WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:03.359 So a few times a year. Cam. I know that 2 00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:05.599 this is your first season of Inside the Paint. You've 3 00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:09.000 had several first You had your first curb your enthusiasm 4 00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:12.359 intro a couple of shows ago. But here's another first 5 00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.480 for you. The Jayhawks are good for a handful of 6 00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:18.079 they won, but it honestly kind of felt like a 7 00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:21.440 lost type shows every season, and this is your first 8 00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:25.000 one of those. Welcome to that club where Kansas beat 9 00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:29.120 a horrendous basketball team by just a few possessions, and 10 00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:31.120 we're gonna come in here and be like, so what 11 00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:34.520 do you think? And we're gonna have forty minutes of eh. 12 00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:36.560 I mean, I guess yeah. 13 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:38.640 I'm just gonna be foaming to the mouth thinking of words. 14 00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:40.600 By the way, I just saw John Caliperry come across 15 00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.000 the TV screen. Dude look so good in a suit. 16 00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:45.560 I kind of think Billsof needs to bring back the suits. 17 00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:48.359 I feel like that's what's missing on this team. 18 00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:51.079 I've seen that take a few times. And of course 19 00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.200 whenever they wore suits, people said they shouldn't. Landon was 20 00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.439 always a sucker for that. Landon you always said that 21 00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:58.320 you liked how the look of the suit. 22 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.200 I'm very pro suit. I think it looks good like 23 00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.400 ninety nine percent of the time, and I'm willing to 24 00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:06.319 sacrifice that one percent for the rest. 25 00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:10.079 How many times and you guys's lives have you worn 26 00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.560 a suit? I think I'm at about four like. 27 00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:16.319 A legitim more than that for sure, but I don't. 28 00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:18.439 I'm not a suit guy. I mean I've been thinking 29 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.319 like jacket. I mean, i'd wear a sport coat like 30 00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:24.480 presentations in college, but like actual suit. I was. I 31 00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:26.640 was best man in my buddy's wedding. Here you know what, 32 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:28.959 screw it, here's storytime for you guys. I was best 33 00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:31.200 man in my buddy's wedding and I tried to get 34 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:35.040 myself lubricated with anti anxiety medicine also known as whiskey, 35 00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.359 and I had to get up there and give a speech, 36 00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.200 and I miscalculated the amount that I had consumed, and 37 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.000 by the time I got up there, I was speaking 38 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.519 in Latin. And man, did I give a speech? 39 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:47.599 We need to hear that speech? 40 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:48.359 It's online. 41 00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:51.280 I'm not even a speech that we maybe need to 42 00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.760 hear that speech. In the locker room. After Kansas beat A, 43 00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:57.560 I tried to test with one since Christmas Colorado team. 44 00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:01.799 How many times have you worn I am I'm gonna 45 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.879 say a suit classifies as a you have to wear 46 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.840 a tie and a sports jacket at minimum. That's that 47 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:08.800 constitutes suit. 48 00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:12.400 Does a does like a vest? Count? 49 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:14.000 Yeah? 50 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:16.280 I don't know, CA, Okay, you're gonna count that. 51 00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:17.080 Yeah, that's. 52 00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:21.360 Probably ten times. 53 00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:23.919 Wow, Well that's so pretty good. 54 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:28.439 A couple couple dances back in the day, several weddings. 55 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.680 I'm not a suit guy. I am a I I I. 56 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:36.319 Whenever it's time to hand pick my next profession, I 57 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.319 look for the jobs where I do not have to 58 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.400 wear anything more than business casual clothes because that's not happening, 59 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.280 which is probably the way college basketball is gone too. 60 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.919 They just wear business casual clothes now on the sideline 61 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:49.840 if they probably were less than that. It's a quarter 62 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:51.960 zip right with the Jayhawk logo on it, with an 63 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:53.120 Adidas logo on it. 64 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:53.919 At this point. 65 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:58.000 Oh, and I want to just conservative dads. 66 00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.520 Everywhere before where we get into the basketball. I just 67 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.319 want to open up this podcast by saying, if you 68 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.879 live in the Midwest, you've probably experienced some snow here 69 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:08.680 in the last couple of days, so we may as 70 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.319 well just go ahead and give one big you to 71 00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:17.240 all meteorologists. If you are a meteorology, okay, holding I 72 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.560 hold your horses land And if you are a meteorologist, 73 00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:21.919 then you listen to this podcast. Then first of all, 74 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:28.000 go yourself because I hate all meteorologists. They are the worst. 75 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:29.719 Second worst job in the world. 76 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.240 Kickersists. 77 00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:37.080 Third, take the takes of Ryan Landrath do not represent 78 00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:38.319 all those inside the paint. 79 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:39.479 I'm fine personally. 80 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.439 Well, let me tell you what a meteorologist does. So 81 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.639 a meteorologist, speaking of suits, they wear their suits usually 82 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.919 their big exuberant colors or their you know, they try 83 00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.080 to have their sense of pizazz. So they get on 84 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.400 the TV about thirty days before it's there's a chance 85 00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:58.759 of snow, and they say, and then make sure you 86 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.280 put a coat on those cause it's gonna be cold 87 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.159 at the bus stop. Gee thinks, never would have thoughts 88 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.199 put a coat of my kid in the middle of December. 89 00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.360 Then when the snowstorm approaches, they hype it up like 90 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.240 it's a Super Bowl. You gotta stay tuned now this 91 00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.199 local affiliate and we'll make sure we get you through 92 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:19.160 the storm. Then they call for a huge amount of snow, 93 00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.639 and then forty eight hours before it's supposed to snow, 94 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:24.160 they lessen it, and then the night before they lessen 95 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.600 it some more, and then the day of it doesn't 96 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.319 snow very much, and they get on TV and use 97 00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.959 a bunch of big words. They're like, well, this is 98 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:36.839 a very rare phenomena where the pressure combined with the 99 00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:40.120 front and that actually made it so it snowed less 100 00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.680 than what the models were shown. When all I want 101 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.680 to see just once is one of those absolute now 102 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.040 the broken sound boards really killing my vibe. Clowns get 103 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.079 on TV and say, you know what, I it up. 104 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:55.439 I said it was gonna snow a lot and it didn't, 105 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:59.319 and you all believed me. I suck balls. But no, 106 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:04.120 they never do. They never do. I hate meteorologists every 107 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.160 bit as much as I hate kickers. True story. 108 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:07.399 One side. 109 00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:11.199 Okay, so let me ask you what what's the profession 110 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:12.879 that you think is good and cool? 111 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:13.959 Uh? 112 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:20.639 Think about this that sounds that sounds stressful? Cam a 113 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.720 job that I think is cool or. 114 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.439 Good or like actually useful or the people who do 115 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:28.439 it are worthwhile? Is there one? 116 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:28.600 Oh? 117 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.839 I mean, I mean police officers feel pretty important, right, 118 00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:39.199 like we can question plenty of execute depression, but like 119 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.839 we acknowledge that that too, we acknowledge that police officers 120 00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:47.319 are both important and appreciated. I guess I'll say them 121 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.759 because if they're wrong, they don't just get to get 122 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:53.199 up there and said, well, it's very rare. I actually 123 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.800 I don't want anyone to comment on this because we 124 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.319 could go one hundred different directions with this. This is 125 00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.639 the Inside the Paint podcast. And you want to know 126 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.240 a profession I respect head coach for the University of Alabama. 127 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.480 That's who I respect, and that's who I want to 128 00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:10.279 coach in Lawrence very soon. This is IICPM Ryan. 129 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:14.800 Landred uh kJ Adams is to Bill self as Ryan 130 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.680 Landreth is to NATO's Yes, I'm Landing Fields. 131 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.040 Yeah, now I'm cam. I have nothing to add to 132 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:21.759 this conversation. 133 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.160 So we're gonna talk about Kansas beating Colorado by a 134 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.519 dozen points and no, they were definitely not favored by 135 00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.319 that few of points. And we're gonna probably put lipstick 136 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.079 on that turn, and then we're gonna tell you why 137 00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.240 it's all gonna be okay. Then we're gonna talk about 138 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.360 a bunch of big twelve games that were way more 139 00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:40.319 fun than that one, and a bunch of other games 140 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:42.240 that were way more fun than that one. And then 141 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.279 we're gonna talk about Utah, which is not going to 142 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:45.920 be fun. I don't know if they're gonna lose or 143 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.160 I don't know if they're gonna win by a small amount, 144 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:51.279 but it's not going to be fun regardless. And uh, yeah, 145 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:53.839 found Tid's Days this week. Cam. We thought that we'd 146 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:56.120 miss you the whole show. Yeah, you're actually not going 147 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:57.920 to be You're not gonna miss as much time as 148 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.000 we thought. So I'll ask you what we talked about 149 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.000 on the last show. Are you a Valentine's Day guy? 150 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.360 I'm kind of in between. I've had my fair share 151 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:07.279 of Valentine's Day where I was single. I've had, you know, 152 00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.480 very few where I have been a committed man on 153 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.120 like Tiger Woods. Right now, I'm kind of hanging out. 154 00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:16.560 Things are fine. I'm getting snowed in, I'm across from 155 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.439 a dairy queen. I'm hoping no one drives through my 156 00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:21.199 living room tonight and tomorrow I make a journey up 157 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:23.160 to Michigan to see the ladies. So things are fine. 158 00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.920 I think it's all right, all right, Well, that's. 159 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:29.480 That's a pretty good n Where do you stand on 160 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:31.639 the you have to send flowers to your mom or 161 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:33.879 you're going to go straight to hell stance that Ryan hold? 162 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.120 I mean, dude, I'm in like Dante's Seventh Ring of 163 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:38.319 Inferno if that's the case. I don't think I've ever 164 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:40.800 sent a I sent my mom a Hallmark card this year. 165 00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:42.639 You know what's funny about this, and this is a 166 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.079 true story. I after like two beers, I went on 167 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.519 the Internet, which just terrible start to a story for anyone, 168 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:48.920 and then I went to Hallmark and I was like, 169 00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:50.639 I probably should send my mom a card. So I 170 00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:52.560 sent her a card, and then I thought the United 171 00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:55.439 States Postal Service didn't get it to her, and I 172 00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.879 was about to commit just domestic terrorism against a maleman today, 173 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:04.480 But it actually got there and everything's fine, So it's okay. 174 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:06.839 It wouldn't be the first time somebody wanted to commit 175 00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:11.199 domestic terrorism against the USPS, because that's you want. You 176 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:14.560 want to talk about meteorologists. The USPS is in that 177 00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:15.279 tier as well. 178 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.519 Ryan legitimately goes on these things where he's like, guys, 179 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:21.600 I don't know about you. I think all meteorologists, all 180 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.800 certain commentators should be shot through the forehead. And then 181 00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:26.920 like a week later, he's like, guys, I I just 182 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.600 don't understand what I did. Like I don't think I'm 183 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.080 on an apology arc again, like I didn't deserve this. 184 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:39.480 And then so instead of airhorns, maybe I'll just use 185 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.879 gunshots because apparently that's what I'm looking for. 186 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:46.000 Hold my microphone out of my window. Number. 187 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:57.000 That's pretty funny between They're the dairy Queen and oh look. 188 00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:58.960 Someone on the dairy Queen. They must have give him 189 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:00.759 the wrong blizzard. We're in a blizzard. 190 00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:05.039 That's bars Cam. 191 00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:06.240 Yeah. 192 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:09.399 Sorry, welcome back to mental. 193 00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:13.399 You're an important part of this production, and I'm reminded 194 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:22.159 of liability. Don't have of why? All right, let's pull 195 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.200 it together and see if we can talk about this 196 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:29.440 This one number seventeen Kansas seventy one, Colorado fifty nine. Cam, 197 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:30.840 you missed the last show, so I feel like it's 198 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:32.799 only fair you gotta read the game story from this 199 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:35.679 game that we may have already forgotten happened. 200 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:37.799 Yeah, honestly, after I watched this game, I think I 201 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.279 might be illiterate. Now, the Jayhawks were in control of 202 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:42.919 the entire game, leading for the last thirty four minutes. 203 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:44.960 It led by seven to ten points for most of 204 00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:47.320 that stretch, which would be fine to most circumstances, but 205 00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:51.200 considering their opponent was Colorado not coached by Dion Sanders 206 00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.840 that hasn't won a game since before Christmas, didn't leave 207 00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:57.240 the fans the most satisfied. Just like franfres Schill's wife. 208 00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:00.399 The end result was an uninspiring but defensively sound twelve 209 00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:01.000 point win. 210 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.759 Oh he's great Land And whenever I write the little 211 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:07.120 blurb that that recaps the game and the highlight is 212 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.360 that was a defensively sound win. 213 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:14.320 Yeah, that's what. If you know anything about us as 214 00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:16.840 a show, that is what we are about. Hep is 215 00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:20.480 defensively sound wins in the in the low seventies to 216 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:26.639 high fifties. What a what A? What a boring? Boring 217 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:27.679 basketball game? 218 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:28.879 This? 219 00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:32.039 I also am good for at least one game a 220 00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:35.519 year that I watch. Well, this is the first college 221 00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:37.639 basketball season I do not live at my parents' house. 222 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.360 Full disclosure, I guess, but I'm good for at least 223 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:42.279 one game a year where my sister and I end 224 00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:45.440 up having a way more interesting fun conversation than the 225 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.360 basketball game. And that was also this where we were 226 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:51.840 discussing Kendrick Lamar and doing stupid bits to our parents 227 00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:55.639 who are also there for most of the first half. 228 00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:59.840 Way better than Kansas seventy one Colorado fifty nine the 229 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:05.679 last I likened this game too, and this is probably wrong, 230 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.320 but this, this was my feeling watching this game. I 231 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:12.399 likened it in the chat to the BYU game last 232 00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:15.360 year yea, where we just came to the full realization 233 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:18.919 that the team was pretty juiceless. And that's kind of 234 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.360 what this felt like, was I mean. And even on 235 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.240 the last show, we said one of these games is 236 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:27.320 probably gonna be close and the other one is probably 237 00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:28.960 gonna be a blowout. And I guess if this is 238 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.399 the close game, then that's fine, and they'll go beating 239 00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:35.639 on by forty or whatever in Boulder. But this like deeply, 240 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:40.399 deeply uninspiring game. Despite the win. They did enough, but 241 00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:44.759 the fact that that never looked great against Colorado in 242 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:47.519 Allenfield House is not really what I was hoping for 243 00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:49.440 on my Tuesday night cam. 244 00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:51.879 I feel like that in the past, with teams that 245 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.679 win seventy five eighty percent of their big twelve games, 246 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:57.799 they win the title. They are a one or two seed. 247 00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.639 I feel like we would have looked at a game 248 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:02.639 like this, it happened a couple times a year and like, 249 00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:05.080 oh they were an eighteen point favorite, they won by twelve. 250 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.159 It happens. But I feel like that this team is 251 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:10.440 just screaming for a performance that leaves the fans going, 252 00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:13.399 all right, now they're back on track. I don't think 253 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:17.519 they've won back to back games since it's it's been 254 00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:19.279 close to a month since they won back to back. 255 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:20.080 That's crazy. 256 00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:23.879 Juiceless is a good word land and used. I guess 257 00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:26.039 that this isn't a lot of juice here, either from 258 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:29.240 the fans or from the guys on the court. No. 259 00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:30.639 I mean, I think it's hard for the fans to 260 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:32.600 get super excited about this team. And I actually was 261 00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:35.440 talking to my dad earlier today and he was like, yeah, 262 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:38.639 you know, they have the talent where they could definitely 263 00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:40.720 make a run in March. And I asked him, I 264 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:42.879 was like, when was the last time that you felt 265 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.799 Kansas could win six straight coin flip games? Let's say five, 266 00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:48.840 because they have you know, the first round game they 267 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.120 should win. And he was like, actually, Yeah, they're cooked. 268 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:55.960 The game is just boring. I mean it's it's one 269 00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:58.320 of those things like you said in the years past. Yeah, 270 00:12:58.360 --> 00:12:59.960 it'd be like, ah, they fell asleep with the week 271 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.159 they played Colorado. Colorado's terrible. It doesn't matter. Now. It's 272 00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:06.240 like we haven't felt like they had a really standout 273 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:09.720 performance since probably UCF on the road. 274 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:12.360 I'll give them that with Iowa State, but that I 275 00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:17.080 think maybe more so we all thought was Iowa State 276 00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:21.000 playing the worst game of their season more than Kansas 277 00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:24.480 just looking right? Yeah, I think that was UCF. I 278 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.759 think classifies. I think Houston would have done it if 279 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:27.960 they didn't gag it twice. 280 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:30.600 I agree. By the way, you were totally right when 281 00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:32.919 you said the trajectory of this team is like the 282 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:35.919 was it the twenty one team where it was they 283 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:38.720 they won some games. You guys nailed it on that. 284 00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:40.279 I did listen, I did my homework. 285 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:44.399 Yeah, they're gonna they're gonna win some games. I mean, 286 00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:46.039 you look at what this team has coming down the 287 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.639 shoot at Utah, a team that's basically exactly TCU according 288 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:52.720 to the Ken Palm numbers. That should be a game 289 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:54.600 that you win. You're gonna be a six or seven 290 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:57.799 point favorite in that game at BYU. That's tough, but 291 00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:01.000 they have they have a five hundred league record. Then 292 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:04.759 you have home games against what it's Oklahoma State at 293 00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:08.559 Colorado like and then Texas Tech at home, who is good, 294 00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:09.240 but still it's. 295 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:09.559 A home game. 296 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:12.960 You're gonna be favored there. Like you know, there's plenty 297 00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:15.759 that would lead you to believe that this is going 298 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:19.039 to be a stretch where Kansas wins, you know, five 299 00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:21.480 of six or something like that. I don't know if 300 00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:24.080 you're gonna see enough in those wins to feel like, 301 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:26.879 all right, they've got it. I feel like this team 302 00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:31.279 is cruising and firing on all cylinders. And certainly there 303 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:33.799 was a path in this stretch of games where we 304 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.440 would be saying that, like what land And said in 305 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.559 the last show, if they win these games by twenty 306 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.080 thirty points, then sure. But opening up with a twelve 307 00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:43.759 point victory as a seventeen point favorite at home on 308 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:46.600 a sleepy Tuesday night is not the start that you 309 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:49.519 were looking for if you were entering this stretch begging 310 00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:53.240 for this team to show you something to make you 311 00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:56.039 think they could get back in it. Landon Hunter Dickinson. 312 00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:59.559 He was Kansas's leading scorer in this game, finished with 313 00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:02.480 nineteen points added nine rebounds. He had a very good 314 00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:06.120 shooting percentage eight for eleven, but there were some downsides. 315 00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:08.559 He missed three of his six free throws. He led 316 00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:11.120 the team with three turnovers. He didn't play very well 317 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:13.600 in the defensive end. This is a Colorado team that 318 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:15.200 doesn't have a lot of strengths, but they do have 319 00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:17.360 a lot of size, and they had a couple different 320 00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:20.200 types of bodies down there that would you know. They 321 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:22.960 had an athletic big, they had a stockier big that 322 00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:26.240 gave Flory all sorts of trouble. It wasn't the easiest 323 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.559 matchup for Hunter. He got you nineteen and nine, But 324 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:30.240 I don't know, does it leave you a lot to 325 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:32.519 be desired or is that just something? Is this Hunter 326 00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:35.000 Dickinson being a victim of his own success when we 327 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:36.399 were like nineteen to nine. 328 00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:40.279 Eh, Yeah, I definitely think this is largely a victim 329 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:42.799 of his own success kind of game. Yeah, in nineteen 330 00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:49.279 to ninety he was still largely quite good. I it's 331 00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:52.919 it's just a very Hunter Dickinson performance. It's a lot 332 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:56.320 of numbers that I'm not quite sure what they mean. Yeah, 333 00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:59.240 I'm not quite sure how it fits still, and that 334 00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:01.840 is sort of the resounding thing with his team in general, 335 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:05.879 which we will we will talk about more. We will 336 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:08.840 talk about more with one particular player. Boy, does that 337 00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:09.639 guy have energy? 338 00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:10.039 Just wait? 339 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:14.720 But yeah, Hunter's good. Hunter is clearly good. He is 340 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:18.519 the most reliable player on this team. And that's been 341 00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:22.279 true for two years now. So yeah, this is this 342 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:23.720 is what he This is what he is. I don't 343 00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:25.039 really have a lot more to add, Cam, do you 344 00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:27.919 have any spicy Hunter Dickinson takes here. 345 00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:30.360 He's a good player, but we always wonder if it's 346 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:30.960 just stats. 347 00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:35.080 All right, let's talk about kJ then, because kJ adams 348 00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:37.360 box score has lots of stats. He had a very 349 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.879 good statistical performance in this game. Ten points, five rebounds, 350 00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:44.399 five assists, three steals and a team leading thirty three minutes. 351 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:46.960 I know that there's a lot of dialogue here. kJ 352 00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:49.559 was five for seven from the floor. I put Flori's 353 00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:52.080 numbers in there. I'll get to flories later. Let's have 354 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:56.919 the kJ Adams discourse. Landon, you said that you think 355 00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:59.679 that this was in a group text between the three 356 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:02.759 of us. You said that you finally reached a moment 357 00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:06.000 last night where despite a very good game from kJ, 358 00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:08.920 he was quite possible with the team's best player, especially 359 00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:11.559 on the defensive end. You said that you felt like 360 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:14.759 that it's clear that kJ is holding the team back. 361 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:20.440 Yeah, I do think that ten points, five rebounds, five 362 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:24.880 assists in three steals on five to seven is really good. 363 00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:27.799 Like that is really good. Don't get me wrong, that's 364 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:31.240 a very nice stat line. Most players in college basketball 365 00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:34.799 aren't gonna have that in a given season. It's really nice. 366 00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:40.160 But Cam is typing right now that that is your 367 00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:44.680 career peak against a horrible Colorado team. Now, K just 368 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:49.079 had better games in a vacuum than this. But that's 369 00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:50.400 also sort of the thing. A little bit of the 370 00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:53.240 discourse here is like, but kJ Adams was really really good. Yeah, 371 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.079 he was pretty good in this game. But it's against 372 00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:00.440 a terrible team. Since when did big numbers against terrible 373 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.440 teams me and a guy was a great player. Sometimes 374 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:09.000 it does, sometimes it doesn't. kJ Adams is a good 375 00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:12.079 basketball player. He's he's good at a couple of things. 376 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:17.200 And I know, I know what Bill self said about 377 00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:22.200 energy and about needing this team to I don't even know, 378 00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:24.759 run wind sprints or something more. 379 00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:29.599 They have an energy points tracker. In practice, they dive 380 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:32.079 on the floor, they get a point, and kJ leads 381 00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:33.440 the team and now that's awesome. 382 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:36.480 Bill Sooff is one mini stroke away from putting up 383 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:40.920 kJ Adams ran a wind sprint faster than everyone else 384 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.480 Banner and Allen field House then adding names. 385 00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:47.559 To so Camp, what are those? 386 00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:49.839 What are the energy points to get them? Like free? 387 00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:53.000 Like you know it gets them a four seed in 388 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:55.200 the Midwest where they get boat raced by a five 389 00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:57.440 seed Illinois. We know how this is. 390 00:18:57.559 --> 00:18:59.640 I was gonna say it. I was gonna say it's 391 00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:01.799 a termine how long your leash is for getting pulled 392 00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:03.720 for missing shots? But that works too, Cam, they're more 393 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:06.039 or less two in the same seams. Cam, what would 394 00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:08.799 you say? So the most common response that I got, 395 00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:11.759 because I share land and sentiment, that is more or 396 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:14.960 less what I said on Twitter. I said, I'm glad 397 00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:17.359 kJ had ten five and five against an zero to 398 00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:21.200 twelve Colorado team when they won by twelve. But you're 399 00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:26.839 not You are not going to reach a ceiling that 400 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.640 this fan base believe this team could reach. With kJ 401 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.400
