Speaker 1: So a few times a year. Cam. I know that
Speaker 1: this is your first season of Inside the Paint. You've
Speaker 1: had several first You had your first curb your enthusiasm
Speaker 1: intro a couple of shows ago. But here's another first
Speaker 1: for you. The Jayhawks are good for a handful of
Speaker 1: they won, but it honestly kind of felt like a
Speaker 1: lost type shows every season, and this is your first
Speaker 1: one of those. Welcome to that club where Kansas beat
Speaker 1: a horrendous basketball team by just a few possessions, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna come in here and be like, so what
Speaker 1: do you think? And we're gonna have forty minutes of eh.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna be foaming to the mouth thinking of words.
Speaker 2: By the way, I just saw John Caliperry come across
Speaker 2: the TV screen. Dude look so good in a suit.
Speaker 2: I kind of think Billsof needs to bring back the suits.
Speaker 2: I feel like that's what's missing on this team.
Speaker 1: I've seen that take a few times. And of course
Speaker 1: whenever they wore suits, people said they shouldn't. Landon was
Speaker 1: always a sucker for that. Landon you always said that
Speaker 1: you liked how the look of the suit.
Speaker 3: I'm very pro suit. I think it looks good like
Speaker 3: ninety nine percent of the time, and I'm willing to
Speaker 3: sacrifice that one percent for the rest.
Speaker 1: How many times and you guys's lives have you worn
Speaker 1: a suit? I think I'm at about four like.
Speaker 2: A legitim more than that for sure, but I don't.
Speaker 2: I'm not a suit guy. I mean I've been thinking
Speaker 2: like jacket. I mean, i'd wear a sport coat like
Speaker 2: presentations in college, but like actual suit. I was. I
Speaker 2: was best man in my buddy's wedding. Here you know what,
Speaker 2: screw it, here's storytime for you guys. I was best
Speaker 2: man in my buddy's wedding and I tried to get
Speaker 2: myself lubricated with anti anxiety medicine also known as whiskey,
Speaker 2: and I had to get up there and give a speech,
Speaker 2: and I miscalculated the amount that I had consumed, and
Speaker 2: by the time I got up there, I was speaking
Speaker 2: in Latin. And man, did I give a speech?
Speaker 1: We need to hear that speech?
Speaker 2: It's online.
Speaker 1: I'm not even a speech that we maybe need to
Speaker 1: hear that speech. In the locker room. After Kansas beat A,
Speaker 1: I tried to test with one since Christmas Colorado team.
Speaker 1: How many times have you worn I am I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say a suit classifies as a you have to wear
Speaker 1: a tie and a sports jacket at minimum. That's that
Speaker 1: constitutes suit.
Speaker 3: Does a does like a vest? Count?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't know, CA, Okay, you're gonna count that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's.
Speaker 3: Probably ten times.
Speaker 2: Wow, Well that's so pretty good.
Speaker 3: A couple couple dances back in the day, several weddings.
Speaker 1: I'm not a suit guy. I am a I I I.
Speaker 1: Whenever it's time to hand pick my next profession, I
Speaker 1: look for the jobs where I do not have to
Speaker 1: wear anything more than business casual clothes because that's not happening,
Speaker 1: which is probably the way college basketball is gone too.
Speaker 1: They just wear business casual clothes now on the sideline
Speaker 1: if they probably were less than that. It's a quarter
Speaker 1: zip right with the Jayhawk logo on it, with an
Speaker 1: Adidas logo on it.
Speaker 2: At this point.
Speaker 3: Oh, and I want to just conservative dads.
Speaker 1: Everywhere before where we get into the basketball. I just
Speaker 1: want to open up this podcast by saying, if you
Speaker 1: live in the Midwest, you've probably experienced some snow here
Speaker 1: in the last couple of days, so we may as
Speaker 1: well just go ahead and give one big you to
Speaker 1: all meteorologists. If you are a meteorology, okay, holding I
Speaker 1: hold your horses land And if you are a meteorologist,
Speaker 1: then you listen to this podcast. Then first of all,
Speaker 1: go yourself because I hate all meteorologists. They are the worst.
Speaker 1: Second worst job in the world.
Speaker 2: Kickersists.
Speaker 3: Third, take the takes of Ryan Landrath do not represent
Speaker 3: all those inside the paint.
Speaker 2: I'm fine personally.
Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you what a meteorologist does. So
Speaker 1: a meteorologist, speaking of suits, they wear their suits usually
Speaker 1: their big exuberant colors or their you know, they try
Speaker 1: to have their sense of pizazz. So they get on
Speaker 1: the TV about thirty days before it's there's a chance
Speaker 1: of snow, and they say, and then make sure you
Speaker 1: put a coat on those cause it's gonna be cold
Speaker 1: at the bus stop. Gee thinks, never would have thoughts
Speaker 1: put a coat of my kid in the middle of December.
Speaker 1: Then when the snowstorm approaches, they hype it up like
Speaker 1: it's a Super Bowl. You gotta stay tuned now this
Speaker 1: local affiliate and we'll make sure we get you through
Speaker 1: the storm. Then they call for a huge amount of snow,
Speaker 1: and then forty eight hours before it's supposed to snow,
Speaker 1: they lessen it, and then the night before they lessen
Speaker 1: it some more, and then the day of it doesn't
Speaker 1: snow very much, and they get on TV and use
Speaker 1: a bunch of big words. They're like, well, this is
Speaker 1: a very rare phenomena where the pressure combined with the
Speaker 1: front and that actually made it so it snowed less
Speaker 1: than what the models were shown. When all I want
Speaker 1: to see just once is one of those absolute now
Speaker 1: the broken sound boards really killing my vibe. Clowns get
Speaker 1: on TV and say, you know what, I it up.
Speaker 1: I said it was gonna snow a lot and it didn't,
Speaker 1: and you all believed me. I suck balls. But no,
Speaker 1: they never do. They never do. I hate meteorologists every
Speaker 1: bit as much as I hate kickers. True story.
Speaker 2: One side.
Speaker 3: Okay, so let me ask you what what's the profession
Speaker 3: that you think is good and cool?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Think about this that sounds that sounds stressful? Cam a
Speaker 1: job that I think is cool or.
Speaker 3: Good or like actually useful or the people who do
Speaker 3: it are worthwhile? Is there one?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean police officers feel pretty important, right,
Speaker 1: like we can question plenty of execute depression, but like
Speaker 1: we acknowledge that that too, we acknowledge that police officers
Speaker 1: are both important and appreciated. I guess I'll say them
Speaker 1: because if they're wrong, they don't just get to get
Speaker 1: up there and said, well, it's very rare. I actually
Speaker 1: I don't want anyone to comment on this because we
Speaker 1: could go one hundred different directions with this. This is
Speaker 1: the Inside the Paint podcast. And you want to know
Speaker 1: a profession I respect head coach for the University of Alabama.
Speaker 1: That's who I respect, and that's who I want to
Speaker 1: coach in Lawrence very soon. This is IICPM Ryan.
Speaker 3: Landred uh kJ Adams is to Bill self as Ryan
Speaker 3: Landreth is to NATO's Yes, I'm Landing Fields.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now I'm cam. I have nothing to add to
Speaker 2: this conversation.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about Kansas beating Colorado by a
Speaker 1: dozen points and no, they were definitely not favored by
Speaker 1: that few of points. And we're gonna probably put lipstick
Speaker 1: on that turn, and then we're gonna tell you why
Speaker 1: it's all gonna be okay. Then we're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: a bunch of big twelve games that were way more
Speaker 1: fun than that one, and a bunch of other games
Speaker 1: that were way more fun than that one. And then
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about Utah, which is not going to
Speaker 1: be fun. I don't know if they're gonna lose or
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna win by a small amount,
Speaker 1: but it's not going to be fun regardless. And uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: found Tid's Days this week. Cam. We thought that we'd
Speaker 1: miss you the whole show. Yeah, you're actually not going
Speaker 1: to be You're not gonna miss as much time as
Speaker 1: we thought. So I'll ask you what we talked about
Speaker 1: on the last show. Are you a Valentine's Day guy?
Speaker 2: I'm kind of in between. I've had my fair share
Speaker 2: of Valentine's Day where I was single. I've had, you know,
Speaker 2: very few where I have been a committed man on
Speaker 2: like Tiger Woods. Right now, I'm kind of hanging out.
Speaker 2: Things are fine. I'm getting snowed in, I'm across from
Speaker 2: a dairy queen. I'm hoping no one drives through my
Speaker 2: living room tonight and tomorrow I make a journey up
Speaker 2: to Michigan to see the ladies. So things are fine.
Speaker 2: I think it's all right, all right, Well, that's.
Speaker 3: That's a pretty good n Where do you stand on
Speaker 3: the you have to send flowers to your mom or
Speaker 3: you're going to go straight to hell stance that Ryan hold?
Speaker 2: I mean, dude, I'm in like Dante's Seventh Ring of
Speaker 2: Inferno if that's the case. I don't think I've ever
Speaker 2: sent a I sent my mom a Hallmark card this year.
Speaker 2: You know what's funny about this, and this is a
Speaker 2: true story. I after like two beers, I went on
Speaker 2: the Internet, which just terrible start to a story for anyone,
Speaker 2: and then I went to Hallmark and I was like,
Speaker 2: I probably should send my mom a card. So I
Speaker 2: sent her a card, and then I thought the United
Speaker 2: States Postal Service didn't get it to her, and I
Speaker 2: was about to commit just domestic terrorism against a maleman today,
Speaker 2: But it actually got there and everything's fine, So it's okay.
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be the first time somebody wanted to commit
Speaker 1: domestic terrorism against the USPS, because that's you want. You
Speaker 1: want to talk about meteorologists. The USPS is in that
Speaker 1: tier as well.
Speaker 2: Ryan legitimately goes on these things where he's like, guys,
Speaker 2: I don't know about you. I think all meteorologists, all
Speaker 2: certain commentators should be shot through the forehead. And then
Speaker 2: like a week later, he's like, guys, I I just
Speaker 2: don't understand what I did. Like I don't think I'm
Speaker 2: on an apology arc again, like I didn't deserve this.
Speaker 1: And then so instead of airhorns, maybe I'll just use
Speaker 1: gunshots because apparently that's what I'm looking for.
Speaker 2: Hold my microphone out of my window. Number.
Speaker 1: That's pretty funny between They're the dairy Queen and oh look.
Speaker 2: Someone on the dairy Queen. They must have give him
Speaker 2: the wrong blizzard. We're in a blizzard.
Speaker 3: That's bars Cam.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Sorry, welcome back to mental.
Speaker 1: You're an important part of this production, and I'm reminded
Speaker 1: of liability. Don't have of why? All right, let's pull
Speaker 1: it together and see if we can talk about this
Speaker 1: This one number seventeen Kansas seventy one, Colorado fifty nine. Cam,
Speaker 1: you missed the last show, so I feel like it's
Speaker 1: only fair you gotta read the game story from this
Speaker 1: game that we may have already forgotten happened.
Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, after I watched this game, I think I
Speaker 2: might be illiterate. Now, the Jayhawks were in control of
Speaker 2: the entire game, leading for the last thirty four minutes.
Speaker 2: It led by seven to ten points for most of
Speaker 2: that stretch, which would be fine to most circumstances, but
Speaker 2: considering their opponent was Colorado not coached by Dion Sanders
Speaker 2: that hasn't won a game since before Christmas, didn't leave
Speaker 2: the fans the most satisfied. Just like franfres Schill's wife.
Speaker 2: The end result was an uninspiring but defensively sound twelve
Speaker 2: point win.
Speaker 1: Oh he's great Land And whenever I write the little
Speaker 1: blurb that that recaps the game and the highlight is
Speaker 1: that was a defensively sound win.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what. If you know anything about us as
Speaker 3: a show, that is what we are about. Hep is
Speaker 3: defensively sound wins in the in the low seventies to
Speaker 3: high fifties. What a what A? What a boring? Boring
Speaker 3: basketball game?
Speaker 1: This?
Speaker 3: I also am good for at least one game a
Speaker 3: year that I watch. Well, this is the first college
Speaker 3: basketball season I do not live at my parents' house.
Speaker 3: Full disclosure, I guess, but I'm good for at least
Speaker 3: one game a year where my sister and I end
Speaker 3: up having a way more interesting fun conversation than the
Speaker 3: basketball game. And that was also this where we were
Speaker 3: discussing Kendrick Lamar and doing stupid bits to our parents
Speaker 3: who are also there for most of the first half.
Speaker 3: Way better than Kansas seventy one Colorado fifty nine the
Speaker 3: last I likened this game too, and this is probably wrong,
Speaker 3: but this, this was my feeling watching this game. I
Speaker 3: likened it in the chat to the BYU game last
Speaker 3: year yea, where we just came to the full realization
Speaker 3: that the team was pretty juiceless. And that's kind of
Speaker 3: what this felt like, was I mean. And even on
Speaker 3: the last show, we said one of these games is
Speaker 3: probably gonna be close and the other one is probably
Speaker 3: gonna be a blowout. And I guess if this is
Speaker 3: the close game, then that's fine, and they'll go beating
Speaker 3: on by forty or whatever in Boulder. But this like deeply,
Speaker 3: deeply uninspiring game. Despite the win. They did enough, but
Speaker 3: the fact that that never looked great against Colorado in
Speaker 3: Allenfield House is not really what I was hoping for
Speaker 3: on my Tuesday night cam.
Speaker 1: I feel like that in the past, with teams that
Speaker 1: win seventy five eighty percent of their big twelve games,
Speaker 1: they win the title. They are a one or two seed.
Speaker 1: I feel like we would have looked at a game
Speaker 1: like this, it happened a couple times a year and like,
Speaker 1: oh they were an eighteen point favorite, they won by twelve.
Speaker 1: It happens. But I feel like that this team is
Speaker 1: just screaming for a performance that leaves the fans going,
Speaker 1: all right, now they're back on track. I don't think
Speaker 1: they've won back to back games since it's it's been
Speaker 1: close to a month since they won back to back.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: Juiceless is a good word land and used. I guess
Speaker 1: that this isn't a lot of juice here, either from
Speaker 1: the fans or from the guys on the court. No.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's hard for the fans to
Speaker 2: get super excited about this team. And I actually was
Speaker 2: talking to my dad earlier today and he was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, they have the talent where they could definitely
Speaker 2: make a run in March. And I asked him, I
Speaker 2: was like, when was the last time that you felt
Speaker 2: Kansas could win six straight coin flip games? Let's say five,
Speaker 2: because they have you know, the first round game they
Speaker 2: should win. And he was like, actually, Yeah, they're cooked.
Speaker 2: The game is just boring. I mean it's it's one
Speaker 2: of those things like you said in the years past. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it'd be like, ah, they fell asleep with the week
Speaker 2: they played Colorado. Colorado's terrible. It doesn't matter. Now. It's
Speaker 2: like we haven't felt like they had a really standout
Speaker 2: performance since probably UCF on the road.
Speaker 1: I'll give them that with Iowa State, but that I
Speaker 1: think maybe more so we all thought was Iowa State
Speaker 1: playing the worst game of their season more than Kansas
Speaker 1: just looking right? Yeah, I think that was UCF. I
Speaker 1: think classifies. I think Houston would have done it if
Speaker 1: they didn't gag it twice.
Speaker 2: I agree. By the way, you were totally right when
Speaker 2: you said the trajectory of this team is like the
Speaker 2: was it the twenty one team where it was they
Speaker 2: they won some games. You guys nailed it on that.
Speaker 2: I did listen, I did my homework.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're gonna they're gonna win some games. I mean,
Speaker 1: you look at what this team has coming down the
Speaker 1: shoot at Utah, a team that's basically exactly TCU according
Speaker 1: to the Ken Palm numbers. That should be a game
Speaker 1: that you win. You're gonna be a six or seven
Speaker 1: point favorite in that game at BYU. That's tough, but
Speaker 1: they have they have a five hundred league record. Then
Speaker 1: you have home games against what it's Oklahoma State at
Speaker 1: Colorado like and then Texas Tech at home, who is good,
Speaker 1: but still it's.
Speaker 2: A home game.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be favored there. Like you know, there's plenty
Speaker 1: that would lead you to believe that this is going
Speaker 1: to be a stretch where Kansas wins, you know, five
Speaker 1: of six or something like that. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you're gonna see enough in those wins to feel like,
Speaker 1: all right, they've got it. I feel like this team
Speaker 1: is cruising and firing on all cylinders. And certainly there
Speaker 1: was a path in this stretch of games where we
Speaker 1: would be saying that, like what land And said in
Speaker 1: the last show, if they win these games by twenty
Speaker 1: thirty points, then sure. But opening up with a twelve
Speaker 1: point victory as a seventeen point favorite at home on
Speaker 1: a sleepy Tuesday night is not the start that you
Speaker 1: were looking for if you were entering this stretch begging
Speaker 1: for this team to show you something to make you
Speaker 1: think they could get back in it. Landon Hunter Dickinson.
Speaker 1: He was Kansas's leading scorer in this game, finished with
Speaker 1: nineteen points added nine rebounds. He had a very good
Speaker 1: shooting percentage eight for eleven, but there were some downsides.
Speaker 1: He missed three of his six free throws. He led
Speaker 1: the team with three turnovers. He didn't play very well
Speaker 1: in the defensive end. This is a Colorado team that
Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of strengths, but they do have
Speaker 1: a lot of size, and they had a couple different
Speaker 1: types of bodies down there that would you know. They
Speaker 1: had an athletic big, they had a stockier big that
Speaker 1: gave Flory all sorts of trouble. It wasn't the easiest
Speaker 1: matchup for Hunter. He got you nineteen and nine, But
Speaker 1: I don't know, does it leave you a lot to
Speaker 1: be desired or is that just something? Is this Hunter
Speaker 1: Dickinson being a victim of his own success when we
Speaker 1: were like nineteen to nine.
Speaker 3: Eh, Yeah, I definitely think this is largely a victim
Speaker 3: of his own success kind of game. Yeah, in nineteen
Speaker 3: to ninety he was still largely quite good. I it's
Speaker 3: it's just a very Hunter Dickinson performance. It's a lot
Speaker 3: of numbers that I'm not quite sure what they mean. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm not quite sure how it fits still, and that
Speaker 3: is sort of the resounding thing with his team in general,
Speaker 3: which we will we will talk about more. We will
Speaker 3: talk about more with one particular player. Boy, does that
Speaker 3: guy have energy?
Speaker 2: Just wait?
Speaker 3: But yeah, Hunter's good. Hunter is clearly good. He is
Speaker 3: the most reliable player on this team. And that's been
Speaker 3: true for two years now. So yeah, this is this
Speaker 3: is what he This is what he is. I don't
Speaker 3: really have a lot more to add, Cam, do you
Speaker 3: have any spicy Hunter Dickinson takes here.
Speaker 2: He's a good player, but we always wonder if it's
Speaker 2: just stats.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about kJ then, because kJ adams
Speaker 1: box score has lots of stats. He had a very
Speaker 1: good statistical performance in this game. Ten points, five rebounds,
Speaker 1: five assists, three steals and a team leading thirty three minutes.
Speaker 1: I know that there's a lot of dialogue here. kJ
Speaker 1: was five for seven from the floor. I put Flori's
Speaker 1: numbers in there. I'll get to flories later. Let's have
Speaker 1: the kJ Adams discourse. Landon, you said that you think
Speaker 1: that this was in a group text between the three
Speaker 1: of us. You said that you finally reached a moment
Speaker 1: last night where despite a very good game from kJ,
Speaker 1: he was quite possible with the team's best player, especially
Speaker 1: on the defensive end. You said that you felt like
Speaker 1: that it's clear that kJ is holding the team back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do think that ten points, five rebounds, five
Speaker 3: assists in three steals on five to seven is really good.
Speaker 3: Like that is really good. Don't get me wrong, that's
Speaker 3: a very nice stat line. Most players in college basketball
Speaker 3: aren't gonna have that in a given season. It's really nice.
Speaker 3: But Cam is typing right now that that is your
Speaker 3: career peak against a horrible Colorado team. Now, K just
Speaker 3: had better games in a vacuum than this. But that's
Speaker 3: also sort of the thing. A little bit of the
Speaker 3: discourse here is like, but kJ Adams was really really good. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he was pretty good in this game. But it's against
Speaker 3: a terrible team. Since when did big numbers against terrible
Speaker 3: teams me and a guy was a great player. Sometimes
Speaker 3: it does, sometimes it doesn't. kJ Adams is a good
Speaker 3: basketball player. He's he's good at a couple of things.
Speaker 3: And I know, I know what Bill self said about
Speaker 3: energy and about needing this team to I don't even know,
Speaker 3: run wind sprints or something more.
Speaker 1: They have an energy points tracker. In practice, they dive
Speaker 1: on the floor, they get a point, and kJ leads
Speaker 1: the team and now that's awesome.
Speaker 2: Bill Sooff is one mini stroke away from putting up
Speaker 2: kJ Adams ran a wind sprint faster than everyone else
Speaker 2: Banner and Allen field House then adding names.
Speaker 1: To so Camp, what are those?
Speaker 3: What are the energy points to get them? Like free?
Speaker 2: Like you know it gets them a four seed in
Speaker 2: the Midwest where they get boat raced by a five
Speaker 2: seed Illinois. We know how this is.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say it. I was gonna say it's
Speaker 1: a termine how long your leash is for getting pulled
Speaker 1: for missing shots? But that works too, Cam, they're more
Speaker 1: or less two in the same seams. Cam, what would
Speaker 1: you say? So the most common response that I got,
Speaker 1: because I share land and sentiment, that is more or
Speaker 1: less what I said on Twitter. I said, I'm glad
Speaker 1: kJ had ten five and five against an zero to
Speaker 1: twelve Colorado team when they won by twelve. But you're
Speaker 1: not You are not going to reach a ceiling that
Speaker 1: this fan base believe this team could reach. With kJ
Speaker 1: Adams leading the team in minutes. So if I were
Speaker 1: to ask you, what is your follow up to this
Speaker 1: question that I received so frequently on Twitter? We have
Speaker 1: to stop blaming kJ Adams for everybody else playing bad. Therefore,
Speaker 1: when he plays well and leads the team and and
Speaker 1: you know, has the best game of the team, we're
Speaker 1: still unhappy the team didn't play well. What's your answer
Speaker 1: to that?
Speaker 2: It's incredibly simple. Okay, here's the deal. kJ Adams had
Speaker 2: a good game last night that culminated in ten points,
Speaker 2: five rebounds, and five assists against possibly the worst Power
Speaker 2: five League team other than De Paul. Awesome. Great. However, However,
Speaker 2: on the bench, you have a potential lottery pick big
Speaker 2: man who's plus minus in Big twelve play is positive
Speaker 2: thirty higher than kJ Adams. You have to play him.
Speaker 2: But it won't matter. We can have this conversation, we
Speaker 2: can complain about it as much as we want. It
Speaker 2: will not matter because Bill self will ride with these
Speaker 2: guys who are currently eighteen and fourteen and Big twelve
Speaker 2: play over the last two seasons until they lose in
Speaker 2: the NCAA tournament. And then he's gonna sniff his butt
Speaker 2: after putting his thumb up there and go boy. I
Speaker 2: don't know what went wrong this year. Guys. I thought
Speaker 2: these three guys are pretty good. I might have to
Speaker 2: go get more guys in the portal. We've seen it.
Speaker 2: This is what's gonna happen. I don't think there is
Speaker 2: a solution. I think it's this is what the team is.
Speaker 2: They are good, but they are so inconsistent that I
Speaker 2: don't have confidence they can make it past the second
Speaker 2: game of the NCAA tournament. Oh.
Speaker 1: I think there definitely is a solution. I think that
Speaker 1: the answer is Flory, but doom getting into the place.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think it almost does feel like Bill would rather
Speaker 1: go down with the ship than than risk something else
Speaker 1: that's not his way, which is a point that a
Speaker 1: lot of coaches get to.
Speaker 3: I was having a I was having a conversation with
Speaker 3: somebody for the game, and if you're that person, I
Speaker 3: have no ill will against you. You know who you are,
Speaker 3: That's totally fine. I'm not going to say who you
Speaker 3: are just to not put you on blast. That's not
Speaker 3: my intent at all. This is just very relevant to
Speaker 3: this conversation. I think it's a very interesting point. It's
Speaker 3: really the only reason I'm bringing up if you're listening.
Speaker 3: You can text me about it. You have my number.
Speaker 3: This this person told me, well, we were debating this point.
Speaker 3: We're debating this exact point after the game, the kJ
Speaker 3: Adams whole thing, kJ Adams, and this person was saying
Speaker 3: that kJ Adams is necessary because of energy. And I
Speaker 3: was saying, kJ Adams does not fit any lineup other
Speaker 3: than playing the solo five man, which you really can't
Speaker 3: do because you have two better five men than kJ
Speaker 3: on the team. That's really the only lineup where he
Speaker 3: really stylistically fits. And this person told me that it's
Speaker 3: not about lineups, it is about this team needing energy.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, okay, yep, sports, you gotta have you
Speaker 3: do have to have an amount of energy. Like undoubtedly,
Speaker 3: you know hustle players as much as we joke about that,
Speaker 3: that those are real things and having energy guys is
Speaker 3: a real thing and that's not valueless and that like
Speaker 3: can work. However, basketball especially is very much about lineups.
Speaker 3: Also saying it needs to be about energy, presupposes that
Speaker 3: these guys are not playing with energy, which like watched
Speaker 3: the games because like I don't know, I really don't
Speaker 3: know what we're watching out here. You know, those guys
Speaker 3: have energy, like those guys are playing with hustle, They're
Speaker 3: playing like high level basketball. This lineups are so so,
Speaker 3: so important, especially in college basketball where the overall skill
Speaker 3: level is moderate to low at times on most teams,
Speaker 3: and you need the five guys on the court to mesh.
Speaker 3: At the same time, I think the idea and also
Speaker 3: just the idea that whatever Bill self says is gospel
Speaker 3: in four seconds after it happens. He's crazy to me
Speaker 3: because Bill self said that is about energy, and I
Speaker 3: understand Bill self is in practice. Bill self sees this team.
Speaker 3: He has the most knowledge on Kansas basketball of anybody,
Speaker 3: but that doesn't make him definitionally correct and every other
Speaker 3: take wrong just because Bill says one thing. This like
Speaker 3: kJ Adams does not fit lineups, he does not fit
Speaker 3: lineups in this basketball team. I know he had good stats,
Speaker 3: and we Chris says hi when he has good sets
Speaker 3: with chritsized when he has bad stats. I know he
Speaker 3: played well. He did play well, but this team cannot
Speaker 3: possibly reach its ceiling with a four man that is
Speaker 3: as completely roleless, completely like without a place, without a
Speaker 3: thing to do on offense as kJ Adams. It is impossible.
Speaker 3: This team is curbing itself. Bill self is by choice,
Speaker 3: lessening what this team can do. By playing kJ Adams
Speaker 3: thirty five minutes a game, it's insane to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you hit the nail on the head. And notice,
Speaker 1: at no point in your rant did you say kJ
Speaker 1: Adams sucks or kJ Adams should never play. You said
Speaker 1: he has a role. He does have a role. It's
Speaker 1: the off the bench energy guy. But we look at
Speaker 1: the numbers with Flori. Flory played eighteen minutes. That's half
Speaker 1: of what kJ played. Flori had four point six rebounds,
Speaker 1: two blocks, and three fouls. He fouls a lot, and
Speaker 1: he got beat up on defense pretty good by Colorado's
Speaker 1: big It happens, Flory averaged double double in the four
Speaker 1: games that kJ Adams didn't start. In that four game stretch,
Speaker 1: Flory averaged ten to ten. He played thirty minutes a game. Well,
Speaker 1: then kJ came back four games since, Flori has averaged
Speaker 1: sixteen minutes per game, so his minutes have been cut
Speaker 1: in half. Meanwhile, kJ has averaged eight and four in
Speaker 1: those four games while averaging thirty two minutes a game.
Speaker 1: So basically, kJ came back to get the minutes that
Speaker 1: Flori got in his four games without kJ, and kJ
Speaker 1: has averaging two fewer points and six fewer rebounds. And look,
Speaker 1: I understand that this sounds kind of like it almost
Speaker 1: sounds like I'm making a funny by saying this, but
Speaker 1: I'm not. I understand that there are more things in basketball.
Speaker 1: There's more to basketball than points and rebounds, So it's
Speaker 1: not fair to input all the eggs in that basket.
Speaker 1: I think Flori is a better player than kJ Adams.
Speaker 1: I think he's a better basketball player than kJ Adams,
Speaker 1: especially with what this team needs from a four man.
Speaker 1: And I think that this team's ceiling. The best opportunity
Speaker 1: for this team to reach their best version of itself
Speaker 1: is playing Florie Butaduna thirty minutes a game. And people
Speaker 1: are like, have you watched he's been terrible of the
Speaker 1: last few games. First off, No, he hasn't. Second off,
Speaker 1: basketball is a game of rhythm. He's not getting any
Speaker 1: time out there. He's not getting any minutes. Don't tell
Speaker 1: me that he sucks on defense, But then you pat
Speaker 1: kJ on the ass for defense. Whenever we watched the
Speaker 1: second half in Waco, Florie's got to play and he
Speaker 1: showed more in the only four games he's ever started
Speaker 1: for Kansas. Then kJ does statistically during a very good
Speaker 1: stretch for him. Florie has to play more than kJ.
Speaker 1: He won't, I hear you, he won't. But if you
Speaker 1: want this team to be the best version of itself
Speaker 1: in March, Florie's got to play more than kJ.
Speaker 3: This is also kJ adams fifth year in school.
Speaker 1: Yeah he's he's not a fifth year guy. It's four
Speaker 1: four on one. kJ started about one hundred games here,
Speaker 1: Florie started four.
Speaker 2: Or yeah, I mean, it's not gonna change.
Speaker 1: But well, something else that will never change is Colorado
Speaker 1: losing at Allen Fieldhouse because they have now lost thirty
Speaker 1: one times in a row in this building. I Arronesty
Speaker 1: said that they lost thirty six straight on the last show,
Speaker 1: but I was including Big twelve Tournament games in their
Speaker 1: College Basketball Reference didn't specify with it that they put
Speaker 1: the at sign in there to indicate that that was
Speaker 1: against a higher seated Big twelve Tournament game. So they're
Speaker 1: also h to five against them in Kansas City. For
Speaker 1: the record, in the last forty years, thirty one straight
Speaker 1: at Allen field House, dating back to the first week
Speaker 1: of nineteen eighty four. Bill self is now twenty one
Speaker 1: and one against them now taking on the role of
Speaker 1: Kendrick Lamar with Colorado being Drake. And while we're dunking
Speaker 1: on Colorado, they're oh and thirteen now, and if they
Speaker 1: do not beat UCF on Saturday, they're going to have
Speaker 1: to get one of at Iowa State, Baylor, Kansas, at
Speaker 1: k State, and at Texas Tech to avoid entering senior
Speaker 1: day at oh and nineteen. If they don't get you,
Speaker 1: I think it might be Curtains.
Speaker 3: Who's their senior day.
Speaker 1: I think it's TCU at home who is better than them?
Speaker 3: They're due, Yeah, they they have two chances. It's UCF
Speaker 3: for TCU.
Speaker 1: The like at K State has suddenly turned into like
Speaker 1: a Nope, they're not winning that one sort of game.
Speaker 1: They're down in two chances.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, they're they're really bad.
Speaker 1: Land And tell me about Dewan Harris, who was reached
Speaker 1: the milestone here kind.
Speaker 3: Of he did reach it, we will we will discuss
Speaker 3: what it means. He took as many shots as Hunter
Speaker 3: Dickinson and scored half the points, which makes sense. Harris
Speaker 3: was four of eleven from the floor and had ten points,
Speaker 3: but he did have six rebounds, five assists, and only
Speaker 3: one turnover played thirty two minutes. He also passed Jacques
Speaker 3: Vaughan for second on the all time KU assist list,
Speaker 3: which you know, only took him forty one more games
Speaker 3: to do. But hey, but hey, shack More only got
Speaker 3: fourteen minutes off the bench. He did not score. Was
Speaker 3: the point point guards?
Speaker 2: Uh? Was?
Speaker 3: It was it Ryan or Cam that put death star
Speaker 3: sized asterisk asterisk here. It's a good joke. It's a
Speaker 3: good joke. Yeah, I mean, that's a lot of assists.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it took you, like an entire Natty run
Speaker 3: of another season more to get it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I posted this on Twitter and somebody, you'll, somebody
Speaker 1: said that I don't even see that I'm hating on
Speaker 1: the school that I root for, Bud. It's just pointing
Speaker 1: out a stat like Dewan Harris is a good point guard.
Speaker 1: Putting him ahead of Jacques Vaughan on the KU assistan
Speaker 1: list just feels kind of gross, Like, yeah, that's not
Speaker 1: you know, I'm glad. I'm glad that playing twenty five
Speaker 1: percent more games he got there.
Speaker 2: For how many mints he's played, you would you would hope.
Speaker 1: I almost called you Nick.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Take that for what it's worth.
Speaker 2: Camp.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, dude, tell me about Zeke. Tell me, tell
Speaker 1: me about Zeke Mayo. Do a Nick whipperd impression for
Speaker 1: me while you're talking about Zeke.
Speaker 3: Well, the best Nick impression would be to simply not
Speaker 3: read the play or.
Speaker 1: Forgot around Zeke Ando.
Speaker 2: I was gonna, I was just gonna wait and then
Speaker 2: go o, sorry, I was Uh, I forgot what we
Speaker 2: were going.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I'm sorry. I ruined the bit we were.
Speaker 2: On the Zeke Mayo had thirteen points, nine rebounds, two steals.
Speaker 2: He continues to be very effective from three three for seven,
Speaker 2: now forty one percent for the year. He struggled from
Speaker 2: two to one for five in conference Blaze, shooting forty
Speaker 2: two percent from three and forty five percent from two.
Speaker 2: Shoot it more, dude, for.
Speaker 1: Three, Yeah, shoot it more. Yes. In this game, Zeke
Speaker 1: Mayo and Ryland Griffin, who we are going to talk about.
Speaker 1: Zeke Mayo and Ryland Griffin combined to take I believe
Speaker 1: eleven fast nine and uh Dewan Harris took eleven shots.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, that's just Fifteen's a lot at least
Speaker 1: on nine to eleven. They they did as bad as
Speaker 1: Ryland Griffin has. Can you say that is that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? He did? No, but you can say said that
Speaker 2: we're all about cod said no.
Speaker 1: The The Bill's coach also was like guyce Rally, like
Speaker 1: those nine to eleven Highers, they.
Speaker 2: With bouts, they had no one else rallied. They charged
Speaker 2: that cac pit. We're gonna charge the I'm just.
Speaker 1: Gonna let Cam go before well, I actually won't because
Speaker 1: one of us is gonna say something that jobs.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Mayo is so bad at the running floater, Like what
Speaker 1: in the world can I get this funny? What in
Speaker 1: the world's going on with the with Zeke Mayo's floater,
Speaker 1: Like it's terrible. It's like the opposite of a Frank
Speaker 1: Mason floater.
Speaker 2: It's like a titan. It doesn't float. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't think it like he's never in rhythm when
Speaker 2: he shoots them. I just don't know. It's like Dawan
Speaker 2: Harris too kind of Zeke.
Speaker 1: But boy, can he shoot the three? Forty two percent
Speaker 1: from three? Here's here's here's a here's a truthful statement
Speaker 1: from not basketball coach Ryan Landrath. If you are shooting
Speaker 1: forty two percent from three. You better take ten a
Speaker 1: game like case case closed. If you're that good, you
Speaker 1: better launch the thing. I don't want forty two percent
Speaker 1: on four per game. Launch agreed?
Speaker 3: Please?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do agree.
Speaker 1: What about Rylan Griffin Landon? Do you agree that he
Speaker 1: should launch?
Speaker 3: Because yeesh, less and less by the time he does.
Speaker 3: He made three three throws, but otherwise was zero for
Speaker 3: four from three, which makes him one for ten from
Speaker 3: three in the last two games played seventeen minutes in
Speaker 3: this game. Since making five threes versus Houston on January
Speaker 3: twenty fifth, he is four for twenty one since, including
Speaker 3: two for fifteen since getting back into the starting lineup.
Speaker 3: Since January fifth, Griffin is seven for thirty four footing threes.
Speaker 3: If you take out the Houston game, and it's not
Speaker 3: much better than that all the way back to the
Speaker 3: UCF game as well. Is getting him going priority number
Speaker 3: one for this team? Yes?
Speaker 1: Yes, And I have a horrible feeling that Bill self
Speaker 1: is gonna say that's enough. Come on, David Koite, you're
Speaker 1: going back in the starting lineup for this next game.
Speaker 1: Please don't.
Speaker 2: You might be right actually with that, I hope you're wrong,
Speaker 2: but that seems very on par with this season.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, Like Griffin's gotta get going at this point
Speaker 1: in the year. Your teeth are sunk in too far.
Speaker 1: If you lose because Ryland Griffin misses a bunch of threes,
Speaker 1: so be it. You brought him in to be your
Speaker 1: team's best three point shitter. Yup, don't don't lose keeping
Speaker 1: him on the bench playing seventeen minutes while kJ Adams
Speaker 1: takes more shots than he does.
Speaker 2: Please, if you had a bet right now, do you
Speaker 2: think in Kansas's season any NCAA tournament loss, do you
Speaker 2: think that kJ Adams attempts more field goals than Radland Griffin.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would definitely take that bet. Yep.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sad, but it's true.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so has not even been good though lately.
Speaker 1: No he ever since I proclaimed him consistent. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: I think he is. Like he's in a slump for sure.
Speaker 1: He's a guy that's proven over the course of his career. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Houston game was was a was a heat check.
Speaker 1: It all happened a little bit. But like we we
Speaker 1: have evidence of him at two different Power five schools
Speaker 1: that he can launch threes at a high clip. He's
Speaker 1: still with this slump. He's still shooting thirty six percent
Speaker 1: from three this year, which is better than Isaiah mosh
Speaker 1: shot for Kansas. Doesn't seem like it, but it's true,
Speaker 1: like he still has it in him. He needs to launch.
Speaker 1: You need to continue trying to get him going.
Speaker 3: But this this is feeling more and more like this
Speaker 3: is a classic shot well in non con and this
Speaker 3: time he just happened to have two nuclear nuclear excuse
Speaker 3: me that came up in the last show Nuclear. I
Speaker 3: can't say it right. I'm not going to really really good,
Speaker 3: big time nights from three in conference play, and that's
Speaker 3: really the only thing that's keeping him going percentage wise,
Speaker 3: though like otherwise, it's very.
Speaker 1: How else do you want to play?
Speaker 2: Do you like?
Speaker 1: If you want kJ to shoot last and you don't
Speaker 1: want Griffin taking a bunch of threes, where are the
Speaker 1: shots coming from?
Speaker 3: That's a that's a really good question. Perhaps that speaks
Speaker 3: to the relative cookedness of this team, but you also.
Speaker 1: Said that this team. You also said that this team
Speaker 1: should not exclusively feed Hunter Dickinson as much, and you
Speaker 1: also said to want Harris shooting eleven times is too much.
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with many of these, but I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to figure out, like the only scenario I think
Speaker 1: you don't want either shoot three times.
Speaker 3: I think realistically speaking, you do have to keep trying
Speaker 3: Ryland Griffin because if he does get going and he
Speaker 3: does figure it out and he can get that shot
Speaker 3: back come out of the slump, then yeah, then you
Speaker 3: have a guy who's going to make several threes. You'd
Speaker 3: think a game at least a couple and give you
Speaker 3: give you something you don't really have right now. But yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean realistically, I kind of don't know if there
Speaker 3: is anybody. I don't know if there is anybody on
Speaker 3: this team. Aj Sto keeps hitting one shot a game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then not playing after that. Here's the rest
Speaker 1: of your guys. David Quit scored eight points in the
Speaker 1: second half and seventeen very good bench minutes. We all
Speaker 1: liked the Quoit acquisition in the offseason because you have
Speaker 1: to have a ball handler off the bench that can
Speaker 1: googlet you a bucket every now and then. Quoit can
Speaker 1: do that. He's a great pinch piece for this team.
Speaker 1: Aj Storer got seven first half minutes, scored four points,
Speaker 1: only to not play at all in the second half,
Speaker 1: because that makes sense. Ricky's Passimore played thirty seconds, shot
Speaker 1: a pretty open three, and immediately as in the ball
Speaker 1: hadn't even been rebounded yet, herself was waving Zeke Mail
Speaker 1: back into the game and got benched because what I
Speaker 1: wrote here is his coach is a geriatric crouch with
Speaker 1: a sucky heart.
Speaker 2: Jim Beheim the second but minus the hitting a lady
Speaker 2: with his car, minus a vehicular homicide alleged.
Speaker 1: Which was not alleged. That No, there's no allegend about
Speaker 1: that that did have that happened. Fran Rascilla has done
Speaker 1: six of the last eight games that Kansas has had
Speaker 1: on the ESPN family of networks. It makes me want
Speaker 1: to be the victim of vehicular homicide listening to this
Speaker 1: jackass call basketball games every single time. Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: set up pretty good, so was this.
Speaker 2: Now I'm saying, I can arrange that if needed a
Speaker 2: lot of people down here at the.
Speaker 1: Driving X, I'll just go stand in the Dairy Queen
Speaker 1: parking lot. It sounds like it sounds like it's fifty
Speaker 1: to fifty between getting hit by a car and hit
Speaker 1: by a bullet.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, there's one day. One one morning, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna wake up and there's gonna be like a Chevy
Speaker 2: and Pala that's in my leaving room, and I'm gonna
Speaker 2: be like, all right, checks out, and then just go
Speaker 2: back to bed.
Speaker 1: Completely out of context. Itp but Cam said yesterday that
Speaker 1: I prefer women that are built like Chevy and Pala's
Speaker 1: and it was my absolute favorite thing Cam has ever
Speaker 1: said in his life. I screenshot of that text and
Speaker 1: have it so it's hilarious.
Speaker 3: Also said lizo or bust.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, that I won't repeat it if I did
Speaker 1: say that, and that would definitely explain Cam's quote forty
Speaker 1: seven percent from the floor, twenty nine percent from three.
Speaker 1: I was pleading this team to take more threes halfway
Speaker 1: through the second half, and then they started launching them
Speaker 1: and none of them went in the basket sixty nine
Speaker 1: percent of the line. They won on the glass by six.
Speaker 1: They only turned it over eight times, but they also
Speaker 1: only forced eight against a team that is historically bad
Speaker 1: protecting the ball. Is a team that averages sixteen turnovers
Speaker 1: a game, Colorado does and Kansas held them, or Kansas
Speaker 1: was only able to force eight overall. This is a
Speaker 1: sleeper right, Like, this isn't the sort of game that
Speaker 1: you look at and say they're doomed. It's also not
Speaker 1: the sort of game that you look at and go,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm booking my airfare to wherever the second
Speaker 1: round of the NCAA tournament site that they're gonna be
Speaker 1: in is like overall whatever. They have a couple of
Speaker 1: these a year. It was a yawn. H do you
Speaker 1: feel worse about them than you did before the game
Speaker 1: tipped off?
Speaker 3: I feel exactly the same, which is not overwhelmingly positive.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, boat, this team is whatever.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, we were gonna start with big twelve games,
Speaker 1: but there's still at this hour one going on, so
Speaker 1: let's do a switch arou and start with other games.
Speaker 1: We can talk about the SEC first. I guess we
Speaker 1: do see unlike Bill self, we do have a Plan
Speaker 1: B whenever something is going wrong with our with our apples.
Speaker 2: Waitress the Rick Patino got with did not have said
Speaker 2: plan B.
Speaker 3: Allegedly, he both number one Auburn and two Alabama past
Speaker 3: road tests having their galactic showdown this weekend in Tuscaloosa,
Speaker 3: Tuscalusa has never heard of Plan B, and they never
Speaker 3: want to, and the Crimson Times made seventeen threes and
Speaker 3: route to a one hundred and three eighty thrashing over Texas.
Speaker 3: Speaking of Texas, jill And already said he has the
Speaker 3: Longhorns as one of his last teams in the field,
Speaker 3: despite the fact that they are four and eight in
Speaker 3: SEC play and are two and seven against ranked teams
Speaker 3: with their best non con win being North Carolina State.
Speaker 3: That does not scream in the dance to me. But
Speaker 3: Texas does this every single year where they're deeply underwhelming
Speaker 3: and yet they are flirting with the tournament birth all
Speaker 3: the way to the bitter end.
Speaker 1: If Texas is not Texas, they would not be on
Speaker 1: the bubble. And if this mass was.
Speaker 3: Called Eli Manning, would they would they be in the
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame?
Speaker 1: Uh, they probably would wind up there, even though they
Speaker 1: have no business doing. Texas kind of is Eli Manning
Speaker 1: like they once every ten years have a wait, how
Speaker 1: the hell did that happen sort of moment, But otherwise
Speaker 1: are largely unimpressive over an extended sample size and despite
Speaker 1: a lot of hype. And here's the thing. Every single
Speaker 1: year we see the Jeff Goodman's of the world and
Speaker 1: the the friggin' John Ross themes of the world saying,
Speaker 1: you know, it'd be even better if the NCAA tournament
Speaker 1: had ninety six teams. And then I see freaking four
Speaker 1: and eight and SEC play Texas on the cusp of
Speaker 1: a tournament, Berth, I do not need more teams like
Speaker 1: Texas and no Cincinnati and all them in the bit. No,
Speaker 1: they have so many chances. Don't tell me that they
Speaker 1: have such a tough SEC schedule so that will give
Speaker 1: him a few lots. No, then that means they have
Speaker 1: more chances to get wins. To put them in. Don't
Speaker 1: put them in because they had they were tripped up
Speaker 1: by the really tough schedule. Texas isn't a tournament team.
Speaker 1: Rodney Terry's also not a Power five coach, but that's
Speaker 1: a story for another day.
Speaker 2: Speaking of I can't read what was written here, but
Speaker 2: speaking of bad SEC teams, number twenty one, Missouri did
Speaker 2: unspeakable things to Porter Moser, as most ranked teams tend to.
Speaker 3: Do to slightly related to the conversation, Yes, yeah, guys,
Speaker 3: you guys couldn't hear the sound effects, but whenever you
Speaker 3: hear the sound effects, you're gonna be like, oh Man, Ryan,
Speaker 3: why did you do that?
Speaker 1: I want a career.
Speaker 2: I'm not worried about that. Nothing to be That's all
Speaker 2: I have for that.
Speaker 1: One, nothing to be concerned about, especially if you're Porter
Speaker 1: freaking Moser and you have duped a Power five team
Speaker 1: into giving you another year of salary, benefits and the like,
Speaker 1: because I cannot believe that. Here we are, in the
Speaker 1: Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five and a major
Speaker 1: basketball team is paying Porter Moser money to coach their
Speaker 1: basketball team. Missouri beat them by twenty four and the
Speaker 1: game was never close.
Speaker 3: Although known as the Danny Dimes Ining of Oklahoma yep,
Speaker 3: yep exactly Elsewhere in the SEC. Number three Florida followed
Speaker 3: up their Goliath win at Auburn with an impressive eighty
Speaker 3: one sixty eight win at number twenty two Mississippi State.
Speaker 3: As a home underdog fifteen, Kentucky controlled five Tennessee seventy
Speaker 3: five sixty four to earn the season sweep over the Valls.
Speaker 2: Ryan.
Speaker 3: Usually, even though I pit Kentucky, usually your logic there
Speaker 3: is correct that the road team gets the revenge win.
Speaker 3: But it didn't happen here. Kentucky continues to be a
Speaker 3: little bit of an enigma. Number eight. Ten A and
Speaker 3: M outscored Georgia by twenty five in the second half
Speaker 3: to run away from the Bulldogs to close out the
Speaker 3: relevant SEC action.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're really the only game that we care about.
Speaker 1: There's Kentucky, and you're right. Sometimes it's my logic behind
Speaker 1: that is, whenever you have an elite team, they just
Speaker 1: typically don't lose two games out of any two game
Speaker 1: sample size. But Kentucky got him here, and Vegas clearly
Speaker 1: thought the same because, as you said, the Wildcats were
Speaker 1: a home underdog. They're great offense like and Tennessee's not.
Speaker 1: So it's it's not that that unprecedented to see it,
Speaker 1: but if you're Tennessee, you gotta be thinking, damn, this
Speaker 1: team sucks at defense and we only got we didn't
Speaker 1: even get out of the low sixties against them. I
Speaker 1: think Tennessee is a huge, enormous fraud. I think they're
Speaker 1: about the fifth, maybe the sixth best team in that league.
Speaker 1: I think Auburn's better. I think Bama's better. I think
Speaker 1: Florida's better. I think Kentucky. You have to say they
Speaker 1: might be better. They swept them. I think A and
Speaker 1: m has a better player than anybody on Tennessee, and
Speaker 1: I think Missouri may have a higher ceiling. They are
Speaker 1: feisty down there in Columbia. I'm not feeling Tennessee at all,
Speaker 1: but I usually don't.
Speaker 2: With Rick Barnes, Yeah, he's not great, especially in March
Speaker 2: like seven and.
Speaker 1: Six and sec play like next. Don't even care.
Speaker 2: It's pretty close to Kansas's record right now. In Big
Speaker 2: twelve play, Dan Hurley led Yukon to an upset win
Speaker 2: at number twenty four Creighton behind an eruption from Leon McNeely.
Speaker 2: He scored thirty eight points. On his way off the court,
Speaker 2: Hurley scream two rings, two rings, baldy at a booing
Speaker 2: omahawk crowd. Dan, don't throw stones from glasshouses. You also
Speaker 2: are quite bald.
Speaker 1: I'm totally cool with Dan Hurley being the villain of
Speaker 1: this sport. We all hated Coach K and then it
Speaker 1: wasn't until Caleb Love ended Coach K twice that we realized,
Speaker 1: oh man, the sport's more fun with a villain. The
Speaker 1: sport needs a villain, and Danny Hurley is that. You
Speaker 1: can't be a villain and also suck because then you're
Speaker 1: just a dumb ass like then, no one takes you seriously.
Speaker 1: Dan Hurley. Yeah, his brother's a good call actually for that.
Speaker 1: Dan Hurley's got two rings so he can walk the
Speaker 1: walk and talk the talk. And yeah, his his I
Speaker 1: think two things are true. One, I think he's brilliantly
Speaker 1: entertaining and good for the sport. Two, Kentucky and the
Speaker 1: Lakers dodged major bullets.
Speaker 2: Yeah correct, especially holy crap.
Speaker 1: Imagine to Paul Win and somebody else now did to
Speaker 1: Paul Win. No, they lost by double digits at number
Speaker 1: eighteen Marquette. The result of it is a tighter Big
Speaker 1: East race, as did Villanova's contribution here as they upset
Speaker 1: number nine Saint John's getting a last second three from
Speaker 1: Tyler Perkins to win seventy three to seventy one. The
Speaker 1: Johnnys ten game winning streak is over and the league.
Speaker 1: The top of the league is pretty wild. Here you
Speaker 1: have seeing what Cam is diping down below. Saint John's, Creighton, Marquette, Yukon,
Speaker 1: and Villanova are all exactly one game apart from each
Speaker 1: other in that order, so that league appears to maybe
Speaker 1: have five tournament teams. Kyle Neptune's getting some turnaround work
Speaker 1: going on there.
Speaker 3: Oh Neptune, Indiana pulled off a road up set under
Speaker 3: eleven Michigan State at a twelve point underdog, which allegedly
Speaker 3: cost CAM twenty five dollars. He's upset about that.
Speaker 2: I would be not happy.
Speaker 3: The Spartan shot just four for twenty three from three
Speaker 3: very bill self of them couldn't stop Malik Renault, who
Speaker 3: had nineteen points and twelve rebounds four. The Hoosiers Michigan State,
Speaker 3: who started nine to zero Big Ten play and got
Speaker 3: CAM to a place or got camping place a final
Speaker 3: four feature on them, is now one in three in
Speaker 3: their last four games.
Speaker 2: It's gearing up for March is a month all alone.
Speaker 2: A top of Big Ten is number twenty Michigan, who
Speaker 2: trailed but double did just halfway through the second half
Speaker 2: before rallying past number seven per Due and an Arbor.
Speaker 2: Final score was seventy five to seventy. Three of the
Speaker 2: top three teams in the conference are all within a
Speaker 2: game of each other. Basically, everybody has a shot in
Speaker 2: the league besides Washington and Penn State.
Speaker 1: And everyone knows that Duke is really good, but right
Speaker 1: behind them and the ACC is twenty third ranked Clemson
Speaker 1: who blew the doors off of Ain gonna miss the
Speaker 1: tournament again, North Carolina team to get to twelve and
Speaker 1: two in league play. Wow, I clicked that like three
Speaker 1: minutes ago whenever we were talking about I think it
Speaker 1: was the Creighton lossn the internet finally decided to work there,
Speaker 1: So that was oh nept And here's another one for you.
Speaker 1: Michigan State and cams twenty five allegend dollars. So twelve
Speaker 1: and two in league play are the Clemson Tigers, who
Speaker 1: trailed the first place Blue Devils by a game after
Speaker 1: number three Duke destroyed conference foe California. How about that
Speaker 1: at Cameron Indoors Stadium. I was gonna say, I wish
Speaker 1: Kansas got to play schools as bad as California and
Speaker 1: conference play, but they kind of just did with Colorado
Speaker 1: and they only beat them by twelve.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they didn't win that much. Oh is it my job?
Speaker 1: Is it my job? Am I supposed to say ranked
Speaker 1: teams to lose? No, because now we're doing.
Speaker 3: Big twelve games in tween games.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do it. Kansas State seventy three, number thirteen,
Speaker 1: Arizona seventy Landon there's only one draft that you can play.
Speaker 1: I could push it six times, but I won't. I'll
Speaker 1: just push it once. SMA bitches.
Speaker 3: And the Wildcats have now won six straight games, three
Speaker 3: of them coming against top sixteen teams, and in this game,
Speaker 3: they took down an eleven and one team while shooting
Speaker 3: one for nineteen from three. Horrible horrible shooting night for
Speaker 3: k State, but a much worse shooting night for Caleb Bluff.
Speaker 3: They went three to fifteen from the four and perfect
Speaker 3: in a Caleb Blove kind of sense, oh for seven
Speaker 3: from three. But before you ask, he did have more
Speaker 3: turnovers than shots made, which is really what we're all
Speaker 3: about here at IP. Doug McDaniel led the way for
Speaker 3: the Wildcats, the winning Wildcats, the purple Wildcats, the Powercats,
Speaker 3: if you will. With twenty four ky State, they're playing
Speaker 3: their way back into the tournament.
Speaker 1: They look he's really good, like this team legitimately looks figured.
Speaker 3: They fully figured it out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe people were too quick to bury Jerome Tang.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Team that nobody buried because they're really good. Is the
Speaker 1: leader in the Big twelve Cam number six Houston seventy six,
Speaker 1: Baylor sixty five.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pronounce Houston if you're five foot two in fran Facilla.
Speaker 2: Baylor shots almost sixty percent of this game, but they
Speaker 2: were done in fifteen done in with fifteen turnovers. Houston
Speaker 2: made ten threes and had five players score between ten
Speaker 2: fourteen points. They are twelve and one in the league.
Speaker 2: They have won twenty two of their last twenty three
Speaker 2: conference games. Take notes Bill just unherralded dominance from Houston
Speaker 2: so impressive.
Speaker 1: Like we thought that they would struggle to get acclimated
Speaker 1: a little bit and they have not. BYU seventy three
Speaker 1: West Virginia sixty nine, the Cougars are probably the Big
Speaker 1: twelve's best team in that third tier kind of the
Speaker 1: BYU K State that range, as they are now seven
Speaker 1: and six in league play after getting sixteen points from
Speaker 1: Igor de Men. The Mountaineers led for most of the way,
Speaker 1: but they were held to just seven points in the
Speaker 1: final seven minutes. How many Big twelve teams are gonna
Speaker 1: make the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 2: Uh, I can't even think logically at this one.
Speaker 3: Six oh yeah, probably six or seven.
Speaker 1: Five or dunks. Houston, Arizona, Tech, Iowa State, and Kansas
Speaker 1: They're gonna make it. Then after that you have Baylor BYU,
Speaker 1: Kansas State, West Virginia, and Cincinnati are probably the next
Speaker 1: five bets. I don't know. I think I think seven,
Speaker 1: might seven, might be pushing it at this point. Honest,
Speaker 1: I think seven is the best case. Yeah, seventh, I
Speaker 1: think that feels about right. Yeah, I think that's right.
Speaker 1: I think Kansas State might be the best, might be
Speaker 1: the best, the sixth best team in the Big Twelve.
Speaker 1: They might even be better than that, But they may
Speaker 1: have just done it, done themselves too much, too big
Speaker 1: of a hole to get out of. Number ten. Iowa
Speaker 1: State seventy seven, UCF sixty five Landon. We said on
Speaker 1: the last show, Orlando is for teams that are struggling,
Speaker 1: go to get right. Another example here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the Cyclones have righted the ship. After a
Speaker 3: bit of a losing streak. Fifteen points from Keithshawn Gilbert.
Speaker 3: UCF has lost seven of eight and five in a row.
Speaker 3: They are officially on the struggle bus.
Speaker 1: Cincinnati eighty five, Utah seventy Sorry, can the dial lands
Speaker 1: on you to read about the least interesting Big twelve
Speaker 1: game that has ever happened?
Speaker 2: Brutal Man Yeah, twenty five points. From Gisel James, which
Speaker 2: is the most interesting thing about this game. On the
Speaker 2: Utah side, Gabe Manson had eight threes, but he took
Speaker 2: twenty six shots to get his twenty eight points since
Speaker 2: he has won three in a row. Do you guys
Speaker 2: think they have a tournament shot?
Speaker 1: Yes, because their record's good. Their non con schedule is
Speaker 1: not very good, but they do have a lot of wins.
Speaker 1: I think they have fifteen wins overall. Now that you
Speaker 1: get to eighteen or so, you're gonna be considered. I
Speaker 1: think they're good. I think Cincinnati is actually pretty good.
Speaker 1: Like if you gave me a pen and paper and
Speaker 1: said write the teams in order of best to worst,
Speaker 1: I think I'd have Cincinnati at like eight. But they
Speaker 1: have just blown so many winnable games, and I'm probably
Speaker 1: higher on them than either of you.
Speaker 3: Two. Yeah, yeah, I would say.
Speaker 1: So. This game just went final and Holy Banana's number twelve,
Speaker 1: Texas Tech one hundred and eleven, Arizona State one hundred
Speaker 1: and six and two overtimes. The Sun Devils had multiple
Speaker 1: opportunities to get this done as a seventeen point underdog,
Speaker 1: and they couldn't do it. Think Houston, Kansas but less
Speaker 1: galactic of a choke in the sense that Texas Tech
Speaker 1: had to rally at the end of regulation and overtime,
Speaker 1: and then they pulled away in the second overtime behind
Speaker 1: a I want to know if anybody has ever scored
Speaker 1: forty one points in a game for Texas Tech, because
Speaker 1: that's what JT. Toppin did. Also fifteen rebounds for good
Speaker 1: measure as well. Twenty seven more from Darien Williams. Arizona
Speaker 1: State had a really balanced the night. They played hard,
Speaker 1: but Texas Tech gets their tenth Big twelve win. They
Speaker 1: are very good and probably the wildest finish that we've
Speaker 1: seen in a Big twelve game this week. TCU seventy three,
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State seventy two.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Down seventy two to seventy With three seconds left,
Speaker 3: the horn Frogs threw a three quarters court core pass,
Speaker 3: three quarter court whatever, doesn't matter. They threw the ball
Speaker 3: a long way down the floor trying to get a
Speaker 3: basket at the end, where Vashon Alet made a Christian
Speaker 3: Laitner esque three to win the game. Jamie Dixon is
Speaker 3: back within a game of five hundred, which he does
Speaker 3: better than anybody who does.
Speaker 1: TCU play next. Let's see this weekend they play at
Speaker 1: Arizona State. Very winnable game that could totally see them
Speaker 1: getting back to five hundred.
Speaker 3: Is the TCU WA.
Speaker 1: Big Love standings. We have for the first time all year.
Speaker 1: We have one, two, three, four and five, just like
Speaker 1: the Big East, all a game apart Houston's first twelve
Speaker 1: and one, Arizona eleven and two, Texas Tech ten and three,
Speaker 1: Iowa States nine and four and all alone in fifth place,
Speaker 1: not yet a recipient of a double bye in the
Speaker 1: Big twelve tournament is Kansas They're eight and five.
Speaker 3: The middle is a lot muddier, tied for six three
Speaker 3: teams Baylor, BYU and now Kansas State seven and six.
Speaker 3: Right below them tied for ninth, West Virginia and TCU
Speaker 3: they are six and.
Speaker 2: Seven, number eleven, Utah, Cincinnati five and eight, number twelve,
Speaker 2: UCF Oklahoma State both four and nine, fifteen Arizona State
Speaker 2: they are three and ten, and then the most due
Speaker 2: team in the league is sixteen Colorado oh and thirteen.
Speaker 1: So Colorado has got seven games left and they have
Speaker 1: to go at least at least four and three to
Speaker 1: avoid being the sixteen seed in the Big twelve tournament. Guys,
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen. Gotta tell you. I
Speaker 1: think they're sixteenth. Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead agree ranked
Speaker 1: teams to lose since the last time we did a podcast.
Speaker 1: I know everybody loves going back and forth. This is
Speaker 1: what happens when we do other games. First, thanks, Texas Tech.
Speaker 1: Could have just won, like we all knew you were
Speaker 1: going to anyway. Number five Tennessee is the highest ranked
Speaker 1: team to lose since the last podcast. They lost at
Speaker 1: RUP for the second time this year to Kentucky.
Speaker 3: Number seven Purdue has conceded the lead in the Big
Speaker 3: Ten to Michigan, who they lost to.
Speaker 2: Number nine Saint John's and Rick Patino lost to a
Speaker 2: waitress at Applebee's and Villanova oh uh.
Speaker 1: Number eleven Michigan State lost to Indiana Rest in Peace,
Speaker 1: Cam's bank account man.
Speaker 3: Number thirteen Arizona they lost to k State, which everyone's
Speaker 3: doing these days.
Speaker 2: Twenty two Mississippi State lost to Florida.
Speaker 1: And number twenty four Creighton lost the Yukon and then
Speaker 1: they took another l after the game when Dan Hurley
Speaker 1: basically pissed on their grave walking off the court, which
Speaker 1: is pretty funny. Like, it was really funny seeing all
Speaker 1: those people in Omaha that were oh so happy when
Speaker 1: Pop Isaacs was dunking all over Kansas that night. They
Speaker 1: were quite sad as Yukon left the arena with a victory.
Speaker 1: And now on to ask Rock Chalk Blog, get the
Speaker 1: soundboard works? Hey, it did, all right, ask RCB. You
Speaker 1: could always count on the questions being good after a loss.
Speaker 1: You can also always count on the questions being good
Speaker 1: after an important win. But whenever they do that and
Speaker 1: they beat Colorado by a handful, we'll see. Let's see
Speaker 1: what these questions are like at rock Chock eighty four.
Speaker 1: When you sit down for the first four How likely
Speaker 1: is it that we will see Jerome Tang clapping on
Speaker 1: the sidelines.
Speaker 3: Much much, much more likely than it was like two
Speaker 3: weeks ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Man, good sho.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's just let's just look at KSE States schedule here.
Speaker 1: So there are seven games left. Next game is at BYU.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give them a loss there. Provo's tough, right,
Speaker 1: give him a loss.
Speaker 3: We're cool with that, Yeah, I would agree.
Speaker 1: Seven and seven is case State. And then they go
Speaker 1: at Utah, Arizona State at home at UCF, Colorado at home.
Speaker 1: If you want to be an NCAA tournament team, you
Speaker 1: have to win at least three of those games. Agreed, Yes, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that gets them to ten and eight, and then the
Speaker 1: last week of the year they have at Cincinnati, and
Speaker 1: then they end the year with Iowa State at home
Speaker 1: on Senior Day. With those seven games, I think Kansas
Speaker 1: State needs to go five and two. If they go
Speaker 1: five and two, then that gets you to twelve and
Speaker 1: eight in conference play, probably a top six seed in
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve Tournament. I think that will be on
Speaker 1: the right side of the bubble heading into Kansas City.
Speaker 2: I agree, Yeah, I think that very much checks out.
Speaker 1: But if they don't win five of their final seven,
Speaker 1: if you go four and three and have an early
Speaker 1: flame out their non con schedule, it really doesn't have
Speaker 1: a terrible loss, but it doesn't have any resemblance of
Speaker 1: a good win. So they're gonna need to get Iowa
Speaker 1: State at home, and then they can say, hey, we've
Speaker 1: got wins over Iowa State twice, We've got to win
Speaker 1: over Kansas We've got to win over Arizona and maybe
Speaker 1: more in the Big twelve tournament. I think they have
Speaker 1: a real shot, and I think that they could go.
Speaker 1: I don't think it stops at the first four. I
Speaker 1: think they could play their way into a safer bid.
Speaker 1: Also from rock Chock eighty four. Why did aj store
Speaker 1: only play in the first half? Wrong answers only, Well,
Speaker 1: my smartleic response because he didn't show enough energy. That
Speaker 1: actually might be the right answer.
Speaker 2: I can't say what I'm thinking, so I'll let land
Speaker 2: and go.
Speaker 3: He made shots which was one too many for Bill
Speaker 3: self's liking in l game where he wanted floor burns only.
Speaker 1: Yeah for the energy the energy points chart at Chance
Speaker 1: seventeen seventy six. Is Kansas State a better team than
Speaker 1: Kansas because it feels.
Speaker 2: Like it right now, right now?
Speaker 1: Maybe if they play tomorrow. If they play tomorrow on
Speaker 1: a truly neutral court, they're playing in freaking Slovakia. They're
Speaker 1: completely neutral. No, they're not Kansas.
Speaker 2: Kansas will be favored. Will they win the week?
Speaker 1: Kansas just played at Bramblege less than a week ago,
Speaker 1: and they were a four point favorite. You move that
Speaker 1: to a neutral court and they're probably a six point favorite.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not that much now, but they're at least
Speaker 1: a three or four point favorite, and I think they'd
Speaker 1: win the game.
Speaker 3: K State is actively playing better basketball than Kansas right now?
Speaker 1: Agree that is true. They They're they're white hot right now.
Speaker 1: At Ryan underscore Landras, what is three part question? What
Speaker 1: is the best song ever, the worst song ever, and
Speaker 1: the most overrated song ever?
Speaker 3: I like this question. The worst song ever is All
Speaker 3: Star by smash Mouth.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh my god. No, no, all right,
Speaker 1: that's it. We know don't have to make an announcement
Speaker 1: on this podcast. We are firing a co host live
Speaker 1: on air for the first time in the history of
Speaker 1: I t P podcast. Oh man, well just because you
Speaker 1: asked for it. Get that son of a podcast. Come on, Landing, Come.
Speaker 3: On, it's not Actually the worst song is Friday by Whoever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Rebecca I got that song is a boss.
Speaker 2: She got bullied into an eating That.
Speaker 3: Song sucks sideways, Ryan, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Rebecca Black got bullied into being homeschooled, I think,
Speaker 1: and she's all weird. Now okay, I am going to
Speaker 1: tell you guys a secret that you wish that you
Speaker 1: didn't know. Rebecca Black politics, get that son of a podcast.
Speaker 1: Now I'm now I'm now I'm doing solo shows. I
Speaker 1: guess welcome inside.
Speaker 2: The girlfriend.
Speaker 1: A solo Ryan I t P is like, Okay, so, guys,
Speaker 1: I know that they lost to Colorado, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you why you shouldn't be that worried because old
Speaker 1: billy boyle figure it out for us. Here. Just give
Speaker 1: him some time.
Speaker 2: Okay, you didn't exit the station wagon.
Speaker 1: Is there is there a fat drop? I don't think
Speaker 1: there is. It just is. Yeah, I typed in.
Speaker 3: That works.
Speaker 1: There we go. There's your fat joke. Here's the secret
Speaker 1: you guys wish you didn't know. Rebecca Black doubled down
Speaker 1: on Friday, which admittedly was not the best song ever written,
Speaker 1: and she wrote a parody and it's called Saturday, and
Speaker 1: I encourage you to look it up on YouTube when
Speaker 1: we're not the show and report back.
Speaker 2: It is unknown.
Speaker 1: Undoubted the worst song in the history of music. But
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna select it for my answer because I
Speaker 1: don't believe it classifies as music.
Speaker 3: That's pretty bad. Uh, the best song ever, that's very
Speaker 3: That's that's tough. I don't know. There's a lot of
Speaker 3: good songs.
Speaker 1: I'll give you my most overrated song ever. The most
Speaker 1: overrated song ever is Bohemian Rhapsody. That song is endless.
Speaker 1: They play it all the damn time. It's just endless.
Speaker 1: It feels like it's six songs at once and none
Speaker 1: of it's good, and everybody thinks it's good and I can't.
Speaker 3: You can say it's overrated, but it is good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'll think with overrated without burning bridges.
Speaker 2: No, the most overrated song is Mister Brightside.
Speaker 1: I don't like.
Speaker 2: That.
Speaker 1: That song is annoying.
Speaker 2: That case, I like the song, but the meanings not
Speaker 2: a deal.
Speaker 1: I think the best song ever is All Star. It
Speaker 1: might be Stacy's Mom, that's one of those two. The
Speaker 1: worst song ever, man, what's the worst song ever? Let
Speaker 1: me google what do people think? What's the worst song ever?
Speaker 1: The very first result is Friday by Rebecca Black. That
Speaker 1: is hilarious.
Speaker 3: That's really funny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have much.
Speaker 3: I have been listening to a good amount of Bob
Speaker 3: Dylan recently because the movie came out. I was very
Speaker 3: unfamiliar with Bob Dylan. He has a lot of really
Speaker 3: good songs. Girl from the North Country that's a that's
Speaker 3: an absolute sad banger and a half. That's my current
Speaker 3: answer right now. Girl from the North Country. Bob Dylan,
Speaker 3: great song.
Speaker 1: Rolling Stone said the worst song ever. This is a
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two article is called Twinkle Twinkle Little Bitch
Speaker 1: by you Kate. We're gonna listen to this song? What?
Speaker 1: What's that's hilarious?
Speaker 2: Dude?
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, I see all the swear words coming.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go ahead and stop that now. This song
Speaker 1: has two million views on YouTube. I I the top
Speaker 1: liked comment with more than twelve thousand thumbs up is
Speaker 1: she always disappoints. That's what I'm Oh, boy, Cam, what's
Speaker 1: the best song ever?
Speaker 2: I don't know about the best song ever? I just
Speaker 2: I just I just don't like mister Brightside because any
Speaker 2: is overplayed. That's all. That's all I'm gonna add to this.
Speaker 1: Then you can say that's your most overrated. That's probably good.
Speaker 1: I'm not a.
Speaker 2: Fan of that.
Speaker 1: My current least favorite song is Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter,
Speaker 1: who is, first of all, I'm not real good at
Speaker 1: pop culture in twenty twenty five, But anybody who says
Speaker 1: saprin in a Carpenter's name in the same breath as
Speaker 1: Olivia Rodrigo should be shot out of a cannon and
Speaker 1: forced to watch exclusive kJ Adams Baylor Waco second half
Speaker 1: highlights because oh my gosh, that is this a horrendous take?
Speaker 1: Landon doesn't like Olivia Rodrigo and sir, I'm sorry she slaps.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's fine. I don't really feel like arguing about
Speaker 3: something you're so wrong about. That's okay, all.
Speaker 1: Right, we know with songs, do we kind of get
Speaker 1: our do we kind of get our points across here
Speaker 1: with songs?
Speaker 3: Yeah? More or less?
Speaker 1: All right, let's do this next one at show Me Hawk.
Speaker 1: On the last show, you compared this team to the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one team, and I do agree on the
Speaker 1: comp but that doesn't mean that this team cannot have
Speaker 1: a better season. All I need to do is in
Speaker 1: these last seven games secure a top four seed, and
Speaker 1: then they very well have a crowd advantage in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. Yes, yes, theoretically, as Cam would say, alleged, however,
Speaker 1: easier said than done. If this team makes it to
Speaker 1: the second weekend of the NCAA tournament, yeah, we won't
Speaker 1: really think of them as twenty twenty one. Like again,
Speaker 1: it's all about that game, because I think they're gonna
Speaker 1: get some wins.
Speaker 2: Ah, they better.
Speaker 1: At at Mayo. Zke Berner. At what point in the
Speaker 1: season did you realize this team just didn't have the juice?
Speaker 1: Was it in the Missouri game, was in the Creighton game,
Speaker 1: was in the Houston game?
Speaker 3: When was it? That's a really good question. Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: that's the answer.
Speaker 2: It's Baylor.
Speaker 1: Baylor is giving them the benefit of the doubt too,
Speaker 1: because we saw him start seven to zero when they
Speaker 1: lost to Creighton. Okay, Creighton's loud pop, Isaacs went off.
Speaker 1: Okay lost whatever. They lose to Missouri, and we didn't
Speaker 1: think Missouri was very good. Now I think that loss
Speaker 1: has aged better than we thought it, and they wound
Speaker 1: up making that game of fight. Then they won a
Speaker 1: f you in a row. I think the answer might
Speaker 1: actually be West Virginia, just because that's the sort of
Speaker 1: game that that never happens, Like literally, conference opening loss
Speaker 1: never happens. When they lost that one, it was one
Speaker 1: of those oh that's the third time this year that
Speaker 1: at the time we thought they lost to an inferior Yeah,
Speaker 1: by the time we got to Baylor, we were kind
Speaker 1: of already expecting.
Speaker 3: That honestly, maybe UCF at home weirdly enough when.
Speaker 1: They gave up eighty seven and barely won.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean obviously I wasn't expecting to win by
Speaker 3: fifty one again, but like squeaking one out against the
Speaker 3: team you crushed previously at home didn't feel good either.
Speaker 1: Well, here's kind of a piggyback on that one for you, Cam.
Speaker 1: You can lead off with this one at AJ Stevens.
Speaker 1: And did the people who thought KU was preseason number
Speaker 1: one really get it wrong? Because the team isn't that
Speaker 1: good or was the expectation fair? And the team is
Speaker 1: the blame for failing to achieve a reasonable expectation?
Speaker 2: I mean, this sounds terrible. I think it's both. Like, realistically,
Speaker 2: the roster from a purely Bill Self built this team
Speaker 2: like a guy that was playing NBA two K. Like
Speaker 2: you go into the portal, you get big names and
Speaker 2: then you surround them with guys that are older on
Speaker 2: the team, have experience, and you're like, ah, this should
Speaker 2: be fine, and it's just not working out. I mean,
Speaker 2: I think it's both.
Speaker 1: Here's where I think Bill self got this wrong. Assuming
Speaker 1: it doesn't work, maybe all gels and they reach the
Speaker 1: Final four, right, it's not out of the realm of possibility.
Speaker 1: But assuming this team doesn't go as far as people
Speaker 1: would like them to in the tournament, and we look
Speaker 1: back at this and think, man, two years in a row,
Speaker 1: the same thing happened more or less, I think that
Speaker 1: we're going landon. You remember last season, before Nick left,
Speaker 1: we talked about off season one list, and I said,
Speaker 1: if they're going to build another roster around Hunter Dickinson,
Speaker 1: they've got to get a s wretch four. They've got
Speaker 1: to get a guy who can rebound well and ideally
Speaker 1: can also be a shooting threat. He doesn't have to
Speaker 1: be Steph Curry, but he has to be a threat.
Speaker 1: And Alabama, because God bless Natos, has that blueprint to
Speaker 1: a science. And they went out there and they grabbed
Speaker 1: Grant Nelson from North Dakota State, who is six ' ten.
Speaker 1: He can shoot the ball, and he's a good rebounder,
Speaker 1: and he has an athletic at all. kJ could do
Speaker 1: all the Olympic sports much better than Grant Nelson except
Speaker 1: play basketball, because that guy goes out there, he rebounds
Speaker 1: the misses, and he shoots the ball. That's what Kansas needed.
Speaker 1: If they wanted to maximize a Hunter Dickinson centered offense.
Speaker 1: Is they got it wrong by bringing back a guy
Speaker 1: that doesn't jel well next to Hunter Dickinson and having
Speaker 1: him lead the team in minutes. And Dwan Harris just
Speaker 1: might not be an elevator type of point guard. He's
Speaker 1: not gonna elevate guys to be better versions of themselves.
Speaker 1: I think the pieces Bill self got in the transfer
Speaker 1: portal are great. He got a handful of guys who
Speaker 1: can play the two, three and the four. Zeke Mayo
Speaker 1: has been awesome, Ryland Griffin showing signs, David Koits been
Speaker 1: everything we wanted to be. Aj Store hasn't been very good,
Speaker 1: but you're allowed to get one and a four wrong.
Speaker 1: And Flori's been great. Of the five new editions, four
Speaker 1: of them have been at least all right. If three
Speaker 1: of them have been really good. The problem was they
Speaker 1: brought back a one, a four, and a five that
Speaker 1: didn't work together. The five is really good. The one
Speaker 1: and the four are not team elevators, and you're seeing it.
Speaker 3: I think that is extremely well put. That is that
Speaker 3: is the articulation of this team.
Speaker 1: kJ Adams is a good piece on a lot of
Speaker 1: teams if you have a five man that plays kind
Speaker 1: of like I don't know, I'm trying to think of
Speaker 1: a five man that if you want kJ at the four,
Speaker 1: that it would work. I mean like a like a Zion.
Speaker 1: Zion played the five like he was an athlete, like
Speaker 1: I think the best the best compliment to kJ is
Speaker 1: somebody who's also really athletic, but a good rebounder, so
Speaker 1: maybe even a but done got type. Hunter Dickinson is
Speaker 1: not the athlete that you want to stick next to
Speaker 1: kJ Adams And I'm surprised Bill self didn't see this.
Speaker 1: I understand what Bill self was trying to do. kJ
Speaker 1: Hunter into one. Are all good players. Much to your point, Cam,
Speaker 1: It's like building a two K roster. He said, I
Speaker 1: got three good players, so I'll go get two other
Speaker 1: good players, and five good players around them will make
Speaker 1: a good team. Not always work like that. Dickinson is
Speaker 1: a great player, but more than I think a lot
Speaker 1: of all Americans are. He's much more. He needs the
Speaker 1: right pieces around him to make it work. I watch
Speaker 1: guys like Mark Sears and Jani Broom and last year
Speaker 1: Jamal Shed Guys like that that were all Americans. It
Speaker 1: wouldn't have mattered if you put four average joes around him,
Speaker 1: they were gonna be all American. Good hunter needs the
Speaker 1: right compliments around him, and kJ and it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you nailed it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, completely her.
Speaker 1: Here's a Chicago question for you, Cam at Dick Underscore Taser.
Speaker 1: Pretend like your name was Rick Dazer and you happen
Speaker 1: to have plans to Oh no, not it.
Speaker 2: Could it be.
Speaker 1: Chicago for a four day weekend and this was the forecast,
Speaker 1: and the forecast shows snow, snow, cloudy, minus three, cloudy six.
Speaker 1: Would you stick with said plans or a bort mission
Speaker 1: well waiting underscore Kerr. I don't know if you realize this,
Speaker 1: but Cam, hence the gunshot drops lives right next to
Speaker 1: Chicago's finest dairy Queen.
Speaker 2: I am right across. I am right a cross and
Speaker 2: read a cross right across from the finest dairy queen
Speaker 2: to the land. I mean like, you can still go.
Speaker 2: You might just hate your life, but you can find
Speaker 2: things to do. I don't know what you like to do.
Speaker 2: You'll just be inside a lot and uh, to be honest,
Speaker 2: in Chicago, that's kind of what you want to do anyway,
Speaker 2: because outside to get scary Dick Taser. I don't know
Speaker 2: what you're doing.
Speaker 3: Is his Twitter handle is Dick Taser and his four
Speaker 3: like avatar name was Wayne Kerr. So those those are
Speaker 3: indoor activities.
Speaker 1: You know what Wayne Kerr is doing if we're being honest,
Speaker 1: because I get pictures of him rolling, like running on
Speaker 1: a beach next to a historic lighthouse and listening to
Speaker 1: it p and like Cobb and and now you want
Speaker 1: to come to Chicago, Like I don't get it, man,
Speaker 1: this feels like like like a rich dude wanting to
Speaker 1: go eat lunch at the Dairy Queen by Cam's house.
Speaker 1: Like it just doesn't make any sense, Like we're just
Speaker 1: so out, Like.
Speaker 2: I'll take you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys should meet up at the Dairy Queen.
Speaker 1: If you survive, you can talk about how it goes.
Speaker 1: I was good. I looked it up for you. Wayne Kerr.
Speaker 1: DePaul does not play at home this weekend. I was
Speaker 1: gonna suggest you go watch them play when you're in Chicago,
Speaker 1: but they are on the road. If you stick around
Speaker 1: until Wednesday, you can see them play Saint John's at home. Cam,
Speaker 1: you should go to that game. Go see Rick Petite.
Speaker 1: They'd have to pay me to go on this website. Well,
Speaker 1: of course it's not. It's it's not quite paying you.
Speaker 1: But you only have to pay them three dollars according
Speaker 1: to the ESPN schedule.
Speaker 2: That's a good deal. I would do it if it
Speaker 2: didn't risk.
Speaker 1: You know, where, how far are you from DePaul? Because
Speaker 1: Chicago's freaking huge, like.
Speaker 2: Probably twenty five minutes.
Speaker 1: Okay, well so so about two miles, but Chicago traffic
Speaker 1: exactly at show me Hawk. Do you think next year's
Speaker 1: team could be up there with Houston caliber teams, which
Speaker 1: is more twenty tens Kansas? Analytically, do you think this
Speaker 1: could be a top five preseason Ken Palm team?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Absolutely, darn translate well this.
Speaker 3: Look.
Speaker 1: I understand that Andrew Wiggins had more hype than any
Speaker 1: high school basketball player ever. All right, full disclosure. Andrew
Speaker 1: Wiggins had the most hype of any high school player
Speaker 1: we'll ever see play for Kansas. I think Darren Peterson
Speaker 1: the best high school player that's ever played at Kansas
Speaker 1: next year, he's he is absurd Like Wiggins wasn't the
Speaker 1: scorer that Darren Peterson was. Wiggins was an insane athlete
Speaker 1: that happened to just overwhelm people with his scoring because
Speaker 1: he was so freakishly athletic. Darren Peterson is the best
Speaker 1: scorer I've ever seen come out of high school. And
Speaker 1: he's going to Kansas.
Speaker 3: Hey, let's hope that plays out.
Speaker 2: That would be rad Yeah, let him shoot pill.
Speaker 1: Bill Self said on Hawk Talk tonight that Darren Peterson
Speaker 1: is going to be the type of scorer that Frank
Speaker 1: Mason was as a senior as a freshman. And that's
Speaker 1: saying a lot considering Frank Mason scored more points per
Speaker 1: game than any Bill Self player has in the last
Speaker 1: twenty years. He's gonna score twenty nine is an absurd quote, right,
Speaker 1: I know, I couldn't believe he said it.
Speaker 3: Hopeful I would have doubled.
Speaker 1: I was driving in a snowstorm. Otherwise I would have
Speaker 1: double taked and looked at my radio.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that want to come back? Wild?
Speaker 1: Does that make you want to come back and do more?
Speaker 1: Itp lanning to talk about Darren Peterson's All American year.
Speaker 3: I might need to see him actually do it a
Speaker 3: couple times.
Speaker 1: On record right now, because I'm all in on record
Speaker 1: right now. Darren Peterson's a first team All America next year.
Speaker 2: At Kansas.
Speaker 1: Dude's dude to the whole package. He is, with the
Speaker 1: exception of Wiggins, the highest rated by twenty four to
Speaker 1: seven Sports, is rating recruit that Kansas has ever had.
Speaker 1: He's not quite the athlete Wiggins was, but from a
Speaker 1: shooting perspective, from a scoring perspective, a facilitating perspective, he
Speaker 1: is the best recruit that Bill self has ever had.
Speaker 3: Yeah, seems that way. He is on twenty four to seven.
Speaker 3: He is ranked below Josh Jackson and Wiggins, but he
Speaker 3: is third.
Speaker 1: They're all one hundreds, aren't they They're all one hundred.
Speaker 3: I think he has a very good chance to be
Speaker 3: very good. I haven't actually seen a lot of his highlights.
Speaker 3: I know he dropped fifty eight the other day, sixty
Speaker 3: one crazy. Regardless, he's very good. He's really really good.
Speaker 3: I hope, I hope he's He's a sensational in colleges.
Speaker 3: If Bill Self's right in that he's he's a Frank
Speaker 3: Mason level scorer, that will put him in like a
Speaker 3: top two, top three scoring season we've ever seen in
Speaker 3: the beilsof Er at Kansas.
Speaker 1: Last question at Elliott rus in h non basketball question
Speaker 1: today because to be honest, do we really need to
Speaker 1: talk more about that game?
Speaker 3: Nope?
Speaker 1: What are your guys's favorite local, non chain restaurants and
Speaker 1: fast food places? More like mom and pop, slash, hole
Speaker 1: in the wall, gyms, well Landon and I both live
Speaker 1: in Johnson County, Kansas and the Casey Metro and Cam
Speaker 1: you're in Chicago, so you can't say dairy queen, but
Speaker 1: you're gonna have different answers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's like, dude, I've liked here, so
Speaker 2: oh no, you go. Uh.
Speaker 1: The first one that comes to mind that's really good
Speaker 1: is Johnny's Tavern. There's a few of them scattered around here.
Speaker 1: They have really good, really good pizza night, really good
Speaker 1: kind of bar and grill. They got kind of everything there.
Speaker 1: We go there quite a bit. There's a few places.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of restaurants called the Peanut and in Joco.
Speaker 3: That's places is Yeah, is it really famous for here?
Speaker 3: It's famous around here.
Speaker 1: Okay, I've got said that's probably the answer.
Speaker 3: Not first Watch, that's yeah, it's fair. Uh. There's a
Speaker 3: really good Irish pub that there's like three of them.
Speaker 3: I believe they're called Conroys. That's really really good. Conroy's Rocks. Uh,
Speaker 3: there's a couple of Mediterranean places that I like. One
Speaker 3: called Yaffa in Overland Park. That's really good. Oh, what's
Speaker 3: a Flaffel? Express also picked up doing door dash orders.
Speaker 3: I picked up from all these places and not eating them,
Speaker 3: but I can tell you that they all smell very good.
Speaker 3: Those two places that you just listed smell very good.
Speaker 3: They are very good. Camde Chicago, have any places to
Speaker 3: besides dairy queens?
Speaker 2: But I blanked out? Yeah, I I really haven't had
Speaker 2: much out here. There's a here here you go. There's
Speaker 2: a place that no one's gonna care about next door
Speaker 2: called sports Shack. Shout out to sports Shack. It's like
Speaker 2: a bar chicken caseadia phenomenal. It's it's bread, chicken and cheese.
Speaker 2: Shout out to sports check.
Speaker 1: Well, that's where Wayne kirk Cane he needs whenever he
Speaker 1: needs to get out of negative six stories Chicago night. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that'll be fun if you ever have any Ascar CBS.
Speaker 1: Oh and then there is at Hurricane c W eighteen,
Speaker 1: it says, do you do ever do a write up
Speaker 1: after games? We used to traffic on rock Shot blog
Speaker 1: wasn't enough to warrant the amount of time if that
Speaker 1: took and then the Russian pornbots took over anyway, so
Speaker 1: you just get our very eloquent and rebounds. Okay, previewing
Speaker 1: a game that we have, I don't yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: we were doing ITICP when they played Utah a long
Speaker 1: time ago. It's been a while. Number seventeen Kansas at
Speaker 1: Utah Saturday, February fifteenth, as you're after Valentine's Day, the
Speaker 1: Jayhawks will play the reddest team in the Big Twelve.
Speaker 1: They're going to Utah at nine o'clock on a Saturday
Speaker 1: night on ESPN.
Speaker 3: The Utah Utes, which my dad's cousin works at the
Speaker 3: University of Utah. Shout out to you, Carol. They are
Speaker 3: coached by chat GPT name generator Craig Smith. They are
Speaker 3: thirteen and eleven overall, they are five and eight and
Speaker 3: Big twelve play.
Speaker 2: Their league.
Speaker 3: Wins are Oklahoma State, TCUBAU, Cincinnati, and Colorado, which, for
Speaker 3: those keeping track, is mostly the bottom half of the league.
Speaker 3: In the best non con win was Eastern Washington, so
Speaker 3: they get to do anything against anyone. Noteworthy, they are
Speaker 3: currently ranked eighty sixth in ken Palm, which is exactly
Speaker 3: one spot ahead of TCU UH.
Speaker 2: Leading the way. Leading the utes is six foot six
Speaker 2: combo guard Gabe Madson, who's a surefire white guy at
Speaker 2: the game lock. He ever his fifteen points and takes
Speaker 2: a ridiculous amount of shots. He is a thirty two
Speaker 2: percent three point cheer and nine attempts per game. Uh.
Speaker 2: This is the most foreseeable seven for ten performance in
Speaker 2: the history of college basketball. His brother Mason Madson comes
Speaker 2: off the bench as their best shooter at thirty nine percent.
Speaker 3: Sweet lord, I've never seen brothers destroy Kansas.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh no, that definitely warrants this.
Speaker 1: That was a horrendous throwback. And then thanks for that.
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll get fifty nine. No, at least one,
Speaker 1: at least one of them doesn't look like Napoleon Dynamite. Also,
Speaker 1: Mason Madson is they are brothers. I googled this to
Speaker 1: verify they are brothers. Mason Madson is a black kid,
Speaker 1: and Gabe Madson looked like a coal miner from the
Speaker 1: middle of West Virginia.
Speaker 4: So I don't know how exactly, man, I don't even
Speaker 4: know how to what to follow that up.
Speaker 1: I just know that was hilarious. Utah has a lot
Speaker 1: of height. Think Colorado, but a little better. They start
Speaker 1: four guys that are at least six eight six eight
Speaker 1: Ezra Osar, six ' nine, Mike Sheriff, how do you
Speaker 1: say that? Mike Sheriff?
Speaker 3: The Gems sure.
Speaker 1: That six ' ten Jake Whalon and seven one Lawson
Speaker 1: with two a's l A A W S O N
Speaker 1: lovering around Gabe Madsen. This team has wild names plenty
Speaker 1: of height on their bench as well, including former Baylor
Speaker 1: Bear Caleb Loner, Baylor Big, Big Baylor Bear Caleb. Whatever
Speaker 1: the predictable results see a team that's very good on
Speaker 1: the glass, good but not great at blocking shots, and
Speaker 1: very prone to getting into foul trouble. I gotta tell you,
Speaker 1: I've done a lot of scouting reports, and this team
Speaker 1: left me more confused than many because you go into
Speaker 1: it thinking this team is tall, they probably block a
Speaker 1: lot of shots, they probably play really slow, they probably
Speaker 1: are forced prone to turning the ball over, and they're
Speaker 1: basically none of that. Land And this is a weird,
Speaker 1: weird team that I haven't really watched much, so I
Speaker 1: have no idea what Kansas is going into except for
Speaker 1: I know the white guy is gonna shoot and probably
Speaker 1: make a lot of threes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because the Utes are a top ten passing team
Speaker 3: in America, which is very interesting considering how they start
Speaker 3: a very tall lineup. Usually starting a really tall lineup
Speaker 3: does not, like does not mean you're gonna get a
Speaker 3: lot of assists a lot of the time.
Speaker 2: But they do.
Speaker 3: Their offense makes a good clip of twos, but plays
Speaker 3: at a faster than you'd expect pace. The defense isn't
Speaker 3: as stout as you think with all the height. They're
Speaker 3: bottom five nationally from the free throw line. They only
Speaker 3: shoot thirty four percent as a squad from the out side.
Speaker 3: Utah and Kansas have only played once. It was in
Speaker 3: December twenty fourteen at the Sprint Center, which was somehow
Speaker 3: in the ITP era. Kansas blait a huge lead before
Speaker 3: holding off the Utes late to win by three.
Speaker 1: It was fun when they used to blow leads, but
Speaker 1: then they recover and still win, unlike now when defensive
Speaker 1: stallwart kJ Adams leads them to a sixty piece being
Speaker 1: hung on them in wayo oh the damn it drop
Speaker 1: started to play and then it switched to my AirPods,
Speaker 1: so it didn't even want to play the whole thing, Cam.
Speaker 3: What do you think of this game?
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, I think that the names
Speaker 2: of these guys are ridiculous. I thought I was reading
Speaker 2: an ancient text from Mesopotamia going through these names. But
Speaker 2: I also think Kansas wins by eight points. Give me
Speaker 2: Kansas seventy three, Utah sixty five. I had a new
Speaker 2: Mather there for a second. That's my indefinitely Kansas by eight.
Speaker 1: I don't have a good feeling for this game. I'm
Speaker 1: probably gonna curb your enthusiasm my way to picking Kansas,
Speaker 1: but Land and I don't feel good about this.
Speaker 3: I also have I've been bad at picking Kansas games
Speaker 3: this year. I have no beat for for when they're
Speaker 3: gonna win and when they're gonna lose. I really don't
Speaker 3: they're better than Utah.
Speaker 2: I know that they are.
Speaker 3: They're a better team than Utah.
Speaker 1: Theoretically, if you did Ken Palm rankings here, it would
Speaker 1: be number ten Kansas at number eighty two Utah.
Speaker 3: But we gotta be joking about Kansas being ten, Like
Speaker 3: we cannot be real with that. We we know that
Speaker 3: that's not true, that they are maybe their best team.
Speaker 1: Maybe the rest of college basketball is just also kind
Speaker 1: of bad. Maybe that's true, but goodness gracious, let me
Speaker 1: read to you. Let me read to you the ten
Speaker 1: teams on Ken Palm. I'm immediately after Kansas, and you
Speaker 1: tell me how many of them you think Kansas is
Speaker 1: actually worse than because I'd played this exercise earlier, and
Speaker 1: I don't think you might get to three, or you
Speaker 1: might get to three names after that, good luck, Gonzaga, Wisconsin, Texas,
Speaker 1: A and M, Arizona, Illinois, Saint John's Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe it's like five.
Speaker 1: I don't think you get to five. I'll give you Arizona,
Speaker 1: I'll give you A and M. Maybe San.
Speaker 2: The issue isn't that they're not better than them. The
Speaker 2: issues that they can lose to any single one of
Speaker 2: those teams any day of the week, and then they
Speaker 2: can come out and win.
Speaker 1: By four or number eighty two Utah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like what good Kansas team did you have in
Speaker 2: the twenty tens where you're like, huh, Kansas is going
Speaker 2: to play number eighty five Ken Palm team TCU, and
Speaker 2: I just don't know if they're gonna win, Like it's
Speaker 2: just insane.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna pick Kansas to win the game,
Speaker 1: but I think they're gonna lose the next game in provo,
Speaker 1: so I'll take them to go one and one on
Speaker 1: the Utah trip. Give me an ugly seventy two to
Speaker 1: sixty three sort of grind it out game where that
Speaker 1: Zeke Mayo makes enough shots because Hunter Dickinson is pretty
Speaker 1: bottled up the whole night.
Speaker 3: Yeah, give me Kansas, like seventy two to sixty six
Speaker 3: or something like that. We all picked about the same
Speaker 3: kind of game here. Yeah, give me a game where
Speaker 3: where yeah, Zeke Mayo or Dwan Harris or somebody makes
Speaker 3: just enough plays at the end of the game, gets
Speaker 3: to the free throw line just enough something, and Kansas
Speaker 3: holds uts. I don't know if Utah is going to
Speaker 3: be able to score a ton of points against Kansas,
Speaker 3: but if they can pass the ball, well you never know.
Speaker 3: But I'll take the Hawks. But I agree on the
Speaker 3: provo take Ryan.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna this is a weird stat and it
Speaker 1: has a lot of legs to it. Do either of
Speaker 1: you two know the last time that Kansas won a
Speaker 1: road game in conference play by single digits.
Speaker 3: Last than they won by single digits.
Speaker 1: Won a conference road game by single digits. They have
Speaker 1: five wins in this stretch on the road, all of
Speaker 1: them by double digits.
Speaker 3: Wow, I don't know when was it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no idea.
Speaker 1: It was February twentieth of twenty twenty three at TCU
Speaker 1: when Grady Dick and Jalen Wilson were here. It's been
Speaker 1: almost two yeah, big seasons since. This team just got
Speaker 1: enough on the road. I think it happens here though.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this screams win by seven.
Speaker 1: Yep, we'll hope we're all picking them, So pipe up
Speaker 1: the curb your enthusiasm. Big twelve games, a really good
Speaker 1: game between the top two teams and the conference right now.
Speaker 1: Number six Houston goes into the Mchal Center to play
Speaker 1: number thirteen Arizona. I think you got to take the
Speaker 1: Wildcats here. I don't think that I think Houston's better
Speaker 1: than Arizona, but this feels like a spot where the
Speaker 1: Wildcats get them in a crazy environment.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Houston here. I think Houston kind of
Speaker 3: flexes a little bit against Arizona. Arizona's always felt like
Speaker 3: they've kind of punched above their weight slightly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're right. I think it's a good call.
Speaker 2: I'm actually gonna take Houston as well.
Speaker 1: If Houston wins this, they basically clinched the Big twelve,
Speaker 1: Like we think they're gonna win it anyway, but this
Speaker 1: basically does it. Right then they're two up with six left.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's yeah, it's over.
Speaker 3: Knockout more or less.
Speaker 1: West Virginia at Baylor Bears win the games at their
Speaker 1: favor to win feels like this one.
Speaker 2: Yep, yep.
Speaker 1: Number twelve. Texas Tech at Oklahoma State. Do either of
Speaker 1: you think that the Red Raiders have a letdown after
Speaker 1: winning in two overtimes tonight?
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, give me Oklahoma State here, No.
Speaker 1: I don't, but I wish they were playing someone better,
Speaker 1: because yeah, if there's like a TCU or a Cincinnati
Speaker 1: or someone, I take it. But I just don't think
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State's good enough. UCF at Colorado Is this the day?
Speaker 1: Is this the chance?
Speaker 2: I say it is?
Speaker 1: Give me the Buffaloes.
Speaker 2: I agree, yep, give me the great to tankas.
Speaker 1: Wow, we are all going, so you could say that
Speaker 1: all three.
Speaker 2: Of them the Buffaloes. Just kidding, That is not that
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with that's just a yeah.
Speaker 1: It's okay. We can tell you more if you guys
Speaker 1: would like to know more on the next show.
Speaker 3: So it's not a seriously you don't, you don't, It's okay.
Speaker 1: You may want to say, wow, three of you guys
Speaker 1: are all picking Colorado. That's not just a few people.
Speaker 1: That's a buffal load.
Speaker 3: Podcast and leave, do not come back.
Speaker 1: Cincinnati at number ten, Iowa State cyclone horn right here right,
Speaker 1: they win big.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they went by eight hundred thousand points.
Speaker 1: TCU at Arizona State. I will take the horn frogs
Speaker 1: on the road here. Arizona State falls flat, and if
Speaker 1: Jamie Dixon's good at anything, it's getting back to five hundred.
Speaker 3: Same agree, Chuer, why not?
Speaker 1: And Kansas State at BYU, I will pick. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: I want to say this is where the streak stops.
Speaker 1: But I overrate BYU a lot, and they got Kansas next.
Speaker 1: I still will give me, give me the Cougars at home.
Speaker 3: Gimme k State to keep the good times rolling.
Speaker 2: BYU, looks ahead, gimme BYU.
Speaker 1: Other games are really nice, sexy slate of games in
Speaker 1: the rest of college basketball this week Battle in the
Speaker 1: Big Ten, number sixteen, Wisconsin at number seven, Perdue. I
Speaker 1: think we all want the boiler Makers, yep, yep. Number
Speaker 1: twenty one, Missoo going at Georgia. I will feel the
Speaker 1: Tigers a little bit. Give me them on the road.
Speaker 2: Dogs Tigers.
Speaker 1: Game of the day Number one are and at number
Speaker 1: two Alabama and Tuscaloosa. I believe it's the game day game.
Speaker 1: I think Alabama wins, but not just here. I would
Speaker 1: take them if the game was at Auburn as well.
Speaker 1: I think the Crimson Tide are the class of college
Speaker 1: basketball this year.
Speaker 3: I will take Alabama.
Speaker 2: Give me Bama.
Speaker 1: Number twenty two. Mississippi State at number nineteen Old Miss
Speaker 1: and a rivalry game. I think we all want Chris
Speaker 1: Beard to land the punch.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Beard by knockout.
Speaker 1: Number fifteen Kentucky at Bubble Team question Mark Texas. I, oh, man,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna whoever I pick will lose this game.
Speaker 2: Give me Texas, I man, I'm still gonna give me Kentucky. Oh,
Speaker 2: Kentucky by I.
Speaker 1: Can't do it. I hate this, but yes, I think it,
Speaker 1: not by a lot, but I think they win. Number
Speaker 1: twenty Michigan at Ohio State. We all know what happened
Speaker 1: the last time Michigan and Ohio State played the Buckeyes
Speaker 1: wouldn't lose again. I don't think that's gonna happen, but
Speaker 1: I think the result is the same. Well, wait, it's
Speaker 1: in Columbus. Okay, fine, buck Eye's not bad.
Speaker 2: They give me a hot state, Yeah, screw it.
Speaker 1: Give me a hot state and a battle between the
Speaker 1: top two teams in the Big East. Number twenty four
Speaker 1: Creighton at number nine Saint John's. I look, I I
Speaker 1: think that Saint John's wins the game, but it wouldn't
Speaker 1: surprise me if they've kind of already peaked a little bit.
Speaker 3: I'll give me Saint John's at home.
Speaker 2: Saint John's bounces back.
Speaker 1: All right, So our next show, I don't know up
Speaker 1: to you guys. Then they go at BYU back to
Speaker 1: back road games for your Kansas basketball Jayhawks. What is
Speaker 1: the percent chance they win them both?
Speaker 2: Twenty point zero four percent?
Speaker 1: Twenty I think twenty is more insulting than zero point
Speaker 1: four percent if we're being honest.
Speaker 2: Well, I'll be here to talk about Ryan we Oh
Speaker 2: even better, Coach Bill self stubborn ass.
Speaker 1: We'll be here to talk about how kJ Adams playing
Speaker 1: a combined seventy four minutes in those eighty games where
Speaker 1: they lost at least one of them. Oh man boy
Speaker 1: was his ip? How fun in Chicago? Wayne, I'm Ryan Landris.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm Landing Fields and I'm cam here for mothers
Speaker 2: against drunk driving through a dairy Queen.

Speaker 3: But if the mom speak out against it, then it'll
Speaker 3: get better.

Speaker 2: He's a winner.
Speaker 1: Bye.
