker 1: we'll get to that. There's plenty of things first. So Cam,
Speaker 1: do you want to go first? Do you want to
Speaker 1: do you want to tell the people? Uh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, go for it. Have you guys ever had
Speaker 2: a like a poop that ruined an entire week on
Speaker 2: a Sunday evening, like the week just started? Is that
Speaker 2: just me? Because I did, and I'm I'm not happy.
Speaker 1: Right now, Cam is fresh out of the shower after
Speaker 1: a twenty minute incident. I had to show it.
Speaker 3: I don't even know, so so safely say that I
Speaker 3: have never had had a trip to the bathroom so
Speaker 3: bad I felt the need to shower.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like yeah.
Speaker 2: The saddest thing ever is I just moved in with
Speaker 2: my girlfriend and she doesn't have strong plumbing here at
Speaker 2: least That's what I've come to realize because I've had issues,
Speaker 2: like I've gone to war, like we we have a
Speaker 2: plunger in the bathroom and I've put that thing through
Speaker 2: more than Vietnam tunnel rat and like two times two
Speaker 2: months of total visits here and the first time I'm
Speaker 2: here Yeah yeah, yeah, So I don't know, it's not
Speaker 2: a great start.
Speaker 1: What a sequence. Well, so I am in the Shreveport,
Speaker 1: Louisiana Margueriteaville Tower right now, which is boy, let me
Speaker 1: tell you.
Speaker 3: Start to the show. WI right, I'm sitting in my
Speaker 3: room like a normal person. So we are.
Speaker 1: We were a little road trip halfway through the South.
Speaker 1: That's been the case since episode one.
Speaker 2: Camp.
Speaker 1: I know, we we're on a little road trip through
Speaker 1: through some of the southern states. It's you know, mid
Speaker 1: March ish about at this point, so it's supposed to be.
Speaker 1: We're in Louisiana and it's forty three degrees right now.
Speaker 1: So much for paradise, am I right? Jimmy Buffett because
Speaker 1: this blows. Hopefully it'll be a little bit better coming up.
Speaker 1: So this podcast is being recorded late at night with
Speaker 1: I don't know how thin walls and me pushing this
Speaker 1: because Cam is telling stories about the shower and everything,
Speaker 1: so who knows how this is gonna go. My wife
Speaker 1: listened to Inside the Paint, by the way, the first
Speaker 1: time she's listened in a couple of years, because I said,
Speaker 1: you gotta hear the three beers deep Cam episode and awesome.
Speaker 1: And also we had to drive like four hours from
Speaker 1: Dallas to Louisiana today and she laughed pretty hard in
Speaker 1: the first ten minutes and was asleep by the time
Speaker 1: we got to Big twelve games.
Speaker 3: I think that's how most left in the car.
Speaker 1: Slept in the car. First time I've ever seen her
Speaker 1: in fifteen years knowing her fall asleep in the car,
Speaker 1: and it was during the Inside the Paint podcast.
Speaker 3: What else?
Speaker 1: What else would put you to sleep? Well?
Speaker 2: Watching Kansas lose in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 2: Question Mark, Hey, that's true, you might be sleeping soon.
Speaker 3: How many candles does your girlfriend have? Dude, we have
Speaker 3: sounds like a ten candle poop.
Speaker 2: Well, in the scope of poops, man, it was probably
Speaker 2: a four and a half. We have, like we have
Speaker 2: a nuclear stock pile of candles going here. As a
Speaker 2: matter of fact, before I left Chicago, I tried to
Speaker 2: burn out all of my candles. But I also said,
Speaker 2: I didn't even tell you guys. I also set off
Speaker 2: for smoke detector tonight too, So I'm I'm really struggling.
Speaker 2: But it's only up from here.
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, it's only the first night too, and it's
Speaker 1: like ten thirty at night. We're just beginning the show
Speaker 1: and you work at six o'clock tomorrow? Is that what
Speaker 1: we're doing?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I don't. I don't have to
Speaker 2: get up at six. I'll be up at like seven
Speaker 2: thirty eight. I'll be fine.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: That's very late for CAM, and you're gonna need it
Speaker 1: because have you seen the Big twelve tournament brackets start.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be playing late night games, at least one
Speaker 1: of them this week. Landing anything, anything, just put together
Speaker 1: what Camp said what he couldn't say in the gas
Speaker 1: station earlier. So we just got a CAM sent us
Speaker 1: both at texts and it just said I said we're
Speaker 1: gonna have to get a plan together for the Big
Speaker 1: twelve Tournament shows because they're gonna start really late. And
Speaker 1: Cam's back in the Eastern time zone, and the response says,
Speaker 1: I may have to and then it stops, and Landa
Speaker 1: and I are both just like, what what do you
Speaker 1: think you meant to say?
Speaker 2: There?
Speaker 1: Then joy minutes later we get a text that says,
Speaker 1: I may have to start a cocaine habit. Sorry I
Speaker 1: couldn't finish it in the gas station.
Speaker 4: I was using text to speech and realize I had
Speaker 4: to stop before you shout into your Apple watch in
Speaker 4: at seven eleven in Detroit that you need to begin
Speaker 4: a cocaine habit.
Speaker 1: I feel like there would have been several people there.
Speaker 1: There would have been several people there that could have
Speaker 1: helped you begin that quickly.
Speaker 2: Yep, pure Michigan.
Speaker 1: Landon anything interesting going on, at least as interesting as
Speaker 1: cam story or as interesting as recording in a Shreveport Margueritaville.
Speaker 3: Not even not even close, not even remotely close. No,
Speaker 3: I'm sitting in my room as normal as ever recording
Speaker 3: this show. I have not just moved. I have not
Speaker 3: taken a ten candlepoop. I had not stepped near Jimmy
Speaker 3: Buffett's Margueritaville, the Rainforest Cafe for for the Eddie Burback
Speaker 3: fans out there.
Speaker 1: So no, I have a normal night, been to both
Speaker 1: in the last twenty four hours, and none of that
Speaker 1: is like, that's a total coincidence, not an Eddie Burback reference.
Speaker 1: Just I've been to a rainforest cafe and now Marguerite
Speaker 1: Deville in twenty four hours. And between the sandwiched in
Speaker 1: between those experiences was Kansas winning on Senior Day. So
Speaker 1: I am having a bonanza of a time we're gonna
Speaker 1: recap that and go through the Big twelve Tournament. It's
Speaker 1: Big Twelve Tournament week. Normally we do our Big Twelve Awards.
Speaker 1: Depends on how we're doing on time. That may be
Speaker 1: fill in some space in one of our Big twelve
Speaker 1: Tournament recap shows coming up, So we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 1: This is ITP And I'm.
Speaker 2: Ryan Landrith, I'm Lenden Fields, and I've talked myself into
Speaker 2: Kansas winning the Big twelve Tournament.
Speaker 5: No, oh no, you haven't, Cam, Please tell me there's
Speaker 5: not a what Ryan, I know you're doing a character
Speaker 5: for the show, but you put in our chat in
Speaker 5: day twelve hours ago that you also thought Kansas is
Speaker 5: winning the Big twelve Tournament.
Speaker 1: I did I say win it? I think I said
Speaker 1: getting to the championship.
Speaker 3: EV. I think you said, Oh, that's so much different
Speaker 3: my bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, It's like I feel like that's a pretty big
Speaker 1: step because included in there as beating presumably Houston who
Speaker 1: that's a big like throwing the DraftKings odds that makes
Speaker 1: them multiply quite a bit. Cam, do you know Kansas's
Speaker 1: odds to win the Big twelve Tournament on DraftKings allegedly.
Speaker 2: Yes, I believe it is plus it's it's one of
Speaker 2: two numbers. It's like plus eleven hundred or it's plus
Speaker 2: six fifty. I can't remember which. I think it's plus
Speaker 2: eleven hundred.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Houston is the favorite at minus one thirty,
Speaker 1: so they're better than one to one to win. Texas
Speaker 1: Tech is plus four hundred, Arizona State and Iowa State
Speaker 1: or plus eight hundred by US plus one thousand, and
Speaker 1: then Kansas is plus twelve hundred, which they have to
Speaker 1: play an extra game against all those teams except for
Speaker 1: Iowa State, so it is a little bit. And then
Speaker 1: after that they fall like a brick land in your
Speaker 1: Arizona State eight preseason Big twelve sleeper team one dollar
Speaker 1: on Arizona State. I believe would win three hundred to
Speaker 1: win this, to win this tournament. Interested in this most No,
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 3: I'm not. I can do any way more useful things
Speaker 3: with a dollar.
Speaker 2: Send that money.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, here's the airhorn, just say thank you. Can't okay,
Speaker 6: here's another air horn.
Speaker 1: Kansas eighty three, number twenty four, Arizona seventy six. We
Speaker 1: thought at the beginning of the year that Kansas vi
Speaker 1: Arizona could wind up being a very important basketball game
Speaker 1: in the Big twelve race. It didn't unless you are
Speaker 1: like me and like seeing the Jayhawks play late night
Speaker 1: Big Twelve Tournament games because I upped them to the
Speaker 1: sixth seed where they can't just in dime for Cam
Speaker 1: to move back to East time, where every game they
Speaker 1: play this week at least one guaranteed game, and then
Speaker 1: every addition to one that they would play should they
Speaker 1: win the preceding game they will be playing at eight
Speaker 1: thirty PM. In this game, Kansas played pretty well Landon.
Speaker 1: I know that you and I are going to argue
Speaker 1: a little bit on how confident we're feeling in this team.
Speaker 1: I am more gollible than you are, so I'm sure
Speaker 1: that you'll bring us back to earth a little bit.
Speaker 1: But why don't you go ahead and tell us what happened? Then,
Speaker 1: when Cam and I talk, try to talk you into
Speaker 1: them winning eight games the rest of the season. You
Speaker 1: can you can talk us down a little bit.
Speaker 3: Hey deal, Let's do it. Kansas did play well in
Speaker 3: this game for the most part. They wrote a strong
Speaker 3: first half finish to a nine point halftime lead, but
Speaker 3: Arizona's offense did not need much time after the break
Speaker 3: to catch up. The Wildcats scored thirty eight points in
Speaker 3: the first fourteen minutes of the second half. They took
Speaker 3: a sixty eight sixty six lead with six minutes to go.
Speaker 3: From there, Dewan Harris played Maestro Hunter Dickinson and Zeke
Speaker 3: Mayo where the beneficiaries and Ku finished off the regular
Speaker 3: season with a seventeen to eight run to get a
Speaker 3: Senior Day win led by all of the thirty year
Speaker 3: olds that play on this team.
Speaker 1: All right, Cam, I'm gonna preach you. I'm going to
Speaker 1: preach to you two different perspectives. You tell me which
Speaker 1: camp you find yourself more likely to be in now
Speaker 1: that you've had your apartment cleanup process successful Number one.
Speaker 1: The Jayhawks in their last five games are recognized as
Speaker 1: one of the ten best teams on Bartrovic. They are
Speaker 1: three and two. The two losses a six point loss
Speaker 1: to Houston undisputedly one of the three best teams in
Speaker 1: college basketball, the other one a home loss to Texas
Speaker 1: Tech by the slimmest of margins that if they played again,
Speaker 1: they would probably be favored in the same setting. The
Speaker 1: Jayhawks are playing better. The metrics show it. They got
Speaker 1: a favorable draw in the Big twelve tournament, and they
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to move back up to that five
Speaker 1: to six line should this week go well, the draw
Speaker 1: being the being an important factor aside. Things could be
Speaker 1: going more promising for Kansas or can't be. The Jayhawks
Speaker 1: still have lost forty percent of their games in this
Speaker 1: new season. They managed to get one over Arizona at
Speaker 1: home after blowing yet another four teen point lead before
Speaker 1: finishing strong. But overall, you're looking at a win over
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State Colorado and now you do beat the top
Speaker 1: twenty five team. Still one and two against ranked teams
Speaker 1: in in the last five games, and overall, not a
Speaker 1: whole lot changing. They're still gonna get run out by
Speaker 1: the first good team they play in Kansas City. Which
Speaker 1: camp do you find yourself more in after the regular
Speaker 1: season is now complete?
Speaker 2: I want to say more in the first camp of
Speaker 2: it's I mean, they're playing better, However, I still feel
Speaker 2: like this team hasn't shown that they can really handle adversity,
Speaker 2: especially on one in neutral court, except obviously Duke that
Speaker 2: was in what November. They're playing better, I'm just not
Speaker 2: overly optimistic that they can win three four games in
Speaker 2: a row, especially on neutral floors. But again, Bartovic, they're
Speaker 2: in the top ten for the last well the New Testament. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean I'm somewhat optimistic. I think they make a
Speaker 2: run in the Big twelve tournament. I also think they
Speaker 2: probably make it to semi finals at least in the
Speaker 2: Big twelve tournament. That's my I'm taking that shot right now.
Speaker 1: Okay, So Landon, I would say that definitely means that
Speaker 1: Cam is more in the first camp. Statistically, bel self,
Speaker 1: Bill Seals claim that they are playing better, that they're
Speaker 1: playing some of their best ball of the year. There
Speaker 1: are some statistics that back that up. And I think
Speaker 1: that we're sitting here if they had beat Texas Tech
Speaker 1: and they had finished, what would that be with That
Speaker 1: would be twelve and eight, which would not be an
Speaker 1: impressive record considering the preseason expectations, but that would be
Speaker 1: four and one in the New Testament era, with the
Speaker 1: only loss being a road game at Houston. I think
Speaker 1: we're feeling much better. To me, that Texas Tech game
Speaker 1: is really the only one in the last five that
Speaker 1: didn't go the way that I thought it would, and
Speaker 1: it was one that they had in their pocket that
Speaker 1: they just couldn't get done. They very well, maybe just
Speaker 1: a few days away from getting another shot in another
Speaker 1: favorable home court setting against Texas Tech from being able
Speaker 1: to avenge that. But I think that Tech game is
Speaker 1: the one that I want to be all in. I
Speaker 1: want to believe. I want to say that they're the
Speaker 1: team like Arkansas two years ago, that underachieved in the
Speaker 1: regular season and then got hot and ruined somebody else's
Speaker 1: selection Sunday with that draw, the Texas set game is
Speaker 1: the only thing that's holding me back from being able
Speaker 1: to go all in on that take. Is that fair?
Speaker 3: I think so. I also do think they're playing better.
Speaker 3: I agree with that take completely. I think they are
Speaker 3: playing better, even with losses to Tech and Houston that
Speaker 3: have happened. I do think they are playing a much
Speaker 3: more coherent style in the last few games. I think
Speaker 3: kJ Adams has played some of his best basketball of
Speaker 3: his career in the last few games. I think all
Speaker 3: that's true. I still think you look at this stretch
Speaker 3: and you don't see a lot different that truly like
Speaker 3: contradicts or up ends what you saw in the rest
Speaker 3: of the regular season. Obviously there was no BYU winning.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's gonna happen again. I think people
Speaker 3: are gonna maybe anticipate Kansas is gonna get like blown
Speaker 3: out by people. I don't think they're gonna get blown out. Really.
Speaker 3: They've taken some bad losses in a lot of them
Speaker 3: last several seasons, not just in the last two, so
Speaker 3: I'm definitely still in the much more cautious camp. I
Speaker 3: do think that this is a team. Maybe I wouldn't
Speaker 3: have a lot of I wouldn't bet on it, but
Speaker 3: I think they absolutely will have the ability. If they
Speaker 3: are a six or seven, you know, I think they
Speaker 3: could win their way up to a five if they're
Speaker 3: somewhere in there. I think absolutely they're a team that
Speaker 3: has the talent and has the upside to go on
Speaker 3: a run. Again, I don't think I would bet on that,
Speaker 3: but I think if you're looking for positives, they absolutely
Speaker 3: have the guys to go on a run and ruin
Speaker 3: someone else's season. I think that'd be a lot of
Speaker 3: fun if they can do it. But again, I'm not
Speaker 3: overwhelmingly confident. I would still bet them to win no
Speaker 3: more than two games in Kansas City this upcoming week.
Speaker 1: All right, then the Big Twelve tournament previous argument will
Speaker 1: be quite interesting. We'll break down the game and talk
Speaker 1: about the stats. But first the simple question to lead
Speaker 1: off the red uniforms on Senior Day?
Speaker 2: Are you a fan and massive fan? I didn't like
Speaker 2: these ones?
Speaker 1: Correct, that's the take I was looking for. I didn't
Speaker 1: like the Black History Month throwbacks. I think they look
Speaker 1: a lot better in blue and white than they do
Speaker 1: in red. I would have liked to have seen the
Speaker 1: Circus uniforms as red. Did they wear those last year
Speaker 1: against Case State? Were they the Circus or were they
Speaker 1: just the the trade Jans?
Speaker 3: I don't remember.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the best look. I agree. I'm glad
Speaker 1: that they do that. They just win every time that
Speaker 1: they were because they win every Senior Day. Cam tell
Speaker 1: me about all the streaks, can't This team has lost
Speaker 1: a lot of streaks this year. The Big Twelve opener
Speaker 1: streak is gone. The back to back seasons without winning
Speaker 1: a Big Twelve title in Bill Self's tenure is gone,
Speaker 1: and very very very likely pending a stunning rise here
Speaker 1: in this week. Bill Selfs streak of being at least
Speaker 1: the four seed in every tournament is gone, but they
Speaker 1: did keep a handful alive. Uh, and they had to
Speaker 1: win on Saturday? Are they these were all going up
Speaker 1: in flames? Yeah, a lot of streaks did stay a
Speaker 1: this game. That's forty two straight years that Kansas has
Speaker 1: won their final home game of the season. It's also
Speaker 1: thirty six straight twenty win seasons. Kansas has still had
Speaker 1: a winning record in every season of Big Twelve play.
Speaker 1: They also avoided losing four home games in a season
Speaker 1: for the first time since nineteen eighty nine. Ironically, my
Speaker 1: dad was at My dad told me he was at
Speaker 1: that game the last Senior Day that they lost, really,
Speaker 1: which would have been in what nineteen eighty three? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that was the last year of the Owens era,
Speaker 1: wasn't it was it Owen for Larry Brown was there yet?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: No, I think Larry Brown was there. I could could
Speaker 2: be wrong in this one. I'm almost positive that the
Speaker 2: year KU won the title, they lost to Oklahoma on
Speaker 2: Senior Day and Oklahoma cut down the nets in Allen
Speaker 2: Field House, and then Kansas beat them in the title game.
Speaker 1: It was before that they beat they lost to him
Speaker 1: in Oklahoma and Oklahoma cut the nets there because Kansas
Speaker 1: last loss. Kansas's last Senior Day loss was the last
Speaker 1: game of Allen Field House at the of the Ted
Speaker 1: Owens era three coaches ago, forty plus years ago. Landon.
Speaker 1: Is that streak precedes Landon by seventeen years? Why is
Speaker 1: everyone on this podcast by many years absolutely crazy? Let's
Speaker 1: talk about Hunter Dickinson, who we really should give so clearly.
Speaker 1: Hunter Dickinson and kJ Adams, we said each of the
Speaker 1: last couple of shows, something happened on that Utah trip
Speaker 1: where they a light went off for them about how
Speaker 1: they needed to play. Maybe they changed something up, maybe
Speaker 1: they're just more motivated, or maybe they're just coincidentally playing better.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that one. I think something clicks
Speaker 1: because both of them have played so well and the
Speaker 1: awards will officially come out tomorrow. Hunter Dickinson will not
Speaker 1: win Big Twelve Player of the Year, but I could
Speaker 1: make a strong argument why he should win it. I
Speaker 1: think he's the most valuable player to his team in
Speaker 1: this conference. He saved his best game and a terrific
Speaker 1: season for the last Racegular season game, finishing with thirty
Speaker 1: three points fifteen of twenty three from the floor, all
Speaker 1: those numbers are season highs plus ten rebounds in thirty
Speaker 1: four minutes.
Speaker 3: He was a.
Speaker 1: Dominant beginning and a dominant end all of it, in
Speaker 1: between tying a career high in points and surpassing the
Speaker 1: thirty two he scored for his Kansas high just last week. Overall,
Speaker 1: really really remarkable game from him Dickinson. Since the Utah
Speaker 1: trip sixteen and eleven, thirty two and thirteen, eighteen and nine,
Speaker 1: seventeen and twelve, and now thirty three and ten, he
Speaker 1: has played like an All American and I believe he
Speaker 1: will be recognized as such.
Speaker 3: He was brilliant. He was absolutely brilliant in this game.
Speaker 3: Arizona really did not have an answer. I know he
Speaker 3: slowed down a little bit, a little bit in the
Speaker 3: middle of the second half, but he was fantastic. This
Speaker 3: is any and everything you could ever ask for from
Speaker 3: hundred Dickinson. There's no reason to complain about anything he
Speaker 3: did in this game because there's really barely anything to
Speaker 3: complain about. He was an absolute force of nature and
Speaker 3: he played up to everything you could want. There's really
Speaker 3: not much he could say. He was sensationial.
Speaker 1: I know that JT. Toppins more than likely gonna win
Speaker 1: Big Twelve Player of the Year. He's probably already won
Speaker 1: it by the time this podcast has been listened to,
Speaker 1: and statistically it's hard to argue the man averages seventeen
Speaker 1: to ten just like Hunter Dickinson does. But Dickinson, if
Speaker 1: you take him off of Kansas, I don't think they're
Speaker 1: a tournament team, and Texas Tech's got a lot better
Speaker 1: players around topp and honestly like they're both very worthy
Speaker 1: of the award. We saw them post similar numbers at
Speaker 1: Allen field House, and they both are so good that
Speaker 1: in that game they took advantage of the other's weakness.
Speaker 1: Dickinson could not defend Toppen on the first half, and
Speaker 1: in the second half, Dickinson fouled Topping.
Speaker 2: Out of the game.
Speaker 1: Like they are one and two in my book, and
Speaker 1: the most valuable players in the Big Twelve. Let the
Speaker 1: tiebreaker determine be determined by the fact that one guy
Speaker 1: finished second and one guy finished sixth in the league.
Speaker 1: That's fine, but Cam, if you're arguing career value, I
Speaker 1: don't think that there are many players in the country
Speaker 1: that are more valuable to their team than Dickinson is.
Speaker 2: The Kansas no, I mean, if he's not on this team,
Speaker 2: they're not in the NCAA tournament. And also we would
Speaker 2: be we'd be relying on watching kJ Adams and a
Speaker 2: very young Florida Badunga playing the bulk of the minutes
Speaker 2: and Zach Clemens if he were still alive.
Speaker 1: So Dickinson averaging seventeen and a half points, ten and
Speaker 1: a half rebounds, couple of blocks, shooting almost fifty five
Speaker 1: percent from the floor in sixty four career games as
Speaker 1: a Jayhawk. I know that people aren't thrilled at how
Speaker 1: the team hasn't won the volume of games that people
Speaker 1: thought that they would whenever he committed to Kansas. And
Speaker 1: I know that people won't remember Dickinson as fondly as
Speaker 1: I believe that they should. But can we can the
Speaker 1: last few games officially put that crazy narrative to bed
Speaker 1: that that Kansas is losing is not because of Hunter Dickinson,
Speaker 1: it's mostly in spite of him. Yeah, definitely, mostly, I'll
Speaker 1: take mostly. I'll take mostly. Compared to what I've seen
Speaker 1: on Twitter a lot cam tell me about kJ, I
Speaker 1: feel like that this is one that in the last
Speaker 1: few games we've we've definitely seen a different kJ Adams.
Speaker 2: Yeah. kJ Adams began the game with an alley oop
Speaker 2: slam and the final basket of the night, the dagger
Speaker 2: for Kansas was an alley oop slam as well. He
Speaker 2: had ten first half points before being held scoreless until
Speaker 2: that final bucket after halftime, finishing with twelve points, eight boards,
Speaker 2: three assists on six for nine shooting in thirty two minutes.
Speaker 2: He was very good, as he has been since the
Speaker 2: Utah Trip of Death.
Speaker 1: Yeah, camp all right, Landon you want stats on that? Well,
Speaker 1: kJ and his first through February eighteen, through the Utah
Speaker 1: trip that is I don't know how many games because
Speaker 1: he missed three, it's a bunch of games. His entire
Speaker 1: season until the through the Utah trip, kJ had scored
Speaker 1: twelve points five times this year. He's now done it
Speaker 1: in four straight games. So four of the nine times
Speaker 1: he scored all for more points have been the last
Speaker 1: four games. Fifteen against Colorado, twenty one and thirteen against Tech,
Speaker 1: fifteen against Houston, and then twelve and eight in this game.
Speaker 1: He's been a different player. And I have people on
Speaker 1: Twitter coming at me saying, well, you talked to crap
Speaker 1: on kJ all year. Yeah, this is a different guy.
Speaker 1: If this guy was playing power forward all year, they're
Speaker 1: probably a two seed.
Speaker 2: Right now.
Speaker 3: Because he's doing the things that we were saying he
Speaker 3: absolutely needed to do. He's scoring the ball and doing
Speaker 3: it pretty efficiently, and he's getting more rebounds than he
Speaker 3: normally does. He's been sensational. Really, he's been very, very good.
Speaker 3: He continues to do the little things, like we've talked
Speaker 3: about a lot brings energy, all that stuff, but he's
Speaker 3: actually doing those things and doing the big things. He's
Speaker 3: finding the basket. He's taken a lot less dumb shots,
Speaker 3: or maybe he's just gotten hot. I don't know, but
Speaker 3: it looks a lot better and a lot more of
Speaker 3: them than dunks. I think his first four makes and
Speaker 3: this were dunks, yep, which hey, you'll take. And that's
Speaker 3: that's what a guy like kh Adams is out there
Speaker 3: to do, is dunk the basketball. And the rebounding really
Speaker 3: can't be understated either, because that Ryan especially has been
Speaker 3: banging that drum for all the last two years. That
Speaker 3: kJ Adams has to rebound the ball and he's done
Speaker 3: that really really well. Yeah, And like we talked about
Speaker 3: in the last show as well, it seems like Dickinson
Speaker 3: and Adams since that Utah trip really did like they
Speaker 3: found some other year. They locked in, they found something,
Speaker 3: they made some packed with themselves. I don't know what
Speaker 3: it was, but it is like it is palpable, and
Speaker 3: I think a lot of that speaks to the level
Speaker 3: that Kansas has played at. I know there's been two
Speaker 3: losses in there, but they have played a lot better,
Speaker 3: and a lot of that is because Adams has played
Speaker 3: a lot better.
Speaker 1: I don't have a blurb about Frankfurscilla, who we have
Speaker 1: now had to listen to nine of the last fourteen
Speaker 1: times Kansas has played a basketball game, but I did
Speaker 1: just want to point out, did either of you hear
Speaker 1: the comment that he made about kJ Adams and who
Speaker 1: wasn't present on senior Day?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh bad dude, you heard it? Ud h Cam what
Speaker 1: did what did friend for?
Speaker 2: She'll say to be like, I can't say, I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna say verbatim, but it was something to the effect
Speaker 2: of like, yeah, kJ Adams, you know, notice the moms
Speaker 2: not here. She died last year, tragically, sad situation, but
Speaker 2: kJ Adams, it was something like it was kind of
Speaker 2: like that, I think, right like it was very old.
Speaker 1: It was, it was, but it was so much worse. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so Fran, because Fran's never seen a four second blip
Speaker 1: of silence go by without feeling the need of stuff
Speaker 1: it full with his nonsense. Fran said, uh, and and
Speaker 1: I know where he was coming from this, but wow,
Speaker 1: did it just come out wrong? Whenever he made it
Speaker 1: ask it, he just said, he said, Uh, it's kind
Speaker 1: of sad that his mom's not here, isn't it. It's like, well, Fran,
Speaker 1: it was. Let me tell you what kind of well,
Speaker 1: let me tell you what kind of sad would be?
Speaker 1: Kind of sad is having to listen to a pint
Speaker 1: sized dwarf ramble incoherent thoughts through nine of your four
Speaker 1: teen last fourteen favorite teams basketball games. I think that
Speaker 1: that truly heartbreaking or something like that is what I
Speaker 1: would use to describe a college kid's mom not being
Speaker 1: at his senior day because she died of cancer. But sure,
Speaker 1: roll with that kind of sad while you're stuff in
Speaker 1: your your silence between basketball facts, I'm helping, Like Cam
Speaker 1: seems like he'd be good at this. Can you plant
Speaker 1: something on Fran Fricilla? Can we get him arrested?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all alleged until they find me. And if
Speaker 2: they still find me, I'd still say it was allegedly.
Speaker 1: Let's get fran Friscilla thrown in jail. He can go
Speaker 1: with Brett Yormark, who's serving a five year sentence for
Speaker 1: designing the Big Twelve tournament court.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that thing's atrocious. People have actually had seizures from
Speaker 2: looking at that.
Speaker 1: It didn't bother me because Haley van Litt was playing
Speaker 1: on it, and I didn't notice what the court looked
Speaker 1: like this week, But I think I'm gonna notice it
Speaker 1: more next week.
Speaker 2: She's way too thin for you. You need like more
Speaker 2: of kind of like a a an army tank sized woman.
Speaker 3: I don't know if Ryan has done this just to
Speaker 3: counter the Ryan likes enormous women narrative that's been built
Speaker 3: over the last several shows, but Ryan's like evolution just
Speaker 3: being horny on Maine basketball players is really an underrated
Speaker 3: narrative from season twelve of i DP.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, I only haven't read it be so funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody, somebody needs to do this. There's only three
Speaker 1: examples Landon of that being true. There is Page Becker's,
Speaker 1: there is Hayley van Lett and there's Hunter Dickinson. Get
Speaker 1: off my case. Hey, Fair's fair Dewan Harris had nine
Speaker 1: points on four of nine from the floor, nine assists
Speaker 1: to one turnover in thirty six minutes. I was complaining
Speaker 1: to you guys over text that he needs to give
Speaker 1: them something, and he promptly scored seven of his nine
Speaker 1: points in the second half, making a rare case where
Speaker 1: I just sent that to two people instead of twenty
Speaker 1: two thousand Twitter followers before immediately being proven incorrect considering
Speaker 1: that David Quoite and aj Store combined to go oh
Speaker 1: for seven from the floor in nine minutes a piece. Kay,
Speaker 1: you didn't have any bench help in this game. They
Speaker 1: only got two bench points. They needed Harris to give
Speaker 1: them scoring and he did. He played very very well.
Speaker 1: Proof of what Kansas can be whenever they get about
Speaker 1: ten points from Harris and solid mistake free basketball. As
Speaker 1: a team, they only had three turnovers, won one game
Speaker 1: after the twenty piece at Houston, they looked a lot better.
Speaker 1: They played really well on offense, and it starts with Harris.
Speaker 1: I don't think either one of you two has a
Speaker 1: whole lot to analyze here. When Harris plays games like this,
Speaker 1: Kansas is probably gonna win. Like that's whenever he plays
Speaker 1: like this, they're gonna win eighty percent of their games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean when he disappears, they will lose. In
Speaker 2: the NCAA tournament. That's kind of kind of how the
Speaker 2: losses go.
Speaker 1: Harris giving them nine points, nine assists and one turnover
Speaker 1: and kJ giving them fifteen points or twelve points whatever.
Speaker 1: If kJ gets the twelve and Harris gets the double
Speaker 1: digits and a way more assistan than turnovers, Kansas is
Speaker 1: probably going to win.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you need both Alabama hangs one hundred and forty the.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: Defensively, they're a top five team on Ken Palm, but
Speaker 1: Alabama would probably still find a way to score.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And Kansas's reward for winning this game on ESPN's bracketology,
Speaker 1: I've seen him as a six on a lot of
Speaker 1: the websites now still think that they probably need at
Speaker 1: least one more win in Kansas City against a non
Speaker 1: UCF or Utah opponent to get to that six line.
Speaker 1: But their reward on ESPN was moving up to Alabama's
Speaker 1: seven seed, which that feels like I would have rather
Speaker 1: lost had I known that was gonna be what happens
Speaker 1: stay as an eight with somebody else.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would.
Speaker 3: Honestly be Tennessee's eight, or be Alabama seven Tennessee's eight
Speaker 3: by a lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Tennessee's not going to be a one.
Speaker 1: I don't think. I think Auburn, Duke Houston they seem
Speaker 1: very safe as ones, and I would think both Bama
Speaker 1: and Florida unless Tennessee wins the SEC tournament stand ahead
Speaker 1: of them. I would think. I don't know. I'm not
Speaker 1: a bracket guy. I know the SEC is gonna get
Speaker 1: one hundred teams in, including six and twelve. Porter Moser.
Speaker 3: Is Saint John's. I will talk about this more in
Speaker 3: other games. I guess Saint John's have any chance in
Speaker 3: a one seat. I know they're ranked six in the country.
Speaker 3: Another strength of schedules, much lower than Florida's in these teams,
Speaker 3: but I don't think.
Speaker 1: It is pretty It is pretty much. It's pretty split
Speaker 1: between Saint John's and Texas Tech as the last two
Speaker 1: and first three on a lot of bracket sites because everybody,
Speaker 1: everybody has four SEC teams in front of them. Alabama, Auburn,
Speaker 1: Tennessee and Florida all ahead of them. Houston's in front
Speaker 1: of them, and Duke's in front of them. So at
Speaker 1: the end some people have Michigan State in front of
Speaker 1: them too. So at the highest I think you have
Speaker 1: to have them as like seven. That's the best case
Speaker 1: scenario right now.
Speaker 3: Interesting, I guess, I mean obviously at their strength schedule.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that more later.
Speaker 1: They their offensive metrics aren't nearly as kind as some
Speaker 1: of the others, but they just win like I don't.
Speaker 1: At some point, metrics are just met They just win
Speaker 1: every game in front of.
Speaker 3: Them, four games by combining one, four, five, seven points.
Speaker 1: Yeah, whenever you play good defense, you're not going to
Speaker 1: get blown out and uh let and if you do,
Speaker 1: it's a fluky thing, which the tournament is a fluky
Speaker 1: fluky occurrence something not fluky. Landon as Zeke Mayo making
Speaker 1: threes at allen Field nowas his career at the Fog ends,
Speaker 1: just like it began, with him making a ton of
Speaker 1: threes and leaving the crowd in awe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, bro turns into lay Thompson and allen Field House.
Speaker 3: Nowhere else he turns into Charlie Moore. Everywhere else but
Speaker 3: in allen Field House. He's been brilliant. He had twenty points,
Speaker 3: He had six assists for rebounds. He made five of
Speaker 3: his seven three point attempts in thirty four minutes. He
Speaker 3: was once again, he was outstanding. There is a theme
Speaker 3: here that Kayu's best players played very well in this game.
Speaker 3: In twenty league games, Zake Zake, Zeke Mayo shot forty
Speaker 3: one percent from three. He finished fifty six for one
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty three and seventeen games in the field house.
Speaker 3: That is forty six percent at home. What would that
Speaker 3: make it on the road.
Speaker 1: Uh, it's not nearly as good. It's in the low thirties.
Speaker 1: But here are your Zeke Mayo's stats because I feel
Speaker 1: like that that you know, the turnovers and KU's season
Speaker 1: not going super well for their standards have really tainted
Speaker 1: what is truly if you look at it, one of
Speaker 1: the greatest shooting seasons in the history of Kansas basketball.
Speaker 1: Zeke Mayo in thirty one games has made forty percent
Speaker 1: of his threes, that is seventy five for one eighty seven,
Speaker 1: and conference play that number goes to forty one percent
Speaker 1: fifty one for one to twenty five. And as you said,
Speaker 1: Landon and Allen Field House fifty six for one to
Speaker 1: twenty three forty six percent. The guy has shot forty
Speaker 1: percent on almost seven threes per game for an entire
Speaker 1: season against the top ten in the country schedule. That
Speaker 1: is one of the greatest three point shooting seasons in
Speaker 1: the history of the school. That is what s Fiatoslav
Speaker 1: Makai Luke did. We obviously remember fees season as having
Speaker 1: a lot more impactful makes because he made the second
Speaker 1: biggest three in the history of Kansas in the tournament
Speaker 1: the Duke shot and several in NCAA tournament runs. We
Speaker 1: haven't seen Zekemeo do that yet, but this is one
Speaker 1: of the top ten, maybe top five three point shooting
Speaker 1: seasons ever at Kansas. Statistically, it is.
Speaker 3: It is especially at home. I mean, that's an unreal number,
Speaker 3: forty six percent that just does not happen in any arena.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've heard people say this before Landon,
Speaker 1: but it's really disappointing that they don't play the NCAA
Speaker 1: tournament at Allen Field House.
Speaker 6: It is.
Speaker 3: That is what I was telling my dad when we
Speaker 3: watched this game together on Saturday. I was like, well,
Speaker 3: it's really too bad. This is the last one, because
Speaker 3: this guy's gonna go a nice one for fourteen in
Speaker 3: the next several games.
Speaker 1: But like if okay, here's a question, and Bill selfs
Speaker 1: twenty two years, let's say that just in a weird scenario,
Speaker 1: we can play every NCAA tournament, like we can start
Speaker 1: the two thousand and four NCAA tournament again right now,
Speaker 1: when we do that with every single of the twenty
Speaker 1: one NCAA tournaments he's been a part of so far
Speaker 1: at Kansas, and every game is at Allen field House,
Speaker 1: every single game of the of the and the entire
Speaker 1: tournament is at Alan. How many does Kansas win? How
Speaker 1: many titles do they get twenty one?
Speaker 3: Cam?
Speaker 2: What do you think with Kansas fans and ascendance? Like normal, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's Kansas fans. They it's I think it's at
Speaker 2: least half. I'd say like seven, probably.
Speaker 1: Eight, yeah, because like they flirt with ten maybe more.
Speaker 1: That's probably it. It's probably about ten, because there's in
Speaker 1: those twenty one teams, there's about four or five that
Speaker 1: regardless of where the games are, we're inferior by a
Speaker 1: substantial margin to the teams that wound up winning. Like
Speaker 1: I want to say last year's team isn't beating Yukon
Speaker 1: out the fog, but they did.
Speaker 3: They literally did.
Speaker 2: That is true, they did so I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they flirt with double digits. Okay, some
Speaker 1: housekeeping here. Ryland Griffin had seven points in thirty two minutes,
Speaker 1: kept getting open looks, couldn't make anything like. They didn't
Speaker 1: pull him like how he kept shooting. You have no chance,
Speaker 1: You have no other choice, especially with your other guys
Speaker 1: playing well. The makes didn't feel as as heavy from
Speaker 1: a gravity perspective when you could rely on other people
Speaker 1: like Zeke and kJ scoring with Ryland cold Griffin was
Speaker 1: just too for eight overall one for six from three,
Speaker 1: but Doonga added to and two and fourteen minutes and
Speaker 1: only eight players played, even with the being senior night,
Speaker 1: which was weird. They didn't play the walk Ons, which
Speaker 1: I know is kind of Bill's kind of always done that.
Speaker 1: Not all schools do that, but I think that goes
Speaker 1: to the.
Speaker 3: Show how walk Ons are not Evan Manning, They're not
Speaker 3: Mike Takovich anymore.
Speaker 1: Evan Manning was there, though he's an assistant on Arizona's
Speaker 1: coaching staff.
Speaker 2: He got a nice pop didn't even know that.
Speaker 3: I didn't even know that.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: He's on Arizona's coaching staff, and Danny Manning is an
Speaker 1: assistant on Tad Boyle, the soon to be fired Tad
Speaker 1: Boyle's staff at Colorado. It's a lot of homecoming here
Speaker 1: in the Big Twelve. Yep. Any closing thoughts on this game.
Speaker 1: I feel like we didn't really talk about it. Caleb
Speaker 1: Love played pretty well Arizona. They didn't shoot the ball great,
Speaker 1: but I mean they still scored almost eighty points, which
Speaker 1: their offense is good. They made free throws, as we
Speaker 1: knew they would, but Kansas had answers down the stretch
Speaker 1: against the very good offense, and Alan field House just
Speaker 1: seemed differently. I don't know if ESPN had the crowd
Speaker 1: microphone a little bit different. Texas Tech game. It never
Speaker 1: really seemed like that that place was able to explode
Speaker 1: like they did a couple times in the Arizona game.
Speaker 1: Tommy Lloyd said after the game, man, we've been to
Speaker 1: Ames and Kansas here in the last week, and these
Speaker 1: two places are awesome. I want an environment like that.
Speaker 1: Kind of pissed off the fans there because he basically
Speaker 1: said our fans. Now we have to see the bar
Speaker 1: of what it is in this Big twelve after going
Speaker 1: to Allen field House. For those of you who don't
Speaker 1: know if Tommy Lloyd would take the Kansas job, just
Speaker 1: go watch his press conference after losing in the fog.
Speaker 1: The answers yes. The answer is yes, he would take
Speaker 1: it quite quickly because he was in awe of Allan
Speaker 1: field House. But Alan field House gets a dub too,
Speaker 1: they get credit. Hunter Dickinson said after the game that
Speaker 1: the goal was to get kJ and to want to
Speaker 1: win because they deserve it the most for all they've
Speaker 1: given the CA thought that was cool. And there's a
Speaker 1: picture that I tweeted on Rock Chalk Blog of the
Speaker 1: core three, kJ, Hunter and to One having this three
Speaker 1: way hug as they checked out for the last time.
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. It should hit you right in the fields.
Speaker 1: As people who have criticized Kansas, I've criticized these three
Speaker 1: more than any players in the history of the program
Speaker 1: at times, and we've been guilty of it too. With
Speaker 1: all three of them. These guys still care, and these
Speaker 1: guys are still playing really hard, and I think it's
Speaker 1: awesome to see. They're a good little visual representation of
Speaker 1: all the work they put in for this school. Eleven
Speaker 1: seasons at Kansas, those three kids gave ku and it's
Speaker 1: not over yet. Hoping to see them be able to
Speaker 1: win a handful of games coming up because they deserve it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was really genuinely happy for Hunter Dickinson that
Speaker 3: not only you know, he gets his moment on Senor Day,
Speaker 3: but that he goes out on a thirty three and ten.
Speaker 3: I thought like that, I think that's really cool for him. Obviously,
Speaker 3: all the fan base stuff that's happened, all the discourse
Speaker 3: around Hunter Dickinson to have the one moment, and obviously
Speaker 3: he's had plenty of good aims in that building. But
Speaker 3: to have your last game be maybe your best game.
Speaker 3: I think there was somebody who replied. There was somebody
Speaker 3: who replied to me saying basically exactly that that said, yeah,
Speaker 3: but he still gave.
Speaker 1: Up almost thirty. He's a net negative. It's like, okay,
Speaker 1: so the guy gets you thirty three.
Speaker 2: The guy get sent him to Utah wherever they shot
Speaker 2: the gain.
Speaker 1: Wasn't I thought, No, it wasn't Utah they did that?
Speaker 4: Was it?
Speaker 1: I wasn't.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Let me look, I don't know, it's
Speaker 2: somewhere with a low standard of education, a lot of
Speaker 2: mouth breathers. And that's exactly what that guy that wrote
Speaker 2: that comment is.
Speaker 1: It was in South Carolina, cam a very very prestigious
Speaker 1: education system in the game.
Speaker 2: In programs from Yes, it is exactly all right, next
Speaker 2: next question.
Speaker 1: Yes, sorry Land and just to completely drive that train
Speaker 1: in front of your your very nice comments, but yes,
Speaker 1: I agree. And and there are still people on Twitter
Speaker 1: who aren't gonna be happy with it that there's seven
Speaker 1: foot to thirty points a game score isn't also holding
Speaker 1: his opponents to zero percent? Uh. And there was a
Speaker 1: moment where Dickinson made a basket on on one end
Speaker 1: for Kansas and then Arizona got a fast break but
Speaker 1: bucket like immediately after, and people were mad on Twitter
Speaker 1: at Dickinson for not getting back because they saw it
Speaker 1: was the center that made the basket for Arizona and
Speaker 1: they're like, that's Dickenson's man, where is he and he
Speaker 1: the buckets score being the first one to inbound the
Speaker 1: ball after somebody else scores on a fast break, that
Speaker 1: that's not the guy you blame in that scenario, guys,
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not his fault that he's not Ussein
Speaker 1: bolt Fast while also being seven too, and also being
Speaker 1: a walking double double like he can't he can't do
Speaker 1: it all?
Speaker 3: Why not Ryan? Why can't he?
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 2: He is tall.
Speaker 1: If you if you're if you're born.
Speaker 2: You can do it all.
Speaker 3: Kids Adams can shoot threes and I've on the floor,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, which is why Kansas's ed enters the NCAA
Speaker 1: Tournament with a one seed of essentially locked up right yeah.
Speaker 2: For their second round.
Speaker 3: I haven't checked bracketology in twenty years, but I think so.
Speaker 1: We don't have the Big Twelve awards yet. We presume
Speaker 1: Hunter Dickinson is a lock for First Team All Big Twelve.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll have anybody else on the
Speaker 1: second or third teams, probably not Zeke Mayo, kJ Adams,
Speaker 1: Dewan Harris, all possibly getting honorable mention. Maybe maybe Zeke
Speaker 1: Mayo sneaks on one of that. Like he's he's averaged
Speaker 1: fifteen points a game. He's had a really nice year.
Speaker 1: Not expecting Bill self to get a lot of kudos
Speaker 1: for Coach of the Year, but uh, that's uh, you know,
Speaker 1: you never know. Maybe maybe maybe everybody will be mad
Speaker 1: at Calvin Sampson and they'll be like, let's not vote
Speaker 1: for him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's give it to the guy who had a
Speaker 2: preseason number one team that's a borderline eight seed.
Speaker 3: Why not?
Speaker 1: Good job, Billy, sir. At all they need to do
Speaker 1: is beat Utah and Arizona and Texas Tech and Houston,
Speaker 1: and then they.
Speaker 2: Might just just need a completely new team. And they're
Speaker 2: right there.
Speaker 1: Yep, Hey you gotta start new Testament Hawks? Are the
Speaker 1: new Testament Hawks? Back on, are you guys believing again?
Speaker 3: I flipped back to Malachi.
Speaker 2: I yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: What's it gonna take. What's it gonna take?
Speaker 3: What do you need to see? Yep? I think that's it.
Speaker 3: I think if they.
Speaker 1: Get to the finals and they add three wins and
Speaker 1: they enter the tournament having one at that point, that'd
Speaker 1: be seven of ten with the three losses all to
Speaker 1: top ten teams. I think you're feeling like, Okay, if
Speaker 1: they get a good if they get the right four seed,
Speaker 1: maybe they'll they'll like, I don't know. I think you
Speaker 1: guys are three wins in Kansas City away from being like,
Speaker 1: you know, the meme of Vince McMahon like like sitting
Speaker 1: up in his chair, and and not not the one
Speaker 1: of him like losing his mind, just simply the first
Speaker 1: part of it, him sitting out. I think that's you guys,
Speaker 1: if get to Friday night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe a bit. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I've seen this movie. We see when we'll get there.
Speaker 1: All right, we will indeed see when they get there.
Speaker 1: Final numbers for Kansas in this game forty nine percent
Speaker 1: from the floor, thirty eight percent from three, to sixty
Speaker 1: four percent at the line. They were plus six on
Speaker 1: the glass and only five total team turnovers. Those are
Speaker 1: all good, with the exception of the free throw line.
Speaker 1: They're all very good numbers. And they played a good team.
Speaker 1: They played a top twenty team on Ken Palm. I
Speaker 1: know that they haven't played super well in the last
Speaker 1: few weeks and the wins and lost total, but they
Speaker 1: beat the team that finished third in the Big Twelve
Speaker 1: at home. That's that's good. They did a nice job.
Speaker 1: That's their best win of conference play, I think, right.
Speaker 1: As crazy as that is to say, yep, yeah it is,
Speaker 1: statistically it is. That's yeah, that's something, all right. Any
Speaker 1: closing thoughts, I thought it was a good win, and
Speaker 1: I think it sends them into the new season. This
Speaker 1: one actually is a new season. There's zero and zero
Speaker 1: officially now sends them in with with with something to
Speaker 1: for fans to be happy about.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a nice way to end the year. It
Speaker 3: really is. Get to twenty wins, keep the Senior Day
Speaker 3: streak alive, do it in the beautiful red uniforms. Send
Speaker 3: some people out on a nice game. Yeah, it really
Speaker 3: was a good win. It is win. I think you
Speaker 3: can have some genuine encouragement. I still think Kansas is
Speaker 3: in more of a role to play spoiler than hero,
Speaker 3: So I think maybe adjust your expectations to that a
Speaker 3: little bit and you might have a better time in
Speaker 3: the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, firing squad.
Speaker 1: All right, just because you asked, He asked nicely for it.
Speaker 2: Here you go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Big twelve games, actually Cam's Big twelve games, because
Speaker 1: Cam wrote these Big twelve recaps and whenever that happens.
Speaker 1: I don't have a dump button Cam joke from the
Speaker 1: first I show here yeah.
Speaker 3: Here, yeah, and boy did he smash it earlier.
Speaker 2: It's called low water pressure and a cheap plunger.
Speaker 1: It's not I was gonna make a Chicago joke. But
Speaker 1: it's not even Chicago anymore. You're the You're Michigan upgrade
Speaker 1: waters problems, Yeah to Detroit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Michigan's known for great water. You guys heard of Flint.
Speaker 2: You wonder how I turned out the way that I did.
Speaker 1: It's because he drank the Flint water, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, my parents didn't want me to play violent
Speaker 2: video games as a child because they were like, you're
Speaker 2: gonna become a messed up person. I was like, joke's
Speaker 2: on you, guys. I turned out just like a moron.
Speaker 1: We're gonna see, We're gonna put that in the task
Speaker 1: because Cam wrote these big twelve notes, as he does
Speaker 1: on days wherever I am driving to a different southern state. Uh.
Speaker 1: And so we're gonna see how this works. We're gonna
Speaker 1: see how this works if we get if we get canceled,
Speaker 1: just know it's Cam's fault. I don't know the rankings,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't really matter here because Iowa state seventy three,
Speaker 1: Kansas state fifty seven.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're three. We're three words in, and I already
Speaker 1: can't say that I can't say that word. I mean
Speaker 1: I could, but I don't want to go back and
Speaker 1: edit it. Cam may Or may Not allegedly have had
Speaker 1: some money on Kansas State to cover a spread that
Speaker 1: they did not cover, which prompted some very funny texts
Speaker 1: to in our group chat when he realized that they
Speaker 1: were not going to cover. And that is Jerome Tang,
Speaker 1: who in the right oh, it literally says that right here,
Speaker 1: who in their right mind would have picked Jerome Tang
Speaker 1: to cover nine and a half points on Senior Day?
Speaker 1: This guy, of course, see we're stupid for this landon
Speaker 1: twice two times on Saturday. My always pick a good
Speaker 1: to really good road team in a rematch of a
Speaker 1: game that they lost earlier that year at home. This
Speaker 1: is one of them. We should have seen this coming.
Speaker 1: Iowa State lost at home to Case State earlier in
Speaker 1: the year. They were easy money, so naturally we all
Speaker 1: went against it. Tam and Lipsey led the way with
Speaker 1: twenty four points. Jerome Tang did not run into the
Speaker 1: stands and the obese Golden Corral chicken dance that they
Speaker 1: do because they lost, which is very I know exactly
Speaker 1: what you're saying. He did it after they beat Like
Speaker 1: Colorado the other day, called like sixteen fans. It's the
Speaker 1: Wabash cannonball.
Speaker 6: What is what?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Wow, just right off the top rope. Okay, we
Speaker 1: get it. Ryan likes fat girls. We get it. It's hilarious.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, right, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I was pretty good.
Speaker 3: I can only withstand so many years of Twitter card
Speaker 3: girl jokes for me to break.
Speaker 1: That's true, that's true, and I get it because at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you like who you like,
Speaker 1: and if you get shamed for it, that is okay.
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State seventy eight, Cincinnati sixty seven. Here go Landon.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm throwing a grenade at you to
Speaker 1: hear read this sentence, Cam wrote.
Speaker 3: I think this one's funny. I'm gonna do it well.
Speaker 3: Every family has their degenerate failure, and Miller family has Wes.
Speaker 3: That's a tough beat for Wes Miller, but he did not.
Speaker 3: I have a great year.
Speaker 1: Is Wes Miller related to all the other Millers that
Speaker 1: are better basketball coaches? And I guess they all kind
Speaker 1: of look at.
Speaker 2: Has Sean Miller's brother, right, I know Archie Miller is
Speaker 2: is Sean? Maybe not is Wes Miller.
Speaker 1: I mean he has the same he looks like Gabe
Speaker 1: from the office. Like that's like, not Lady Goga Gabe,
Speaker 1: but he looks like Gabe. So according to the According
Speaker 1: to the Wikipedia page on the personal blurb on Wes Miller,
Speaker 1: it says his father was Kenneth D. Miller, a prominent
Speaker 1: alumnus and trustee of wake Forest University. He also had
Speaker 1: a younger brother that played basketball at Monmouth, So there
Speaker 1: is some basketball there, but not what you were thinking.
Speaker 1: He can still be the failure. Kenneth Miller is clearly
Speaker 1: the respected one.
Speaker 3: Probably Cincinnati now needs to win the Big Twelve Tournament
Speaker 3: more than likely to make an appearance in the and
Speaker 3: they will not, definitely on the outside, they will not
Speaker 3: do that. I'm very confident. Uh Jigsell James went six
Speaker 3: for twenty one from the floor. That's all I will
Speaker 3: read from there. Do that though, and it's a great name.
Speaker 3: It remains a great name.
Speaker 1: Is that My turn?
Speaker 4: Is that?
Speaker 1: My turn? I was adding a note that I did
Speaker 1: not want to forget from a from an SEC game
Speaker 1: this week. Let me let me make sure, let me
Speaker 1: scroll back up here. Colorado seventy six, TCU fifty six.
Speaker 1: Holy crap, Cam Colorado, you said they were due and
Speaker 1: they are. What is that like, three of seven since
Speaker 1: starting zero to thirteen. If only you could take away
Speaker 1: the first thirteen, they'd be in an NCAA tournament consideration
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't work that way. And I also wonder
Speaker 2: if you had bet money line on all of their
Speaker 2: games this year and you did, like ten dollars something
Speaker 2: like that, I wonder how much money you'd be down
Speaker 2: by now, or because they might have won a couple
Speaker 2: that they won.
Speaker 1: As underdogs And yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: But yeah, unsurprisingly, Jamie Dixon continue to be terrible at
Speaker 2: his job. Really, nothing interesting to report here other than
Speaker 2: a guy named Jack Peas. He had one point, which
Speaker 2: is one more point than AJ score stored yesterday.
Speaker 1: There's a they really have a player named peace, Jack Peas.
Speaker 2: And point.
Speaker 1: Would you trade a J store for Jack Peas?
Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, yeah, I think I would. At this point,
Speaker 3: I don't because I don't know. Jack Peas is an
Speaker 3: unknown quantity to me.
Speaker 2: I trade him for a can of peace.
Speaker 1: No, you wouldn't.
Speaker 3: AJ guys. Jack Peas is averaging point three.
Speaker 1: Points a game pretty much. I may keep AJ store,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: But Jack Peas has appeared in six career college games
Speaker 3: in three years.
Speaker 1: Hmmm, not not not thinking that I that I want
Speaker 1: to trade aj Store for him then, But but you
Speaker 1: know what I understand it, West Virginia seventy two. You
Speaker 1: see we have sixty five. Cam labels this a good
Speaker 1: week for the welfare Kings of the South. Yes, West
Speaker 1: Virginia does count as the South. Javon Small went five
Speaker 1: for fifteen from three and Cam says all that makes
Speaker 1: him think is that the fact that Crady Dick was
Speaker 1: never given the shot to shoot that many times at Kansas,
Speaker 1: and that makes me sad. Yes, but we did see
Speaker 1: five man kJ Adams stuffed the Bucks scoring route to
Speaker 1: sixty six points and per on a per game average there, Cam,
Speaker 1: so it's not all bad. Is West Virginia a tournament lock?
Speaker 1: Should they win the Big twelve turn or should they
Speaker 1: win their Big twelve opener, which will more than likely,
Speaker 1: barring in upset over Colorado be against TCU.
Speaker 3: Uh, they're I maybe it's really close. I think they're
Speaker 3: on the inside.
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like that they should be there, the
Speaker 1: eighth best team in the Big Twelve. Let's see, where
Speaker 1: does ESPN have West Virginia ESPN has him as a
Speaker 1: nine seed, so that's you'd think that's close, but it
Speaker 1: feels you think that's a lock. But it feels like
Speaker 1: every year we see a team on that nine line
Speaker 1: that loses to a bad team in their first tournament
Speaker 1: game and then they get passed or shockingly dropped off.
Speaker 1: So yes, I think one win in Kansas City locks
Speaker 1: them in. And I don't think they're a real scrappy
Speaker 1: bet to go very far in the NCAA's but I
Speaker 1: think that they'll they have enough quality wins that that
Speaker 1: will be enough.
Speaker 3: I think that is correct.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very fair.
Speaker 1: Take number nine Texas Tech eighty five Arizona State fifty
Speaker 1: seven Land and it's all you Texas Tech almost lost
Speaker 1: to this team just a few weeks ago and then
Speaker 1: they made them roadkill at home.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they very much did not almost lose. Here, Cam says,
Speaker 3: I believe the spread opened up at like Tech minus
Speaker 3: twelve and a half, and he wishes he threw a
Speaker 3: Ryan sized woman on that. That wasn't ear in my fault,
Speaker 3: that's just what the man put.
Speaker 1: J T.
Speaker 3: Toppen went for twenty five points and Basher Jihad nothing
Speaker 3: interesting to say about him for he was seven and
Speaker 3: eleven for twenty two points. That's uh, I just now
Speaker 3: clicked into what all of that is. That's another art
Speaker 3: level sentence. Cam.
Speaker 1: That is art a bill Cam. I I think my
Speaker 1: favorite thing that Cam has said on the show is
Speaker 1: whenever you said you were like a mentally disturbed Robert Frost, because.
Speaker 2: I think that misunderstood.
Speaker 1: That is so freaking funny and true, Like it's that's
Speaker 1: very very true. Cam has an amazing way with words.
Speaker 1: If he used his talents for good and not evil,
Speaker 1: then he would be legitimately Robert Frost the second. But
Speaker 1: instead he writes how.
Speaker 2: No, no, I was gonna give it a go.
Speaker 1: I felt the dopamine rush to give it a go,
Speaker 1: and I decided that it's not worth our time.
Speaker 2: Two roads. Two roads diverged in a yellow forest, and
Speaker 2: I chose the one with borderline gambling, addiction and substance
Speaker 2: abuse problems. Not really.
Speaker 1: Allegedly, sir, that's just getting number three. Houston sixty five
Speaker 1: Baylor sixty one.
Speaker 3: Cam.
Speaker 1: I was watching this game hoping to see Houston win
Speaker 1: it because I wanted to see Kansas move from the
Speaker 1: seven to the six in the Big Twelve Tournament if
Speaker 1: you want to know how pathetic and awful I am.
Speaker 2: That's I mean, that's that's dedication. This game had a
Speaker 2: spread of four and a half for Houston, and some
Speaker 2: people were pretty here, cam, Yep, yep, we're pretty upset.
Speaker 2: But two roads I took mine.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, here, Calvin Sampson is like a million
Speaker 1: and one in his last big twelve sleek games, And
Speaker 1: why are you petting against this?
Speaker 2: Well, no, I didn't. I don't think I did this
Speaker 2: four and a half. Yeah, I think I took them
Speaker 2: at four and a half. Okay, I remember, let me.
Speaker 3: Try this again.
Speaker 1: Baylor had everything to play for and Houston had nothing
Speaker 1: to play for. Why how are you touching this game?
Speaker 1: It's at ten o'clock on a Saturday night.
Speaker 2: That was the other angle you could take. I took
Speaker 2: the angle of Houston's really good, and then I also
Speaker 2: took the angle of I'm gonna wake up and see
Speaker 2: the score and maybe all made five dollars. And I
Speaker 2: woke up and did not make five dollars.
Speaker 1: They had this game like they were up ten with
Speaker 1: two minutes left, too. It was a bunch of garbage
Speaker 1: time to get it there. So sorry to tell you
Speaker 1: the right side. They should have had buy more.
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, LJO Cow LJ. Cryer had twenty three points.
Speaker 2: VJA Edgecombe also had twenty three points. Baylor has to
Speaker 2: be the most disappointing team this year other than Bills Jayhawks. Yeah,
Speaker 2: where do you guys think Baylor stands in the NCAA
Speaker 2: tournament field this year?
Speaker 1: Cam ask cam asks? Is Baylor a dei NCAA tournament
Speaker 1: berth slash higher? Yes, they kind of are get.
Speaker 3: The Baptist demographic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're only in there. They're only in there because
Speaker 1: their name has been Like, honestly, if you look West
Speaker 1: Virginia has a better resume than Baby or does that?
Speaker 1: Saint John's win in the flukiest fashion in November that
Speaker 1: is saving Baylor right now. And I'm still probably gonna
Speaker 1: pick them to win the eight nine game that they
Speaker 1: will lose because oh it's Scott Drew, He's done this before. VJ.
Speaker 1: Edge comes really good. Baylor is just so unspectacular this year.
Speaker 1: And they have a lot of very talented players that
Speaker 1: that should not be a sentence. They just have no
Speaker 1: depth whatsoever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they will make it in barring some
Speaker 3: like catastrophic loss and a couple of things breaking against them.
Speaker 3: But I agree with Ryan, I I should should caution
Speaker 3: myself from taking them too far.
Speaker 1: Here in a couple of weeks, Uh, b Yu eighty
Speaker 1: five death, not Houston who they beat? Instead? Cam wrote,
Speaker 1: they beat Houston eighty five. Okay, it's Utah tell you what, sir.
Speaker 1: Just because of that, you can read this sentence because
Speaker 1: this is too good for me to to to selfishly
Speaker 1: take for myself.
Speaker 2: All right. Uh in a game of epic proportions where
Speaker 2: the losers continue to be caffeineless, non monogamous, mouth breathing
Speaker 2: Neanderthals be why he won this Holy war.
Speaker 1: Cam just just just struck a match and threw it
Speaker 1: behind him. And Landon and I are watching whatever, well
Speaker 1: I might, I don't care. Landon is watching the the
Speaker 1: pride that he once had to be a part of
Speaker 1: this podcast. Yeah it's it's now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's now.
Speaker 2: It's that.
Speaker 3: One of you guys says something like that, it's just
Speaker 3: the picture of like Killian Murphy playing Oppenheimer the middle distance,
Speaker 3: thinking about his life.
Speaker 2: Dude, speaking of that, I drove by a Chuck E
Speaker 2: Cheese yesterday and I got a thousand ster.
Speaker 1: Sounds like I really thought a lot, sir. I went
Speaker 1: to the Rainforest Cafe in a Dallas mall and had
Speaker 1: an oreo lava cake at the bar of a Rainforest
Speaker 1: cafe where every fifteen minutes there was either a thunderstorm
Speaker 1: or somebody singing Happy Birthday to a child. And I
Speaker 1: learned that there is a bar at the Rainforest Cafe
Speaker 1: where they serve molten volcano oreo cakes for twenty dollars.
Speaker 3: Wild is a real country, guys. America is a real
Speaker 3: country where.
Speaker 1: We can you can drink while looking over the little
Speaker 1: children's birthday parties amidst the thunderstorms.
Speaker 3: Animatronic gorilla?
Speaker 2: Would you rather have just fight an animatronic gorilla or
Speaker 2: a chuck e cheese animatronic well cam?
Speaker 1: According to you, you've had some fun with at least
Speaker 1: one of those things.
Speaker 2: I didn't have fun with it.
Speaker 3: They had said you'd rather have fun with it?
Speaker 2: Yeahaday. They were the ones that watch Pata Kansas, which
Speaker 2: I still stand for.
Speaker 1: I drove so on the way on the way from
Speaker 1: Dallas to Shreveport. Right along that way is white House, Texas,
Speaker 1: which is Patrick Mahomes' hometown. So we stopped there to see,
Speaker 1: like they gotta have like a like a home of
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes sign or something, and they didn't, and I about,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go build one myself. I'm gonna get the
Speaker 1: a yard sign and everything. Well, I mean, he did
Speaker 1: only graduate high school there like eight years ago. Like
Speaker 1: I'm sure, I'm sure that's part of it.
Speaker 2: I'm presler isn't like a designated sign like on the
Speaker 2: road that says this is where Patrick Mahomes Senior drove
Speaker 2: his car through a Denny's after twenty four Medelos.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't even know that was counting home of
Speaker 1: That's right, here's where he blew.
Speaker 2: It's point two four on the BAC.
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes may have three super Bowls, but his dad's
Speaker 1: got three of something else.
Speaker 2: His dad's the Wilt Chamberlain of drinking and driving.
Speaker 3: Some crazy numbers.
Speaker 1: Whenever we have cam a microphone, we just just well,
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys know what's gonna happen. And for
Speaker 1: some reason, Lannon and I still like surprise, and then
Speaker 1: what will happen is Campbell text us five minutes after
Speaker 1: the show raps like, guys, I'm sorry, that was all
Speaker 1: that was my fault that this didn't go too good.
Speaker 3: That is Cam's version of Nick being like, guys, my
Speaker 3: boss listens to guys. Guys, my profession said he's going
Speaker 3: to listen to the show. You can't have that in there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I disagree. I disagree when Cam says that that
Speaker 1: that he made the show bad by being a complete delinquent.
Speaker 1: I think it makes it better because there are many podcasts.
Speaker 1: There are many podcasts out there where they'll be like
Speaker 1: so Ken Palm has Kansas at twenty and Bartova at
Speaker 1: twenty one?
Speaker 2: Which do you like better?
Speaker 1: And Cams just like all right, listen Wilt Chamberlain numbers
Speaker 1: for Pat Mahomes Senior on the d uys YT's talk
Speaker 1: about the Mormons. Hey guy, that's that's why, that's why
Speaker 1: you listen. You don't listen for it?
Speaker 2: You would you rather spend a day in a forget
Speaker 2: locked in the francilla for an hour. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't know if we can say that Camp, I
Speaker 4: gave you all sorts of props and now you went
Speaker 4: you went straight for that.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. I might have to actually go
Speaker 1: back and beat that.
Speaker 2: Now. Yeah, that one's probably beepworthy.
Speaker 3: Just know it was flew too close to the sun.
Speaker 1: But I might rather do that than than spend a
Speaker 1: day with Franfracilla, who by the way, if fran Frachilla
Speaker 1: watched a person do the first thing you said, he
Speaker 1: would say that's kind of sad. Anyway, Kansas now down three.
Speaker 1: I don't think they need the three ride here.
Speaker 2: I'd watch them.
Speaker 3: He never thought Kansas needs the three. So b YU.
Speaker 1: Way back to BYU beating Utah, Cam says, if you
Speaker 1: had a choice of attending an on campus party at
Speaker 1: either BYU or Utah, which one would you choose? Is
Speaker 1: there a difference? They're like the same school.
Speaker 3: Uh Utah because there could theoretically be alcohol present and mus.
Speaker 1: There you go, and I guess they play Snoop Dogg
Speaker 1: at b Yu. They they b Yu people look like
Speaker 1: they know how to party, they just can't. It's kind
Speaker 1: of like whenever a mom can't lift a car to
Speaker 1: save their child that's trapped under it, but then they
Speaker 1: find the strength when they need to do it to
Speaker 1: get it done. I've envision that being by students.
Speaker 3: YU student crack and open like a black tea with
Speaker 3: caffeine exactly.
Speaker 1: I think I think they have a lot of potential there.
Speaker 2: If you give a b Y student a coke zero,
Speaker 2: I think it's the same thing as the people that
Speaker 2: invented fire, like when they saw the.
Speaker 1: Fire happen maturing like SpongeBob cave Manu.
Speaker 3: It's pilgrim.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's.
Speaker 1: Even though they have a lot of restrictions. I certainly
Speaker 1: feel like b YU would be at least a quad
Speaker 1: two party school. I don't know about you, guys.
Speaker 3: Arizona State quad one.
Speaker 1: Arizona State is Quad one.
Speaker 3: A yeah, yeah, party schools.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: Cam says that by you will lose in the same
Speaker 1: second round or in the first round rather or make
Speaker 1: the Elite eight. I don't make the rules. You're right,
Speaker 1: they absolutely are doing that, and it will What will
Speaker 1: happen will depend Cam on what you put in your bracket.
Speaker 1: Slash allegedly put money on if you bet on BYU
Speaker 1: to win two NCAA games, they're going down in the
Speaker 1: first round. If you bet on them to lose round one,
Speaker 1: they're going to the Elite eight.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I'll probably do something to help on society here.
Speaker 1: Final Big twelve standings. Well, I didn't edit this, so
Speaker 1: you guys are gonna have to do some quick math here.
Speaker 1: Houston finishes at nineteen and one. Tech goes fifteen and
Speaker 1: five to get second.
Speaker 3: Outright.
Speaker 1: Arizona finishes third at fourteen and six, tied with BYU,
Speaker 1: though I believe Arizona has the tiebreaker there. Iowa State
Speaker 1: finishes fifth. They go thirteen and seven after starting like
Speaker 1: eight and one.
Speaker 3: Okay, here we go, Kansas eleven. I'm not gonna say
Speaker 3: what place they're in because that's gonna be insane. But
Speaker 3: Kansas went eleven and nine in Big twelve.
Speaker 1: Play baby gets real.
Speaker 3: Baylor did TCU win? I forgot? Nope?
Speaker 2: And did West Virginia win?
Speaker 3: They did?
Speaker 1: Baylor is the eight seeds, so they have to be next.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Baylor and West rginior ten and ten. Uh
Speaker 3: TCU K State are nine and eleven. No jokes, no
Speaker 3: jokes here, please stop. Utah is eight and twelve since no,
Speaker 3: since anti UCF also lost. I went to that.
Speaker 1: I went to the Presidential Library of George Bush yesterday.
Speaker 3: Cam.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you weren't there. We would have got kicked out.
Speaker 2: I would have just moved like the I can't say
Speaker 2: what I want to say.
Speaker 3: Cam, you can you can finish doing math. Have that
Speaker 3: the big post standings pal.
Speaker 2: I think I was supposed to do this on my
Speaker 2: part of the notes, So we're just gonna let it
Speaker 2: rip your Utah. I think twelve, Cincinnati also seven and thirteen.
Speaker 2: You see f eight and twelve. I think Oklahoma stone
Speaker 2: at all, Okay seven to thirteen, Oklahoma States seven and
Speaker 2: thirteen as well, Arizona State four and sixteen, and then
Speaker 2: Colorado three and seventeen.
Speaker 1: There you go, good recovery.
Speaker 6: There.
Speaker 1: See what happens is there's we have the big twelve
Speaker 1: standings list that I update each show, but I didn't
Speaker 1: update this one. So we were looking at last weeks
Speaker 1: and trying to remember, Okay, this team went too and
Speaker 1: oh so let's add two wins. It went as well
Speaker 1: as you could have expected. Other games and the SEC
Speaker 1: despite thirty four points from Jeni Broom. Number one, Auburn
Speaker 1: took their fourth loss of the season in dramatic fashion.
Speaker 1: Number seven Alabama goes on the road and shocks the
Speaker 1: Tigers ninety three to ninety one. Mark Sears hits a
Speaker 1: buzzer beater floater to win the game. That's the second
Speaker 1: of the two games where you always pick the elite
Speaker 1: team that lost earlier in the year at home. In
Speaker 1: the rematch, they went on the road, even though they
Speaker 1: went at number one. It's just rare for a top
Speaker 1: ten team like Alabama to get swept, and they proved
Speaker 1: it in this game. That wasn't even the only buzzer
Speaker 1: beater to a ranked team on the road on this
Speaker 1: particular day, but it was the best win of the day.
Speaker 1: Are we a little nervous? Auburn may have peaked a
Speaker 1: little early? Like there's still almost definitely a number one
Speaker 1: seed as long as they don't lose in the first
Speaker 1: round of the SEC. Even then that probably wouldn't be enough.
Speaker 1: But I'm not so sure. Bama is not the team
Speaker 1: I want in that league. If I can only have
Speaker 1: a future on one with.
Speaker 3: Their defense being what it is, I wouldn't I wouldn't
Speaker 3: hate it. But their offense is also very good, obviously, Cam,
Speaker 3: what do you think?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they might have peaked a little bit
Speaker 2: too early, but I think I like Bama. I just
Speaker 2: like their style of play.
Speaker 1: They are quite good either one of them. They are
Speaker 1: the two that you want in that conference. If you're
Speaker 1: picking two teams to go real far.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Number nineteen Kentucky not the team I think I'll
Speaker 3: be picking because they give up one hundred and twenty
Speaker 3: points on the right. But they got a nice win
Speaker 3: over fifteen Miszoo ninety one eighty three in Columbia. Or
Speaker 3: five Florida ran away from now unranked Ole miss ninety
Speaker 3: seventy one. The Gators continue to look like genuine contenders.
Speaker 3: They are going to be vying for that fourth one seed.
Speaker 3: Despite being tied at halftime. Numberfore Tennessee pulled away from
Speaker 3: ghastly two and sixteen and sec play South Carolina for
Speaker 3: a ten point seventy five sixty five win of their own.
Speaker 2: Arkansas and number twenty one Mississippi State played an absolute
Speaker 2: thriller as the Razorbacks snagged a huge ninety three to
Speaker 2: ninety two win as their tournament hope stay live. Both
Speaker 2: teams treated huge baskets down the stretch, but Arkansas got
Speaker 2: the final stop by the skin of their teeth. That's
Speaker 2: more teeth than most of their fans have. Georgia and
Speaker 2: Oklahoma also got nice wins over Vanderbilt in Texas, respectively.
Speaker 2: Somehow Oklahoma's getting in We don't know how.
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring up a Texas and Oklahoma which,
Speaker 1: by the way, whenever we were driving on the way
Speaker 1: to Dallas, stop Biden Norman and saw the Lloyd Noble
Speaker 1: Center where we have watched Kansas on TV lose many, many,
Speaker 1: many many interesting basketball or win many interesting basketball games.
Speaker 1: They've also lost someone's there. So Oklahoma goes on the
Speaker 1: road to Texas and they do win, as you just said,
Speaker 1: but I wanted to bring up a stat line from
Speaker 1: a Texas player by the name of Trey Johnson, whoeverages
Speaker 1: twenty points per game. He's a good, good basketball player.
Speaker 1: He's an elite freshman, probably a one and done. Trey
Speaker 1: Johnson went oh for fourteen from the floor. The man
Speaker 1: took fourteen shots and somehow every single one of them missed.
Speaker 1: How is it possible?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 1: Indeed, the amazing Dwan Harris would never just so that
Speaker 1: would be a three weeks worth in the Big Ten.
Speaker 1: Number eighteen Perdue has lost five of seven to end
Speaker 1: their season. They took it on the chin to Illinois
Speaker 1: on Friday night, lost by eight. Number twelve Wisconsin lost
Speaker 1: at home to a pretty bad Penn State team eighty
Speaker 1: six seven. So whenever they are a four seed and
Speaker 1: lose to a good shooting thirteen seed, don't act surprised.
Speaker 1: Number thirteen Maryland got a seventy four to sixty one
Speaker 1: went over Northwestern. But the real story, and Cam's baptism
Speaker 1: by fire into itp curses, is number eight Michigan State
Speaker 1: being a wagon. They are indeed very good. They led
Speaker 1: number seventeen Michigan by twenty two at halftime, got Michigan
Speaker 1: so frustrated that a shoving match started after the Spartans
Speaker 1: kept making threes. The Spartans wind up winning seventy nine
Speaker 1: sixty two at home to win an outright Big Ten title.
Speaker 1: This one ended with a little bit of a kerfuffle,
Speaker 1: as Landing here rights that Wolverine's got to be a
Speaker 1: good idea to stand on the center court logo. After
Speaker 1: the game, a fight started. There were some ejections nothing
Speaker 1: college basketball refs love doing. Then doing their little ejection
Speaker 1: hand signal after a game has already concluded. Really gonna
Speaker 1: do a lot of good there. Yeah, Michigan State's very good.
Speaker 1: They're a two seed right now, and they're they're gonna
Speaker 1: lose in the sweet sixteen, as they usually do. They
Speaker 1: will not win the Turnam year. Okay, allegedly, cam is
Speaker 1: all in.
Speaker 2: I think they're making a final four.
Speaker 1: We'll see. I think that this team's very good for that.
Speaker 3: But I do think Michigan State's really good.
Speaker 1: They're very fun to watch, and they lost to Kansas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, as did Number two Duke in the ACC. Number
Speaker 3: two Duke they beat UNC eighty two sixty nine, and
Speaker 3: it was a pretty competitive game that also was never
Speaker 3: really in doubt. Cooper Flagg didn't even play like that
Speaker 3: well and finished with fifteen nine to six and four blocks,
Speaker 3: So he's a psycho, as we have known. Number eleven Clemson.
Speaker 3: They blew up bad Florida State sixty five to forty
Speaker 3: seven and fourteen. Louisville beat tournament hopeful Stanford, which is
Speaker 3: really sad that Stanford's tournament hopeful and only put up
Speaker 3: forty eight against Louisville. They lost sixteen forty eight. Notre
Speaker 3: Dame beat Cal one hundred and twelve, one hundred and
Speaker 3: ten and four overtimes. Wow, that's interesting, I guess, But
Speaker 3: otherwise this conference sucks.
Speaker 1: Yeah. If Duke had lost the UNC, they would have
Speaker 1: been the three seed in the ACC tournament. Somehow at
Speaker 1: eighteen and two because Louisville and Clemson both win eighteen
Speaker 1: and two and Clemson beat them, but they did not
Speaker 1: and Duke, Yeah, Duke's the best team in the country.
Speaker 1: Auburn losing this week appold kind of doesn't matter anymore
Speaker 1: because every el the numbers you see on the scoreboards
Speaker 1: this week are going to be the team seeds in
Speaker 1: their tournaments. But Duke gonna be the number one team
Speaker 1: entering the NCAA Tournament. They are probably the favorite to
Speaker 1: win it all.
Speaker 3: YEP.
Speaker 2: In the Big East, number six Saint John's, led by
Speaker 2: a triple double from Cadarry Richmond and twenty eight from r. J.
Speaker 2: Lewis Stunn, Number twenty Marquette eighty six to eighty four
Speaker 2: on a Zoobi edge four overtime buzzer beer in Milwaukee,
Speaker 2: cam Jones had thirty two, nine and seven for the
Speaker 2: Golden Eagles. Despite the loss, Yukon did to seat in
Speaker 2: Hall what Ryan allegedly wants to do to Honey Boone's
Speaker 2: mom eighty one to fifty. Creighton Xavier both got a
Speaker 2: couple wins against truly irrelevant Providence and Butler teams.
Speaker 1: God Landon even throwing in fat jokes. Brandon, you go
Speaker 1: to church, you're not supposed to make fat jokes.
Speaker 3: I can make them a little bit.
Speaker 1: It's pretty funny. Landon making PG. Thirteen jokes. I'm never
Speaker 1: gonna used to in my head. Landon is still eternally
Speaker 1: the fifteen year old that would ask me at Culver's
Speaker 1: if he would never have to work a holiday ship
Speaker 1: because he didn't like to leave his couch on those days.
Speaker 1: He's like, that's just what I do. I don't want
Speaker 1: to work those days. Like okay, land and don't come
Speaker 1: in and make seven to twenty five whenever it's a
Speaker 1: blizzard outside. I can't understand why you wouldn't want to
Speaker 1: do that.
Speaker 3: Hey, my my boss, the scheduler Eric, great guy. I
Speaker 3: love Eric. He outrightly stopped scheduling me on KU basketball nights.
Speaker 2: That's really nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the same guy didn't have it. He didn't have
Speaker 1: as much leeway with that whenever I was managing there
Speaker 1: and working forty hours a week and had the same request.
Speaker 1: But you know, I made an attempt. Did Paul Win?
Speaker 1: I was seventeen, so that's correct, that's correct. Didn't Paul Win?
Speaker 3: Yes, they did.
Speaker 1: For the second time in a row. They end the
Speaker 1: regular season on a two game winning streak by beating Georgetown.
Speaker 1: I believe they swept Georgetown this year. If you get
Speaker 1: swept by De Paul, you should have to all with
Speaker 1: cinderblocks around your ankles as a team exercise jump into
Speaker 1: the Potomac River, because that just cannot happen in sports.
Speaker 1: Eighty three seventy seven was the final, and Landon says
Speaker 1: this will likely be their last one until November unless
Speaker 1: they draw Georgetown again somehow. Wouldn't that be a finals
Speaker 1: game in the past those two teams would have to
Speaker 1: make it to to make it to the Big East
Speaker 1: title game.
Speaker 3: That would be wild.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: And then, just as a fun note, because it is
Speaker 3: tournament time, high Point, Drake, Omaha, and Lipscomb. Those are
Speaker 3: your first four NCAA teams as of recording.
Speaker 1: Drake is the wagon. Drake is like thirty one and
Speaker 1: three or something like that, aren't they, Yeah, thirty and three.
Speaker 1: I was hoping that they would lose today. It's like
Speaker 1: twenty seven and five or something. Yeah, high points one
Speaker 1: to focus on right there. I was hoping that Drake
Speaker 1: would lose because I think that they would still make
Speaker 1: it anyway, and I would rather have had Bradley and
Speaker 1: Drake both make it because that would leave North Carolina
Speaker 1: or Oklahoma or somebody out. But none less, they're nasty.
Speaker 1: They're probably a ten or and eleven seeds. So please
Speaker 1: Kansas get high enough to not have to deal with
Speaker 1: that one, because they are. They are very very good
Speaker 1: ranked teams to lose. Since the last time we did
Speaker 1: a podcast, Number one Auburn lost to Alabama, second show
Speaker 1: in a row they've been on this list.
Speaker 3: Number twelve Wisconsin they lost to Penn State somehow.
Speaker 2: Fifteen Missouri lost to you Kentucky.
Speaker 1: Number seventeen Michigan lost to Michigan State for the second
Speaker 1: time in three weeks.
Speaker 3: Number eighteen Perdue they lost Illinois.
Speaker 2: Number twenty Marquette lost to Saint John's.
Speaker 1: Number twenty four lost to who else but you know
Speaker 1: the one, the only, the famous.
Speaker 3: Real, And number twenty five Missippi State they lost to Arkansas, and.
Speaker 1: Cam lost two bets allegedly.
Speaker 2: Yep, it's us.
Speaker 1: She goes, all right, we have a lot of asarcbs
Speaker 1: and not a lot of time, so we are going
Speaker 1: to go rapid fire, and I can't promise that we're
Speaker 1: going to read every question here, but we're gonna start
Speaker 1: with the most important question, the most important question, and
Speaker 1: that is from at Let me copy and paste this
Speaker 1: real quick. That is from at Rock Chuck eighty four
Speaker 1: that just simply asks best and worst, and you may
Speaker 1: want to know what that is, but I'm gonna paste
Speaker 1: in the notes here right wherever you guys are staring.
Speaker 1: This is the list of the Big Twelve eats that
Speaker 1: are going to be presented at the Big Twelve Tournament.
Speaker 1: And there's only eight this year. Usually every team has something.
Speaker 1: There may be more, but I'm only seeing eight here.
Speaker 1: We're each one of these. Yeah, I don't know if
Speaker 1: this is the complete list. I'm going to try to
Speaker 1: make sure of this. Every Big twelve team in the
Speaker 1: Big Twelve Tournament last year they bring their own food dish, right,
Speaker 1: they're special from their part of the country or whatever. No,
Speaker 1: there is going to be something for every school here.
Speaker 1: Let me paste this updated note in here, so you
Speaker 1: guys tell me which of these is the answer. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess it's most of them. Maybe it's not all
Speaker 1: of them because there's still a couple missing.
Speaker 3: Interesting here. I think the West Virginia pepperoni roll is
Speaker 3: near the last bottom. That doesn't sound that good.
Speaker 1: That's just because it's also coming out of West Virginia,
Speaker 1: so who knows.
Speaker 2: I mean, dude, if I ate the ic you green
Speaker 2: chili pork walking taco, I would I would commit a
Speaker 2: genocide on the toilet.
Speaker 1: Gonna say CAM would have a repeat of Tome also
Speaker 1: sounds so good. See, I think the answer is as
Speaker 1: somebody who is not a I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 1: I can't eat very much at a time the US.
Speaker 1: The UCF citch or not. Drink of the orange soda
Speaker 1: and vanilla ice cream sounds like something I could have
Speaker 1: about six of.
Speaker 3: Yep, that sounds really really good. I love a good
Speaker 3: orange vanilla cream thing.
Speaker 1: Baylor Brisket sliders is going to be underwhelming because Texas
Speaker 1: Barbecue just isn't. You're in Kansas City, don't have Texas Barbecue.
Speaker 3: Arizona Wildcat Mini Chicken, Chimmy chogas. Ryan, you want to
Speaker 3: some diary three am Again.
Speaker 1: I've already gotten some from this tournament before, so I
Speaker 1: may as well have a little bit more k loaded
Speaker 1: mac and cheese. That's kind of disappointing. Os U's Orange
Speaker 1: Power piece is probably pretty good. I bet that the
Speaker 1: Lubbock Burger's pretty good as well. There's there's a lot
Speaker 1: of good ones.
Speaker 3: Say that loaded mac and cheese is a generally overrated
Speaker 3: dish anyway, not that it's bad overrated.
Speaker 1: You're right, and it probably it probably will be again here,
Speaker 1: but you know, you kind of have to we have
Speaker 1: to trust that it's from Lawrence, right.
Speaker 3: I bet it'll be fine.
Speaker 2: At never let you down. In March.
Speaker 1: At AJ stevens and says what plays are on the
Speaker 1: Dewan Harris career highlight reel ads? I can only think
Speaker 1: of two, the Iowa State game winner and the Kentucky
Speaker 1: game from last year. Are there any others? I mean,
Speaker 1: those are the two that come to mind first.
Speaker 3: Harris play a stretch of having a few big buckets
Speaker 3: in a row. If I remembering correctly, idea was it
Speaker 3: was in seems like that specifically, remember.
Speaker 1: I think it was that in that same year as
Speaker 1: the iOS no is the next year wherever he made
Speaker 1: five threes in Lubbock and they barely won down there
Speaker 1: the last time that they won there. I think that was, Uh,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's up there. No, he doesn't have a
Speaker 1: lot of highlights, but I think that's just kind of
Speaker 1: that's kind of his mo right, Like, he also doesn't
Speaker 1: have a lot of low points, like the moments. You
Speaker 1: remember the stepping on the line in the National Championship
Speaker 1: game which didn't amount to anything, But like, there aren't
Speaker 1: a lot of just floor falls out onto one Harris
Speaker 1: moments either. I think that is who he is. He's
Speaker 1: the penny slots of point guards.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think it's a good win.
Speaker 1: Put it at Chris Circo too. If Colorado were to
Speaker 1: unbelievably win the conference tournament, what see would they get
Speaker 1: in March? I love these questions. Okay, let's see here.
Speaker 1: If Colorado were to win the NCAA tournament, Yeah, the
Speaker 1: answer is probably a twelve. What's their record? Like, because
Speaker 1: they have a terrible record, they would need to win
Speaker 1: five games, which would put them at seventeen and nineteen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're like a thirteen seed probably right.
Speaker 3: Because in like Oregon, Oregon won the Pac twelve title
Speaker 3: a time or two and they were like barely above
Speaker 3: five hundred.
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, they were like at twelve. Yeah, and their
Speaker 1: bet that team's better than this Colorado team. Yes, at
Speaker 1: shell me Hawk says, how's this team finally developed a
Speaker 1: clutch gene? Or did they play above their heads unseenior day?
Speaker 1: It was good to see them be clutch.
Speaker 2: They have not.
Speaker 1: They have not been proven to close out close games
Speaker 1: like that in a while. Also, it's at home, you're
Speaker 1: always gonna take it with a grain of salt, and
Speaker 1: everyone was having a really nice day at AJ Stevenson.
Speaker 1: Did Hunter refusing to let go of the jump ball
Speaker 1: at TCU end up being a turning point in his season?
Speaker 1: Maybe that We have seen a lot of moments since
Speaker 1: then where it's been like, oh, there's that toughness that
Speaker 1: people have been dying to see from him.
Speaker 2: Cam I just blanked out for five seconds. Yeah, Hunter
Speaker 2: Dickinson looked great. That's how I have to add to
Speaker 2: that one quality podcast that'll work.
Speaker 1: AJ also says Saint John started the season unranked. Are
Speaker 1: now in the top six. Zoobie av It's fourteen and eight.
Speaker 1: He hasn't been a focal point. Kansas got seventeen and
Speaker 1: ten from Hunter as a focal point. They're now in ranks.
Speaker 1: Are you still convinced, Kay you would suck without him?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Hunter's better than Zubi Kansas would be worse if you
Speaker 1: replaced Hunter with Zubi, right, Like, we're gonna agree.
Speaker 3: On this, I think so, Yes, that's likely.
Speaker 1: Kudos to Zubi, who's had a great year. He's also
Speaker 1: got a great coach, as does Hunter figuring that out.
Speaker 3: But but just the game.
Speaker 1: Yes, But like Hunter isn't a liability here, another very
Speaker 1: good center would really not elevate Kansas, Like like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I just think that you'd be He would
Speaker 1: be replacing a guy who has not cost Kansas games
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, Kansas Guard play at Mayo Zeke Berner.
Speaker 1: What is the point of AJ stores four minutes a
Speaker 1: half he gets there isn't one stop playing him.
Speaker 2: It's worthless, just an I all money and this is
Speaker 2: a it's that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this this is a sad thing for me
Speaker 1: to say because I've been on the AJ needs to
Speaker 1: play more Crane all year and I think that more
Speaker 1: often than not that camp would have been proven to
Speaker 1: be at least partly correct. He's a talented player that
Speaker 1: needs more minutes. But it's the ship is too far sailed.
Speaker 1: He is a complete liability out there. It looks like
Speaker 1: he's moving in slow motion. It's like he's having to
Speaker 1: move half speed while the guy that's getting ready to
Speaker 1: block his shot is moving full speed and can like
Speaker 1: time it out so easily because it feels like half
Speaker 1: of his shots get blocked at the rim. Everything moves
Speaker 1: slow when it's in his hands, and that's if a
Speaker 1: possession doesn't end in a turnover, he cannot play anymore. Yep,
Speaker 1: correct at Elliott Russen h one, what do you think
Speaker 1: it requires for Kansas to move up the sea line?
Speaker 1: Is it overall wins in the Big twelve tournaments or
Speaker 1: is it specific opponents.
Speaker 3: Well, they're gonna have to get both, just by the
Speaker 3: nature of how this goes. If you in a vacuum,
Speaker 3: you could pick one or the other, I think it
Speaker 3: would be quality.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, yes, And I don't think you can
Speaker 1: have one without the other end this tournament. Obviously, if
Speaker 1: they beat Utah and then lose to Arizona, that's not
Speaker 1: gonna change their seed much. But in order to get
Speaker 1: the number of wins required to move up, you're going
Speaker 1: to beat quality teams along the way, so they'll work together.
Speaker 1: And then there's also Bentley Hunt fifteen who says, say
Speaker 1: Kansas wins the Big twelve Championship or makes the title game?
Speaker 1: Is a four out of the question. If they win
Speaker 1: the Big twelve Tournament, I think they'll probably find their
Speaker 1: way to a four.
Speaker 3: Probably maybe maybe it would at least be in question.
Speaker 1: That would be twenty five wins, twenty four twenty five, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's gotta be real close. That'd be a
Speaker 1: lot of quality wins in a hurry. A couple of
Speaker 1: questions here that can relate to the end of the game.
Speaker 1: Elliot rus Nate says, what is some of your favorites
Speaker 1: hit you in the field sports moments? And Chris Circo
Speaker 1: two says, got to say, I feel kind of terrible
Speaker 1: for being hard on kJ into one all year. They've
Speaker 1: both given this team so much over six years and
Speaker 1: were contributors and the national championship run. Is it weird
Speaker 1: to say that I'm going to miss those guys despite
Speaker 1: criticizing them. No part of sports and part of them
Speaker 1: making money is you are allowed to criticize their games.
Speaker 1: It's this very small percentage on Twitter that takes it
Speaker 1: too far, that wishes harm on the players, that says
Speaker 1: that they can't wait for these players to be gone,
Speaker 1: that accuses them of not trying harder being a poor teammate.
Speaker 1: That's where the line gets crossed. Criticizing the athletes is fine,
Speaker 1: just doing it respectfully. I've never seen anything from from
Speaker 1: Chris that would that would indicate that he's crossed that line,
Speaker 1: but plenty of fans have. And yeah, you can absolutely
Speaker 1: still like players and root for players despite knowing that
Speaker 1: they weren't gonna get it done. My teenage self rooted
Speaker 1: for so many horrendous Royals teams and horrible Chiefs teams
Speaker 1: because I so badly thought that those players that I liked,
Speaker 1: that I stood outside at the stadiums to get their
Speaker 1: autographs even though they were terrible, that I rooted for
Speaker 1: those guys because even though they sucked. And that's okay, Like,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's perfectly allowed to root for players and
Speaker 1: to enjoy rooting for players while also doubting that they
Speaker 1: can be the very best of the best on the
Speaker 1: biggest stage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's well said.
Speaker 1: There are some of the the what are some of
Speaker 1: the hit you in the field sports moments, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of them.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think two specific ku ones, like along
Speaker 3: these lines, A senior day moment when specifically v gave
Speaker 3: his senior speech and he was talking about how his
Speaker 3: parents like brought him to the gym every day. I
Speaker 3: remember that, yeah, and he started choking up. But yeah,
Speaker 3: seventeen year old me was like, it's it's getting a
Speaker 3: little it's a little roasting here. Boys.
Speaker 1: It was the same one as the Vante's speech too,
Speaker 1: when he was in tears.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a good one. And then a month later,
Speaker 3: when DeVante Graham got checked out for the last time
Speaker 3: of the Final four in the game they were getting
Speaker 3: blown out, I was deeply sad.
Speaker 1: By the two seed or the one seed or whatever
Speaker 1: it was the same seed. Yeah, I remember that that
Speaker 1: did happen.
Speaker 2: Cam.
Speaker 1: Are you we an get hit in the fields kind
Speaker 1: of guy with sports?
Speaker 2: Not really, but I mean I think, like what the
Speaker 2: last Frank Mason game Begainst Oregon sucked? And then the
Speaker 2: Frank Mason like senior night was tough Whenny checked out.
Speaker 1: At Dick underscore Taser. Don't look this up, but does
Speaker 1: anyone know what NCAA team Robert Pettiford Junior is on.
Speaker 2: Yes, I do know that. Do either of you know this?
Speaker 2: I don't, I should I saw this the other night,
Speaker 2: but no, I'm not gonna guess it.
Speaker 1: I saw it because I saw the ESPN highlights. I
Speaker 1: learned this yesterday. Bobby Pettiford scored seventeen points as high Point,
Speaker 1: took down win throw oh to clinch an NCAA bid. Yep,
Speaker 1: he is, He's gonna be He's gonna be dancing, which
Speaker 1: is pretty cool. So let's see here. Bernard Goff eighteen
Speaker 1: zero zero two wants us to predict the Big twelfth Tournament.
Speaker 2: We will do that.
Speaker 1: The questions about like kJ and Hunter playing really well,
Speaker 1: as the common notion that guard play threes, what wins
Speaker 1: in March, We're gonna be like what happens to Texas
Speaker 1: Tech and narrow losson around A thirty two. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. If Zeke Mayo has an off night
Speaker 1: against anybody but the first team.
Speaker 3: You play, and even then depending on who that is,
Speaker 3: that's not a layup.
Speaker 1: This year at rd Evans eleven, best court design that
Speaker 1: has been an Allen is at the circle with the K,
Speaker 1: the original, the state outline, the Big Jayhawk. I like
Speaker 1: the Big Jayhawk. It's pretty much all out big JA
Speaker 1: I love how it's it's the biggest center court logo
Speaker 1: in sports. Agreed, But they're all good, Like the retro
Speaker 1: shape of Kansas on the court is really really good.
Speaker 1: Two more here and then if we didn't end up
Speaker 1: getting to it, just ultimately ran out of time. Appreciate
Speaker 1: everybody's questions at Bernard Gaw, excuse me, at Drew Watten
Speaker 1: was the Big twelve weeker than we thought? Houston wins
Speaker 1: it by four games BYU and Zona finish in the
Speaker 1: top four and their first year. I don't think it
Speaker 1: was weaker than we thought. I just think this is
Speaker 1: what happens when you add games and add opponents, and
Speaker 1: you're going to water down the league a little bit.
Speaker 1: There are just enough layup games here with the Colorados
Speaker 1: and the Arizona States where you're going to spread the
Speaker 1: top and the bottom out very far.
Speaker 3: I don't think the Big Twelve, well, I think the
Speaker 3: Big twelve actually this year was weaker than we thought
Speaker 3: it would be. I don't think that has anything to
Speaker 3: do with Arizona and Houston finishing in the top four
Speaker 3: in their first year like that was an expected thing
Speaker 3: this year, particularly, I know Arizona didn't start the year great,
Speaker 3: but they finished very well. So no, I don't think
Speaker 3: those two things are correlated necessarily. I do think the
Speaker 3: Big Twelve was down this year. I think it's pretty evident.
Speaker 3: But I don't think Arizona and Houston having good years
Speaker 3: means the Big Twelve was bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1: If you ever have asked arcb's used a Twitter hashtag
Speaker 1: ask RCB, there's one about how do we expect Kansas
Speaker 1: to do in neutral site games? We're going to answer
Speaker 1: that here right now. But I do love at showing
Speaker 1: me Hawk saying. Can you imagine if we could ever
Speaker 1: get the Big Twelve on Nickelodeon, have SpongeBob and Patrick
Speaker 1: calling a game at Allen Field House? It would not
Speaker 1: be worse than Fran for Scilla, especially if we can
Speaker 1: get SpongeBob in there to say, what does he say
Speaker 1: when he raises his hand in the Band Geeks episode,
Speaker 1: everybody knows it Come on Land and you said it earlier?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's it is mayonnaise an instrument?
Speaker 1: Correct, because every human on earth knows that SpongeBob says
Speaker 1: is mayonnaise? Or Patrick said, is mayonnaise an instrument? All right,
Speaker 1: let's preve you the Big twelve Tournament. This will be
Speaker 1: pretty fun. So Kansas, they are the sixth seed. They're
Speaker 1: going to play the winner of number eleven Utah and
Speaker 1: number fourteen UCF, which they have a chance for some
Speaker 1: revenge on the Utes or potentially less likely a third
Speaker 1: win over UCF. Let's go through the bracket here and
Speaker 1: you guys tell me who are your Day one winners.
Speaker 1: These are going to be games that are actually count in.
Speaker 1: Pickup Number twelve Oklahoma State versus number thirteen Cincinnati, Give
Speaker 1: me the Bearcats to stay alive for one more day.
Speaker 3: I I'm gonna agree.
Speaker 1: Cincinnati, Cincy, number nine TCU getting the rematch against number
Speaker 1: sixteen Colorado. I say this time the horn Frogs win. Yes, yep, TCU,
Speaker 1: Number ten Kansas State maybe the only reason to buy
Speaker 1: a ticket today one for the locals against number fifteen
Speaker 1: Arizona State. Case State may have totally quit, but I
Speaker 1: will reluctantly trust them to win a single game here
Speaker 1: in Kansas City.
Speaker 3: Well, you mean you don't want to see UCF Utah Ryan, Yeah.
Speaker 2: K State, Yeah, KSE State.
Speaker 1: They travel and then to play Kansas number eleven Utah
Speaker 1: and UCF as the fourteen seed, I will take the Utes,
Speaker 1: but I'm definitely getting one of those last two games wrong.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna zag and go with the Knights here.
Speaker 2: I'll take the.
Speaker 1: And then so that would set up is is there
Speaker 1: any upsets there? If you're so, those are your pick'am
Speaker 1: points here. The rest of them are hypotheticals. At this
Speaker 1: point we won't know. We won't know the exact matchups.
Speaker 1: But give me your final four, give me your semi
Speaker 1: finals opponents. I will take BYU to beat Iowa State
Speaker 1: and get there. Obviously, Houston, you take some chalk and
Speaker 1: they're gonna beat whoever. So by BYU Houston on the
Speaker 1: top half, and then on the bottom, I'm going chaos.
Speaker 1: Number seven Baylor beats number two Texas Tech. The Bears
Speaker 1: are in the semis and who else but Kansas wearing
Speaker 1: the blues upsets Arizona sets up a Baylor v. Kansas
Speaker 1: semi final game on the bottom half.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Iowa State Houston on the top, and
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Texas Tech Kansas.
Speaker 2: On bottom BYU Houston, a top Texas Tech Kansas at bottom.
Speaker 1: Who is the championship here? You you have to know
Speaker 1: who I'm going there. It's a Houston v. Kansas championship game.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, Iowa State plays really well in this tournament.
Speaker 3: I think they make a run here. Iowa State will
Speaker 3: play Texas Tech in the title.
Speaker 2: I will take Houston and Ku.
Speaker 1: Wow, look at us. Iowa State smashed Houston last year,
Speaker 1: so that is a potential revenge spot. And then for
Speaker 1: the title, for the title, come on, you already know
Speaker 1: you can't beat a team three times in one year.
Speaker 1: Houston can't beat Kansas three times. No chance Ku gets
Speaker 1: the ship and gets the four seed.
Speaker 3: Kansas never beat mediocre k State three times in one year,
Speaker 3: including a big TWEF title victory.
Speaker 2: That happen. Oh man, I'm gonna say the same thing.
Speaker 3: Giving Kansas Tech tech Tech wins the big twLF tournament.
Speaker 1: Yeah, tech is Tech is really good. Well, we'll see,
Speaker 1: we will see. I don't know it should be picked
Speaker 1: other games. I don't know what the pick them like.
Speaker 1: We don't know these matchups.
Speaker 3: Do you want me to pick like Georgia Tech Stanford
Speaker 3: or whatever? The frick of the ACC tournament?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was good.
Speaker 3: The only one I was gonna pull up.
Speaker 1: I was just gonna pull up the SEC and see
Speaker 1: if they're okay, we will we can pick. We can
Speaker 1: pick the first four games of the SEC for pick them. Here,
Speaker 1: let me make sure that I have the right bracket. Uh, okay,
Speaker 1: come on something, please load. Here we go, number sixteen
Speaker 1: South Carolina against number nine Arkansas. I want to see
Speaker 1: John Caliperi in the tournament, so I am gonna pick
Speaker 1: him to go way too far.
Speaker 3: Here, I agree, Arkansas.
Speaker 2: ARC.
Speaker 1: And then what that's number? I don't have the actual
Speaker 1: bracket in front of me. So the next one is
Speaker 1: eight Old miss versus No, wait a minute, it's it's
Speaker 1: ten Mississippi State versus fifteen LSU. I guess we'll go
Speaker 1: with Chris Beard's team to pack a punch.
Speaker 3: Yeah. LSU sucks. So give me Missippi State.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mississippi State.
Speaker 1: Number fourteen Oklahoma versus number eleven Georgia. My answer never,
Speaker 1: Porter give me the Bulldogs. Correct, sure, and the coin
Speaker 1: flip here number twelve Vanderbilt versus number thirteen Texas. Also
Speaker 1: the answer never, Rodney Terry, the worst Major coaching higher
Speaker 1: in the last five years, give me Vandy.
Speaker 3: I will say I'm gonna take Vandy, but I think
Speaker 3: whoever wins this game, will go to play Tennessee in
Speaker 3: the quarterfinal.
Speaker 2: Ooh ooh, I'll take Vandy as well.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll look at us. So Cam, the people
Speaker 1: want to know, with every Kansas game in this tournament
Speaker 1: being late, are we going to hear from you until
Speaker 1: the NCAA selection show.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try. I will, I will try.
Speaker 1: It may take some cocaine, but Cam will be there.
Speaker 1: Do you think it matters who? Do you think it
Speaker 1: matters who Kansas plays between Utah and UCF? Because I
Speaker 1: think that I think that I think Utah is the
Speaker 1: is the more preferred draw at this point. UCF can
Speaker 1: fill it up. They got two guys that can shoot
Speaker 1: really well. I will in a in a much more
Speaker 1: friendly atmosphere for Kansas. I would rather than get another
Speaker 1: shot at Utah. I know Utah beat them this year,
Speaker 1: but that's the matchup I want in a big twelve
Speaker 1: tournament team that hasn't played in this event before h
Speaker 1: and a team that Kansas has to be much more
Speaker 1: focused on.
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, I think that's the right take. I think
Speaker 3: Utah is definitely less explosive, but they've been better lately.
Speaker 1: I do think Kansas will beat their team. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: and then if they if they get past that, you
Speaker 1: are for sure getting Arizona. They have the double by
Speaker 1: Kansas just beat Arizona and they should have another very
Speaker 1: friendly home court setting. It's another Arizona hasn't played in
Speaker 1: the Big twelve tournament. I think Kansas would be a
Speaker 1: favorite in that game. That's a coin flip. We all
Speaker 1: pick Kansas to win that game hypothetically, but that's a
Speaker 1: tough game. Arizona's tough to keep down. Their offense is good.
Speaker 1: It will probably be Kansas by two or so, and
Speaker 1: pick them, and I think that it certainly wouldn't Would
Speaker 1: it surprise you at all if Arizona beat them by ten,
Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me at all.
Speaker 3: That game will be very close. If it does happen,
Speaker 3: I think it will. I am drinking the kool aid
Speaker 3: full stop that Kansas wins that game. But similarly, I
Speaker 3: would not be shocked if Arizona, Yeah, wins that game
Speaker 3: by three possessions.
Speaker 1: They got as good of a draw as you could
Speaker 1: have asked them to get in this tournament. They should
Speaker 1: not have a trouble with Utah or UCF. Shouldn't doesn't
Speaker 1: mean they won't, but they shouldn't, especially if you think
Speaker 1: they're going deep. Arizona is the preferred of any of
Speaker 1: the team's one, two, three, or four. Houston Tech BYU Arizona,
Speaker 1: I think the Wildcats are far and away the one
Speaker 1: that you want the most of those to play in
Speaker 1: the core. Then once you get to the semis, you're
Speaker 1: probably dealing with Tech, maybe Baylor, maybe somebody else. But
Speaker 1: whoever you play at that point is gonna be tough,
Speaker 1: and you're going to have a home court advantage against
Speaker 1: any team you play besides maybe Iowa State and who's
Speaker 1: also on the other side of the bracket.
Speaker 3: Hey, let's just get an Iowa State Kansas chip for
Speaker 3: full time saken eight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why not?
Speaker 1: Good chance there will be based on the pass. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: our next show will come out at some point between
Speaker 1: Big Twelve Tournament games. If Kansas drops a third as
Speaker 1: they did last year and loses in the first round
Speaker 1: of the Big Twelve Tournament, then we're probably not hopping
Speaker 1: back on the microphone at eleven o'clock that night to
Speaker 1: talk about it. We'll do it later in the week.
Speaker 1: But if they have another game in twenty four hours,
Speaker 1: you'll probably wake up Thursday morning like a little kid
Speaker 1: on Christmas who got that toy one under his tree?
Speaker 1: To a new episode of Inside the Paint on your phone,
Speaker 1: How's about us? Woh, this is itp from Shreveport, Louisiana.
Speaker 1: I'm Ryan andres from.
Speaker 3: Not the ether of the two places. My co hosts
Speaker 3: are at at play in Fields.
Speaker 2: And I'm a misunderstood. Robert Frost.
Speaker 1: Came into that somebody's saying goodbye to Utah because they
Speaker 1: don't have a chance against Bill's wagon.
Speaker 2: Buy monogamous, non monogamous mouth breathing the intererthals
