WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:07.200 Well, so that didn't go as planned? Please, at least 2 00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.839 the final score really makes it look like it didn't 3 00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:14.599 go as planned. I don't know if that like it 4 00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:16.920 was it was well, I mean you watched it, like 5 00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:19.920 I know that you clicked this podcast to hear us 6 00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:21.359 analyze it, and we will. 7 00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:22.280 Uh. 8 00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:24.239 And you know, there's a couple of different ways I 9 00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:28.600 could do with this. I could just just rip yep. 10 00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.640 I also could sit here and tell you, ah, I 11 00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:36.560 don't be okay, that team's really good that they lost 12 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.039 to I don't know. Well, we'll just kind of see 13 00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:41.039 how it goes. Do I hear do I hear the 14 00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:44.399 ice banging around a a Martini glass or something in 15 00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:45.479 the background, camp. 16 00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:48.320 I wish, I wish. Now that's just me banging my 17 00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:49.560 head repeatedly on the wall. 18 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.679 Oh, that's not even a drink. Okay. It sounded like 19 00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:54.719 I was gonna say, it's like a it's like a 20 00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.520 Scotch night. It sounds like in the lippled uh in. 21 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.000 The penthouse sweet in Chicago. 22 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:00.600 There you go. 23 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.280 Yeah, yeah, the six hundred and forty penthouse suite that 24 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.640 I'm living right as right across from a dairy queen. Hey. 25 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.120 Oh, there's worse restaurants to be right across the street 26 00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:11.040 fro I ranted in the middle of January. I don't 27 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:12.920 know if it's getting a lot of run with blizzards 28 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:14.480 and the snow and the literal b lizz. 29 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:16.599 No, I have not. I have not set foot in 30 00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:18.959 that establishment yet, but it does get a lot of traffic. 31 00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:20.200 It's it's kind of surprising. 32 00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:23.200 Dairy Queens have kind of fallen off a little bit, 33 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.400 not super unlike the basketball team we root for in 34 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:30.319 recent years. You know, there's still some time we'll talk 35 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:32.719 about it, so we don't have land and seeing a 36 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:35.640 movie tonight. I hope he enjoys it better than him 37 00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:38.840 than he enjoyed watching the game last night. I'll tell 38 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.239 you what did he tell us what he was seeing? Like? 39 00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:42.359 Are we just in the dark? 40 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:45.159 Uh? I feel like he told us there was some 41 00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:47.159 movie that he wanted to go see a few weeks ago, 42 00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.280 and I have nowhere to go with this other than 43 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.879 that statement. So you know, there's something about like a 44 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.879 film festival or there's some movie he wanted to see, 45 00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:58.319 or maybe that was he said he might go to 46 00:01:58.439 --> 00:01:59.640 Chicago for that. I don't know. 47 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.439 The only movie that I know of being out right 48 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:04.799 now is the Lion King movie, and that's not a 49 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.079 very land In movie. Wolfman is a little more of 50 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:08.919 a land In movie. Maybe that's what he's seeing. I 51 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:10.879 don't know. Well, I'll have to ask him. Let me 52 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:12.439 ask him. Let's see if I can get an answer when 53 00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:13.319 we're on the air. 54 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:14.319 No chance we can. 55 00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.280 Let's see if we can do it. This is inside 56 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:19.479 the Paint on Rock Chalk Blog two man show today, 57 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.800 But don't worry, we have We'll carry it home for 58 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:27.759 all of you dying for some analysis hashtag analysis. 59 00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:31.000 I'm Ryan Landrath and I am a very sad Kamlpool. 60 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:33.719 Yeah, Cam, you've bounced back and forth a little bit 61 00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:36.199 on your perception of the twenty twenty four to twenty 62 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.639 five Jayhawks. So how you feeling now? How you're feeling 63 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:41.400 after a seventeen point loss. 64 00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.400 I think I've come to the realization. So there's like 65 00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:46.960 multiple angles that we can take with the show. Number one. 66 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.719 Ryan's probably gonna take the take of, Hey, you know, 67 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:51.719 there was a six point game with five minutes to 68 00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.759 go and they just got boat raced in the last 69 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.840 few minutes. I'm gonna take the angle of same problems 70 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.280 as last year significantly better team than like last year, however, 71 00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:03.400 the same problems are still there. And we've seen this 72 00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:06.360 movie before, So I'm a little bit towards the side 73 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:08.879 of I think the season is trending in a direction 74 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:10.719 to where, yeah, they're gonna win a bunch of games 75 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:13.439 in a row, but the offense is not gonna do 76 00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.520 anything for me in terms of the NCAA tournament. So 77 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:17.759 that's kind of where I'm at. 78 00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:23.039 I think that's a relatively it's a great blend of 79 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:28.479 rational and also realistic while also not being a blind homer, 80 00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.439 which I'm going to attempt to do. I've leaned towards 81 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.520 the Homer take over the years, mainly because and it 82 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.120 doesn't just come from a place of like I like 83 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.280 Kansas basketball, which I do. It more so comes from 84 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:44.520 I have watched the final product work well way more 85 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.199 often than it hasn't. With Bill self, normally it they 86 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:52.080 figured it out in some capacity more often than they don't. 87 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:56.240 I turned on the Iowa State Kansas game from twenty thirteen. 88 00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:58.759 It's on a YouTube video on my TV right now, 89 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.400 the one where Elijah just went off in that building. Yeah, 90 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.159 just trying to get trying to get some good energy 91 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:07.080 here put into this show so I will enjoy watching 92 00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:10.080 and the offense. It's the first TV timeout and the 93 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:13.199 offense already has nine points. They're already like twenty percent 94 00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.120 of the way of how far last night's team went 95 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.920 in a full game like that. This is a different 96 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:21.360 sport I'm watching on my television right now. 97 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:23.480 They probably have half as many three pointers in that 98 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:25.680 first TV timeout as Kansas did yesterday. 99 00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.439 Yeah, they did they. I think Iowa State made sixteen 100 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.399 or seventeen that day, and I don't know if Kansas 101 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.560 has made that many in conference play if we're being honest. 102 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:34.959 All right, let's blow the air horn and talk all 103 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:38.560 about the twenty twenty five edition of Kansas v. Iowa 104 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.279 State at Hilton, which did not go as well as 105 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:44.920 some in the past. Final score Number two Iowa State 106 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:48.800 seventy four, Number nine Kansas fifty seven. We kind of 107 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.439 feared that. But the combination of that atmosphere and that 108 00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.839 team that Kansas was going up to play, as well 109 00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:58.439 as some recent history that the ingredients were in place 110 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.519 that it might snowball little bit on them should things 111 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:03.680 not go well at any point in the game. And 112 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:05.800 That's exactly what happened. Cam, tell me the game story. 113 00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.480 Yeah. The difference in AIMES on Wednesday night was the 114 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:12.839 final few minutes of each half. In an ode to 115 00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.360 Kansas football, I always State turned the very even first 116 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.120 half into a ten point halftime advantage with an eight 117 00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:21.160 to zero run over the final two minutes and the 118 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.920 second half, Kansas clawed its way back and trilled fifty 119 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:26.639 seven to fifty two five minutes left. The play of 120 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:28.680 the night was when IOA State missed two free throws 121 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:31.519 and Hunter Dickinson failed to get the rebound. To be honest, 122 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:32.839 it did not look like a lot of effort was 123 00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:35.360 put into that rebound. The Cyclones made a three on 124 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:37.720 the ensuing possession and they ran away from that point. 125 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.480 The final result was a seventeen point loss. That wasn't 126 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:42.720 indicative of how close the game was, but it does 127 00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.959 expose the problems that Kansas has had closing out halves. 128 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:51.199 Yep. And my first question to you is, all right, 129 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.000 what how how big of a deal are we gonna 130 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.920 make this one? Like I won't even give you two, 131 00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.040 three options or whatever. Just how big of a deal 132 00:05:59.040 --> 00:05:59.959 are we making that one? 133 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.839 I mean, in the scope of the entire season. It's 134 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:05.639 not that big of a deal, but I do think 135 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:08.079 it is kind of highlighting the same problems that we 136 00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.160 saw last year with this team. I texted the group 137 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.720 chat earlier today that my main takeaway from this game 138 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:17.959 is that Kansas kind of lacks the dog mentality that 139 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.920 they had during the twenty tens under self, when you 140 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.600 had teams like the Josh Jackson team Frank Mason team, 141 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.240 those teams would go into tough environments and it wasn't 142 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:28.560 an expectation that they would keep the game close. It 143 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.519 was expected that they would win. Yesterday, during that game, 144 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:33.680 I never had a single second where I thought that 145 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:35.439 they were actually going to come out on top. Even 146 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:38.639 when it got down to four points, I still was like, 147 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.759 what's gonna happen next, Who's gonna make a backbreaking three pointer? 148 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.439 And that's exactly what happened. So, Yeah, Kansas will be fine. 149 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.800 They're gonna win twenty six games in the regular season 150 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:52.920 and whatever it is. But the same issues are still 151 00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:54.920 there and the rotations don't make any sense. 152 00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:58.279 Ryan, I agree with what you just said. We're definitely 153 00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.480 gonna talk about the rotations. We're gonna talk about the issues, 154 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:02.800 But you mentioned at no point in that game didn't 155 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:04.839 feel like a game campas was gonna win, in large 156 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:08.720 part because the dog mentality the team hasn't been as 157 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.879 aggressive or hasn't been as efforty as they have been 158 00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:16.240 in the past. Was the feeling that what makes you 159 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:18.600 so sure that the reason that you felt like you 160 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:20.680 never had a feeling that were gonna win, what makes 161 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:22.720 you so sure it was because of that and not 162 00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:25.279 because they were playing a top two team that hadn't 163 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:26.920 lost a home game in two and a half years 164 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:28.279 on their home floor, because. 165 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.800 That was a Good's a fair question. Me, Yeah, that's 166 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.199 a fair question. I think it's because we've seen this 167 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:37.600 team lose badly in tough environments so much in the 168 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:39.439 last two seasons. I mean, you think about the game 169 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:41.639 last and this isn't a fair comparison, right because they 170 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.399 were without Kevin McCuller, But you think about the game 171 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:47.000 last year at Houston, just games where it's a big game, 172 00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:50.120 it's a big opportunity and it tends to swing in 173 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.839 the other team's favor late, and to me, that was 174 00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:55.800 the biggest difference. And granted a lot of that came 175 00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:58.519 from I was stayed making tons of three pointers. That's 176 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.399 also something that we've seen under tons of Billsolf losses. 177 00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:04.759 But again, I think part of it is just we've 178 00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:06.879 seen this happen so much with this core group of 179 00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.519 guys that it just seems like a recurring theme. If 180 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:10.480 that makes sense. 181 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:14.519 No, it does. It definitely makes sense. The words make sense. 182 00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:17.040 I don't think you can put this game in that 183 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:22.920 same category. We've seen many of those aforementioned blowout losses. 184 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:25.600 They had the Texas Tech game around this time last year, 185 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:29.439 the Houston game. We saw it happen to even Creighton 186 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:32.159 and Missouri games that they fell behind big early and 187 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.639 everybody questioned the effort and the grit and all that stuff, 188 00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.080 and they just wound up not winning the game. I 189 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.720 don't think this one fits in that category. They were 190 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.399 right there, down by four points through thirty five minutes 191 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:45.720 on the road. And look, I also understand if you're 192 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.000 listening to this and you're screaming this is the number 193 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.320 one team, this is Kansas or the preseason number one team, 194 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.480 just merely being in a game is not exactly the 195 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.240 bar we're going for here. You have the expectation to 196 00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:58.879 win every game when you're a preseason number one team 197 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:02.240 at a program like I get it. However, over the 198 00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:04.480 course of a season, this is probably the most difficult 199 00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:07.480 game on Kansas's entire schedule. It's definitely not one that 200 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.919 you realistically would have bet on Kansas winning entering it, 201 00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:15.679 and they were within five points with with five minutes left. 202 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.000 It got away from him at the end. I think 203 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:21.440 that the final score looks a lot more lopsided than 204 00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:25.519 the game really was. And you know, it's it's totally 205 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:28.799 fair for you to say, well, it's a seventeen point loss, 206 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:31.200 and you sent that tweet last night that said, like 207 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:34.360 the forty percent of their double digit losses underself off 208 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:37.440 coming the last like three years, So fair point. Fair 209 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.399 point for me to not have a great mound of 210 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.240 evidence in my favor saying this one's different, because this 211 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:46.600 Cores has found ways to lose more blowouts than a 212 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.039 lot of other Kansas themes. However, I don't know they've 213 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:51.679 still they had won three in a row before this. 214 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.639 We had just seen him scrap one out on the road. 215 00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:57.960 This same dog mentality that people have been clamoring to see. 216 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.679 You saw it against Cincinnati. I don't know that's just 217 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.039 kind of my two cents. I'm not gonna make a 218 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:03.840 big deal out of it. 219 00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:06.320 You know what's kind of funny to think about. I 220 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:08.639 just thought of this. The twenty twenty two team had 221 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:12.600 that insane blowout loss to Kentucky at home, and I'm 222 00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:16.600 pretty confident during that stretch everyone assumed that that team 223 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:19.399 wasn't going to do anything. Yeah, you could kind of 224 00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:21.919 make the case here, but I think the biggest difference 225 00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:24.519 is the fact that that team had three NBA players. 226 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:28.000 This team I can't say the same about. Granted, I 227 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:30.759 also think some of the best players aren't playing that much. 228 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.080 And again, if things turn around in a short period 229 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:37.039 of time on the offensive end, if the rotations get 230 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.759 figured out, they are so solid defensively, I think they're 231 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:42.080 number three in Ken Palm right now, but the offense 232 00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:44.720 is what forty fifth. If they can turn that around 233 00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:46.799 even just a little bit, this team will be fine. 234 00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:49.720 But it's just we've seen this before and it's kind 235 00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:52.080 of the same theme as last year, just with more depth. 236 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:55.279 Yes, if you're going to make if you're going to 237 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:59.240 make a comparison for this team, you gotta go with 238 00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:01.960 the twenty six team. Team because that was the one 239 00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:05.120 that was at the same point in the year actually 240 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.840 ironically lost that Iowa State to lose three out of five. 241 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:10.600 They started five and three in conference play, and then 242 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:12.759 they won out the rest of the regular season, won 243 00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:15.519 the Big TeV Tournament, steamrolled three straight teams in the 244 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.080 NCAA Tournament, and ultimately lost the Nova game that I 245 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.320 told you on your way to the game, they'd be 246 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.679 just fine. That's the comp you need to make with 247 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:25.200 this team if if you have if you're a glass 248 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:28.960 half full guy. Because that team wasn't loaded with pros either. 249 00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:32.519 It had Devonte Graham and Frank Mason right but before 250 00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.600 they really blossomed into full on superstars. That team was 251 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:38.320 juiced by Perry Ellison Wayne Selden, neither one of which 252 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:42.279 were NBA players. But so you had that roster that 253 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.480 had they had a better offense than this one. That 254 00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:46.600 offense snuck its way into the top fifteen at the 255 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:48.559 end of the year on Ken Pom. But that team 256 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:50.679 was all about defense. They were They finished third in 257 00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:53.399 Ken Palm that year on defense. This year's team currently, 258 00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:56.399 as you said, ranks number three. That's the comp if 259 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.799 you want a glass half full team. It's that if 260 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.080 you want a glass half fifty, it's probably last year 261 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:04.440 where they were still like seventeen and three through twenty 262 00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:07.039 games and then we just four fell out underneath it. 263 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:08.720 So and this team is so much better. 264 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:11.399 I think they are too. And I think this team 265 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:14.679 the difference is that the same thing with the with 266 00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:18.240 last year and this year is the pieces aren't fitting together. 267 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.320 The difference is, I think this team has the pieces 268 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:25.080 that can to this point in the year, they haven't. 269 00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:29.200 I think the ingredients are there. The coach saying the 270 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:32.039 coach is washed and it's time to move on, and 271 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:34.000 all these things I've seen on Twitter. The guy won 272 00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:36.600 a national championship two and a half years ago, like 273 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:41.759 that just seems the calls for Bill Self to be replaced, Yeah, 274 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:44.480 because he hasn't figured out the nil are exactly what 275 00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:49.440 do you want? Nobody wins more in the power leagues 276 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.080 than Bill self does. Like I'm gonna give him the 277 00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:55.440 benefit of the doubt here. I understand the hesitants, but 278 00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:58.480 pump the brakes a little bit, Tom, isn't you I'm 279 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:00.200 not not talking to you, by the way, you haven't 280 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.120 said anything ridiculous talking to like the fan base that 281 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.240 that is like, oh my gosh, they're falling out of 282 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:06.639 blue blood status, Like good. 283 00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:09.720 Lord, no, no, they're completely fine. Tom Izzo hasn't won 284 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:12.919 a title since two thousand and they've had probably the most. 285 00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:15.480 Towers were still up when tom Izzo won a title. 286 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.679 Yeah, yeah, TSA wasn't a thing. And then on top 287 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.120 of that, they've had a majority of their seasons within 288 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:24.759 the last five six years look a lot like the 289 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.440 ones Kansas had last year. And yep, kind of what's 290 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:30.600 happening this year, So Kansas is fine. 291 00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:34.000 They I would argue that Kansas's season last year was 292 00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:38.080 substantially better than like five or six seasons tom Izzo 293 00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:41.639 has had in the last couple a four seed. 294 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:47.360 Like people like his average seeds. Probably his average seed 295 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:51.919 is probably a four seed, just me spitballing here, but I. 296 00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:55.120 Bet it's lower than that, consider if your counting tournaments 297 00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:58.440 as like the average tournament seed. Probably, but that probably 298 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.279 doesn't even factor in how he's made the few tournaments. Yeah, 299 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:02.799 that's the thing. I saw a couple of people on 300 00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:05.399 Twitter say this team's gonna be just like last year's 301 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:07.840 come March, that team was a four seed, Like if 302 00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:11.559 that's the doomsday scenario here, one of the sixteen best 303 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:15.320 teams heading into the NCAA tournament. Yeah, it's gonna be okay. Now, 304 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:17.919 there are some doubts here, and we're gonna talk about him. 305 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:19.879 But my pet peeve that I want to lead off 306 00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:22.720 is people saying that the effort sucked. We obviously all 307 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:25.240 saw the hunter Dickinson. There were a couple different times 308 00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:28.440 that he didn't go for a rebound as hard as 309 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.000 fans would have liked him to on miss free throws, 310 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:32.879 and both times they bit Kansas right in the asset 311 00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:34.720 led right to five points. On those two points, we 312 00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:36.679 saw it. There were plays you could go back and 313 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:39.159 rewatch and in every single game you're gonna see moments 314 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:42.320 where a guy doesn't grab, doesn't dive on the floor, like, oh, 315 00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:43.759 we could have the Cam Newton play in the Super 316 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:45.559 Bowl comes to mind. Everybody watched that from the one 317 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:47.759 angle and thought, oh, he didn't die the way I 318 00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:50.879 thought that he should have dove, So outrage over effort. 319 00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:54.440 Let's not talk about this team not trying, because Bill self, 320 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:57.080 who knows this team far better than everybody else who's 321 00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:59.200 listening to this show, who doesn't listen to the show 322 00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:01.480 and is a fan of this show, a fan of 323 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:04.240 the program. Rather, bill Sell said that this week had 324 00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:07.320 been some of the best effort and he had seen 325 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:11.759 such an uptick in specifically guys like Dickinson and Adams's effort. 326 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:13.679 So going on Twitter and being like, these guys don't care, 327 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:15.440 These guys don't care what it means to have Kansas 328 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:17.240 on the front of their jersey. No, you can lose 329 00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:19.559 a game to a top two team and not play 330 00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:21.639 very well. You can say that they didn't play well. 331 00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:22.159 They didn't. 332 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:25.000 They played poorly on offense and the defense had moments 333 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:27.440 of breakdowns. But saying that they don't care, saying the 334 00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:30.440 effort sucks, do you do you with your eyeballs think 335 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.399 this effort is worse than the strongest effort team you've 336 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:36.080 ever seen. I think every every player I've ever watched 337 00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:39.080 play for Kansas cares with every fiber that they have. 338 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:41.759 And sometimes the execution isn't there. That doesn't mean the 339 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:43.000 effort and the heart aren't there. 340 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:45.600 No, I think I think the effort in the hearts Thereah, 341 00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:48.039 the Dickinson rebound was a bad look, but part of 342 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:49.720 it too. You have to if you look at the 343 00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:52.480 play of the ball was basically dribbling towards going out 344 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:54.759 of bounds. It very well might have actually been out 345 00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:58.440 of bounds when the when the Iowa State players saved 346 00:15:58.480 --> 00:15:59.399 in on the baseline, But. 347 00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:01.840 It was very close. I rewatched that play a couple 348 00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:04.879 of times wondering did was that real close? And yes, 349 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:08.279 you're right, of course you want Hunter Dickinson, all seven 350 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:10.000 two of them, to dive on the floor after it. 351 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:12.320 But what happens if he dives on the floor and 352 00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:14.320 it bounces off his hands and goes out of bounce 353 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:16.600 slong winto the ground. I'm not trying to defend Dickinson 354 00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:19.320 with everything, but it's like if he are going to 355 00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.720 specifically pinpoint one play or two plays in a in 356 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:26.919 an hour and fifty five minute real time basketball game 357 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:28.799 and say, well, you could have tried harder here. You 358 00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:32.240 could definitely go back to those twenty and fifteen sixteen years, 359 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:34.039 the year everybody wants him to be like and find 360 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:36.679 those moments too, like plenty of them. Yeah, for sure, 361 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:38.559 let's talk about the defense. 362 00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:43.000 Sure, Cave's defense is pretty good. Overall, they forced thirteen 363 00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:45.320 turnovers and held the Cyclones to forty one percent from 364 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.039 the floor. Of course, I always say, did shoot sixty 365 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.399 two percent from three, which is eight for thirteen. Several 366 00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:54.960 of those were Curtis Jones going off. Kansas problem was 367 00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:58.200 the offense just five for sixteen from deep, minus ten 368 00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:01.519 on the glass, and seventeen turnovers themselves. I am convinced 369 00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:05.200 you could strap Stephen Hawking to an artificially powered wheelchair 370 00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:07.000 and give him a basketball and he would go six 371 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:08.559 for six in Hilton against Kansas. 372 00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:11.599 Yeah, Curtis Jones was ridiculous. It's a little easier to 373 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:14.480 swallow knowing that he's arguably the Big twelve player of 374 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:16.920 the year right now. He's been fabulous, but he was 375 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:19.480 on and whenever you have a top three Big twelve 376 00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:22.039 player going off for one of the best nights they've 377 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:24.519 ever had, it's not gonna be good. And like, there's 378 00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:27.160 also some offsetting there. Kansas did a decent job against 379 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:30.279 everybody else. They got a break without dealing with Mom Sildovich, 380 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:33.359 who was hurt before the game. But let's talk about 381 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:35.279 the first off the things and that you said, I'm 382 00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:37.519 not concerned about this team's been good guarding the three, 383 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:41.359 and they were fine guarding it yesterday, like the three 384 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:44.880 point defense sucks tweets were very quiet because everybody could 385 00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:47.039 see you that they were watching a guy just go ridiculous. 386 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:49.799 In otherwise it was fine and the turnovers. Not concerned 387 00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:51.559 about the turnovers. This is one of the best teams 388 00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:53.519 in the country at taking care of the basketball. They 389 00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:55.359 went on the road in the toughest environment they're gonna 390 00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:57.839 play all year and played a team that historically forces 391 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:00.000 a lot of turnovers, and I thought it got better 392 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:01.559 throughout the course of the game. I think they had 393 00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:04.200 eleven turnovers in the first half and only six after halftime. 394 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.839 Turnovers happen sometimes in tough environments. Well, we are concerned 395 00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:10.720 about other rotations because wow, was Bill's self trying everything 396 00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:15.240 and nothing words. The big three of Hunter, Dickinson, kJ 397 00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:18.480 Adams into one Harris. They combined to make seven baskets 398 00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:22.200 in eighty eight combined minutes, which is obviously a huge 399 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.880 problem that cannot happen. But they also combined, in case 400 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:29.400 you need more stats, for eight turnovers, which is more 401 00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:32.279 than the baskets they made, and fourteen miss shots. Three 402 00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:35.480 fifth Yer seniors cannot do this. I guess cag is 403 00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:37.799 not a fifth year. So there's kJ fifth twenty two. 404 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:39.359 I don't think he. 405 00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:43.960 Is whatever whatever. Plenty of experience between these guys to 406 00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:47.119 be better than that. So okay, talk about the rotations. 407 00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:49.039 What did you see? What did you not see? Obviously 408 00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:51.119 that was a main talking point. A lot of people 409 00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:52.920 aren't happy with it, and I think they have every 410 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:55.480 reason to not be very happy with with those decisions. 411 00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:58.240 Yeah, I mean, I think the biggest thing to take 412 00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:00.880 away here, and again this is me being kind of 413 00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:04.839 pessimistic in general. I don't think any of these I 414 00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:07.680 don't think Dwan Harris, kJ Adams or Hunter Dickinson are 415 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.680 inherently the problem themselves. They're all very good basketball players. 416 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:13.519 I think the issue is they just do not fit 417 00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:17.920 well together, and especially when they're playing against really athletic teams. 418 00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:22.680 I just worry that Bill's self is going to put 419 00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:28.039 loyalty towards some of his players over potential performance. And 420 00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:31.480 in terms of the rotations, like it didn't make any sense, 421 00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:33.759 Like where was Ryland Griffin in the second half? 422 00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:36.359 I mean that's been a recurring problem too. That's a 423 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:38.799 recurring problem. Ryland Griffin didn't play in the first thirteen 424 00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:42.000 minutes of the second half, Self is continuously opting for 425 00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:45.000 guys like David Coyit to play in front of him, 426 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:47.480 and even aj Store got run late that I'll be 427 00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:49.279 at that was just kind of on the in the 428 00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:52.920 garbage time, almost like, okay, what is Bill self going for? 429 00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:55.319 You obviously goes for trust. He didn't play Shack More 430 00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:58.119 nearly as much as he had, which clearly the defense 431 00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:01.440 was okay even with Shaq off the floor, and I 432 00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:05.200 think Self quickly realized that playing More and Harris together 433 00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:10.079 wasn't working very well on offense either. Harris didn't play well. 434 00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:13.400 I'm okay seeing lineups with Harris out at whenever he's 435 00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:17.640 not playing well. And you know, here's the fascinating part 436 00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:20.599 with Harris is he scored what did Harris have? Eight points? 437 00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:23.279 Like that's basically what he averages, and the team scored 438 00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:28.319 fifty seven points, Like Harris's average nights are are contributing 439 00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:31.200 to the team not not scoring a lot of points. 440 00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:34.400 You notice it more whenever guys like Hunter and Zeke 441 00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:37.119 have off nights. But if the team scores fifty seven 442 00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:38.680 points and they got an average amount of point from 443 00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:42.319 their point guard, their point guard isn't scoring enough. kJ, Well, 444 00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:44.720 we'll get into it. kJ. I think in the first 445 00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:49.000 half you could argue did enough non scoring things to 446 00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:51.519 warrant playing time. I thought he played fine in the 447 00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:55.480 first half. Hunter Dickinson, in my opinion, was the biggest 448 00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:58.119 problem in the game. He was the one that you 449 00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:03.519 felt the most hit. His poor play was notice the most. 450 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:05.240 If you want to talk about his stats, we can 451 00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:05.839 kind of get. 452 00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:09.480 Into this a little bit. Yeah, Hunter Dickinson was head 453 00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:11.960 to have held to a season low six points in 454 00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:14.440 twenty nine minutes, going just three for ten from the floor. 455 00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:17.519 He also failed to shoot a free throw. He finished 456 00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:20.759 with eight rebounds and two blocks. He had four turnovers. 457 00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:23.000 The play everybody's talking about was but he didn't go 458 00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:26.039 all out for rebound on Iowa States miss free throw 459 00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:28.759 was turned into an offensive board and a dagger inducing 460 00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:29.880 three by the Cyclones. 461 00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:33.279 Tough night for Dickinson, really tough night for Dickinson. I'm 462 00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:35.039 not gonna sit here and make a lot of excuses 463 00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:37.000 for him. I'll give him one one excuse. This is 464 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:39.880 a pretty tough matchup for him. Iowa States is their 465 00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:42.759 blend of height and athleticism, and before people say, well 466 00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:45.480 that's basketball, it is but Iowa State has put a 467 00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:47.319 lot of guys in a blender this year. They have 468 00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:50.200 a great defense. They've they're fifteen to one, like I 469 00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:52.640 mean they are. This is what they've done to teams 470 00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:56.480 all year. Kansas needed Dickinson and the problem and you 471 00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:59.440 know that I've been a pretty staunch Dickinson defender. Here's 472 00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:02.680 the problem with him. When Kansas really needs him a 473 00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:05.880 little more often than not, he's no showed in some 474 00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:09.440 big halves when they fall behind, he does kind of disappear. 475 00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:12.400 They need him to be a guy, especially considering how 476 00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:15.200 frequently they run the offense through him. They need to 477 00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:17.960 be a team. He needs to be a guy that says, hey, 478 00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:20.279 we're down ten, give me the ball. I'll make shots 479 00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:22.480 on back to back possessions. All of a sudden, we're 480 00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:25.680 down six, get another stop. I'll draw a foul, maybe 481 00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:27.799 hit a free throw to keep working us climb back. 482 00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:31.640 Dickinson really has disappeared whenever the team has fallen behind 483 00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:34.680 by more in this case, and that's my main problem 484 00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:37.319 with him. This is a tough matchup for him, But 485 00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:40.640 I posted a halftime when they were down ten. Can't. 486 00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:43.079 This is a big half for Hunter Dickinson. He needs 487 00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:45.160 to will them back a little bit and get involved 488 00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:47.359 in this top ten matchup. He only made one bucket 489 00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:49.920 in the second half. That's the problem, and I get 490 00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:53.440 why fans are frustrated that they're I'm all American center 491 00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:57.359 in these big He's great. Hunter Dickinson is great when 492 00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:00.759 you are playing from ahead, when you are playing from behind. Yeah, 493 00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:04.799 it's it's he's disappeared a little more often than then. 494 00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:07.119 I think I've given him than than I've than I 495 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:08.839 pointed out in the past. I don't know how fair 496 00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:09.240 is all that. 497 00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:11.359 I think it's pretty fair. I will say that is 498 00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:13.920 the one criticism that I heard from Michigan fans back 499 00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:16.839 when he was playing at Michigan was that he's very 500 00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:19.960 very good in games against Rutgers, but when you play 501 00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:23.519 against the big name schools and big games, he typically disappears. 502 00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:25.400 I hope that's not the case, but we've seen this 503 00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:27.759 a few times. He did have a bad game, he 504 00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:30.559 had a tough matchup. I'm not too concerned about him. 505 00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:33.160 I think he's still If you don't have Hunter Dickinson 506 00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:37.920 on this team, this team is incredibly worse. But yeah, 507 00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:40.039 I mean it is concerning he did not have a 508 00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:42.759 good game. Even some of his passes, like outlet passes 509 00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:45.599 and just kind of passes in general, were pretty sloppy, 510 00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:47.160 So it just didn't look like he was all there. 511 00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:50.000 They sped him up clearly. Their their goal was to 512 00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:52.440 speed him up, and he's not comfortable having to play 513 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:55.359 super fast. I think he's actually adjusted a little bit. 514 00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:58.039 We've seen a little bit more of that downhill driving 515 00:23:58.200 --> 00:24:00.480 kind of attack from him in the last couple games 516 00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:03.519 that he really wasn't doing very much of until conference play. 517 00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:08.559 But certainly like that's the sort of thing that teams 518 00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:11.039 know that he's been in college for so long, teams 519 00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:13.519 know exactly how to scout him. We have seen him 520 00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:16.559 whenever you say he's against the big competition, he hasn't 521 00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:18.599 always been great. He had that's not to say he 522 00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:21.440 hasn't had games like he's had the Kentucky game last year. 523 00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:23.880 He's had a couple of conference games TCU comes to 524 00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:26.640 mind last year wherever he really puts the team on 525 00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:29.039 his back and and he he can win you games. 526 00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:32.319 He's not a complete no shower against any team you've 527 00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:36.000 heard of, but more often than than you would expect 528 00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:39.640 for a guy with these expectations. We need that guy 529 00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:41.920 to help will you back sometimes, and I can't think 530 00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:44.240 of a time Hunter Dickinson willed them back other than 531 00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:45.519 the Kentucky game last year. 532 00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:47.880 I put it this way, I think that there's a 533 00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:51.000 common theme in almost all of Kansas's losses, and it's 534 00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:52.640 that Hunter Dickinson has a bad game. 535 00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:56.119 Yeah, oh for sure, and that's that's a little bit selfish. 536 00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:00.319 Like that also makes sense because when anybody's a eighteen 537 00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:02.720 and eleven guy has a bad game, it's gonna hurt 538 00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:05.599 the team a lot. But you're completely right. The exception 539 00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:08.799 to that, statistically would be the Missouri game, where he 540 00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:11.319 did put up a lot of numbers. However, he didn't 541 00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:13.680 play well in the first half when they were getting slammed. 542 00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:16.279 We obviously saw him shut down pretty good against Creighton, 543 00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:19.960 he didn't play particularly well against West Virginia, especially on defense, 544 00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:21.759 and then in this game his worst game of the year. 545 00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:24.359 There are three l's, four l's and all like that 546 00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:26.960 makes a lot of sense. I guess we probably also 547 00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:29.480 have to talk about kJ kJ Adams four points, just 548 00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:32.680 one for five from the floor, six rebounds, four assists 549 00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:35.119 in threeenty twenty four minutes. Look, I will give him 550 00:25:35.160 --> 00:25:38.039 credit for his better free throw shooting in his rebounding, 551 00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:40.759 and he does have. He made a handful of plays 552 00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:42.640 in the first half. From a hustle perspective. I know 553 00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:46.319 he missed a couple of layups in consecutive in succession, 554 00:25:46.359 --> 00:25:48.720 but wow, he does did he make a couple of 555 00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:50.799 plays that only he can make. But if you're gonna 556 00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:52.759 play twenty four minutes on the road against the top 557 00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:54.880 two team, you gotta make more than one basket. As 558 00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:58.240 Kansas's fore man, he injured his right shoulder early in 559 00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:00.680 the second half. Looked really bad. We wondered about a 560 00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:03.960 collarbone or at minimum joint sprain. He actually came back 561 00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:06.000 in a few minutes later, but then reinjured it and 562 00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:09.559 left for good after that, which is I have questions 563 00:26:09.559 --> 00:26:11.480 why they put him back in the first place, if 564 00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:14.279 it was that easy to reaggravate. Bill self said after 565 00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:16.079 the game, they don't have a lot of information here, 566 00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:18.759 but Kansas will be quote very lucky if he doesn't 567 00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:22.240 miss time. My takeaway on kJ as the offense made 568 00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:25.039 a couple of runs without him, and right whenever fans 569 00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:28.000 were clamoring at the bit to say, see, they're better 570 00:26:28.039 --> 00:26:32.279 without kJ than a run that probably doesn't happen with him, 571 00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:36.440 happens whenever they fell apart defensively late and it got 572 00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:37.960 away from him. 573 00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:42.640 Yeah, he's like the ultimate glue guy. He was everywhere 574 00:26:43.240 --> 00:26:44.680 on the court in the first half. I mean, he 575 00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:48.440 was saving loose balls, getting offensive it just he was everywhere. 576 00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:51.079 But you do need more scoring out of him if 577 00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:53.759 he's gonna play that many minutes. Hopefully he's not injured 578 00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:56.319 to too badly. I think it'll be interesting to see 579 00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:59.440 what happens against Kansas State with him probably not playing. 580 00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:01.880 Is He is an important part of this team. It's 581 00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:03.799 just a question of where he fits in the rotations. 582 00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:05.920 And I do not envy Bill self for having to 583 00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:06.880 figure that out. 584 00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:09.039 Well, let's talk about that thing, because we're obviously not 585 00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:11.000 Bill Salt, but we have thoughts. Okay, let's say that 586 00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:14.480 kJ is not playing, Kj's out against k State. Who 587 00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:16.480 are you starting in his place? I assume you're saying 588 00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:21.440 Ryland Griffin. Yeah, I would agree, and I suspect that 589 00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:23.880 would be who Bill goes with. I could also see 590 00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:25.960 it being aj Store because he's a little bit more 591 00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:29.920 of your typical six foot seven. He's played the four before. 592 00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:33.640 Griffin certainly hasn't, but it would be just solely based 593 00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:38.160 on positioning at that point. So without Kju, I assume 594 00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:42.559 you want Dickinson and Flory combining for their what fifty 595 00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:48.960 five sixty minutes? Zeke Mayo's playing thirty five, Dewan's playing 596 00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:52.839 thirty That gets you a one hundred and twenty something 597 00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:56.039 like that, and then you want Griffin out there for 598 00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:57.839 what twenty five thirty minutes? 599 00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:00.880 Yeah, I think I just I want to see Ryland 600 00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:04.000 Griffin playmore. He is, He's he brings more than just 601 00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:05.839 shooting of the team. When you have a three point 602 00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:09.440 shooter that's tall, athletic, you spread the floor and it 603 00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:12.720 takes way more of the defensive attention to him, which 604 00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:14.880 opens up the lane for Hunter Dickinson. We've talked about 605 00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:17.680 this a bazillion times, but he needs to play more, 606 00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:19.359 and I also think he has potential to be one 607 00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:22.559 of their offensive best players. He's also really good at 608 00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:25.279 taking into the cup. That's something that Kansas has lacked. 609 00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:28.680 They're dead last and free throw at at free and 610 00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:31.880 it's just it's it's unbelievable for a team that was 611 00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:35.519 supposed to be just a jug er, not offensively, to 612 00:28:35.519 --> 00:28:38.400 have a team that is dead last and free throw 613 00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:40.839 it's up rate, it's it's insane. 614 00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:43.480 It's very weird. Like yes, and the stat you're referencing, 615 00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:46.279 Kansas is dead last out of three hundred and sixty 616 00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:49.319 four Division one teams. They have the worst free throw 617 00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:52.599 rate of any team in college basketball. And that considering 618 00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:55.440 how you mentioned, like, that's the sort of stat that 619 00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:58.680 you would anticipate from like that twenty eighteen team that 620 00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:02.599 shot a lot of threes. This one plays inside and 621 00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:05.839 they can't. So like this year, I'm looking at the stats, 622 00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:11.680 Kansas has attempted one thoy and twelve field goals, and 623 00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:14.559 you take the three pointers out, that's three hundred and thirty. 624 00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:18.000 So they've attempted six hundred and eighty two twos and 625 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:21.279 they have they have only shot two hundred and one 626 00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:26.559 free throws, So that is three point four two point 627 00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:30.920 basket attempts for every one free throw that they're making. Now, 628 00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:34.440 if you want some statistics to go back to, I'm 629 00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:36.799 gonna go back to twenty thirteen because the first thing 630 00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:38.119 that I thought of a guy who drew a lot 631 00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:42.400 of fouls was Jeff WII. That year's team took let's 632 00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:44.720 fit let's see here. That year's team took thirteen to 633 00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:48.000 twenty eight threes, and they took seven hundred and forty 634 00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:52.279 eight free throws. So that is one point seven to 635 00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:55.240 seven two point baskets for every free throw attempted. This 636 00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:58.559 year's team is double that, three point four two point 637 00:29:58.599 --> 00:30:01.160 attempts for every free throw taking. Yeah, that's not a 638 00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:03.480 good way. That explains the fifty seven points. 639 00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:06.279 Yeah. And then also it's it's not even that they're 640 00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:09.480 just taking two pointers. It's the fact that they're not layups. 641 00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:12.799 They're like contested mid range jump shots or shots away 642 00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:15.519 from the rim, and that is that is the problem. 643 00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:18.359 It's spacing. It's just it's so obvious. 644 00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:22.079 Several times too. Aj Storer did this. He made it, 645 00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:24.279 but we've seen guys do this several times where they 646 00:30:24.319 --> 00:30:27.240 pass up a semi open three to get a order 647 00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:31.200 shot that's worth two points. It's like, why, just yes, 648 00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:33.920 we'll run it. And we talked about some of these guys. 649 00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:36.319 So Ryland Griffin got nineteen minutes, but most of it 650 00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:38.440 was in the final eight. Most of it took kJ 651 00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:41.079 getting hurt to get him out there. For nobody could 652 00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:42.640 figure out why he couldn't get in the game. In 653 00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:45.079 the second half, he scored seven points on three for 654 00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:48.799 four shooting. The offense definitely is better with Ryland Griffin 655 00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:52.039 in the game. The defense may not be. Aj Storer 656 00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:55.000 did get ten minutes, but filed four times and took 657 00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:57.440 a couple of terrible shots. He finished with five points. 658 00:30:57.960 --> 00:30:59.839 One was a jumper in the first half. That was 659 00:30:59.880 --> 00:31:02.799 not three were whenever the game was over. David Koit 660 00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:05.240 didn't score in seven brutal minutes. He has had a 661 00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:08.519 rough conference play so far, and Rickie's passmore got seven 662 00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:12.200 minutes of statless run. When Bill chose death over playing 663 00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:14.440 a center with two first half fouls, oh my god, 664 00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:16.920 what the hell was that? Damn I'll give you the 665 00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:19.200 floor in a second to talk all about Griffin and 666 00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:22.440 all that, but Hunter Dickinson, and I'm not saying Hunter 667 00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:25.079 was the right choice for this game. Hunter Dickinson averages 668 00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:27.720 one foul in twenty one minutes this year. That is 669 00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:30.960 less than two fouls per forty. You could have him 670 00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:33.839 have three fouls in the first half, and you could 671 00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:36.359 have three fouls in the first half, and statistically he 672 00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:38.559 still wouldn't fall out playing every second the rest of 673 00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:40.480 the way. He does not need to be auto benched. 674 00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:42.960 And Bill self was like, I guess we're just gonna 675 00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:45.839 ride until the floor falls out. He put Hunter back 676 00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:48.559 in whenever they fall behind eight. It's like, why why 677 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:50.960 are you playing that long without a center for someone 678 00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:54.319 who so hasn't to play everybody else? Like, that's insane, man, 679 00:31:54.799 --> 00:31:57.839 The two foul auto bench rule is idiotic. Okay, that's 680 00:31:57.839 --> 00:31:59.000 just my take on that. I know you want to 681 00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:00.119 talk about Griffin. 682 00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:01.839 Yeah I do, But I also want to say I 683 00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:04.319 think three out of three out of every four buckets 684 00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:06.519 that I see AJ Storm make is like the Chris 685 00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:08.240 Paul makes a big three to cut the lead to 686 00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:08.759 forty two. 687 00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:12.000 Meme can't think of a consequential shot AJ Store has 688 00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:13.400 North Carolina. 689 00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:17.119 I can't think of one. Uh, it's not great. Yeah, 690 00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:21.400 I know, Ryland Griffin, God, please just playing more. Just 691 00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:22.279 give him some run. 692 00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:24.319 Who do you want him to play over? I assume 693 00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:24.759 it's quit. 694 00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:27.480 It's yeah, it's quite And David Quot's a really good 695 00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:31.960 player too. But Ryland Griffin's a six six foot six 696 00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:33.519 wing that can shoot and drive. 697 00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:37.160 No, David Koit isn't David Kuoit doesn't get the Dewan Harris. Well, 698 00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:39.599 if he's not shooting, he still does other that. No, 699 00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:41.799 I'm not doing that already. They have a point guard 700 00:32:41.880 --> 00:32:43.240 that they say it about, and they have a four 701 00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:44.839 man that they say that, I'm not doing that with 702 00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:49.839 somebody else. So David kit in conference play in five games, okay, 703 00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:53.279 he's averaging thirteen minutes. In those five games, he scored 704 00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:57.680 five total points five That is one point zero per 705 00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:01.559 game while shooting ten percent from the flour and seven 706 00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:10.480 seven percent from three. Five. Charlie Moore is an All 707 00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:14.119 American Compared to that, David Coit has played sixty four 708 00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:17.200 minutes in conference play. He's one for fourteen shooting threes. 709 00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:19.400 He's two for twenty from the floor. He's ozer for 710 00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:22.839 two with the free throw line. Gosh, yeah, no that 711 00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:25.359 that this this cannot happen. He is he's a good 712 00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:28.119 shot creator and he brings value to a team. He's 713 00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:30.680 a ball handler off the bench. He cannot play over 714 00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:32.759 Ryland Griffin. If your offense isn't gonna get out of 715 00:33:32.759 --> 00:33:36.240 the fifties, that's that's asinine. Like I don't care how bad. 716 00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:39.880 Griffin is on defense, Coy is worse on offense, and 717 00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:41.920 you have other players on the floor that are supposed 718 00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:43.119 to help you defensively. 719 00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:46.279 Yeah, I'll just I'll never understand the whole thing of 720 00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:48.640 what's going to the transfer portal. Let's get a high 721 00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:51.400 level transfer that played on a Final four team, and 722 00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:54.119 then let's not play him over a five foot seven 723 00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:56.720 shooting guard that shooting seven percent from three? 724 00:33:57.119 --> 00:33:58.759 Trust, man, It's all about trust. 725 00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:02.119 What what are we doing? And I'm look, I'm a 726 00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:05.400 full full imbecile. I am an idiot. If you listen 727 00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:08.119 to the show, you know I'm fully fledged stupid. But 728 00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:10.280 I know that's a dumb choice, Like what are we doing? 729 00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:11.800 Playing well? Put them in the game. 730 00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:15.079 It's resulted in so much offense as Kansas had one 731 00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:17.760 hundred and eleven points. That's really exciting. You know any 732 00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:20.639 time the Virginia score one hundred and eleven point Oh 733 00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:24.119 oh wait, I'm I'm being told it was in two games. 734 00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:28.519 They're Virginia, dude, that's please don't say they're Virginia. 735 00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:30.639 They are. No, they are Statistically you know what I'm 736 00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:33.880 going on a rant here, statistics, This team is Virginia. 737 00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:37.519 They are. This team is twenty eighteen Virginia, which, yeah, 738 00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:41.239 they won a title. Congratulations, they had to burn a pig. 739 00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:45.360 Eighteen, I was that it was the one that lost 740 00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:48.320 to the sixteen seed. Nineteen is the title one in nineteen? 741 00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:51.280 I lost track of years. I'm old. But the point 742 00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:54.360 is the Ken Palm rating for Virginia's offense in that 743 00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:57.840 twenty nineteen season was number forty. They had the number 744 00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:00.000 one defense in the country. Kansas is currently number four 745 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.519 forty five and Kenna Palm on offense number three in defense. 746 00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:04.039 They are the same team. 747 00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:07.320 Yeah, and the problem, well, one, Virginia played in easier 748 00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:09.800 League two. Virginia had a lot of breaks in the 749 00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:12.239 NCAA tournament to win that, which who doesn't it happens. 750 00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:15.679 And the other part with Virginia is their offense wasn't 751 00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:18.760 sexy to watch, but they played at such a slow 752 00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:21.360 pace that their numbers were always gonna lean a little worse. 753 00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:25.599 Kansas doesn't play that slow. Kansas gets way more possessions 754 00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:28.599 to have finished the same number of points. Yeah they are. 755 00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:30.480 They are the worst team in the country getting the 756 00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:32.480 free throw line. As we just said, Yeah, that's great. 757 00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:35.599 Point guards. Duwan Harris, I thought, for my money had 758 00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:37.719 a miserable night. He finished with eight points and seven 759 00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:40.400 assists in thirty five minutes, three for six shooting. The 760 00:35:40.440 --> 00:35:42.440 misses were brutal. There was a try to try to 761 00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:44.280 go to the rim on a one on four fast 762 00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:48.079 break that didn't work. He churged over three times shack 763 00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:50.960 more twenty two minutes and added four points and four rebounds. 764 00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:54.519 Some fans wanted more to run the offense alongside three 765 00:35:54.519 --> 00:35:57.199 wings when kJ went out, but self rode Harris for 766 00:35:57.280 --> 00:36:00.480 thirty five minutes, all the way to fifty seven total points. 767 00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:04.800 I think the one Harris is a really good basketball player. However, However, 768 00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:08.400 if Hunter, Dickinson and kJ Adams aren't gonna score, you're 769 00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:11.400 you know Harris isn't and they're sixty percent of your 770 00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:12.639 guys aren't non scorers. 771 00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:15.559 Yeah, if two of the big three won't score, let's 772 00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:16.840 give it to the guy with a head band that 773 00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:18.360 won't shoot when he's wide open. 774 00:36:18.800 --> 00:36:22.519 Enough of the big three, I'm so over the phrase 775 00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:25.480 big three. When two of those guys don't score more 776 00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:26.760 they score Harrison. 777 00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:29.320 One of them is an undersized power forward and the 778 00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:31.519 other weighs like one hundred and forty pounds and whar's 779 00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:33.320 a head band? I don't think you can call them 780 00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:34.840 the Big three, dude. 781 00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:38.280 Yeah, no, and the Big three. We're not laughing at 782 00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:40.519 the all American in here. I know people aren't thrilled 783 00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:44.039 about Hunter. But the guy that's averaging this year sixteen 784 00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:47.400 and eleven and that wasn't all American last year, he's 785 00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:51.960 not in the satire in the satire Big three category. 786 00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:54.480 It's the point guard in the fore Man that are 787 00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:58.440 averaging a combined like seventeen points this year while playing 788 00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:03.519 seventy combined minutes. That's yeah, when when forty of your 789 00:37:03.639 --> 00:37:06.199 minutes just about every game are getting you twenty points total. 790 00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:09.400 I just I really it. I stay up late at 791 00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:12.559 night wondering what Bill self is thinking sometimes, what went 792 00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:15.760 through his head of we saw this team suck last 793 00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:19.159 year with these three core players. Let's go get guys 794 00:37:19.239 --> 00:37:22.519 in the portal. But we're gonna damn sure rely on 795 00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:25.559 the same three guys that we saw phil miserably last year, 796 00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:27.400 because that's gonna make things way better. 797 00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:30.559 My guess for what Bill self is thinking, which is 798 00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:35.079 it is it is really that? Yeah, it's it's his 799 00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:37.320 It's his style of basketball, which he's won with in 800 00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:40.360 the past. Granted, offenses have gotten a lot better since then. 801 00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:44.079 My guess for what Bill is thinking is, Okay, last 802 00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:49.239 year didn't go. But Harris and Dickinson and Adams were 803 00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:52.880 all for the most part, good basketball players. Last year. 804 00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:55.960 They had fine stats. I don't think anybody thinks those 805 00:37:56.039 --> 00:37:58.440 any of those three were bad last year. I think 806 00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:02.079 he's thinking, I have three good players. The problem was 807 00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:05.559 everybody else, which I think is that was the biggest 808 00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:07.519 problem last year was the guy's playing the two and 809 00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:10.880 three once mccolor went down, So I'll just I'll go 810 00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:13.880 get shooters, and now he's got them, but he doesn't 811 00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:16.239 want to play him because that's the way more free 812 00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:19.880 form basketball than he's ever used to. Yeah, he's gonna 813 00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:22.079 have to adjust it at some point, which I believe. 814 00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:24.280 If he doesn't, I don't think he will. I don't 815 00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:27.360 think he will. I really think he will. Yeah. 816 00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:29.719 All he's done his own career is adjust He's won 817 00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:33.320 more games than really coach. Yeah. Yes, look, what would 818 00:38:33.559 --> 00:38:36.639 just think? Yeah, people said this about the eighteen team 819 00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:38.559 whenever he had all those three point shooters, and they're like, 820 00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:40.440 he's never gonna embrace it. And they did. They made 821 00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:41.039 a final four. 822 00:38:41.119 --> 00:38:46.880 Yeah yeah, but they didn't have there's no chance. And 823 00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:49.239 I look, I hope I'm wrong. Someone's gonna listen to 824 00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:51.840 this podcast and be like Kim hatesusme. No, I love Kansas. 825 00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:55.039 I've been to Kansas faim my whole life. I think 826 00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:57.199 he's gonna ride these guys until they lose in the 827 00:38:57.239 --> 00:38:58.119 round of thirty two to two. 828 00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:00.519 Ye Oh, I'm not saying that won't happen. I thought 829 00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:02.280 you meant like long term, going. 830 00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:05.039 For a long term yeah yeah, yeah, No. 831 00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:07.679 No, I think eventually he'll find the right how to 832 00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:10.800 win in the transfer portal. Ye but no, this year, 833 00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:13.159 I and and I don't know what he's supposed to What 834 00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:16.480 is he supposed to do this year? Like how would you? 835 00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:16.960 What do you? 836 00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:18.400 What do you do? Like? This is the team he's 837 00:39:18.400 --> 00:39:21.039 built there halfway through a season where he's he's got 838 00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:23.440 a senior point guard, a senior center, and a senior 839 00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:27.159 fore man that he has played with for years and 840 00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:28.360 believes they can win. 841 00:39:28.719 --> 00:39:30.760 Like Harris win, I'm. 842 00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:33.440 A championship by the way, like they it's not. It's 843 00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:35.920 not a far cry from reality. 844 00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:39.719 No, he Harris can This team can win with Harris 845 00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:42.559 at point guard. They can win with kJ Adams contributing. 846 00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:44.480 But it's got to be with the right rotations, the 847 00:39:44.559 --> 00:39:45.159 right minutes. 848 00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:48.800 And what I think I think the thing with kJ 849 00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:51.320 is I think he's being put in an unfair position 850 00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:54.920 as well, because he loves Kansas, he loves being here, 851 00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:57.599 he wants to win here. He was made to be 852 00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:01.320 your Kevin Young come up off the bench for thirteen. 853 00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:03.760 How about Mitch Lightfoot from a few years ago. He 854 00:40:03.960 --> 00:40:05.920 was made to be in that role, come off and 855 00:40:06.039 --> 00:40:09.000 provide the energy. And something kJ can do that Mitch 856 00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:12.519 couldn't is actually put up numbers. kJ can do that. 857 00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:15.159 That's the role he should be in. I'm not saying 858 00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:17.760 that he should be forced into that role this year 859 00:40:18.039 --> 00:40:20.719 for just anybody, because I don't think they went out 860 00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:23.559 and found the piece that you need to put him 861 00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:25.639 in that role, the piece that I would love loved 862 00:40:25.719 --> 00:40:27.440 them to go get as a stretch for like a 863 00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:31.039 Grant Nelson type at Alabama. A six foot nine guy 864 00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:34.559 that can rebound and shoot the ball and you sacrifice 865 00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:38.679 defense and athleticism right self, doesn't want that piece. I'm 866 00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:41.280 not saying you force kJ into being a sixth man 867 00:40:41.599 --> 00:40:44.559 simply because he would be best there because they don't 868 00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:46.280 have the other people. Like, who are you playing at 869 00:40:46.280 --> 00:40:49.679 the four AJ store? You can't serious at this point. Yeah, no, 870 00:40:49.960 --> 00:40:54.039 like they They didn't self didn't put that roster together 871 00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:57.320 to maximize what I think is kJ strength. He may 872 00:40:57.360 --> 00:41:01.320 think that kJ strength is something else. But yeah, there's 873 00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:03.360 two guys that we haven't talked about. We don't really 874 00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:06.599 need to. Zeke Mayo was their best player. Seventeen points, 875 00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:09.280 seven for nineteen from the floor, three for nine from three, 876 00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:11.480 and thirty six minutes. They needed him to shoot a lot. 877 00:41:11.519 --> 00:41:14.119 He did. Nineteen attempts. He scored more than almost a 878 00:41:14.159 --> 00:41:16.679 third of the team's points by himself. He is fine 879 00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:17.480 and needs help. 880 00:41:18.519 --> 00:41:20.360 Yep, completely agree. 881 00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:24.159 Really good player, had a couple of dynamite three pointers 882 00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:26.840 where you're sitting there thinking, Man, I can't believe this 883 00:41:26.920 --> 00:41:29.239 guy grew up in Lawrence and the staff missed it 884 00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:30.599 until his last year in college. 885 00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:32.840 Yeah, completely agree. 886 00:41:33.159 --> 00:41:35.559 Tell me about Flory. He's the last one and there 887 00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:38.239 really hasn't a lot to talk about. But he great 888 00:41:38.280 --> 00:41:40.000 and flashes, but can't stay on the court. 889 00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:43.880 Yeah, foul troubles, we said before the game the floor 890 00:41:44.000 --> 00:41:45.639 was either going to be the X factor or guy 891 00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:47.880 that filed four times in eleven minutes. Take a guess 892 00:41:47.880 --> 00:41:50.199 of what happens. It was kind of both. Actually, he 893 00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:52.280 did foul four times in eleven minutes, but he was 894 00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:55.519 really impactful when he played, logging six points, four blocks, 895 00:41:55.519 --> 00:41:58.920 and three rebounds plus three turnovers in eleven minutes. He 896 00:41:59.119 --> 00:42:01.000 is going to be very good. I hope he's in 897 00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:01.880 Lawrence next year. 898 00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:06.000 Here's what I don't get with Flory. Florrie fouls almost 899 00:42:06.039 --> 00:42:08.960 exclusively when he's the only center on the floor, especially 900 00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:11.840 in these type of environments. Whenever he plays with Dickinson, 901 00:42:11.920 --> 00:42:13.760 he can go out a little further from the basket, 902 00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:16.760 and he uses his length to block more shots phel like, 903 00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:18.840 more of his jump shot phel Like. He blocks more 904 00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:20.760 as many jump shots as he has shots at the rim. 905 00:42:21.039 --> 00:42:23.559 He is at his best when he plays with Dickinson 906 00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:28.000 and Self. Albeit the first substitution Bill Self made was 907 00:42:28.440 --> 00:42:31.760 Flory forkj He went with the two bigs right away, 908 00:42:31.960 --> 00:42:34.840 Dickinson and Flory, and then he was real hesitant to 909 00:42:34.920 --> 00:42:36.239 use with the rest of way, probably because they both 910 00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:38.639 had foul trouble, but still that's the lineup I want 911 00:42:38.679 --> 00:42:42.159 to see utilized more. I want to see a point guard, 912 00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:46.960 two shooters, and both sinners. I think that's your best 913 00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:48.559 offensive lineup at the moment. 914 00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:51.719 Yeah, can you imagine a lineup where it's like Florri 915 00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:54.679 Hunter Zeke Rylan. 916 00:42:55.599 --> 00:43:00.079 Point guard and throw Shack Moore out there because I 917 00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:01.800 thinks shooter than Harry. 918 00:43:02.960 --> 00:43:05.800 I agree, but it would have happened. 919 00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:08.840 It wouldn't be as good defensively, and that lineup blows 920 00:43:08.920 --> 00:43:11.960 up if either center gets into foul trouble. But that's 921 00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:14.800 that's I would I think if I was on, if 922 00:43:14.840 --> 00:43:17.840 I was running the show, I think that would be 923 00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:22.000 my switch. And and we said earlier that we said 924 00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:25.199 earlier that AJ is probably gonna start with kJ out. 925 00:43:25.239 --> 00:43:27.119 No he won't. It'll be floor he self will start, 926 00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:31.199 but doonga alongside Dickinson and they will squash Kansas State 927 00:43:31.239 --> 00:43:33.000 and everybody will be like, Wow, why didn't. 928 00:43:32.760 --> 00:43:35.400 They just do that all year school? Yes? 929 00:43:35.599 --> 00:43:36.079 Exactly. 930 00:43:36.519 --> 00:43:36.599 Uh. 931 00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:38.519 Do we have any other takeaways from this game? I 932 00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:40.480 think we did a pretty good job recapping it, keeping 933 00:43:40.519 --> 00:43:43.440 it level headed, but also not just being like it's okay, 934 00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:46.400 everyone loses there. I will say this they're three and 935 00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:48.599 two in conference play. I still think this team wins 936 00:43:48.599 --> 00:43:51.239 fifteen conference games. You look at the schedule, this was 937 00:43:51.280 --> 00:43:54.480 always going to be an l Whenever you're putting together, 938 00:43:54.559 --> 00:43:57.599 you're let me find somewhere between four and eight games 939 00:43:57.639 --> 00:43:59.800 they lose. This was always going to be one of them. So, 940 00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:03.119 just strictly from a looking forward perspective, next four games 941 00:44:03.119 --> 00:44:05.519 for Kansas, they have case State at home. They'll be 942 00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:08.679 a huge favorite. At TCU, they'll be a favorite there, 943 00:44:08.760 --> 00:44:10.639 and then back to back home. He was against Houston, 944 00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:14.079 very tough game, but you're at home and UCF big 945 00:44:14.079 --> 00:44:16.760 favorite at home. They should assuming there's not a home 946 00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:20.079 loss in there. Three and one at worst, you expect 947 00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:22.199 four and oh. That would get them to seven and 948 00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:25.039 two through nine conference games. I gotta think that's top 949 00:44:25.079 --> 00:44:27.960 two in the conference at that point going into February, 950 00:44:28.199 --> 00:44:30.719 and the road schedule is breaking a little better for 951 00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:33.559 Kansas than we thought. I think from a what you 952 00:44:33.559 --> 00:44:35.320 said earlier, I think they're gonna win a lot of 953 00:44:35.320 --> 00:44:39.800 big twelve games. This doesn't change that. However, what is 954 00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:44.679 becoming a little more pessimistic the problems regardless of how 955 00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:47.039 many games this team wins in league play, the problems 956 00:44:47.079 --> 00:44:49.400 are gonna be there going into the tournament regardless. 957 00:44:50.760 --> 00:44:55.519 Yeah, I think they're going to be quote air quotes fine. 958 00:44:55.559 --> 00:44:57.760 In terms of the regular season, They're going to win 959 00:44:57.800 --> 00:45:01.360 a lot of games. That's never been concern with Big 960 00:45:01.400 --> 00:45:04.239 twelve play. Yeah, they'll probably be about seven and two 961 00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:09.480 before heading to Waco. I just I'm pessimistic in terms 962 00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:12.679 of the style they're playing on offense doesn't translate typically 963 00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:15.880 to a lot of postseason success. So yep, maybe they'll 964 00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:16.400 figure it out. 965 00:45:17.159 --> 00:45:20.599 That's the sentence right there. If you give them fifteen 966 00:45:20.679 --> 00:45:23.159 Big twelve wins, what would that be going twelve and 967 00:45:23.199 --> 00:45:25.679 three the rest of the way, which I think is possible. 968 00:45:25.760 --> 00:45:27.960 Let's give them eleven and four, just for a little 969 00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:31.800 bit more of maybe what's more realistic. So eleven and 970 00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:36.320 four would be what twenty three and eight, twenty three 971 00:45:36.320 --> 00:45:39.000 and eight entering the Big twelve tournament. Say they win 972 00:45:39.039 --> 00:45:41.119 two games there and then lose, that gets you to 973 00:45:41.199 --> 00:45:44.159 twenty five and nine entering the Big twelve Tournament. Yeah, 974 00:45:44.199 --> 00:45:46.719 I think exactly are entering the NCAA's I think exactly 975 00:45:46.760 --> 00:45:48.280 what you just said is going to be what people 976 00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:50.920 say there good regular season a lot of quality wins, 977 00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:54.199 probably a three seed, but man, I just feel that 978 00:45:54.480 --> 00:45:58.800 sat one points exactly. Then you're crossing your fingers for matchups. 979 00:45:58.920 --> 00:46:02.159 Final score numbers here forty one percent from the floor, 980 00:46:02.239 --> 00:46:05.159 thirty one percent from three, a horrendous thirty six percent 981 00:46:05.159 --> 00:46:07.840 of the line. That's also not something we're super concerned about. 982 00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:10.360 This is a This is a good This team is 983 00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:13.760 good whenever it comes to uh, whenever it comes to 984 00:46:14.039 --> 00:46:16.760 making free throws. Not super concerned about that. They were 985 00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:19.000 minus ten on the glass. That was a problem, and 986 00:46:19.039 --> 00:46:23.320 they had seventeen turnovers, which is very, very bad. Overall, 987 00:46:23.320 --> 00:46:26.360 frustrating night for Kansas. The seventeen point loss makes it 988 00:46:26.360 --> 00:46:28.559 look worse than it was. And now they get to 989 00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:31.360 sharpen their teeth a little bit. With four winnable games 990 00:46:31.400 --> 00:46:36.800 coming up, we'll see how they bounce back by big 991 00:46:36.960 --> 00:46:40.199 twelve games. Well, Cam, if there's one thing that we 992 00:46:40.239 --> 00:46:44.440 can bet on, it's that no matter how poor Kansas plays, 993 00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:47.480 you know they won't be the worst team in the state. Because, 994 00:46:47.559 --> 00:46:50.440 oh my goodness, gracious, what happened in maybe this week? 995 00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:55.760 Faith Well Feed Families, Texas Tech sixty one Kansas State 996 00:46:56.119 --> 00:47:00.679 also known as on this amazing podcast as Them Bitches 997 00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:05.280 fifty seven Now Camp, Sam, If I told you right 998 00:47:05.320 --> 00:47:10.559 now that the game was tied with five minutes left 999 00:47:10.760 --> 00:47:15.239 and Texas Tech only scored four points after that, I 1000 00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:18.800 know you're not great with math, terrible with math, But 1001 00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:22.159 if you knew that those things were the truth, you'd 1002 00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:25.400 have to probably like Kansas State's chances pretty good. 1003 00:47:25.280 --> 00:47:29.079 Right, knowing nothing else in not having What if I 1004 00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:30.360 had not watched the game? Yeah? 1005 00:47:31.800 --> 00:47:34.960 What if I told you that with five minutes and 1006 00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:38.159 fifty seconds left it was tied and then Texas Tech 1007 00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:39.840 went on to score four points the rest of the 1008 00:47:39.880 --> 00:47:43.800 game and Texas Tech won by four points? What would 1009 00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:44.320 that tell you? 1010 00:47:44.960 --> 00:47:48.039 Oh? 1011 00:47:48.320 --> 00:47:51.800 Yeah, Kansas State is now seven losses in their last 1012 00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:54.199 eight games. They would have won if they would have 1013 00:47:54.239 --> 00:47:56.679 scored five points in the final six minutes, and instead 1014 00:47:56.719 --> 00:48:00.320 they scored a zero. And after the game, Jerome Tang says, man, 1015 00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:02.679 we had such a great week of practice, so I 1016 00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:05.079 like the direction our team's going. Well, we'll see, you know, 1017 00:48:05.079 --> 00:48:07.719 I'm gonna go frog Allen. They haven't won up fog 1018 00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:10.519 Allen since you and Landon were in preschool. I think 1019 00:48:10.639 --> 00:48:13.840 so can't can't help but think that that's a great 1020 00:48:13.880 --> 00:48:14.920 bet to end a couple of. 1021 00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:19.480 Can you imagine the Twitter mentions of Rock Chalk Blog 1022 00:48:19.559 --> 00:48:22.800 if Kansas State were to win at far this weekend. 1023 00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:25.760 If Kansas State beats Kansas this weekend, it will be 1024 00:48:25.800 --> 00:48:29.840 the ugliest podcast from a questions and morale perspective, And 1025 00:48:30.039 --> 00:48:32.239 my eleven years on this show twelve. 1026 00:48:32.079 --> 00:48:34.960 I will be ten medellos deep, speaking in Latin trying 1027 00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:37.480 to form form sentences if that were to happen. 1028 00:48:37.760 --> 00:48:40.559 And that would be a realistic thing to do, considering 1029 00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:44.000 how awful Twitter will look and how awful that game 1030 00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:47.800 would look if Kansas State wins. Can you even can 1031 00:48:47.840 --> 00:48:49.360 you even imagine. 1032 00:48:48.840 --> 00:48:52.000 What the what? Oh my gosh, how many. 1033 00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:54.159 Points will Kansas score if they if you're told right 1034 00:48:54.159 --> 00:48:57.199 now they forty eight? Oh my god, I'm gonna say 1035 00:48:57.239 --> 00:49:00.000 it that Kansas saint losing ninety to eighty eight. If 1036 00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:03.400 Kansas loses, it's gonna be like, yeah, like fifties. Well 1037 00:49:03.480 --> 00:49:06.760 like the game he just watched, I guess BYU eighty 1038 00:49:06.840 --> 00:49:12.440 five Oklahoma State sixty nine. Wow, this is now we 1039 00:49:12.599 --> 00:49:15.119 enter our string of uninteresting Big twelve games. 1040 00:49:16.079 --> 00:49:18.360 Yeah, the most interesting thing about this game was Oklahoma 1041 00:49:18.360 --> 00:49:20.880 State scoring sixty nine points, which I believe that number 1042 00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:25.159 was outlawed in Oklahoma until probably last year. Stily is Yeah, Yeah, 1043 00:49:25.239 --> 00:49:28.719 both teams kind of suck. Oklahoma State apparently sucks more. 1044 00:49:28.760 --> 00:49:31.119 The Cougars ran out to a forty one to fifteen lead, 1045 00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:34.000 they saw it close to close to fifty one to 1046 00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:37.039 forty seven, and then ran out again to close it out. 1047 00:49:37.360 --> 00:49:40.360 Trevin Nell scored eighteen. He made four to threes pro bo. 1048 00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:43.719 Probably gonna be a sad night for the Jayhawks. 1049 00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:46.119 Or similarly a sad loss. Yeah, this is a very 1050 00:49:46.320 --> 00:49:50.639 sad sad Mitchel. So what are Kansas's remaining road games? 1051 00:49:50.679 --> 00:49:53.159 They have seven left, and they have two brutal ones. 1052 00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:55.880 They have at Houston and at Baylor. Baylor is not 1053 00:49:55.920 --> 00:49:57.639 as daunting as it was a few weeks ago, but 1054 00:49:57.679 --> 00:50:00.199 still that's a tough game. You gave him losses there, 1055 00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:03.320 and then they have five others that they should be 1056 00:50:03.400 --> 00:50:05.760 favored in. You have at Kansas State who is awful, 1057 00:50:06.119 --> 00:50:09.960 you have at BYU who's subpar, you have at Utah 1058 00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:12.719 who's not any good. You have at TCU who's not 1059 00:50:12.800 --> 00:50:14.840 any good. And you have at Colorado, who's the only 1060 00:50:14.880 --> 00:50:17.159 winless team in the league, Like, I don't think we're 1061 00:50:17.159 --> 00:50:19.480 gonna be talking about the road woes after this year. 1062 00:50:19.519 --> 00:50:21.760 They should get their fair share of road wins. But 1063 00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:23.920 I don't know if BYU will be one goold. 1064 00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:28.199 I man, No, they they should. They shouldn't lose to BYU. 1065 00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:31.239 But again, Bill Soolf has at least one terrible road 1066 00:50:31.239 --> 00:50:34.079 loss per season. That might be the one. 1067 00:50:34.039 --> 00:50:39.440 We said last year that they shouldn't lose to BYU. 1068 00:50:40.039 --> 00:50:41.920 That was terrible. Yeah, it's cost him a perfect home 1069 00:50:41.960 --> 00:50:45.880 record if I remember correctly. UCF ninety five, Arizona State 1070 00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:48.719 eighty nine. A lot of points here, A cool forty 1071 00:50:48.960 --> 00:50:51.840 forty points from Keyshawn Hall, which is almost as many 1072 00:50:51.880 --> 00:50:54.639 as UCF as a team scored against Kansas two weeks ago. 1073 00:50:54.960 --> 00:50:57.199 He carried the Knights to a road win. UCF is 1074 00:50:57.239 --> 00:50:59.639 three and two in league play. They have bounced back 1075 00:50:59.719 --> 00:51:03.159 nice from that Jayhawk loss. Couple of wins in there 1076 00:51:03.480 --> 00:51:05.519 in the last week or so. For UCF, they're over 1077 00:51:05.559 --> 00:51:08.679 five hundred despite being a minus forty seven I believe 1078 00:51:08.719 --> 00:51:13.159 and aggregate conference totals. That's yeah, that's something. 1079 00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:15.480 I'm on UCF keep winning. We need that quality win. 1080 00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:19.599 Bat Arizona eighty one, number twenty five, Baylors seventy. I 1081 00:51:19.599 --> 00:51:22.599 don't feel like a single Baylor recap has been interesting 1082 00:51:22.639 --> 00:51:26.559 this year. They've just been so they've just been terminally there. 1083 00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:31.400 Yeah, Baylor just kind of exists. Yep, just like Scott's hair. 1084 00:51:33.079 --> 00:51:35.960 Baylor beats who they should. They never beat anybody that 1085 00:51:35.960 --> 00:51:40.280 they're an underdog against. That's five losses for them already. Arizona, meanwhile, 1086 00:51:40.320 --> 00:51:42.320 has won seven in a row. Caleb Love has learned 1087 00:51:42.320 --> 00:51:44.519 how to read and is five and zer one conference play. 1088 00:51:44.960 --> 00:51:48.280 Henry V. Sawer scored nineteen points off the bench. I 1089 00:51:48.280 --> 00:51:52.599 don't think Arizona's actually five and oh good in conference play. Good, 1090 00:51:53.079 --> 00:51:55.079 but man, their schedule kind of opened up. Well. 1091 00:51:55.559 --> 00:51:58.360 Yeah, if they're a team that they had a good though, 1092 00:51:58.760 --> 00:52:01.719 they are good. They're definitely like we saw an unlucky 1093 00:52:01.800 --> 00:52:04.239 four and five and non con We always kind of 1094 00:52:04.239 --> 00:52:06.559 thought eleven and five probably felt about right for them 1095 00:52:06.639 --> 00:52:09.000 through sixteen games. We didn't think that five wins would 1096 00:52:09.000 --> 00:52:11.400 be conference games. I mean, you look at how much 1097 00:52:11.440 --> 00:52:13.920 that needle swung. They lost to West Virginia in a 1098 00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:17.320 non conference game and a tournament, and then they beat 1099 00:52:17.360 --> 00:52:20.079 West Virginia in a conference game. A few weeks later, 1100 00:52:20.079 --> 00:52:22.199 like this is a weird schedule, but if you look 1101 00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:25.039 at Arizona, like you tell me, I know that this 1102 00:52:25.079 --> 00:52:27.679 sounds kind of funny because Kansas always sucks in Morgantown. 1103 00:52:27.920 --> 00:52:30.320 But Kansas would be five and oh against his schedule. 1104 00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:33.440 I think Baylor would too. They have TCU, they have 1105 00:52:33.519 --> 00:52:36.320 at Cincinnati, they have at West Virginia, and then UCF 1106 00:52:36.320 --> 00:52:38.639 and Baylor at home. Like that, it's about to get 1107 00:52:38.639 --> 00:52:41.000 tougher for Arizona. They go at Texas Tech and their 1108 00:52:41.000 --> 00:52:43.880 next game that's TOFF at Oklahoma State, not a good opponent, 1109 00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:46.480 but still a road game. Iowa State comes into Tucson 1110 00:52:46.559 --> 00:52:48.400 here in a couple of weeks. They have to go 1111 00:52:48.519 --> 00:52:50.920 at BYU that's not an easy environment, and then they 1112 00:52:50.920 --> 00:52:53.800 have a game against Houston, Baylor, and Kansas and a 1113 00:52:53.880 --> 00:52:56.119 road game at Iowa State. All in the closing weeks. 1114 00:52:56.239 --> 00:52:58.480 I think the losses will be there, but five and 1115 00:52:58.519 --> 00:53:01.039 oh is good good for Aroson. They should be ranked 1116 00:53:01.320 --> 00:53:03.719 assuming that they can win their next game. Number ten 1117 00:53:03.840 --> 00:53:07.559 Houston seventy West Virginia fifty four. The Cougars are now 1118 00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:10.000 five and oher in league play, and they're another one 1119 00:53:10.039 --> 00:53:12.400 that you look at who they've played, and they should 1120 00:53:12.480 --> 00:53:14.639 be five and oh they have a much tougher back 1121 00:53:14.679 --> 00:53:18.039 scheduled than front, but they outscrapped West Virginia. Here twenty 1122 00:53:18.079 --> 00:53:21.000 two points from Juwan Roberts and another eighteen from LJ. Cryer. 1123 00:53:21.280 --> 00:53:23.119 I feel like we've all kind of forgotten about Houston. 1124 00:53:23.159 --> 00:53:26.199 Iowa States really sexy and they're the one seed right 1125 00:53:26.199 --> 00:53:29.199 now and all that, but Houston is really really dangerous 1126 00:53:29.239 --> 00:53:31.280 and they just are. They continue to win the same 1127 00:53:31.320 --> 00:53:32.159 style they always do. 1128 00:53:34.159 --> 00:53:36.159 Yeah, they'll be a really tough game for Kansas. I 1129 00:53:36.199 --> 00:53:38.519 also think it's funny because, if I remember correctly, rock 1130 00:53:38.599 --> 00:53:40.239 Chalk Blog before I was on the show, So I 1131 00:53:40.239 --> 00:53:42.159 take no credit for this hate it on Houston with 1132 00:53:42.199 --> 00:53:44.039 every fiber in their body and said they were frauds, 1133 00:53:44.079 --> 00:53:46.159 and then they joined the Big twelve and Thember were 1134 00:53:46.199 --> 00:53:46.639 really good. 1135 00:53:47.039 --> 00:53:48.960 Yes, that's exactly what happened. I'm glad that you have 1136 00:53:49.039 --> 00:53:51.840 pay attention both before and after joining Rock Chalk Blog. 1137 00:53:51.880 --> 00:53:54.920 I was wrong on Houston. That mainly stemmed from that 1138 00:53:54.920 --> 00:53:57.440 mainly stemed from the Chris Reynolds stick, and it was 1139 00:53:57.559 --> 00:54:00.960 ridiculous that Kansas was seeded to be low Houston. Now, Yeah, 1140 00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:03.320 but no, Houston. They joined the league and punched everybody 1141 00:54:03.360 --> 00:54:05.519 right in the mouth. They won fifteen conference games in 1142 00:54:05.519 --> 00:54:07.000 their first year in the Big Twelve. So much for 1143 00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:10.920 being acclimated to anything. They crushed it and they have been. 1144 00:54:11.039 --> 00:54:12.840 Just hard to hate they are. 1145 00:54:13.000 --> 00:54:16.199 Yeah, they have a good coach, they have an entertaining 1146 00:54:16.320 --> 00:54:19.000 style of basketball to watch guys buy into it. And 1147 00:54:19.039 --> 00:54:20.960 what they were fifteen and three last year, so they're 1148 00:54:21.000 --> 00:54:23.920 twenty and three in Big Twelve games thus far and 1149 00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:26.920 their ten years as a conference member. Yeah, definitely very good, 1150 00:54:27.119 --> 00:54:30.480 much less impressive. Both of these teams Utah seventy three, 1151 00:54:30.639 --> 00:54:33.840 TCU sixty five. We knew that tc was bad, cam, 1152 00:54:34.320 --> 00:54:36.840 we didn't know they were lose at home to Utah 1153 00:54:36.880 --> 00:54:38.199 and a game they never led. Bad. 1154 00:54:39.079 --> 00:54:41.920 Yeah, TCU Jamie Dixon is what we like to call 1155 00:54:41.960 --> 00:54:44.639 a welfare queen who collects checks and does not do much. 1156 00:54:45.039 --> 00:54:46.800 TCU is one of the worst Big Twelve teams that 1157 00:54:46.840 --> 00:54:50.199 you will ever see in Oklahoma State under Mike Boyton existed. 1158 00:54:50.440 --> 00:54:53.519 They're also Kansas's next road game coming up next Wednesday. 1159 00:54:53.559 --> 00:54:56.000 If Kansas loses that game, I'll probably walk into traffic. 1160 00:54:56.239 --> 00:55:00.519 Seventeen points from Gaye manson Jamie Dixon probably all the time. 1161 00:55:01.199 --> 00:55:02.960 Yeah, I gotta wonder what it would take, Like it's 1162 00:55:03.000 --> 00:55:04.920 one of those are they gonna get anybody better takes? 1163 00:55:04.960 --> 00:55:07.920 But also what have you done for me lately? Like did? Did? 1164 00:55:08.159 --> 00:55:08.400 Did? 1165 00:55:08.719 --> 00:55:11.679 Because TCU made the tournament last year, but they they 1166 00:55:11.760 --> 00:55:14.239 lost quickly to Utah State, right because everybody was like, 1167 00:55:14.280 --> 00:55:16.199 they might beat Purdue and then they didn't even get 1168 00:55:16.239 --> 00:55:19.800 to Purdue. Uh they were they like and then I'm 1169 00:55:19.840 --> 00:55:21.480 I remember a couple of years ago they should have 1170 00:55:21.480 --> 00:55:24.199 beat Arizona. They had won a tournament game actually in 1171 00:55:24.239 --> 00:55:26.599 each of the two years before that. But this is 1172 00:55:26.639 --> 00:55:30.039 a team with two NCAA tournament wins in Jamie Dixon's 1173 00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:33.360 entire tenure, Like it feels like it's insane, dude, Yeah, 1174 00:55:33.400 --> 00:55:36.400 I mean this is his uh this is his tenth 1175 00:55:36.440 --> 00:55:39.000 year at TCU, ninth year at tc they won two 1176 00:55:39.000 --> 00:55:41.159 tournament games. Like it's also TCU. I don't know what 1177 00:55:41.159 --> 00:55:44.599 you're expecting, but that's at some point it probably gets stale. 1178 00:55:44.840 --> 00:55:48.519 Then there's the uh, he's a Michael Jordan of Bruce Webers. 1179 00:55:49.639 --> 00:55:51.360 That's a great way to put it. I'm gonna steal 1180 00:55:51.400 --> 00:55:53.320 that and tweet that here if I can do it, 1181 00:55:53.320 --> 00:55:56.079 I don't care. I might wait. I might wait until 1182 00:55:56.119 --> 00:55:59.559 Kansas wins there, but at least for now. Yeah, and 1183 00:55:59.559 --> 00:56:02.360 then there's atrocious game between two teams that hadn't won 1184 00:56:02.400 --> 00:56:07.159 before it happened. Cincinnati sixty eight, Colorado sixty. The Bearcats 1185 00:56:07.239 --> 00:56:10.719 finally won a league game, dropping the Buffalos. They are 1186 00:56:10.800 --> 00:56:13.480 the last winless team in the conference. The Buffaloes are 1187 00:56:13.519 --> 00:56:16.880 ower and five. They're at the bottom by themselves. Simas 1188 00:56:16.960 --> 00:56:20.000 Lacotius hit a late three to help Cincinnati pull away 1189 00:56:20.000 --> 00:56:21.719 and end their losing streak. I think we all kind 1190 00:56:21.760 --> 00:56:24.239 of think Cincinnati is kind of the anti Arizona. We 1191 00:56:24.320 --> 00:56:26.480 expect Arizona's record to even out a little bit in 1192 00:56:26.519 --> 00:56:29.320 a bad way, and I think we expect Cincinnati's record 1193 00:56:29.320 --> 00:56:30.599 to even out a little in a good way. I 1194 00:56:30.599 --> 00:56:33.280 wouldn't be surprised if this team finds its way back 1195 00:56:33.280 --> 00:56:34.639 to about ten conference wins. 1196 00:56:35.159 --> 00:56:37.039 They're significantly better than the record. 1197 00:56:37.559 --> 00:56:40.320 Yeah, just the offense. Much like Kansas, it's the offense 1198 00:56:40.360 --> 00:56:41.480 that is leaving all. 1199 00:56:41.360 --> 00:56:42.480 The questions darkness. 1200 00:56:42.519 --> 00:56:45.519 My old friend, it works out just fine in Colorado 1201 00:56:45.599 --> 00:56:48.679 because the Buffaloes are awful. Big twelve standings last week, 1202 00:56:48.679 --> 00:56:51.519 we had three undefeated teams. We still do, Houston, Iowa State, 1203 00:56:51.559 --> 00:56:52.199 and Arizona. 1204 00:56:52.199 --> 00:56:56.679 They're all five and zero, KYU, West, Virginia, Baylor, Texas Tech. 1205 00:56:56.719 --> 00:56:59.119 All you see, all tied at fourth at three and two. 1206 00:57:00.159 --> 00:57:02.039 Yeah, we don't have anybody that's four and one at 1207 00:57:02.039 --> 00:57:04.079 this point. We'll see, I'm sure we'll see some movement 1208 00:57:04.119 --> 00:57:07.800 here soon. In ninth place, TCU, Utah and BYU, a 1209 00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:10.440 random hodgepodge of teams there. They are all two and three. 1210 00:57:11.519 --> 00:57:15.480 In twelfth place Kansas State, Arizona State, Oklahoma State, and 1211 00:57:15.599 --> 00:57:17.079 Cincinnati at one and. 1212 00:57:17.079 --> 00:57:21.199 Four, and then all by themselves. In lonesome sixteenth place 1213 00:57:21.320 --> 00:57:26.559 is Colorado they are zero and five. Other games, there 1214 00:57:26.679 --> 00:57:29.719 is a lot more carnage than there was the week before. Here, 1215 00:57:30.039 --> 00:57:32.280 two top five teams went down at home on the 1216 00:57:32.320 --> 00:57:35.000 same night. Disappointing that you've been told before this week 1217 00:57:35.119 --> 00:57:38.119 two top five teams are gonna lose, and you probably thought, yay, Bill, 1218 00:57:38.199 --> 00:57:41.400 but nope, not him. Yell. He didn't deliver one of 1219 00:57:41.440 --> 00:57:44.880 those number twenty one old miss shock Number four Alabama 1220 00:57:44.920 --> 00:57:47.480 seventy four to sixty four by forcing an ungodly twenty 1221 00:57:47.519 --> 00:57:50.519 one turnovers, proving even good offensive teams can have awful 1222 00:57:50.599 --> 00:57:54.440 nights sometimes, and Missouri upset number five Florida in Gainesville 1223 00:57:54.440 --> 00:57:57.000 eighty three eighty two. Look at you, Tigers. That deserves this. 1224 00:58:00.639 --> 00:58:03.320 The Tigers are fourteen and three overall. That is a 1225 00:58:03.320 --> 00:58:05.360 better record than the Jayhawks, and they appear to be 1226 00:58:05.400 --> 00:58:07.840 in a position to get in a large berth. Caleb 1227 00:58:07.920 --> 00:58:11.440 Grill yes, still in college. Caleb Grill scored twenty two 1228 00:58:11.440 --> 00:58:14.280 for Missouri. Really nice win for the Tigers. I think 1229 00:58:14.280 --> 00:58:16.480 it was just their third ever Top five win on 1230 00:58:16.519 --> 00:58:18.800 the road and their first since many many moons ago 1231 00:58:18.840 --> 00:58:20.440 when they did it at Allen Field House in the 1232 00:58:20.480 --> 00:58:23.840 early two thousands. Really impressive, like they are probably a 1233 00:58:23.840 --> 00:58:24.800 tournament team this year. 1234 00:58:25.800 --> 00:58:28.639 Sadly they are, and Caleb Grill is really annoying. Yeah. 1235 00:58:28.639 --> 00:58:31.079 Elsewhere in the SEC, number one Auburn is sixteen to 1236 00:58:31.119 --> 00:58:33.840 one after beating number fifteen Mississippi State by twenty two 1237 00:58:33.880 --> 00:58:36.280 at home. Number eight, Kentucky took down to Wade Tailor 1238 00:58:36.360 --> 00:58:39.400 less eleventh ranked Texas A and N team eighty one 1239 00:58:39.440 --> 00:58:42.039 to sixty nine at Roup Arena number six. Tennessee shook 1240 00:58:42.039 --> 00:58:44.360 off a rough start to power pass Number twenty three 1241 00:58:44.400 --> 00:58:46.519 Georgia seventy four to two fifty six. 1242 00:58:47.039 --> 00:58:49.360 Tennessee had to have that game. They didn't play well 1243 00:58:49.400 --> 00:58:51.639 in either of their two games last week, the drubbing 1244 00:58:51.639 --> 00:58:54.440 in Florida, they barely survived at Texas they needed it, 1245 00:58:54.480 --> 00:58:56.679 and then they had a horrible first half against the Bulldogs, 1246 00:58:56.679 --> 00:58:58.679 a hot Bulldog team. They looked really good in the 1247 00:58:58.679 --> 00:59:02.000 second half, winning with defense. The Big Ten saw mostly 1248 00:59:02.039 --> 00:59:03.440 more of the same this week. I had to edit 1249 00:59:03.480 --> 00:59:06.760 this paragraph to mostly because we did see it earlier. 1250 00:59:06.800 --> 00:59:09.039 Today it was saw all of the same. So number 1251 00:59:09.079 --> 00:59:11.880 twelve Michigan State won an unexpected shootout with Penn State 1252 00:59:11.920 --> 00:59:14.360 and Breslin, and number seventeen per Due took care of 1253 00:59:14.480 --> 00:59:17.760 Washington on the road. However, I can't believe it happened. 1254 00:59:17.800 --> 00:59:21.280 Can we get to play drop because your native Michigan 1255 00:59:21.320 --> 00:59:29.480 Wolverines lost to Minnesota. They did eighty one in overtime. 1256 00:59:29.559 --> 00:59:32.920 That is the That is the equivalent of Houston. Not really, 1257 00:59:33.000 --> 00:59:35.119 but you know, for standings places, that's the equivalent. I'm 1258 00:59:35.159 --> 00:59:36.679 kind of been losing at TCU. 1259 00:59:37.079 --> 00:59:40.199 Yeah no, that is actually Minnesota. I told you guys 1260 00:59:40.199 --> 00:59:42.000 on the last show of Minnesota is really bad. I 1261 00:59:42.039 --> 00:59:44.000 watched them play against Ohio State. They're not good. So 1262 00:59:44.039 --> 00:59:45.400 that's a horrible loss for Michigan. 1263 00:59:45.760 --> 00:59:49.320 Yeah Villanova, not Villanova, please, no, that just came on 1264 00:59:49.400 --> 00:59:54.880 my TV. Not them again. Minnesota hadn't won a league 1265 00:59:54.880 --> 00:59:58.199 game yet, and then they take down an undefeated Michigan team. 1266 00:59:58.280 --> 01:00:00.679 Such is the Big Ten. Your Spartans are probably the 1267 01:00:00.679 --> 01:00:01.639 favorite in that conference. 1268 01:00:01.679 --> 01:00:05.800 Now they might be. I think they're pretty good. I'm 1269 01:00:05.840 --> 01:00:07.719 a little nervous. I think they're very good. 1270 01:00:08.079 --> 01:00:10.079 They are very good. We'll see if it sticks. But 1271 01:00:10.559 --> 01:00:12.559 you know who I do not believe they're gonna be 1272 01:00:12.679 --> 01:00:16.679 challenged with here in their Big Ten conference is Indiana because, 1273 01:00:16.719 --> 01:00:20.199 oh my goodness, hmm. 1274 01:00:21.880 --> 01:00:26.480 Yeah, Mike Woodson, who is employed by the University of 1275 01:00:26.480 --> 01:00:29.800 Indiana somehow, who also is shaped like mister potato Head 1276 01:00:29.800 --> 01:00:31.840 and has the coaching skills in mister potato Head, drew 1277 01:00:31.880 --> 01:00:33.639 the ire of the fans to the tune of fire 1278 01:00:33.760 --> 01:00:36.519 Woodson chance. In the second half of an absolute boat 1279 01:00:36.599 --> 01:00:39.920 racing by number nineteen Illinois put on the Hoosiers on 1280 01:00:40.159 --> 01:00:42.519 Tuesday Night, the fighting a Line. I hung sixty in 1281 01:00:42.559 --> 01:00:45.480 the first half. Oh count that's sixty points. That's more 1282 01:00:45.519 --> 01:00:47.400 than Kansas will score in most of their games. 1283 01:00:47.800 --> 01:00:49.639 It is more than Kansas this game. 1284 01:00:49.760 --> 01:00:52.719 Oh yeah, and they want to winning ninety four to 1285 01:00:52.800 --> 01:00:55.880 sixty nine. Nice but not so nice. Things are not 1286 01:00:55.920 --> 01:00:59.559 good in Bloomington. And Mike Woodson is probably a wanted man. 1287 01:01:00.119 --> 01:01:02.800 Why'd they bring back Mike Whitson? I remember it? You 1288 01:01:02.880 --> 01:01:05.039 know they should fire him last year. Like we all 1289 01:01:05.119 --> 01:01:07.079 knew this was gonna happen. This is a bill brings 1290 01:01:07.119 --> 01:01:09.320 back the Big Three, sort of level obvious in the 1291 01:01:09.360 --> 01:01:12.239 minds of some fans, like what did they expect to happen? 1292 01:01:12.440 --> 01:01:16.480 They certainly did think he got sixty. He always recruise, 1293 01:01:16.639 --> 01:01:20.559 he always getsruis Liam McNeely back the hell out of there. 1294 01:01:20.679 --> 01:01:23.559 Sixty points in the first half. We all remember that 1295 01:01:23.559 --> 01:01:26.199 that drubbing that Kentucky put on Kansas in the fog 1296 01:01:26.519 --> 01:01:28.920 a couple of years ago. That was fifty one first 1297 01:01:28.920 --> 01:01:32.400 half points. Illinois put sixty on Indiana in the first half. 1298 01:01:34.199 --> 01:01:38.199 That is inconceivable. I don't know how they Assembly Hall 1299 01:01:38.320 --> 01:01:42.320 is supposedly kind of, you know, a little bit below 1300 01:01:42.400 --> 01:01:45.719 Allen field House. Can you imagine that happening that Allen 1301 01:01:45.760 --> 01:01:46.320 field House? 1302 01:01:46.719 --> 01:01:49.880 No, And I can't imagine kand awful any blue blood 1303 01:01:49.960 --> 01:01:52.239 still having a Mike Woodson as their coach. This needs 1304 01:01:52.239 --> 01:01:53.960 to end and it's sad to see Indiana in that 1305 01:01:53.960 --> 01:01:54.400 current state. 1306 01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:56.599 Don't hire Uh yeah, don'. 1307 01:01:56.480 --> 01:01:58.719 Don't do that. We're not even talking about the ACC 1308 01:01:58.840 --> 01:02:01.159 anymore regularly on the show because number three Duke has 1309 01:02:01.199 --> 01:02:03.599 a ninety nine percent chance to win the league. According 1310 01:02:03.599 --> 01:02:05.880 to Ken Palm, the Blue Devils are fifteen and two 1311 01:02:05.960 --> 01:02:09.079 after getting twenty five points from not from con Kannupple 1312 01:02:09.280 --> 01:02:12.000 and a thrashing of Miami, who is having one of 1313 01:02:12.039 --> 01:02:14.599 the worst seasons that a Power five team has ever had. 1314 01:02:14.639 --> 01:02:18.599 No hyperbole on that one. Miami since November seventeenth has 1315 01:02:18.639 --> 01:02:21.840 had two coaches and they've won one time. They are 1316 01:02:21.920 --> 01:02:25.280 one in thirteen since November seventeenth. That is three and 1317 01:02:25.320 --> 01:02:28.519 oh to four and thirteen really really hard to do 1318 01:02:28.599 --> 01:02:31.559 from a team that was late Kansas surge from going 1319 01:02:31.559 --> 01:02:33.559 to the Final four. Just company they were in the 1320 01:02:33.559 --> 01:02:35.280 Final four two years ago, weren't they? 1321 01:02:35.599 --> 01:02:35.880 Yep? 1322 01:02:36.239 --> 01:02:39.079 Yeah, sure were there? You go, like just a complete 1323 01:02:39.079 --> 01:02:39.840 fall from grace. 1324 01:02:41.079 --> 01:02:42.519 I'm gonna let you have this next one. I think 1325 01:02:42.519 --> 01:02:43.599 you deserve it, all right. 1326 01:02:43.760 --> 01:02:45.519 You know what I think I do too? I think 1327 01:02:45.559 --> 01:02:48.920 I do too. I'm trying to find a fraud alert horn. 1328 01:02:49.679 --> 01:02:52.800 See if I can a bomb alert up. Oh, there 1329 01:02:52.800 --> 01:02:55.519 we go, there we go, there's your fraud alert horn 1330 01:02:55.599 --> 01:02:59.000 going off, and was one of surprise. It's Porter Moser again. 1331 01:02:59.480 --> 01:03:02.159 Well let's see what that loser did this week. Porter's 1332 01:03:02.159 --> 01:03:05.519 Oklahoma Sooners. Well, they've played three ranked teams, but they 1333 01:03:05.559 --> 01:03:08.039 got Texas at home, and we know Texas sucks. Rodney 1334 01:03:08.119 --> 01:03:10.320 Terry can't coach his way out of a brown paper bag. 1335 01:03:10.679 --> 01:03:13.599 Oh and they fall behind fifty one to twenty eight 1336 01:03:13.679 --> 01:03:15.880 just a couple of minutes into the second half. Are 1337 01:03:15.960 --> 01:03:18.800 you kidding me? Porter Moser. They wound up kind of 1338 01:03:18.800 --> 01:03:21.199 clawing back and making a run, but they wound up 1339 01:03:21.199 --> 01:03:24.440 losing by four. The Sooners are oh and four and 1340 01:03:24.639 --> 01:03:29.639 none in SEC play after starting at thirteen and zero 1341 01:03:29.719 --> 01:03:33.559 on the season. I legitimately cannot believe he is such 1342 01:03:33.639 --> 01:03:36.960 a he is such a loser like this guy does 1343 01:03:37.039 --> 01:03:41.400 this every single year. Nobody gags away conference games like 1344 01:03:41.480 --> 01:03:42.519 Porter Moser does. 1345 01:03:45.039 --> 01:03:47.360 Yes, sad, sad, sad loss. 1346 01:03:47.920 --> 01:03:52.519 They were sad, sad, sad sad loss. Oh and four four. 1347 01:03:52.400 --> 01:03:57.679 Sad loss or sad Landons Speaking of sad Landon's Landon 1348 01:03:58.199 --> 01:03:59.840 might have trusted. I don't know if he did, but 1349 01:04:00.039 --> 01:04:03.199 why would you trust Penny Hardaway on the road. Well, 1350 01:04:03.199 --> 01:04:05.920 I'll tell you why, because temple exists. They scored eighty eight, 1351 01:04:06.000 --> 01:04:08.480 Memphs scored eighty one, and he lost again on the road. 1352 01:04:11.199 --> 01:04:18.000 And in this week's installment of did de Paul win? Oh? Well, 1353 01:04:18.800 --> 01:04:24.480 survey says they did not, but they were right there. 1354 01:04:24.920 --> 01:04:28.400 They led number seven Marquette by four with ninety seconds left, 1355 01:04:28.400 --> 01:04:30.280 looking to pull the upset of the season would have 1356 01:04:30.280 --> 01:04:32.920 been the upset of season in college basketball. But then 1357 01:04:33.000 --> 01:04:35.199 all the Golden Eagles did was make two threes four 1358 01:04:35.320 --> 01:04:37.119 silver time, and they ran away and ahead in the 1359 01:04:37.119 --> 01:04:40.000 extra period. DePaul did make a couple of garbage time 1360 01:04:40.039 --> 01:04:42.840 makes to lose by a more respectable eighty five eighty three, 1361 01:04:42.840 --> 01:04:45.400 the opposite of Kansas, wherever they did not make it 1362 01:04:45.440 --> 01:04:50.920 more respectable. DePaul is is losers now of thirty nine 1363 01:04:51.440 --> 01:04:54.960 thirty nine straight conference games. That's almost one for every 1364 01:04:55.000 --> 01:04:56.519 point Kansas scored the other day. 1365 01:04:56.960 --> 01:05:03.320 As I I have no words, I yeah, how you're 1366 01:05:03.360 --> 01:05:06.800 in Chicago, dude, Like there's good there's good players around here, 1367 01:05:06.840 --> 01:05:08.239 Like do something. 1368 01:05:09.400 --> 01:05:14.239 Instead they just get hammered every single day, right, since 1369 01:05:14.280 --> 01:05:16.119 the last show. We got a lot of them today. Actually, 1370 01:05:16.239 --> 01:05:19.280 Number four Alabama lost to an Old Miss team that 1371 01:05:19.400 --> 01:05:21.960 is so well coached, and Chris Beard is a despicable 1372 01:05:22.000 --> 01:05:23.719 person in a lot of ways. But whow can that 1373 01:05:23.760 --> 01:05:26.400 man coach a basketball team that that That was a 1374 01:05:26.599 --> 01:05:29.519 what he's done with old freaking Miss. He's made Mississippi 1375 01:05:29.519 --> 01:05:31.199 a bona fide top twenty team into two. 1376 01:05:31.159 --> 01:05:34.679 Years, beating the piss out of his wife in natoates. 1377 01:05:35.000 --> 01:05:36.800 Number five Florida lost to Missouri. 1378 01:05:37.559 --> 01:05:42.360 Oh no, it was funny and he did both of 1379 01:05:42.400 --> 01:05:46.639 those things. Allegedly that is true, big time allegedly on 1380 01:05:46.679 --> 01:05:47.079 that one. 1381 01:05:48.880 --> 01:05:51.880 Oh man, uh Florida lost Missouri. 1382 01:05:52.320 --> 01:05:54.519 Oh I got that one. I got? They lost to 1383 01:05:55.079 --> 01:06:02.239 UH at number nine, damn it speaking of pain lost 1384 01:06:02.360 --> 01:06:04.840 to the Cyclones three years in a row at Hilton 1385 01:06:04.880 --> 01:06:05.559 Magic Yay. 1386 01:06:06.679 --> 01:06:09.199 Number eleven Texas A and M and who I could 1387 01:06:09.199 --> 01:06:12.199 definitely not name who their head coaches lost to Kentucky. 1388 01:06:12.519 --> 01:06:14.159 It's buzz, isn't It isn't a buzz? 1389 01:06:14.559 --> 01:06:17.800 I think it is buzz. I think it's buzz. That's 1390 01:06:17.800 --> 01:06:18.400 the wrong buzz. 1391 01:06:18.599 --> 01:06:22.039 You gotta put some respect down as is he did? 1392 01:06:22.119 --> 01:06:22.719 Is he dead? 1393 01:06:22.920 --> 01:06:26.320 His buzz all, I don't know he is. No, he's alive. 1394 01:06:26.400 --> 01:06:28.840 He's ninety four. Wow, you go, buzz. 1395 01:06:28.639 --> 01:06:29.599 He's basically dead. 1396 01:06:29.960 --> 01:06:34.639 Yeah, he's he's probably a better bas he's basically dead. 1397 01:06:35.840 --> 01:06:38.920 I couldn't name the Mississippi State head coach. They're next 1398 01:06:38.920 --> 01:06:41.599 on this list. Number fifteen Mississippi State. They lost to Auburn, 1399 01:06:41.639 --> 01:06:42.280 but who doesn't. 1400 01:06:43.599 --> 01:06:47.559 Number eighteen Penny Hardaway lost to Temple, another. 1401 01:06:47.360 --> 01:06:49.559 One that dropped her. Number twenty Michigan lost to. 1402 01:06:55.000 --> 01:06:57.599 You might as well just run through the entire top 1403 01:06:57.639 --> 01:06:59.719 twenty five at this point. Number twenty two Utah State, 1404 01:06:59.760 --> 01:07:01.760 which is news to me that they were ranked, lost 1405 01:07:01.760 --> 01:07:02.360 to UNLV. 1406 01:07:02.880 --> 01:07:04.519 There's a couple of those every year. Yeah, I was 1407 01:07:04.559 --> 01:07:06.559 too whenever I put them on this list. Number twenty 1408 01:07:06.559 --> 01:07:09.440 three Georgia lost to Tennessee. Weird to see them on 1409 01:07:09.480 --> 01:07:10.239 that list. 1410 01:07:10.800 --> 01:07:13.840 Yeah, bizarre. Number twenty five Baylor lost to Arizona. 1411 01:07:14.360 --> 01:07:17.039 Baylor just Keeter totters back and forth between being ranked 1412 01:07:17.039 --> 01:07:18.960 like twenty fifth and losing, and then they beat a 1413 01:07:19.000 --> 01:07:20.960 ranked team the next show, and then they're right back 1414 01:07:21.000 --> 01:07:23.719 to twenty five, and yeah, it's just a mess. And Landon. 1415 01:07:23.800 --> 01:07:25.559 Landon was the loser and pick them last week, just 1416 01:07:25.599 --> 01:07:28.199 eight and seven, continuing to get a little bit more 1417 01:07:28.239 --> 01:07:30.599 sweat on the brow for what the Pickham punishment is. 1418 01:07:30.800 --> 01:07:31.760 It's not a good one. 1419 01:07:32.440 --> 01:07:33.920 Nope, don't do it, folks. 1420 01:07:35.519 --> 01:07:38.440 BA. So we have a lot of ascarcbs, and I 1421 01:07:38.519 --> 01:07:41.480 always try to get the ascarcbs done by the one 1422 01:07:41.599 --> 01:07:44.719 hour twenty minute mark. So we're gonna go. We're gonna 1423 01:07:44.760 --> 01:07:47.039 go as long as we can here until it's time 1424 01:07:47.079 --> 01:07:51.159 to turn the page. Let's start with the nazy one here. 1425 01:07:51.199 --> 01:07:53.840 There should be a one word answer at KU tweets 1426 01:07:53.840 --> 01:07:57.599 and news. Is there any possibility of a Remy Martin 1427 01:07:57.800 --> 01:08:02.280 like resurgence for AJ Store? Nope, didn't think so, not 1428 01:08:02.440 --> 01:08:05.400 even a little bit. No, Remy was an eighteen hundred 1429 01:08:05.440 --> 01:08:09.280 point score entering Kansas. Remy was an all big like. 1430 01:08:09.599 --> 01:08:13.000 Remy was a borderline All American entering Kansas like he 1431 01:08:13.239 --> 01:08:14.639 always had that ability. 1432 01:08:16.119 --> 01:08:18.479 Yeah, there's there's no hope for that. I'm sorry to 1433 01:08:18.479 --> 01:08:19.079 break that to you. 1434 01:08:19.640 --> 01:08:22.960 Store could play decently down the stretch. Is he gonna 1435 01:08:22.960 --> 01:08:25.600 be a tournament X factor and win them NCAA games 1436 01:08:25.640 --> 01:08:28.399 like Remy did? No, I'd be stunned that fair. 1437 01:08:28.520 --> 01:08:30.279 Yeah, that's not gonna happen. He's not gonna play in 1438 01:08:30.279 --> 01:08:31.479 an NCAA tournament game. 1439 01:08:31.920 --> 01:08:35.479 At Jayhawk Junkies were really on the LEDs here. Will 1440 01:08:35.520 --> 01:08:38.000 this program recover in the next few years or say 1441 01:08:38.119 --> 01:08:41.600 middling for eternity, it feels like our run of being 1442 01:08:41.720 --> 01:08:46.840 a top tier school is over. Wow. 1443 01:08:47.079 --> 01:08:48.680 Wow, I don't think it's that bad. 1444 01:08:49.119 --> 01:08:52.159 Jayhawk Junkies is a good Twitter account. It is okay, buddy, 1445 01:08:52.239 --> 01:08:58.119 it is okay. The first response is good Lord, which 1446 01:08:58.479 --> 01:09:00.439 pretty much sums that one up. Yeah, they're gonna be 1447 01:09:00.479 --> 01:09:02.239 just fine. They'll they'll go to the second weekend of 1448 01:09:02.279 --> 01:09:03.119 the tournament this year. 1449 01:09:03.239 --> 01:09:05.399 Yeah. I don't know if i'd say that. 1450 01:09:05.960 --> 01:09:09.680 Interesting question here at coach Underscore Chef, who was the 1451 01:09:09.680 --> 01:09:15.079 better Kansas basketball player Hunter Dickinson or David McCormick. 1452 01:09:16.600 --> 01:09:19.600 Hmmm, you take the answer first year. 1453 01:09:19.960 --> 01:09:23.720 Dickinson's the better player. It's not that close. However, it's 1454 01:09:23.760 --> 01:09:27.439 really weird to say that because McCormick hit quite possibly 1455 01:09:27.560 --> 01:09:30.880 the second most important shot in the history of the school, 1456 01:09:31.399 --> 01:09:34.560 with it being that turnaround hook shot like McCormick rose 1457 01:09:34.680 --> 01:09:37.119 up in the last two games. But the hope for 1458 01:09:37.239 --> 01:09:40.680 Dickinson is we never were talking about McCormick being a 1459 01:09:41.039 --> 01:09:44.079 even an All Big twelve caliber player until the last 1460 01:09:44.119 --> 01:09:47.119 two games of his career, still plenty of time for 1461 01:09:47.199 --> 01:09:49.800 Dickinson to do something like that. And Dickinson's the better 1462 01:09:49.880 --> 01:09:53.960 Kansas player regardless of how many of these moments he 1463 01:09:54.039 --> 01:09:56.920 has than McCormick. But McCormick had the higher had the 1464 01:09:56.960 --> 01:09:59.560 higher peak for sure, that's probably never getting topped. 1465 01:10:00.520 --> 01:10:02.760 Agree, the only thing about Hunter Dickinson is he's a 1466 01:10:02.840 --> 01:10:04.479 very slow player. And here's the random fact of the 1467 01:10:04.520 --> 01:10:06.640 week that I know. I did not forget speaking a 1468 01:10:06.720 --> 01:10:09.600 slow sloths. Did you know that sloughs are slow in 1469 01:10:09.720 --> 01:10:12.880 every fast of their life. If they eat leaves, they 1470 01:10:12.880 --> 01:10:17.520 have an incredibly slow digestive rate. It can take pretty 1471 01:10:17.600 --> 01:10:20.960 much one day or even a week at times that 1472 01:10:21.039 --> 01:10:24.319 complete their digestive system. And they're very picky when it 1473 01:10:24.319 --> 01:10:26.840 comes to pooping. They make a journey from the top 1474 01:10:26.880 --> 01:10:28.560 of a tree canopy all the way to the forest 1475 01:10:28.600 --> 01:10:29.520 floor to poop. 1476 01:10:30.600 --> 01:10:34.039 Really and sluts move very slowly. They could you could 1477 01:10:34.039 --> 01:10:35.880 say they move slower than Hunter Dickinson. 1478 01:10:37.279 --> 01:10:39.319 Yeah, no, they do. It's insane. 1479 01:10:39.680 --> 01:10:42.119 So I guess that that asked the Cobart the question, 1480 01:10:43.159 --> 01:10:45.680 how far would you go to take care of business. 1481 01:10:45.800 --> 01:10:46.479 If you were in the. 1482 01:10:46.399 --> 01:10:50.119 Woods, I mean, dude, I'm if I'm in the If 1483 01:10:50.159 --> 01:10:52.079 I'm at the point where I'm living like the unibomber 1484 01:10:52.079 --> 01:10:53.439 and I'm hanging out on a tree, I'm just letting 1485 01:10:53.439 --> 01:10:55.000 it rip. It doesn't matter at that point. 1486 01:10:58.119 --> 01:10:59.720 Just make sure to look down. Make sure no one's 1487 01:10:59.720 --> 01:11:00.600 blow you first. 1488 01:11:00.800 --> 01:11:03.039 If someone's blowd dude, who's gonna be blow me? I'm 1489 01:11:03.079 --> 01:11:04.720 living in the woods, that's true. 1490 01:11:05.039 --> 01:11:07.359 Make sure there's no animals below you, like, don't don't. 1491 01:11:07.359 --> 01:11:08.520 Don't give them a bad day. 1492 01:11:09.680 --> 01:11:10.479 Yeah, fair enough. 1493 01:11:10.840 --> 01:11:14.920 Here's a good question at James D. Bedford. Do you 1494 01:11:15.000 --> 01:11:17.800 think the trio of Dickinson, Harris and Adams will outscore 1495 01:11:17.840 --> 01:11:22.000 the Chiefs on Saturday? For reference, those three are currently so. 1496 01:11:22.119 --> 01:11:24.479 For reference, those three are currently averaging thirty three points 1497 01:11:24.520 --> 01:11:26.720 per game on the season. But if Adams has excluded 1498 01:11:26.760 --> 01:11:30.800 you to injury, Hunt and One average twenty five combined. 1499 01:11:31.119 --> 01:11:33.960 The Chiefs just played the Texans and scored twenty seven. 1500 01:11:34.319 --> 01:11:38.680 That's really funny. I would say that Hunter plus Adams 1501 01:11:39.000 --> 01:11:41.479 plus Harris, even if Adams doesn't play, they should still 1502 01:11:41.479 --> 01:11:43.319 out score the Chiefs because I think Hunter's gonna score 1503 01:11:43.359 --> 01:11:45.760 like twenty five points, and I think Harris will get 1504 01:11:45.760 --> 01:11:47.760 a few. I think the Chiefs are gonna thump the 1505 01:11:47.800 --> 01:11:50.319 Texans too. The Chiefs are gonna win like thirty one 1506 01:11:50.439 --> 01:11:51.199 to twenty or. 1507 01:11:51.159 --> 01:11:53.880 Something like that. But completely agree. 1508 01:11:54.399 --> 01:11:59.479 I mean, and also, would you take the four home 1509 01:11:59.520 --> 01:12:03.079 teams this week in the NFL or any other result? 1510 01:12:04.880 --> 01:12:07.319 I would take any other result because I don't really 1511 01:12:07.359 --> 01:12:08.920 want to see the Lions play the Eagles. 1512 01:12:10.239 --> 01:12:12.239 Uh No, I mean, like, would you bet on it? 1513 01:12:12.279 --> 01:12:13.119 What's most likely? 1514 01:12:13.720 --> 01:12:18.199 Oh? I think that is the most likely. Actually, although 1515 01:12:18.199 --> 01:12:19.960 I could see Baltimore beating the Bills. 1516 01:12:20.520 --> 01:12:23.079 Uh I, yeah, I see. I don't see that one 1517 01:12:23.079 --> 01:12:25.279 as much everybody's. I think it's stupid that the Ravens 1518 01:12:25.319 --> 01:12:27.199 are favored. That game's gonna be real cold, the Bills 1519 01:12:27.199 --> 01:12:29.399 are tough at home. I think Buffalo is gonna win 1520 01:12:29.439 --> 01:12:32.119 that game. But we'll we'll, I agree, it'll be It'll 1521 01:12:32.159 --> 01:12:35.039 be good, and then we'll see how how the Arrowhead 1522 01:12:35.039 --> 01:12:37.039 game goes between the Chiefs and the Bills. At that point, 1523 01:12:37.319 --> 01:12:40.439 at Elliott Ruson h one to lighten the mood and 1524 01:12:40.479 --> 01:12:42.960 hopefully get a laugh out of everyone. Here is my question, 1525 01:12:43.439 --> 01:12:47.119 based solely off of Ryan's reaction to looking this up 1526 01:12:47.600 --> 01:12:49.720 Landon and Campbell. Landa's not here, but camp can hold 1527 01:12:49.760 --> 01:12:53.520 down the fort. Guess what Ryan's favorite coach Tony Bennett's 1528 01:12:53.520 --> 01:12:55.920 points per game was in college? Oh? Man, I didn't 1529 01:12:55.920 --> 01:12:59.199 know Tony Bennett as coach Alayer as a player. I 1530 01:12:59.199 --> 01:13:01.399 didn't know he. I'm so excited. 1531 01:13:01.479 --> 01:13:03.760 I'm gonna all right, and I know nothing here, so 1532 01:13:03.800 --> 01:13:06.039 I'm maybe close. I may be completely off. All right, 1533 01:13:06.039 --> 01:13:08.399 I'm gonna go with one point nine points per game. 1534 01:13:09.680 --> 01:13:12.920 Wow, I just I just saw the answer, and I am. 1535 01:13:13.239 --> 01:13:18.319 I am legitimately beside myself. That is wow. That's there. 1536 01:13:18.319 --> 01:13:20.800 You go. That's my reaction. Can you guess? 1537 01:13:21.399 --> 01:13:22.119 Is that what it is? 1538 01:13:22.840 --> 01:13:27.119 That's no, it is the complete and total opposite. Tony 1539 01:13:27.159 --> 01:13:31.840 Bennett averaged in one hundred and eighteen games nineteen point 1540 01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:35.880 four points per game. Yes, he played before the three 1541 01:13:35.960 --> 01:13:40.399 point line, but in four years at Green Bay, Tony 1542 01:13:40.439 --> 01:13:44.680 Bennett scored two eighty five points. 1543 01:13:45.159 --> 01:13:46.640 Doug Gottlieb was smiling somewhere. 1544 01:13:46.680 --> 01:13:49.520 I don't get to think, Yeah, that's insane. 1545 01:13:50.119 --> 01:13:50.399 Wow. 1546 01:13:50.560 --> 01:13:54.279 Tony Bennett from nineteen eighty eight to nineteen ninety two 1547 01:13:54.319 --> 01:13:58.279 average nineteen seventeen twenty two and twenty points and he 1548 01:13:58.439 --> 01:14:01.720 was gay. Yes, he is the two time mid Continental 1549 01:14:01.760 --> 01:14:06.159 Conference Player of the Year. Wow, that is an awesome find. Uh, 1550 01:14:06.600 --> 01:14:09.399 that is an awesome fine elliott. I Yeah, that I 1551 01:14:09.479 --> 01:14:11.760 love that kind of question. I legitimately would have never 1552 01:14:11.840 --> 01:14:14.079 known that, which makes it all the more amazing. Why 1553 01:14:14.119 --> 01:14:15.720 they he coaches the way he does. 1554 01:14:17.079 --> 01:14:19.680 Yeah, well did rip yep? 1555 01:14:19.880 --> 01:14:22.720 Yeah, he knew, he knew what was get out? All right, 1556 01:14:22.720 --> 01:14:24.680 we got a five minute warning here, rapid fire. Now 1557 01:14:24.800 --> 01:14:27.680 at me without and you how different would this team 1558 01:14:27.720 --> 01:14:29.640 be if we were able to bring Riley Kougle on 1559 01:14:29.720 --> 01:14:31.920 the team over Koight or Shack. Yeah. I kind of 1560 01:14:31.960 --> 01:14:33.199 thought about that a little bit. 1561 01:14:33.600 --> 01:14:36.119 Uh, not as much different, not different, not as much 1562 01:14:36.159 --> 01:14:36.680 as you think. 1563 01:14:36.960 --> 01:14:39.239 I think Google's at Mississippi State and he's averaging about 1564 01:14:39.239 --> 01:14:41.399 the ten points a game he averaged at Florida last year. 1565 01:14:41.520 --> 01:14:44.239 Like you know, he's he's he's a good player. But uh, 1566 01:14:44.359 --> 01:14:46.319 I don't think it worked for a few reasons. And 1567 01:14:46.439 --> 01:14:49.319 also Andy says, for fun, if you had three wishes 1568 01:14:49.520 --> 01:14:52.560 for anything, what would they be? Standard wishrules apply. You 1569 01:14:52.600 --> 01:14:54.840 cannot wish for love, and you cannot wish people back 1570 01:14:54.880 --> 01:14:57.760 to life. So if standard rules apply, I guess we 1571 01:14:57.760 --> 01:14:59.319 can't wish for one hundred more wishes. 1572 01:15:00.439 --> 01:15:03.359 Yeah, it's fair. I want a life size No, I want. 1573 01:15:03.520 --> 01:15:06.239 Actually I can't say what I'm thinking. You go ahead. 1574 01:15:08.479 --> 01:15:13.239 I am curious what that could have possibly meant, But 1575 01:15:13.439 --> 01:15:17.079 I I do if we're strictly sticking to sports. Uh, 1576 01:15:17.279 --> 01:15:19.760 if I can have any three wishes, I have three 1577 01:15:19.840 --> 01:15:22.199 basketball players that I would love to see play. Can 1578 01:15:22.239 --> 01:15:23.000 you guess. 1579 01:15:23.640 --> 01:15:28.399 Wilt Chamberlain, Lebron, James Stephan Korea, Kansas. 1580 01:15:28.640 --> 01:15:30.560 You're very very close. It was actually going to be 1581 01:15:30.800 --> 01:15:33.720 a hunter Dickinson, kJ Adams into one Harris at Kansas. 1582 01:15:33.760 --> 01:15:35.119 I'm oh, you get that wish? 1583 01:15:35.239 --> 01:15:38.279 I wow, wish wish granted all less. 1584 01:15:38.119 --> 01:15:40.840 With two NCAA tournament wins in a calendar year. What? 1585 01:15:42.880 --> 01:15:45.560 I wish the energy drinks wouldn't kill my heart because 1586 01:15:45.600 --> 01:15:48.319 I like them a lot. I wish that Chicago didn't 1587 01:15:48.319 --> 01:15:50.039 have as much gun violence. I could walk down the 1588 01:15:50.039 --> 01:15:52.079 street and feel safer. And then I also wish that 1589 01:15:52.119 --> 01:15:53.239 it was warmer outside. 1590 01:15:53.640 --> 01:15:55.760 Hey, that's that's three pretty good ones. I like that 1591 01:15:56.479 --> 01:15:59.640 way to save it there at at dick Underscore Taser. 1592 01:15:59.680 --> 01:16:02.439 I've been book marks by a lot of Iowa State 1593 01:16:02.479 --> 01:16:05.520 fans by saying good, ready to come get your ass 1594 01:16:05.520 --> 01:16:09.079 smashed in Lawrence here in February on Iowa stage Twitter, 1595 01:16:09.720 --> 01:16:12.199 of course I'm right, but make your prediction. How many 1596 01:16:12.199 --> 01:16:13.800 do you think Kansas will be Iowa State by? And 1597 01:16:13.840 --> 01:16:19.239 Laurence say fifteen? Wow, that's okay. So that does feel 1598 01:16:19.279 --> 01:16:21.239 like the game that could snowball on Iowa State a 1599 01:16:21.279 --> 01:16:23.760 little bit. They're gonna Iowa State's gonna lose some games. 1600 01:16:23.760 --> 01:16:26.319 They're a really good basketball team, but like they're going 1601 01:16:26.359 --> 01:16:28.399 to lose some games. Here they almost lost the tech. 1602 01:16:28.399 --> 01:16:30.479 They're not immune, and that does feel like a game 1603 01:16:30.520 --> 01:16:32.880 where in home court home court stuff. I'll say Kansas 1604 01:16:32.880 --> 01:16:34.359 wins that game by eight to ten points. 1605 01:16:35.039 --> 01:16:36.640 I'll say they win by four. Also, I just saw 1606 01:16:36.640 --> 01:16:39.039 a very confused looking Penny hard Away on my television 1607 01:16:39.039 --> 01:16:41.119 screen while I watched them lose them at Odd Temple. 1608 01:16:41.199 --> 01:16:44.880 So that's redundant. He's just taking He's just Penny Hardway 1609 01:16:44.920 --> 01:16:47.840 what he looks like. Yet at Mayo Zeke Berner, do 1610 01:16:47.880 --> 01:16:50.760 you see a path to a sixteen and four finish 1611 01:16:50.760 --> 01:16:53.479 in Big Twelve? Play kind of think the defense and 1612 01:16:53.520 --> 01:16:55.239 not playing store and quoit kept us right in it 1613 01:16:55.239 --> 01:16:57.079 against the top three team in the sport. We're getting 1614 01:16:57.079 --> 01:16:59.239 better and it starts with a seven man rotation. I 1615 01:16:59.279 --> 01:17:01.880 agree they're getting at her, sixteen and four is hell 1616 01:17:01.880 --> 01:17:04.760 a lofty. I think fifteen and five is the fifteen 1617 01:17:04.760 --> 01:17:06.600 and five is the ceiling right now, and that's if 1618 01:17:06.640 --> 01:17:09.319 they beat Iowa State and Houston at home, then you 1619 01:17:09.359 --> 01:17:11.680 can only lose three more road games, which would be 1620 01:17:11.720 --> 01:17:13.840 what they That would mean that they have to That 1621 01:17:13.960 --> 01:17:15.439 mean they can go four and three on the road 1622 01:17:15.479 --> 01:17:17.399 the rest of the way. That's not too bad, let's 1623 01:17:17.439 --> 01:17:17.600 do it. 1624 01:17:17.720 --> 01:17:18.960 I think fourteen and six. 1625 01:17:19.760 --> 01:17:22.479 I I that's if they if they if they failed 1626 01:17:22.520 --> 01:17:25.520 to win fifteen games. I think you're saying they lose 1627 01:17:25.600 --> 01:17:27.439 at least one more at home because I don't know 1628 01:17:27.479 --> 01:17:29.439 if the maths there with these bad teams are gonna 1629 01:17:29.439 --> 01:17:30.000 play on the road. 1630 01:17:30.720 --> 01:17:32.119 Agree. Yeah. 1631 01:17:32.359 --> 01:17:35.159 At Preston's SKIRTSIK rate this meme and as irrelevancy as 1632 01:17:35.199 --> 01:17:37.600 a picture of Bill Self saying oh, I have our 1633 01:17:37.600 --> 01:17:39.439 Bill Self in the off season saying oh I have 1634 01:17:39.479 --> 01:17:42.279 shooters now, and now Bill Self during the season saying 1635 01:17:42.319 --> 01:17:45.640 they're on the bench, but we have them ten out 1636 01:17:45.640 --> 01:17:46.600 of ten. It's accurate. 1637 01:17:46.800 --> 01:17:47.920 Yeah, really really good. 1638 01:17:48.319 --> 01:17:50.319 And another one from Preston wants to know how big 1639 01:17:50.319 --> 01:17:52.279 of a gut punch was it when Kansas was playing 1640 01:17:52.319 --> 01:17:54.520 well with Florian Hunter on the floor and then self 1641 01:17:54.520 --> 01:17:56.800 opted to immediately send back in a hurt kJ right 1642 01:17:56.800 --> 01:17:58.359 when he got back to the bench. Yeah, we talked 1643 01:17:58.359 --> 01:18:00.800 about that like that, the Hunter k the Hunter Floory 1644 01:18:00.800 --> 01:18:02.760 lineups need to be more featured. It was a big 1645 01:18:02.840 --> 01:18:03.319 gut punch. 1646 01:18:04.079 --> 01:18:07.000 Completely agree. I think that's one of their best lineups honestly. 1647 01:18:07.079 --> 01:18:09.520 At show me Hawk. Let's say Kansas gets to fifteen 1648 01:18:09.560 --> 01:18:11.119 and five or sixteen and four, but as a game 1649 01:18:11.199 --> 01:18:13.520 or two short of winning the league, will the regular 1650 01:18:13.560 --> 01:18:15.279 season still be viewed as a success. 1651 01:18:16.680 --> 01:18:17.119 I think so. 1652 01:18:17.880 --> 01:18:21.279 Yeah, you win fifteen out of twenty Big twelve games 1653 01:18:21.760 --> 01:18:24.319 just because Iowa State edges edges you out for a 1654 01:18:24.359 --> 01:18:27.720 conference title. Yes, that's undoubtedly a success for sure. 1655 01:18:27.920 --> 01:18:30.239 I mean winning the league now doesn't mean as much. 1656 01:18:30.520 --> 01:18:34.239 Correct, Yeah, and league's so much harder, the schedule's not balanced. 1657 01:18:34.359 --> 01:18:36.800 Like yeah, completely agree. Yes, if they go fifteen to 1658 01:18:36.800 --> 01:18:40.159 five or better, yes, it's a major success, especially considering 1659 01:18:40.199 --> 01:18:43.279 you started zero to one. And Jayhawk also says the 1660 01:18:43.359 --> 01:18:45.800 fan base is very reactionary. It didn't play great, but 1661 01:18:45.840 --> 01:18:48.119 the game was close for thirty six minutes. When the 1662 01:18:48.239 --> 01:18:50.600 Big twelve schedule was came out, we're all penciling this 1663 01:18:50.680 --> 01:18:51.960 and as a loss if we win our next four 1664 01:18:52.000 --> 01:18:56.000 their STONEGA spot correct. That is completely correct. Good way 1665 01:18:56.000 --> 01:18:58.000 to word that. A couple more here. If we don't 1666 01:18:58.039 --> 01:18:59.680 get to it, it's just because I'm running to beat 1667 01:18:59.720 --> 01:19:03.199 the men hour and twenty minute clock. At b Helsey's three, 1668 01:19:03.600 --> 01:19:06.920 kJ plays like if Jamari thought he was Frank Mason. Yeah, 1669 01:19:06.920 --> 01:19:08.800 that's true. I think Kj's a lot better than some 1670 01:19:08.840 --> 01:19:11.399 people give him. Plays a final tweet, he does want 1671 01:19:11.399 --> 01:19:13.960 to ye know at Ryman underscore justin when does head 1672 01:19:14.000 --> 01:19:16.560 coach Bill Self start thinking about next year's roster? At 1673 01:19:16.640 --> 01:19:18.960 Jen J Hawk, I feel like coach Self can't get 1674 01:19:19.000 --> 01:19:20.680 as emotional as he would a few years ago do 1675 01:19:20.720 --> 01:19:22.960 to his heart condition, So we need somebody else to 1676 01:19:22.960 --> 01:19:25.600 be the crazy person at KU that Bill can't and 1677 01:19:26.479 --> 01:19:29.319 at DS. Yeah, bringing camp at DS conscious is Bill 1678 01:19:29.359 --> 01:19:31.840 Self the guy you want KU coaching if the roster 1679 01:19:32.000 --> 01:19:34.239 is this underwhelming? He has not been in the business 1680 01:19:34.279 --> 01:19:36.399 of winning games an elite conference with any sort of 1681 01:19:36.399 --> 01:19:38.960 talent deficit in a long time. All right, there's three 1682 01:19:39.000 --> 01:19:40.720 Bill Self questions. Sort it all out for me. 1683 01:19:41.439 --> 01:19:43.560 Yep, you want Bill Self as your coach, Hall of 1684 01:19:43.600 --> 01:19:46.640 Fame coach, best coach in Kansas history. Can't remember the rest, 1685 01:19:46.640 --> 01:19:48.760 but don't panic. They'll be fine. They'll be a three 1686 01:19:48.800 --> 01:19:51.199 seed in NCAA tournament, probably losing the round of thirty two, 1687 01:19:51.199 --> 01:19:52.239 and the next year will be better. 1688 01:19:53.359 --> 01:19:55.399 Two we have we only have two lefts. So here's 1689 01:19:55.479 --> 01:19:58.319 here's here you go at WBAJ hawk, how can you 1690 01:19:58.399 --> 01:20:00.239 run a defense first team with hundred Dickons send in 1691 01:20:00.279 --> 01:20:04.319 the lineup? Because the answer to that is really good. Well, 1692 01:20:04.359 --> 01:20:07.680 and the answer to that is, yeah, they're a top 1693 01:20:07.720 --> 01:20:10.239 three team on defense with Hunter in the lineup, like 1694 01:20:10.319 --> 01:20:12.039 they have plenty of other players on the four, they're 1695 01:20:12.039 --> 01:20:14.000 good defense. And then he says, how can you run 1696 01:20:14.039 --> 01:20:16.520 offense effectively through Hunter and Harris Adams and more in 1697 01:20:16.560 --> 01:20:18.479 the lineup? How does the talent fit? 1698 01:20:18.680 --> 01:20:18.920 Yeah? 1699 01:20:18.960 --> 01:20:22.880 Exactly, there you go. You're you're you're sacrificing. You're sacrificing 1700 01:20:22.960 --> 01:20:24.840 what you don't have at this point. If you if 1701 01:20:24.840 --> 01:20:27.439 you want to sacrifice some defense, you gotta have Hunter 1702 01:20:27.439 --> 01:20:28.199 in there for the welcome. 1703 01:20:29.279 --> 01:20:29.560 Yeah. 1704 01:20:29.560 --> 01:20:31.439 It just it just that's the way it's gonna have 1705 01:20:31.479 --> 01:20:33.880 to work at this point. And at Howard Lapan, when 1706 01:20:33.960 --> 01:20:36.199 is Bill going to see what appears to be obvious 1707 01:20:36.239 --> 01:20:37.720 to the rest of us. Yeah, we talked about that. 1708 01:20:37.840 --> 01:20:42.399 Their last and free throw yep uh and very last question. 1709 01:20:42.439 --> 01:20:44.760 I promise you're at Jayhawk underscore style. Will self make 1710 01:20:44.800 --> 01:20:46.640 a change with who is playing the majority of the 1711 01:20:46.640 --> 01:20:48.239 minutes on this team or will run it into the 1712 01:20:48.279 --> 01:20:50.920 ground in between. I don't think you're gonna see a 1713 01:20:50.960 --> 01:20:52.760 big change. I also don't think they're gonna be running 1714 01:20:52.760 --> 01:20:56.680 to the ground nail bit. All right, look, let us 1715 01:20:56.720 --> 01:20:58.760 go rapid fire mode. If you ever ask our CBS 1716 01:20:59.000 --> 01:21:05.159 Twitter hashtag Gascar, come on now there you'll all right, 1717 01:21:05.239 --> 01:21:08.680 it's time for a preview against none other than the Bees. 1718 01:21:09.199 --> 01:21:12.399 I'm not gonna play Sandstorm because they're not going to 1719 01:21:12.439 --> 01:21:16.600 Manhattan yet, but I will play this. Oh it is Sandstorm. Sweet, 1720 01:21:16.720 --> 01:21:21.960 let's go. I'll play a different one for you whenever 1721 01:21:22.000 --> 01:21:23.680 we get some the Manhattan game. 1722 01:21:25.079 --> 01:21:27.600 Has to be ready to run through a brick wall. 1723 01:21:27.079 --> 01:21:30.279 Right, just like that Wildcats do whenever they get in 1724 01:21:30.279 --> 01:21:34.119 that spot. Okay, Kansas State at number nine Kansas on 1725 01:21:34.359 --> 01:21:38.119 Saturday at noon Oh yay, it's a noon CBS game 1726 01:21:38.159 --> 01:21:40.520 at home. Those always go great for the Jayhawks. 1727 01:21:41.800 --> 01:21:43.840 Yeah, that's definitely never been a letdown spot. 1728 01:21:46.279 --> 01:21:48.760 I'm giving you the floor. I have a mouthful of 1729 01:21:48.760 --> 01:21:50.960 water and I'll give you the floor. 1730 01:21:51.199 --> 01:21:53.920 All right. Kansas State Jerome teams Kansas Say Wildcats have 1731 01:21:53.960 --> 01:21:56.760 been one of college basketball's most disappointing teams this season, 1732 01:21:56.760 --> 01:21:58.279 as they enter at seven to nine, of their best 1733 01:21:58.319 --> 01:22:01.720 two wins this year being Cincinnati and probably George Washington 1734 01:22:02.239 --> 01:22:04.880 College not the President. The Cincinnati game is their only 1735 01:22:04.920 --> 01:22:06.119 win since December one. 1736 01:22:07.680 --> 01:22:11.079 Kansas State has a smaller than usual starting five that 1737 01:22:11.159 --> 01:22:13.880 sees six foot nine, two hundred and twenty pound David 1738 01:22:13.960 --> 01:22:17.800 and Guison. Is it in Guison? That can't be right? 1739 01:22:18.960 --> 01:22:20.840 I think it's Ghassan there. 1740 01:22:20.880 --> 01:22:23.279 That's it. It's gotta be David and Ghassan lead the 1741 01:22:23.319 --> 01:22:26.720 squad with thirteen points in seven rebounds. He shoots sixty 1742 01:22:26.760 --> 01:22:29.159 five percent from the floor and has been the lone 1743 01:22:29.199 --> 01:22:32.359 bright spot in a disappointing season for the team. Next 1744 01:22:32.399 --> 01:22:35.439 to him is four man Coleman Hawkins, a frighteningly disappointing 1745 01:22:35.479 --> 01:22:38.279 Illinois transfer, averaging eleven and seven. He's barely shooting forty 1746 01:22:38.319 --> 01:22:40.920 percent from the floor. Remember they had at cor Corp. 1747 01:22:41.000 --> 01:22:43.960 They're seven foot center who has been hurt since November, 1748 01:22:44.079 --> 01:22:46.800 So these guys are kind of just thrown out there. Also, 1749 01:22:46.840 --> 01:22:49.560 the movie Landon has finally responded about two hours on 1750 01:22:49.640 --> 01:22:52.640 the podcast. He says that he saw Nickel Boys, which 1751 01:22:52.680 --> 01:22:54.279 I did not know was a real movie. He could 1752 01:22:54.319 --> 01:22:56.680 be making it up. He could be trolling us. 1753 01:22:58.239 --> 01:23:03.000 You have no idea. The backcourt has point guard Doug McDaniel, 1754 01:23:03.119 --> 01:23:05.720 whose name was misspelled by his parents, which also runs 1755 01:23:05.720 --> 01:23:08.239 in the family because he cannot read. His nine points 1756 01:23:08.239 --> 01:23:10.479 and thirty seven percent three point right, but he only 1757 01:23:10.560 --> 01:23:13.359 starts when God tells Jerome Tang to do so we'll 1758 01:23:13.359 --> 01:23:15.760 be curious to see what happens this week. I Think's 1759 01:23:15.760 --> 01:23:17.720 gonna tell him to start his good point guard today. 1760 01:23:18.600 --> 01:23:21.560 The yeah, he he he'll need it. White Guy of 1761 01:23:21.600 --> 01:23:24.279 the Game candidate Brendan Howsen is a six foot four 1762 01:23:24.359 --> 01:23:27.000 guard that averages twelve points. He is the team's best 1763 01:23:27.000 --> 01:23:29.840 three point shooter at forty percent from three. CJ. Jones, 1764 01:23:29.880 --> 01:23:32.640 Max Jones, and McCool boy. 1765 01:23:32.920 --> 01:23:36.359 Mac macle is that rightleb. 1766 01:23:36.920 --> 01:23:41.279 I don't know something In italics rich all get reserved minutes. 1767 01:23:42.000 --> 01:23:44.880 Yeah, Housing has turned into a really nice player under Tang. 1768 01:23:44.960 --> 01:23:47.239 He hasn't had a lot of development in his tenure 1769 01:23:47.239 --> 01:23:50.560 at Case State, when Tang hasn't with like developing guys. 1770 01:23:50.840 --> 01:23:54.960 But but in this particular case, this is a case 1771 01:23:55.119 --> 01:23:57.520 wherever a player has gotten better over the course of 1772 01:23:57.520 --> 01:23:59.319 his career at Case State, Housing is a good player. 1773 01:23:59.560 --> 01:24:02.920 The wild Cat's best metric is they're passing, They protect 1774 01:24:02.920 --> 01:24:05.159 the ball, and they run opponents off the three point 1775 01:24:05.199 --> 01:24:08.840 line pretty well. They have a decent defensive set of numbers, 1776 01:24:08.960 --> 01:24:12.399 and they typically avoid foul trouble experience and guard heavy play. 1777 01:24:12.439 --> 01:24:15.199 We'll do that for you. Offensively, things are an absolute 1778 01:24:15.279 --> 01:24:18.239 horror show. They shoot under forty five percent from the floor. 1779 01:24:18.359 --> 01:24:21.199 They're barely at thirty four percent from three. They're barely 1780 01:24:21.239 --> 01:24:24.600 inside the top three hundred and rebounding a staple of Jerome. 1781 01:24:24.680 --> 01:24:27.880 Tang has been crappy rebounding over his time there. They're 1782 01:24:27.920 --> 01:24:31.319 almost also allergic are there also almost as allergic at 1783 01:24:31.399 --> 01:24:34.119 drawing free throws as Kansas is, which means the refs 1784 01:24:34.119 --> 01:24:37.199 are going to somehow oh real quick. By the way, 1785 01:24:37.479 --> 01:24:40.119 let me go back to this hold on one second, 1786 01:24:40.159 --> 01:24:44.800 here Campbell. Okay, b So you mass played a basketball 1787 01:24:44.840 --> 01:24:48.520 game last night? Did you did you do you have 1788 01:24:48.680 --> 01:24:53.760 any idea how that game went? Did you see so 1789 01:24:54.000 --> 01:25:00.079 last night? You mass you mass one at Fordham one 1790 01:25:00.119 --> 01:25:01.640 hundred and twenty to one hundred and eighteen, in a 1791 01:25:01.680 --> 01:25:04.079 game where a dude scored forties eight points while throwing 1792 01:25:04.119 --> 01:25:06.119 up in a trash can the whole game. It was ridiculous. 1793 01:25:06.520 --> 01:25:07.960 Do you know where I'm going with this? 1794 01:25:09.279 --> 01:25:10.960 Wasn't it? I don't know, I don't know the number, 1795 01:25:11.000 --> 01:25:12.840 but the amount of free throw shot yep. 1796 01:25:12.920 --> 01:25:15.920 It is the most free throws ever in a collegiate 1797 01:25:15.960 --> 01:25:18.359 basketball game. It is the first time four. 1798 01:25:18.319 --> 01:25:19.039 Guys foul out. 1799 01:25:19.560 --> 01:25:21.640 I think they had nine guys foul out. I'm looking 1800 01:25:21.680 --> 01:25:25.479 at here. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. 1801 01:25:25.680 --> 01:25:28.880 Nine players fouled out, which is a record. There were 1802 01:25:29.000 --> 01:25:34.760 seventy nine fouls and an unbelievable, impossible, awful, devastating, hair 1803 01:25:34.840 --> 01:25:39.600 on fire one hundred and twenty two free throws. 1804 01:25:41.359 --> 01:25:44.760 That is awful. I like six just not even college 1805 01:25:44.800 --> 01:25:47.079 basketball at that point. That's just sad. 1806 01:25:47.760 --> 01:25:51.920 Worst basketball game in the history of basketball, while also 1807 01:25:52.000 --> 01:25:55.279 being really good. The overtime score was forty one to 1808 01:25:55.319 --> 01:25:58.239 thirty nine, which is something something Kansas joke here. I 1809 01:25:58.279 --> 01:26:01.520 don't know, just wanted to throw that there. Now back 1810 01:26:01.560 --> 01:26:04.760 to Kansas, Burt. Let's go right back to Kansas and 1811 01:26:04.840 --> 01:26:06.800 Kansas State. Who will see a combined twelve free throw 1812 01:26:06.840 --> 01:26:07.640 shot in this game? 1813 01:26:08.520 --> 01:26:11.520 Yeah, Kansas State has served as a victim more times 1814 01:26:11.520 --> 01:26:13.840 at Allen Field House than any other team in the country. 1815 01:26:13.920 --> 01:26:18.840 Cutesphe Mikaylu Crip walking his way to the game. Any basket? Oh, 1816 01:26:18.960 --> 01:26:26.920 I got yep, there you go. Bill Solva is twenty 1817 01:26:26.920 --> 01:26:29.640 and one against the Wildcats, and Kansas has beaten their 1818 01:26:29.720 --> 01:26:32.920 in state rival eighteen times in a row at home. 1819 01:26:33.680 --> 01:26:35.760 Kansas State is one in twenty nine in their last 1820 01:26:35.760 --> 01:26:39.079 thirty trips to Lawrence the Wildcasts. Wildcats have also lost 1821 01:26:39.079 --> 01:26:41.319 eleven straight road games. What do you think happens? 1822 01:26:41.840 --> 01:26:44.079 Well, the first thing I think happens is I bought 1823 01:26:44.119 --> 01:26:47.239 so I'm cheap and you know prices are high here, 1824 01:26:47.319 --> 01:26:50.640 So I bought the Walmart. Oh no, not to this game. 1825 01:26:50.680 --> 01:26:53.319 This is completely unrelated. I'm just being stupid. So I 1826 01:26:53.359 --> 01:26:56.560 bought the Walmart. The Walmart like twist up brand of 1827 01:26:56.640 --> 01:27:00.239 Lemon lime soda like the Walmart brand is good Okay, 1828 01:27:00.399 --> 01:27:04.159 it is really good. It tastes just like sprite V. 1829 01:27:05.600 --> 01:27:10.600 But but after it's been sitting here for two hours. 1830 01:27:10.840 --> 01:27:13.239 I opened at the start of the show. Now at 1831 01:27:13.239 --> 01:27:15.600 the end of the show, it just tastes like lemons syrup, 1832 01:27:15.680 --> 01:27:18.720 So it's not as good after it loses its crisp. 1833 01:27:19.239 --> 01:27:21.239 Does it tastes like someone took a lemon through it 1834 01:27:21.239 --> 01:27:23.439 across a room and just yelled pee. 1835 01:27:25.600 --> 01:27:26.960 Well, I don't know about the pee part, but I 1836 01:27:26.960 --> 01:27:29.079 do eat lemons. Lemons are good. 1837 01:27:30.560 --> 01:27:32.560 Yeah, the lemons. What do you think about Kansas State? 1838 01:27:32.760 --> 01:27:33.359 It's her home. 1839 01:27:33.439 --> 01:27:36.720 Dang is a lemon? I guess in this game, look 1840 01:27:36.840 --> 01:27:39.000 like we're not gonna try too much to analyze this, 1841 01:27:39.279 --> 01:27:41.520 And this is our promise on the front part of 1842 01:27:41.560 --> 01:27:44.800 this to not overreact when this eventually happens and act 1843 01:27:44.920 --> 01:27:47.760 like that the planet is saved. Kansas is going to 1844 01:27:48.039 --> 01:27:51.840 wipe the floor with Kansas. They are going to just 1845 01:27:52.000 --> 01:27:54.600 obliterate and do naughty, not safe for work things in 1846 01:27:54.600 --> 01:27:57.760 the Wildcats, I'm gonna say ninety to sixty six. 1847 01:27:59.279 --> 01:28:02.760 I comp agree. I have Kansas winning by a lot 1848 01:28:03.039 --> 01:28:05.800 eighty two to forty eight in the game. That is 1849 01:28:05.880 --> 01:28:08.800 not close at all. In Jerome Tang does not shake 1850 01:28:08.840 --> 01:28:09.960 anybody's hands. 1851 01:28:09.720 --> 01:28:12.840 Out that that is true. That is that that does 1852 01:28:12.920 --> 01:28:16.439 happen quite a bit with him. Uh but no, like, 1853 01:28:16.600 --> 01:28:19.119 look like I know we're kind of picking a homer. 1854 01:28:19.159 --> 01:28:21.439 Pick Kansas off a loss. Kansas is so much better 1855 01:28:21.479 --> 01:28:24.279 at home. Uh, the defense for kh has been really good. 1856 01:28:24.399 --> 01:28:27.439 Kansas State cannot score out all the state. Kansas State 1857 01:28:27.520 --> 01:28:30.359 is a horrible road team. Like, yeah, Kansas should should 1858 01:28:30.399 --> 01:28:32.560 have no problems here and whenever they have. 1859 01:28:32.680 --> 01:28:34.399 Mickelson hates Coleman Hawkins. 1860 01:28:34.439 --> 01:28:36.920 By the way, Yeah, those two don't like each other. 1861 01:28:37.000 --> 01:28:38.840 That's not just the one way street either. 1862 01:28:40.119 --> 01:28:43.119 Yeah, they hate each other. So I expect I I 1863 01:28:43.119 --> 01:28:45.479 don't know, I wouldn't I kind of Here's here's I 1864 01:28:45.520 --> 01:28:48.199 wish I could bet on this. I bet Hunter Dickinson 1865 01:28:48.239 --> 01:28:49.600 gets a flager one in this game. 1866 01:28:49.960 --> 01:28:51.920 Okay, that's a good that's a good bet. It feels 1867 01:28:51.960 --> 01:28:54.119 like it'll get shifty. Kansas is probably gonna be kind 1868 01:28:54.119 --> 01:28:56.520 of pissed after the Iowa State game. And you know 1869 01:28:56.600 --> 01:28:59.680 that well, I mean, you know what's gonna happen, Like, 1870 01:29:00.159 --> 01:29:03.039 you've watched this game enough. Last year's Kansas team wasn't 1871 01:29:03.079 --> 01:29:05.279 really that good. For Kansas standards, and they still blew 1872 01:29:05.279 --> 01:29:06.640 out Case State on Senior Day. 1873 01:29:06.920 --> 01:29:09.439 So yeah, no, it's not gonna be close. 1874 01:29:09.760 --> 01:29:12.119 They should and if it is, then there are legit problems. 1875 01:29:12.119 --> 01:29:14.000 I know that anyone can beat anyone in this conference, 1876 01:29:14.079 --> 01:29:16.960 right you say that, but Kansas should have very little. 1877 01:29:17.159 --> 01:29:19.760 This shouldn't be a game at halftime, like seriously, they 1878 01:29:19.760 --> 01:29:21.840 need a step on their throat, and I think they will. 1879 01:29:21.920 --> 01:29:22.279 Yeah. 1880 01:29:22.600 --> 01:29:25.960 Other games Number ten, Houston at Central Florida. Are you 1881 01:29:26.000 --> 01:29:29.560 betting on the Cougars to stay undefeated? Low key sneaky test. 1882 01:29:29.359 --> 01:29:32.439 Here, No, they're They're definitely gonna win Houston. 1883 01:29:33.359 --> 01:29:34.880 I think they win, but I think it'll be kind 1884 01:29:34.880 --> 01:29:37.439 of close. And this is UCF's chance. They obviously had 1885 01:29:37.600 --> 01:29:40.279 a chance with Kansas that did not go well. You 1886 01:29:40.319 --> 01:29:43.279 have UCF coming to town now, and are you have 1887 01:29:43.319 --> 01:29:45.760 Houston coming town now? Chance to announce yourself? If they 1888 01:29:45.800 --> 01:29:47.600 win this game, I think they're in the driver's seat 1889 01:29:47.600 --> 01:29:49.199 for a tournament bid. But I agree, I don't think 1890 01:29:49.239 --> 01:29:51.960 they will. Arizona State at Cincinnati, we go with the 1891 01:29:51.960 --> 01:29:53.479 Bearcats to win their second straight? 1892 01:29:54.560 --> 01:29:56.600 I am yes, agreed. 1893 01:29:57.199 --> 01:29:59.800 Arizona at Texas Tech, are you going with Arizona's who 1894 01:29:59.840 --> 01:30:03.840 go to six and oh. 1895 01:30:02.520 --> 01:30:04.359 I'm not this is where they take the first loss. 1896 01:30:04.399 --> 01:30:05.359 Texas Tech at home. 1897 01:30:05.680 --> 01:30:07.680 I agree, we all think that's how this one goes. 1898 01:30:07.760 --> 01:30:10.560 Lubbock is really tough place to play, and I don't 1899 01:30:10.560 --> 01:30:13.159 see him losing. Tune a row there. Arizona's due Colorado 1900 01:30:13.159 --> 01:30:16.600 at Oklahoma State. Oh my gosh, I will say Colorado 1901 01:30:16.640 --> 01:30:18.319 gets their first, their first road win. 1902 01:30:19.920 --> 01:30:23.920 I think you're right. I'll tell oh Man, I'll take Colorado. 1903 01:30:24.159 --> 01:30:28.359 Oklahoma State is sad. Number two. Iowa State at West Virginia. 1904 01:30:28.560 --> 01:30:31.319 Interesting spot here Land and thinks that the Mountaineers pull 1905 01:30:31.359 --> 01:30:31.840 the upset. 1906 01:30:31.840 --> 01:30:36.880 What say you, I'm tempted. I don't think they do. 1907 01:30:37.000 --> 01:30:38.600 I think Iowa State is really good. 1908 01:30:39.000 --> 01:30:41.399 Okay, I will also pick the upset here. I think 1909 01:30:41.399 --> 01:30:43.960 West Virginia takes down Iowa State just so hard to 1910 01:30:43.960 --> 01:30:46.319 win them or all. And Iowa State has put so 1911 01:30:46.439 --> 01:30:48.560 much emotion into their comeback in Lubbock, and then they 1912 01:30:48.600 --> 01:30:51.119 come home and play Kansas like eventually, if this conference 1913 01:30:51.239 --> 01:30:54.159 is as good as people say it is, then you're 1914 01:30:54.239 --> 01:30:55.920 gonna get tripped up eventually. And I think this is 1915 01:30:55.960 --> 01:30:58.760 where Iowa State takes a close loss. But certainly there. 1916 01:30:58.800 --> 01:31:01.800 I wouldn't put money on it. B Yu at Utah 1917 01:31:01.840 --> 01:31:02.960 also wouldn't watch this game. 1918 01:31:03.039 --> 01:31:06.000 For me. We wore Maybe this. 1919 01:31:05.920 --> 01:31:07.800 Is a fifty to fifty game. I will take the 1920 01:31:07.840 --> 01:31:08.760 Cougars on the road. 1921 01:31:10.880 --> 01:31:13.600 Utah just won a game. It's a riley, you know what? 1922 01:31:13.680 --> 01:31:14.680 Give me Utah? 1923 01:31:14.760 --> 01:31:16.880 All right, fire up the utes. They will that will 1924 01:31:16.920 --> 01:31:18.880 be They'll be three in a row if they win. Right, 1925 01:31:19.159 --> 01:31:22.239 they won, they beat they beat Oklahoma State, they beat 1926 01:31:22.279 --> 01:31:25.000 TCU like they're they're feeling it right now. We'll see 1927 01:31:25.000 --> 01:31:29.000 what happens. Maybe TCU at number twenty five Baylor. We 1928 01:31:29.039 --> 01:31:30.399 all want the Bears. I don't know if I'll pick 1929 01:31:30.439 --> 01:31:35.279 TCU this year. Yeah, really rough and other games. Number 1930 01:31:35.279 --> 01:31:38.199 four Alabama at number eight Kentucky. Do the Crimson Tide 1931 01:31:38.199 --> 01:31:40.479 bounce back at We're up? They crushed them last year? 1932 01:31:40.640 --> 01:31:44.880 Oh boy? Uh sure? Why not give me? No? You 1933 01:31:44.920 --> 01:31:48.600 know what you not give me? Bama? Screwt Natoates. 1934 01:31:49.039 --> 01:31:51.039 I agree with you. I think this is this is 1935 01:31:51.039 --> 01:31:53.560 the sort of game that they're really good teams avoid 1936 01:31:53.560 --> 01:31:55.439 losing tu in a row. I think Bama bounces back 1937 01:31:55.479 --> 01:31:57.760 and wins it rop I agree. Number one Auburn at 1938 01:31:57.800 --> 01:32:00.600 number twenty three Georgia. That's tempting, but I will ride 1939 01:32:00.680 --> 01:32:02.000 with the number one team. 1940 01:32:02.359 --> 01:32:03.920 I'm still taking Bruce Pearl. 1941 01:32:04.279 --> 01:32:07.439 Number seventeen, Perdue at number thirteen Oregon and a Big 1942 01:32:07.479 --> 01:32:10.279 ten showdown. Eugene's a pretty tough place to play, and 1943 01:32:10.319 --> 01:32:12.199 Purdue has been playing well. I say they get tripped 1944 01:32:12.279 --> 01:32:12.520 up here. 1945 01:32:13.800 --> 01:32:15.560 I agree. I don't think produce that good. 1946 01:32:16.239 --> 01:32:18.119 And I yeah, I agree with I agree with the 1947 01:32:18.159 --> 01:32:20.039 Oregon pick. I didn't ward it super clearly, but I'll 1948 01:32:20.039 --> 01:32:22.439 go with the Ducks. Number twenty four Wisconsin, who will 1949 01:32:22.439 --> 01:32:26.000 not have aj store at USC. Eric Musselman gonna get 1950 01:32:26.000 --> 01:32:28.720 a win. I don't. I hate all things Wisconsin, so 1951 01:32:28.800 --> 01:32:29.680 I say he does. 1952 01:32:31.359 --> 01:32:34.359 I'm gonna actually follow suit here and take USC. I 1953 01:32:34.359 --> 01:32:36.960 don't think either team is that good, but weird, weird 1954 01:32:37.159 --> 01:32:37.880 place to play. 1955 01:32:38.520 --> 01:32:43.239 Number six Tennessee at Vanderbilt. That's a rivalry, isn't it? 1956 01:32:43.279 --> 01:32:46.680 Like that's a that's kind of a link. How good 1957 01:32:46.720 --> 01:32:48.479 is Vanderbilt this year? Any good? 1958 01:32:48.560 --> 01:32:50.399 It's Vanderbilt, dude, don't overthink it. 1959 01:32:51.439 --> 01:32:59.039 Let's see Vanderbilt is fourteen and three. Let's see they 1960 01:32:59.079 --> 01:33:01.359 lost to Missouri the other day. They're two and two 1961 01:33:01.399 --> 01:33:04.119 in the SEC, which it's a good league. They beat 1962 01:33:04.119 --> 01:33:05.199 TCU on the road. 1963 01:33:05.640 --> 01:33:06.680 I'm taking Tennessee. 1964 01:33:08.159 --> 01:33:10.239 Yeah, I think you're right. I think they're better. Number 1965 01:33:10.279 --> 01:33:13.560 twenty one Old miss at number fifteen Mississippi State. I 1966 01:33:13.720 --> 01:33:16.359 like State at home here will Miss off a big. 1967 01:33:16.159 --> 01:33:19.439 Win yep, bounce back game form Mississippi. 1968 01:33:18.880 --> 01:33:22.199 State and a really intriguing big ten game. Number nineteen 1969 01:33:22.239 --> 01:33:25.159 Illinois at number twelve. Michigan State Spartans are the loane 1970 01:33:25.199 --> 01:33:27.479 undefeated in the conference right now. Does it stay that way? 1971 01:33:28.479 --> 01:33:30.560 I think it does. Signature win for tom As though. 1972 01:33:30.960 --> 01:33:32.960 Agree they have been on fiery scent and they get 1973 01:33:32.960 --> 01:33:35.119 another one. So our next show will be Sunday afternoon, 1974 01:33:35.119 --> 01:33:37.399 where we will hopefully be talking about a big win 1975 01:33:37.479 --> 01:33:40.199 for the jay Birds.
