WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:04.599 You know what, they may have just won against the 2 00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:07.440 same team that they just recently beat by fifty five 3 00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:11.800 by four points at alan Field House. Yeah, that's okay, 4 00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:13.199 that's okay. 5 00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:14.839 Is it okay? 6 00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:15.519 It's okay? 7 00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:16.600 I promise. 8 00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:22.760 I asked my friend, the one, the only, the damn 9 00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:26.320 it Bill that guy. I asked him, and he said 10 00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:30.440 all he actually said was wow, how about kJ Am? 11 00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.920 I right, yeah, Sorry, I just threw up in my 12 00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:35.079 mouth a little bit. 13 00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:38.520 Well, this will be an interesting show because while we 14 00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:42.320 are inside the paint per usual, Landon is literally inside 15 00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.439 the paint. He's not here today because he's painting somebody's house. 16 00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:47.399 And Cam, I have to tell you. I know that 17 00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:49.880 doing these podcasts, whenever you have to wake up at 18 00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:52.439 six o'clock in the morning, which is just like eight 19 00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:54.799 hours from now or whatever, Not really but close. Yeah, 20 00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:56.439 I guess it's close to eight hours from now. I 21 00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.079 gotta think that you would rather do that than paint 22 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:00.759 somebody's house. 23 00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.359 That sounds terrible, I would I, you know, painting for me. 24 00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.280 Apparently people do painting for leisure, but for me, it 25 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.239 sounds like a day in a penitentiary. I don't if 26 00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.120 you handed me a paint brush and you told me 27 00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:15.359 to paint a wall. Within an hour, the paint brush 28 00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:18.200 would be in the paint bucket, the door would be open, 29 00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:20.519 and I would be ten miles down the road finding 30 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:22.760 the nearest corner bar. Because that's a horrible way to 31 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:23.359 spend a day. 32 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.799 That that seems accurate. Like, we bought our house three 33 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.000 years ago and I had so much help painting that house, 34 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.040 and I hated every second of painting the house. Now 35 00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:35.920 my wife is talking like we did do a good job. 36 00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:37.760 It looks nice and all. But you know, my wife 37 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.000 has mentioned like, maybe we should paint this room this 38 00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.799 color up. They'd be like, no, no, this is the color. 39 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:45.599 Don't you see. There's only two options. You either learn 40 00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.319 to like the color or we move. I'm not doing 41 00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:50.799 anything in between, no painting ever. 42 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:55.480 I personally like the medieval architectural wallpaper that we have here. 43 00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.159 Yeah, that at least we got lucky enough to not 44 00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:00.159 move in a house with wallpaper. I don't know who 45 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:01.959 in the world ever thought that was a good idea. 46 00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:05.640 That's out. Wallpaper is so outdated it may as well 47 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:07.879 be in line with the same time period as a 48 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.319 three big lineup in college basketball. Hey, you know what 49 00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:11.599 that is? 50 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.719 You know what I think Bill self is actually just 51 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.280 playing the game that fog Allen envisioned. 52 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.240 Oh right, yeah, whenever he had his wife, whenever he 53 00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:24.599 had his wife in her peach basket, throw the ball 54 00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:26.599 up into the basket and then they have to stop 55 00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:28.479 the game, get a ladder, and go get the ball 56 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:28.919 out of it. 57 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.199 If if fog Allen could have had five Zach Clemens's, 58 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:34.759 he would be the greatest coach in Kansas basketball history. 59 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:36.680 And I don't even think that's that crazy of a take. 60 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:38.759 And there are there would be people that would argue 61 00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:40.479 it for sure. They've only been eight of them in 62 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.159 like one hundred and twenty some years of Kansas basketball. 63 00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.280 There's only been eight coaches. Can you name all eight coaches? 64 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:54.719 I don't think I can. Fog Allen Bill or not 65 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.439 Ted Williams. Ted Ted Williams is a great baseball player. Yes, 66 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:03.360 Ted Owens. So that's five. Naysmith, right, he counts nay 67 00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:07.639 Smith of course? Yes, Okay, so that's that's six. Yeah, 68 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:11.840 how are there our there still two others? Let's see. 69 00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.439 I think that's all I got in the tank, honestly. 70 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.000 Let's see. So yes, Jay Okay. This is on Wikipedia, 71 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.280 James Nay Smith and fog Allen where they are the 72 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.879 first like fifty nine years. And then they they had 73 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:26.439 a coach named William O. Hamilton who coached from nineteen 74 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:29.240 oh nine to nineteen nineteen. In case you're ever playing 75 00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.520 trivia quest and the question is who is coaching Kansas 76 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.400 basketball when the Titanic went down? William O. Hamilton? And 77 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:37.879 then there's Dick Harp for eight years. 78 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:39.879 Uh, Dick Effort, what a name. 79 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:42.560 So actually I should have known this. So the order 80 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.599 goes James Nay Smith for ten years, and then it 81 00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:48.719 goes fog Allen for two years, and then they gave 82 00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:51.360 the reins to William Hamilton, and then they go back 83 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.639 to fog Allen for almost forty years, and he coached 84 00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.759 there until fifty six. Then Dick Harp, yes name, Hall 85 00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.840 of famer, but one of the most medium ooker basketball 86 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.719 coaches for the record, Dick Harp until sixty four. Then's 87 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.520 Head Owens for twenty years, then Larry Brown for six 88 00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:10.319 they win the eighty eight title, Roy Williams gets fifteen years, 89 00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.080 and then Bill self as has been here since two 90 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.040 thousand and three. Wow, that's it eight coaches? How many 91 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:18.720 you you were for the Detroit Lions. The Lions have 92 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:20.600 to have had eight coaches in the last like twelve 93 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:22.319 years they've had They've had. 94 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:29.959 Jim Caldwell, Jim Schwartz, Jan Campbell, Campbell and then beyond that. 95 00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:33.759 I actually can't remember after prior to that, it was 96 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:35.160 all terrible. See. 97 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:37.720 One of the very first memories that like six or 98 00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.519 seven year old Ryan had of watching the Detroit Lions 99 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.319 was when Marty Morningwig was coaching there and he opted 100 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.199 to kick off after winning the overtime coin toss because 101 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:48.759 he wanted to play with the wind at his back, 102 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.279 and he never got the ball. If that'll if that 103 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.319 tells me how that experiment believable? 104 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.040 I forgot. I forgot that actually happened. I don't really 105 00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:57.360 I heard that, but I heard of that. 106 00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.560 You're also forgetting the lioneest coach of all time, which 107 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:06.000 was Matt Patricia, the fat dude. 108 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:05.279 Pencil and the neck beard. 109 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:11.879 Yeah, yeah, basically the white Mike woodson of of NFL coaches. 110 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:13.680 We were talking about him in our first intro. I 111 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.959 don't know how we got on that. Like, Indiana was good. 112 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:20.240 Recently Indiana won several NCAA titles against some of those 113 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:22.600 Kansas coaches. We just named it, and now they are. 114 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:23.720 They are dreadful. 115 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.680 Matt Patricia is the Michael Jordan of Mike Woodson's. 116 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:31.319 I don't know how we got down this rabbit hole 117 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.639 off for five minutes, but we probably have to talk 118 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:35.680 about Kansas UCF as much as we don't want to 119 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:37.519 do that, so we will do that. This is inside 120 00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.199 the Pain on rock Chuk blog. I'm Ryan Landrath and 121 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.600 I'm Cam Cam. I don't know if you're gonna win 122 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:44.480 pick them. You probably are, but one thing you're definitely 123 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.160 gonna win is the attendance award. You're you're skating rings 124 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:49.079 around Landon and I think that that should be fifty 125 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.839 percent of the vote. Whenever it comes to deciding who 126 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:52.879 loses pick him at. 127 00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:56.360 The end of the year. I I agree, especially if 128 00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.120 I'm the one that actually does end up losing. 129 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:01.519 Pick them what you want. You're doing very well in Pickham. 130 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:03.480 You are way up, and pick them. Landon and I 131 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.160 are battling it out in last place. I am one 132 00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:08.839 game ahead of Landon, who's not here, and every time 133 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:10.800 that he's not here, we do have to remind you 134 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.839 that this if the soundboard. 135 00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:15.199 Works gas landed fields. 136 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:17.879 There we go, you suck ass landed fields. Then I 137 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:19.680 also have this, which I don't think I've ever pushed 138 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.360 on the show. I don't know if I ever heard 139 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.240 if I have ever pushed that. It was about Dick Fitel, 140 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:27.920 and all I had to do was take out the 141 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.959 very last word. So it's not like he's ever gonna 142 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.040 hear it because he doesn't listen to the show. Oh well, 143 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:36.480 I'm also watching highlights on the TV are are it's 144 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:38.720 all It's Big ten night and apparently the Big Ten 145 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:40.240 doesn't have any ESPN games. 146 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.639 Now, yeah, Big ten is only on FS one. 147 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:48.560 I believes because Joe Lenardi was called out on Twitter 148 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:50.959 for never mentioning anything about the Big Ten as far 149 00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.959 as bracketology, and he said, well, we're told in our 150 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.720 production meetings that we don't really cover the Big Ten, 151 00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:57.879 so don't focus on it. 152 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.240 So, yes, Big ten doesn't matter. 153 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:01.879 Right, I was gonna say, we can all do that. 154 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.240 Who and you know who also doesn't matter as UCF basketball, 155 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:08.560 I'm sorry they don't. But somehow Kansas only finished four 156 00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:10.600 points better. So let's let's go ahead. Let's talk all 157 00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:17.360 about it. Number eleven Kansas ninety one, UCF eighty seven. 158 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:19.040 Good lord, that's a lot of points. 159 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:26.879 Whoof yeah, uh Well, Without Dewan Harris, Kansas struggled all 160 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:29.839 night on the defensive end, playing even with UCF for 161 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.319 a half before the Knight's built a nine point lead 162 00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.480 early in the second half. Eventually, the three point shooting 163 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.480 cooled down for UCF. KU's offense made enough plays to 164 00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.879 squeak out a narrow win over team that they beat 165 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.800 by fifty one points just three long long weeks ago. 166 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.000 Yeah, and we could have told you that was coming right. 167 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.560 UCF at one point was twelve for twenty seven from three. 168 00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:52.800 And it was at that moment, while Kansas trailed by 169 00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.439 eight points that I posted on Rock Chalk Blog that 170 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:58.360 UCF is gonna go to for their last thirteen threes 171 00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:02.120 and is gonna score just enough to win by like 172 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:04.480 six points, and we'll all convince ourselves that this was 173 00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:08.040 better than it was. And sure enough, UCF wound up 174 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:11.279 going I believe it was two for nine to close 175 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:14.720 it down the stretch from three, and then Kansas escaped 176 00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:16.839 by a few points. You could make a couple of 177 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:18.639 different arguments here you could say this is a team 178 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:21.519 that Kansas just beat by fifty five. Also, UCF isn't 179 00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:23.399 the punching bag that a lot of people think they are. 180 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.160 It's true statistically, this was a thirteen and six team 181 00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:28.160 entering Allen Field House, just a couple wins worse than 182 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:30.560 the Jayhawks. They were fighting to go over five hundred 183 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:32.799 in league play. I think that UCF gets a little 184 00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:35.519 more crap than they deserve because their UCF. In reality, 185 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.919 they're having essentially the same season as Baylor, and nobody 186 00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:41.799 would say anything if Kansas quote only beat Baylor by 187 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.240 four at home. I don't know, Maybe I'm stretching too far. 188 00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:47.279 Did this show you more things to be optimistic about 189 00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:51.519 ig r eg the offense scoring ninety one points, or 190 00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:53.919 did it show you more to be discouraged about? Which 191 00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:56.480 is the offense or the defense allowing eighty seven? 192 00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:01.360 This is going to sound really bizarre. That game left 193 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:05.240 me feeling more discouraged than the Houston game, and it 194 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:08.080 has less to do with the players than it does 195 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:12.919 the coach. I believe that Bill self is going to 196 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:17.720 run this team into the ground while playing three bigs. 197 00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:26.200 Harris gets big. Yeah, he's he's past that window, I think, 198 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:32.240 but I honestly believe, and again just throwing this out there, 199 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:34.960 I do not hate kJ Adams. I like kJ Adams. 200 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:36.320 I think he's a great guy, and I think he's 201 00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:40.080 a good basketball player. However, I do not believe there's 202 00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:42.600 any universe in which he should be playing with two 203 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:45.799 other big men, a non scoring point guard, and then 204 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:49.039 one shooter on the floor at any time. And I 205 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.399 think that is exactly what we are going to get. 206 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:55.399 And yet that's exactly Yeah, that's exactly what we saw 207 00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:58.120 for a good stretch. And the players may be drinking 208 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.200 a lot of the bell self kool aid, which you 209 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:01.759 could do worse than drinking kul aid of a Hall 210 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:03.639 of Fame coach, I guess. But they all after the 211 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.600 game talked about how they felt it was really good, 212 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.200 especially on the defensive end, which is interesting because again 213 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:12.120 they gave up eighty seven points. This game got off 214 00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:16.159 to eight, correct, Yes, who again, might that may sound 215 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.639 that that may that may not be super fair because 216 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:20.240 ucfs better than their name would. 217 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:23.720 Suggest, but a decent offense according to Ken Pom. 218 00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:26.039 They have a very good offense. According to Ken Palm, Yeah, 219 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:27.840 they're a very good three point shooting team. They made 220 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.200 fourteen of them in this game. Granted they were you know, 221 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:32.000 on the last show, I said three point defense is 222 00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:34.679 more or less luck, and that you know everybody else 223 00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:36.720 likes to say, oh, well if you leave dudes wide open, 224 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:38.720 well okay, I'll give you this one. And this game, 225 00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:42.440 Kansas left guys wide, wide, wide open all day, and 226 00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:46.120 especially Keishawn Hall, who dropped thirty four in this game. 227 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.639 I think like they just flat out weren't gonna miss 228 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:50.840 those open looks. In the first thirty minutes. This game 229 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:52.759 got off to a ridiculous start. I think it was 230 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.399 like twenty one to nineteen at the first TV timeout 231 00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:58.000 or something like that. Like it was a bizarro start. 232 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.480 And then Dwan Harris not having Dwan Harris, it showed 233 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.320 because they could not stop turning the ball over. 234 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:08.159 Yeah, Dwan Harris is a really important piece of this team. 235 00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:10.399 I think that this team can be super successful if 236 00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:13.600 he's utilized with scoring options, kind of like it was 237 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:14.639 in twenty twenty two. 238 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:16.919 But that remains to be seen. 239 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.320 We will see, and we'll see if Bill Soft chooses 240 00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:21.279 to play basketball in the Year of Our Lord twenty 241 00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:22.960 twenty five, or if he wants to play it the 242 00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:26.600 way that James and a Smith envision with unathletic white 243 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:29.159 men and a lot of big guys. 244 00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.200 And big and the eighteen hundreds being like five foot, 245 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.200 nine hundred and sixty five pounds. 246 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.879 If you got over six feet tall in like the 247 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.240 early nineteen hundreds, you were basically Will Chamberlain. 248 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:44.080 Twenty twenty five. Cam would have been an All American 249 00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:45.720 at Kansas in the year eighteen nineteen. 250 00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:47.759 I might have my name in the Allen Field House 251 00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:50.039 rafters if I played it in nineteen oh five. 252 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.120 Which is to see, that's what makes it even more 253 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:55.240 hilarious when people are like, you can't put David McCormick's 254 00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:57.240 name up there. I know he helped win him a 255 00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:01.279 national title, but points the jerseys of the most lanky, 256 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:04.840 unathletic people ever that just so happened to be born 257 00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.720 early enough to play the sport before we had all 258 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:09.000 these great players. 259 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.200 Like half the guys that were on the title teams 260 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:13.559 from the Helms years ended up working for probably like 261 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:17.320 Stanley Steamer. And we're telling David McCormick that he can't 262 00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:19.120 get in the rafters for hitting one of the most 263 00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:20.960 important shots in Kansas history. 264 00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.279 Correct, yes, thank you, Like everybody makes the Michael. Everybody 265 00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:27.320 makes the Michael Jordan's isn't as impressive as Lebron James 266 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:31.720 jokes because he played against postal workers and like confestment bankers. 267 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.080 But like, that's actually true about as you said, the 268 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.639 guys from the helms teams, Like those guys had jobs 269 00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:40.080 that they went to after winning most Outstanding Player of 270 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:40.799 the Final Four. 271 00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:45.840 Imagine getting cooked by some dude in like the Final four, 272 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:48.759 and then your reward is you have to go and 273 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.039 make one dollar pro hour working at a plumbing job. 274 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:54.120 And hey, I can't imagine. 275 00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:57.440 Okay, it's not like the Great Depression is a decade 276 00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:00.200 in the future and coming right down the pipe or something. 277 00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.559 Oh man, that's just horrible. Talk about times to not 278 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:05.480 be alive, that's probably the top. 279 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:08.600 Speaking of times that you wouldn't believe that you were alive. 280 00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:10.159 And if I had told you this before the beginning 281 00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:12.639 of the season, imagine being told a few weeks ago 282 00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:15.440 that Kansas would beat UCF by fifty five points in 283 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.159 two games, and you'd probably say, all right, well that's 284 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.679 not super surprising. Preseason number one team against lowly in 285 00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:26.279 reputation UCF. But then you find out that in those 286 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:29.080 fifty five point fifty five points to two games, and 287 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:32.320 one of them was a four point squeaker at Allen Fieldhouse, 288 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:33.399 wholly confusing. 289 00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:38.600 Goodness, gracious, that's math that your average average man might 290 00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:39.759 not be able to comprehend. 291 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:45.000 Yeah, well, maybe even above average speacause it's it's really 292 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:47.960 as I'm watching Memphis just I have the Memphis to 293 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.039 Laying game on the TV because there nothing else to 294 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.519 watch I do. Yeah, have a as you mentioned, you 295 00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:54.759 mentioned that you have a vetted interas the Wink Wink 296 00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:57.639 in this game, and I was watching Memphis, Miss Alley 297 00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:02.039 dunks off the backboard, thinking like, man Cam could really 298 00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:04.200 use this one. He goes up for the alay oop. 299 00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:06.279 Oh nope, going the other way. 300 00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:08.759 Oh well, oh man checks out. 301 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.720 Their uniforms alone. Should should warrant an enst the loss. 302 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:15.600 I don't know how that would get handled on draft Kings, 303 00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:21.480 but avoided and deservedly. So we should lead off the 304 00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:25.159 KU recap with lineups here. kJ Adams was active. He 305 00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:27.559 was active. He was expected to get limited minutes, but 306 00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:30.080 he played twenty six of them, including all but seven 307 00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:34.120 of the last thirty three, Bill Self swapped between his bigs. 308 00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:36.080 He played all three at once, which we'll talk about 309 00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:38.679 throughout the evening. AJ Store did not play at all 310 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:41.159 in the second half. Shaq Moor, who he thought was 311 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:44.399 going to be the thirty five minutes point guard after 312 00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:47.200 it was announced Duan Harris would not start, he didn't 313 00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:48.720 play hardly at all in the second half either. They 314 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:51.000 let Zeke Mayo and David koy who did have the 315 00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:55.120 hot hand shooting the ball handle the point position. What 316 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:57.000 in the world do you make sense to this? Bill 317 00:14:57.080 --> 00:15:01.480 Self has at this point an eight man rotation. These 318 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.240 are the eight guys that he's playing. However, it's super 319 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:09.279 uber confusing because none of them are playing the amount 320 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:12.480 of minutes that we thought they would play a J storer. 321 00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:14.799 You know, we were like praising Bell self a few 322 00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:17.679 weeks ago for not giving up on Store, and he 323 00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:20.399 totally did in this game. And then you see David 324 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:22.360 Koit come off the bench and play his best game 325 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:25.440 of the season. You see Shack Moore hardly play at 326 00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:27.399 all on a night wherever they didn't have their normal 327 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:29.879 point guard, and also three bigs. What do you want 328 00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:30.360 to make of this? 329 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.480 Yeah, I actually have no idea. It's bizarre not to 330 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:37.279 see Shack Moore get a lot of run in this game, 331 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:39.320 especially when you think of it. You know, the whole 332 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:42.600 argument for the three big lineup is well, it helps 333 00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:46.399 them defensively, well maybe on the inside, but they gave 334 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:48.960 up eighty seven points and UCF was getting tons of 335 00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:51.320 wide open threes and it's not like they were contested, 336 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:55.120 they were just wide open three pointers. I don't know. 337 00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:58.039 I genuinely don't know. None of it makes a lot 338 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:00.720 of sense to me. I'm not a haul off coach here, 339 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:04.279 But at the same time, I just don't think any 340 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:06.840 of the lineup choices made sense if kJ Adams, Hunter, 341 00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:12.360 Dickinson and Florid played the same time. I mean, you're like, 342 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:14.399 what do you expect is going to happen there? I 343 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:15.879 don't know. Well, I mean it's just bizarre. 344 00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:18.639 And the thing that I think makes this a challenge 345 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:20.759 is normally you can look at a game and you 346 00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:22.919 can break it up into pretty even points and you 347 00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.159 can say, okay, so maybe the game at eighty seven points, 348 00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:28.600 but two thirds of those points came in this lineup, 349 00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:31.120 and it got a lot better when we put this 350 00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:34.600 lineup in you really can't do that. In this particular game. 351 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:38.080 First eleven minutes of the game, or first nine minutes 352 00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:42.039 of the game, UCF scored twenty five points. Last nine 353 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:46.080 minutes of the game. Of the half, UCF scored eighteen points, 354 00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:49.360 So they were pretty consistently on one throughout the first half. 355 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:54.000 First ten minutes of the second half, UCF scored twenty 356 00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:57.639 two points. Last ten minutes of the second half, UCF 357 00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:00.000 scored twenty three points. So it's not like you can 358 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:02.639 and say, oh, once they put that lineup on the floor, 359 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:05.119 that really locked it down. They were consistently hitting shots 360 00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:08.200 throughout the night, and in those last ten minutes, UCF 361 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:11.680 only made two of their fourteen threes, and they still 362 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:13.799 managed to score as many points as they were scoring. 363 00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:16.000 When they were shooting the threes at a high clip, 364 00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:19.640 they were taking the ball right at Hunter Dickinson, similarly 365 00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.359 to the way we saw Jawan Roberts work him, we 366 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:26.599 saw Keshawn Hall go to the cup against Badunga and Dickinson. 367 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.839 Floory was pulled despite being Kansas's best all round player 368 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:33.359 potentially in this game with a couple of minutes left 369 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:36.440 in its high game because he could not do anything defensively, 370 00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:39.400 and that was when Self opted to play Adams, who did, 371 00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:42.480 to his credit, get a couple really nice defensive stands. 372 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:45.079 I think that my prediction is they are going to 373 00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:48.799 start three bigs against Baylor. I have no idea how 374 00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:51.640 it's gonna work. Baylor is a is a team that's 375 00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:55.039 all guards. By the way, they play four four round 376 00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:57.839 one a lot. They have one guy that they play 377 00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:00.240 at the five, and they really only play the six 378 00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:03.680 ' ten guy whenever they're in bigger matchups. So I 379 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:07.039 don't think that going for your three bigs against Baylor 380 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:08.839 is the answer. But I think that's gonna be the 381 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:11.119 five guys. Bell self starts because how can you not 382 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:13.480 start Floory right now? And I think he wants to 383 00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:14.000 start kJ. 384 00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:18.400 Yeah, I think he will never quit on kJ Adams. 385 00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:20.799 And also it's it's kind of frustrating in the sense 386 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:23.559 I had a fan on Twitter that was interacting, not 387 00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:25.680 a fan of a guy on Twitter that was an 388 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:27.359 interacting and maybe he is a fan of the show, 389 00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:28.640 you know, we'll call him a fan. I don't like 390 00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:30.000 this guy in a way he's a fan of the show. 391 00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:32.440 He sucks and he was talking to me, and he 392 00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:36.200 was like, obviously you're you hate kJ Adams. You know 393 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:38.559 you're a hater. I was like, no, I actually really 394 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:41.000 like kJ Adams, but Bill self is putting him in 395 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.519 a place where he's not gonna succeed. It's acidine to 396 00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:45.559 put him on the floor with two other bigs. They 397 00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:47.759 don't even guard him half the time. So where where 398 00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:49.640 is the space and where the shots can come from? 399 00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:51.880 Maybe against Baylor or Works they have one other big. 400 00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:54.079 But again, I feel like this is a recipe for 401 00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.400 in the NCAA tournament. They might get boat raised and 402 00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:58.119 they don't have scores well. 403 00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:00.799 And in this case, kJ Adams did some good things. 404 00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:03.839 My eyeball thought he was a My eyeballs thought he 405 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.880 was a total liability for about thirty six minutes, and 406 00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:08.480 then I thought he made some really nice plays in 407 00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:11.880 the back couple like and Bill self gets out there stretch. 408 00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:14.519 Bill self gets in the in the in the interview 409 00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:16.759 remember game and goes, wow, was he great? You know 410 00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:19.680 he missed a couple shots, but hey, that was just Russ. No, 411 00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:22.799 Billy misses those those shots all the time, all the time. 412 00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:25.359 I don't really know. Go ahead and read me the 413 00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:27.440 stat line of the bigs, and then we can kind 414 00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:31.480 of break down a rotation because self isn't an interesting 415 00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:36.160 predicament right now. Hunter Dickinson is his best score. Undoubtedly 416 00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:38.880 the team plays through Hunter Dickinson when they are going 417 00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:43.359 at their best. Florie Badunga is arguably his most talented player, 418 00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:48.160 quite possibly his most talented guy, and also far and 419 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:53.359 away the highest NBA career potential and the quickest developing, 420 00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:57.000 the most rapidly improving player. You can't keep him off 421 00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:58.799 the floor at this rate either because of how he 422 00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:01.599 impacts the game. But they played the same position. And 423 00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:05.000 then you have kJ, a guy that undoubtedly does so 424 00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:09.720 many off the stat card things. His defense on that 425 00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:12.480 final couple possessions there's no stat for that, but that 426 00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:16.160 was a huge play for him, forcing a jump ball 427 00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:18.680 that wound up getting Kansas an extra position that doesn't 428 00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:20.920 show up in the box score. That's also a guy 429 00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:23.240 that any coach is gonna want to play a lot. 430 00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:26.160 The problem is all three of those guys are playing 431 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:29.000 in the same part of the court, and their weaknesses 432 00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:33.400 underlyingly are all the same. Whenever none of them can shoot, 433 00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:38.119 and at times whenever they're not being fed the ball. 434 00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:40.079 It creates a lot of spacing problems. 435 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:44.960 Yeah, it definitely does. Going to the bigs here, Hunter 436 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:48.039 Dickinson had a strong close to the game. He had 437 00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:50.759 twenty four points. He had seven rebounds on seven for 438 00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:54.000 seventeen shooting. He also made ten of his twelve free throws, 439 00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:56.599 which is awesome. It was also nice see him make 440 00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:58.680 some clutch buckets in game that was pretty close for 441 00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:02.759 Badongo was dominant playing alongside of him, finishing with ten points, 442 00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:06.160 eleven rebounds, five blocks, and twenty nine minutes uh but 443 00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:08.839 in the last two minutes again of its high game, 444 00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:12.039 Self went for kJ Adams instead. He did have a 445 00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:14.440 solid stat line. He had twelve points, five rebounds of 446 00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:16.680 twenty six minutes. He went six for seven at the line, 447 00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:18.799 which is an area that he has really improved in, 448 00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:21.839 and played lockdown defense on a couple of the possessions 449 00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:24.880 down the stretch that helped Kansas win the game. As 450 00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:28.279 far as rotations go, I have absolutely no idea what 451 00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:31.039 Bill Self is doing, and we will see on Saturday 452 00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:33.599 when Kansas goes to Waco, which nothing bad has ever 453 00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:34.079 happened there. 454 00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:37.400 No, and by nothing bad you mean four straight years 455 00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:38.720 of lots of bad things. 456 00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:40.799 I go here into the Waco siege. 457 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:43.680 Oh oh oh, you're going like actual Waco like things 458 00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:44.039 that matter. 459 00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:44.759 Yesh. 460 00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:47.160 Yeah, yeah, plenty of bad things have happened in Waco. 461 00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:52.000 It's just a very lousy city and you know, yuck. Okay, 462 00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:54.920 So here's my take on the on these bigs. Hunter Dickinson, 463 00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:57.720 h yes, you mentioned it was great to see him close. 464 00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:00.319 He has. He's drawn the iron from Kansas fans for 465 00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:02.960 not always coming to play whenever the chips are down. 466 00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:04.720 I thought he did a good job of this. But 467 00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:07.559 something occurred to me about Hunter Dickinson. Seven for seventeen 468 00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:09.319 from the floor with all of his shots being twos 469 00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:11.279 is a low percentage. This is a guy that I 470 00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:13.880 think a lot of us think of as a walking bucket. 471 00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:16.599 He's shooting the lowest percentage from the floor in his 472 00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:19.960 career while shooting fewer threes than he has attempted since 473 00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:23.519 his freshman season at Michigan. He is missing more twos. 474 00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:27.079 Hold on that screams spacing problems. By the way. 475 00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:29.920 Yeah, I was gonna ask you what the reason is 476 00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:33.759 why he is he's having more of these seven for seventeen. 477 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:36.319 You look back at the last handful of games they 478 00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.319 go up to Iowa State, a game you really need him, 479 00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:41.000 he's three for ten. Does go seven for ten at 480 00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:43.519 TCU whenever he's playing with And it is kind of 481 00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:47.119 interesting the games that Flory was just playing, the games 482 00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:49.599 that kJ didn't play Hunter Dickinson was six for eleven, 483 00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:52.079 seven of ten and twelve of nineteen, like and then 484 00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:55.400 the games with kJ Hunter seven for seventeen, three for 485 00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:58.720 ten against Iowa State, seven for sixteen against Cincinnati, five 486 00:22:58.759 --> 00:23:00.319 for fifteen against Arizona State. 487 00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:04.119 Have you ever noticed too, Like with kJ Adams in 488 00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:05.799 the game of Hunter Dickers And he tends to get 489 00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:08.359 a lot of these shots where the ball essentially gets 490 00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:11.519 passed to him while he's cutting to the basket, and 491 00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:13.200 then he has to put up kind of like a 492 00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:17.880 half floater while almost like going towards the lane like 493 00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:20.599 he's you know, like ten feet away, and it's like 494 00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:24.319 a really awkward kind of like put up like put shot. 495 00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:27.039 I don't know how to way more of those, way 496 00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:29.960 more of those than he attempted at Michigan. And I 497 00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:32.200 can picture exactly what you're saying, Like he didn't do 498 00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:36.440 that last year either. Like it's these that is the 499 00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:40.079 mark of a guy who is athletic and can can 500 00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:43.079 score from any angle and can jump out of the gym. 501 00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:46.880 That's not Hunter. And yes, he is much more off balanced, 502 00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:50.240 and we're seeing fewer hook shots, which is his specialty, 503 00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:53.759 than we usually do. And yeah he is He's not 504 00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:57.119 the automatic bucket that he has been. Still a very 505 00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:59.799 good player. Sixteen points and ten rebounds a game and 506 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:02.000 worth of fifty percent from the floor. He is an 507 00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:04.759 excellent all round player. But I think it is fair 508 00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:07.839 to question which lineup is best for him, and that's 509 00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:10.559 what I would do. That's priority one for me. If 510 00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:12.759 I'm the coaches, Hunter is our best scorer. We're gonna 511 00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:15.160 play through him. We need to surround him with the 512 00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.039 best lineup for him, and I think that is Florrie 513 00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:21.160 alongside him. Flori is a monster, by the way, does 514 00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:23.839 two or three space alien things a game. He just 515 00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:28.319 struggles defensively against the athletic drivers like a key Shawn Hall. 516 00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:30.440 They were pulling him out away from the pain a 517 00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:32.680 little bit and got him stuck in no man's land 518 00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:35.559 and it almost burned him. kJ easily the best defender 519 00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:39.359 of those three. But whenever you're talking about offensive ability. 520 00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:42.880 You know, there there are so many plays throughout the 521 00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:45.160 course of a game where he flails for a rebound 522 00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:47.799 and just doesn't come down with it. Yeah, and I 523 00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:49.839 just can't help but wonder he did finish with twelve 524 00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:51.599 as you said, in this game, he scored twelve points. 525 00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:53.680 I got a couple of goaltend calls and then made 526 00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:56.480 free throws. Major improvement of his game is the free throws, 527 00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:59.400 which you said, But but yeah, I'm like, okay, Like, 528 00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:02.400 you know, he made three baskets, Like I know Hunter 529 00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:04.400 will get you double digit baskets half the time. And 530 00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:06.240 you know Flora can throw down a lot of dunks. 531 00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:09.440 Yeah, and a Hunter Dickinson with Floria, but Don Good 532 00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:12.319 next to him is a very dangerous lineup for Kansas. 533 00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:14.680 And the thing with kJ it's tough because I think 534 00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:18.039 he is the perfect mold of a guy that's like 535 00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:21.519 an energizer bunny comes off the bench fifteen to twenty 536 00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:22.240 minutes a game. 537 00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:24.920 Yep, that's what I would have to be futilized. He's 538 00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:28.279 Mitch Lightfoot buzz r. He is what Mitch Lightfoot was 539 00:25:28.359 --> 00:25:30.960 cracked up to be correct. Yes, on steroids. If he 540 00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:33.359 was put into that twelve to eighteen minutes, a game 541 00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:36.400 role where he comes out whenever you know. The Cincinnati 542 00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:38.359 game was a perfect example of a game you really 543 00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:41.160 want kJ out there. That is a scrappy, ugly game 544 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:43.400 where neither team's gonna shoot well and you know that 545 00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:46.039 there's gonna be two or three jump balls or dive 546 00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:48.559 on the floor loose ball situations. You gotta get the 547 00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:50.119 bulk of him if you want to squeak out a win. 548 00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:53.240 That's the kJ game. A game like this ninety one 549 00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:57.119 to eighty seven, I'm not so sure that's the kJ game, though. 550 00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.200 I will Gary Bell self credit. He knew exactly when 551 00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:02.359 to put him in the game and paaram on Keishaan 552 00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:03.519 Hall and get a big stop. 553 00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:06.599 Yeah he did. And I think I think it also 554 00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:08.880 kind of sucks for kJ Adams in a sense because 555 00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:11.680 and we've said this throughout the entirety of this season. 556 00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:14.359 I think you guys said last year too. We love 557 00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:17.079 kJ Adams like in terms of a guy, and as 558 00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:19.000 I think he's in we all think he's a good 559 00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:19.839 basketball player. 560 00:26:20.119 --> 00:26:21.960 But yeah, it's very good back into the. 561 00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:25.400 Spot where he's like people are gonna rag on him 562 00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:28.000 and rag on him almost as like a scapegoat because 563 00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:30.160 he's just being put in the spot where he's not 564 00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:32.440 meant to be playing. And again, that comes down to 565 00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:32.839 the coach. 566 00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:36.279 Yeah, it does. Absolutely. I've seen the things that people 567 00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:39.480 have said about kJ Adams are not things that would 568 00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:42.039 be being said if his coach didn't play him as 569 00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:44.599 much as he did. kJ Adams isn't the one deciding 570 00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:46.599 to go play over Floria Madoon Gun Like, that's not 571 00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:47.279 his decision. 572 00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:51.279 Bill is also not gonna He's also not gonna go. Yeah, guys, look, 573 00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:53.599 I think I should be playing once to help the team, right. 574 00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:55.680 I've seen people say it like get out of here. 575 00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:58.599 Because yeah, And the same damn people who say that 576 00:26:58.720 --> 00:27:01.160 kJ should bench himself are the same ones that say 577 00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:03.720 this team doesn't have a heart, Like can you imagine? 578 00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:06.599 Can you imagine who was the Colts quarterback this year 579 00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:08.440 that said, yeah, I was too tired, I had to 580 00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:10.480 take myself out of a game, Like how did that go? 581 00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:12.640 Like that's the last thing that these guys are ever 582 00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:15.400 gonna say, because that looks yeah, good goal their competitors. 583 00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:17.960 We expect all three of these guys to play Floria, 584 00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:20.480 But Doonga has been so good that I think that 585 00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:23.759 Bill self has no choice but to keep him zarting 586 00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:26.079 and keep him playing twenty five plus minutes a game. 587 00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:28.880 Flora needs to play twenty five to thirty minutes a 588 00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:31.160 game unless he's in serious foul trouble. He just impacts 589 00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:32.599 the game in so many different ways. 590 00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:35.960 Agree. I also think, if you, if you could, if 591 00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:38.079 you can give me a crystal ball right now, if 592 00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:40.720 I could place a wager on this, I would in 593 00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:44.839 Kansas's season ending NCAA tournament loss, which inevitably will happen 594 00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:45.640 at some point this year. 595 00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:47.960 I believe spoiling around a thirty two coming right up. 596 00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:52.079 Probably Florie's gonna have three fouls in the first half, 597 00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:53.119 and he's gonna. 598 00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:56.960 Oh yeah, yep, Undoubtedly it's gonna be because Flora gets 599 00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:59.319 in a foul trouble and kJ has to try to 600 00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:01.960 replicate that, and fans will get mad ATKJ, despite he 601 00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:04.200 didn't put himself in that size. 602 00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:09.119 Yeah. Oh man, I've already so Zeke Mayo. 603 00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:11.400 As we shift gears to the back court. Here, twenty 604 00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:13.920 four points eight of twenty from the floor. That is 605 00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:16.240 six of ten from three, which is awesome, two of 606 00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:19.440 ten from two, which is a really weird outlier of 607 00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:22.079 a line of zer Kansas shot well from the floor. 608 00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:25.680 H Zeke Mayo nine rebounds, five assists thirty eight minutes 609 00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:28.119 Without him, I'm not sure this is a five hundred team. 610 00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:31.720 He is so good. And we ask every show where 611 00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:33.920 was this coming out of south or coming out of 612 00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:37.640 freaking Lawrence High School? Like, how did they whatever? I won't, 613 00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:40.880 I don't know, don't, I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, 614 00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:42.799 he's shooting with a ton of volume. By the way, 615 00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:46.200 Zeke Mayo has only shot the ball nine less times 616 00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:48.960 than Hunter Dickinson this year, which I don't think is 617 00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:51.680 something any of us saw. Zeke Mayo has shot two 618 00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:54.359 hundred and forty six times, which is second on the team. 619 00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:57.480 Nobody else besides Hunter Dickinson has shot more than one 620 00:28:57.519 --> 00:29:00.319 hundred and sixty times. So not only is he shooting 621 00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:03.440 a lot, he's shooting way more than any other guard 622 00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:05.799 on the roster, which I think is that's a wild 623 00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:08.160 stat My argument for that is that's a good thing. 624 00:29:09.279 --> 00:29:11.519 I kind of agree. I also think that this team 625 00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:14.200 might go as far as Zeke Mayo can take them. 626 00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:18.160 I guess Mayo and Hunter Dickinson, so fire Away Man please. 627 00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:21.960 Yep, Zeke Mayo goes two for nine shooting threes, you're 628 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:25.039 probably losing to a good sixth seed. Or if yeah, 629 00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:28.279 maos six to ten, they can be a good two seed, 630 00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:29.039 like they. 631 00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:31.160 Can oh yeah, they can play with anybody, but it's 632 00:29:31.160 --> 00:29:33.759 definitely gonna be a game. Like the recipe for a 633 00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:37.200 Kansas March loss is it always comes down to three things. 634 00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:40.000 Number One, somebody goes nuclear from three. That's a given. 635 00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:43.119 Number Two, Bill self Barry's a primary big man on 636 00:29:43.160 --> 00:29:45.880 the bench. With two or three first half fouls, they 637 00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:48.400 fall into it every time I can't climb back. And 638 00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:50.680 then number three, at some point during the game, we 639 00:29:50.759 --> 00:29:52.880 all realize that Kansas has not made a three in 640 00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:54.960 the last ten minutes and that continues for the rest 641 00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:55.359 of the game. 642 00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:59.559 Yep, they get outscored, like like by twenty seven on threes. 643 00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:02.519 Like that's However, we look at that game and we say, wow, 644 00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:04.920 they made five more twos and they drew more fouls, 645 00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:07.319 but oh, what's this. They were two for twenty from 646 00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:09.200 three and the other team made nine out of thirty 647 00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:13.759 every single one d That was the most ridiculous. I 648 00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:17.599 think like that they've lost the more improbable teams than Oregon. 649 00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:21.880 But Oregon's performance was so insanely high above their means 650 00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:25.160 for that game. I mean, look at the last ninety 651 00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:27.079 seconds that half, and I listened. 652 00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:28.599 To during that game. 653 00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:30.960 I would have thrown more than that. Yeah, I listened 654 00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:32.960 to Hawk Talk. Bill Self was not on it today. 655 00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:35.119 It was instead Norm Roberts, And they asked, and they said, 656 00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:37.200 do you have what's your biggest regret in your entire 657 00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:39.880 time as Bill Self's assistant coach? He said, I wish 658 00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:42.799 that twenty seven team, twenty seventeen team could have got 659 00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:44.599 to a Final four. That was the squad that I 660 00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:46.240 hurt the most that they didn't get to do it. 661 00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:50.039 And I think that the general consensus among fans is similar. 662 00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:52.400 I think that's the one a lot of fans went back. 663 00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:55.880 Oh, I was so sad over that team. 664 00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:58.279 They were They were that close, and they would have 665 00:30:58.319 --> 00:31:00.440 had to play North Carolina in the finals, who wound 666 00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:01.920 up plin anything, and they were one seed, like that 667 00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.480 was the final four matchup. It's not like the twenty 668 00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:06.920 eleven team that would have had an eight seed and 669 00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:09.000 a five seed or whatever it was, a three seed 670 00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:12.680 whatever it was. Uh yeah, but but still that is 671 00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:16.160 U That is insane. As I'm watching Sports Center now 672 00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:19.039 and Vanderbilt had a on the The Vanderbilt women had 673 00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:21.839 a freshman score fifty three points to night in a game, 674 00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:26.039 which is the most that any D one women's basketball 675 00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:29.079 freshman has ever scored in the history of college basketball. 676 00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:34.079 Okay, but if if she scored fifty plus points, but 677 00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:37.359 Angel Reese didn't make a comment about it being unfair 678 00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:39.400 that she didn't get the same attention, did. 679 00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:42.839 It really, Angel Rees? Man, if that was Angel how 680 00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:45.160 many field goal attempts would it take Angel Reese to 681 00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:46.400 get to fifty three points? 682 00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:49.480 I mean, if it's the layups, we're talking one hundred plus. 683 00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:54.200 Because every single time it's and the box. 684 00:31:54.119 --> 00:31:58.000 Saw yeah, I'm sorry. I saw a tweet today and 685 00:31:58.039 --> 00:32:00.839 it was like the mcdowald's happy als now has a 686 00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:03.240 new Angel Reese toy and it was just like a brick. 687 00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:06.759 And you are cam is like at one of Angel 688 00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:08.000 Reese's biggest critics. 689 00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:11.240 I do not like Angel Rees. I've never liked her. 690 00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:13.799 She kind of reminds me of Sid from Ice Age, 691 00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:17.480 both affltic abilities. And you live in Chicago too, you 692 00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:20.880 should be rocking her jersey Oh, that's right, she's in 693 00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:22.720 the area. Maybe I'll run into Row one day. If 694 00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:24.400 I run into her, I'm gonna ask her to throw 695 00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:26.680 something into like my shopping cart at your grocery store, 696 00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:28.160 just because of No, she'll miss and then I'll make 697 00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:28.880 her pick it up. 698 00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:31.839 Oh she will, because then she'll get like this. She'll 699 00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:34.440 get a rebound and then miss again and get another rebound, 700 00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:35.759 and then finally it'll go in. 701 00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:38.680 Well, and then I'll remind her that's why Caitlin Clark 702 00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:40.240 won a Rookie of the Year. I'll probably get punched 703 00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:42.400 in the face, I'll win a civil lawsuit, and I'll retire. 704 00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:44.440 I have a great business plan. I just have to 705 00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:44.920 enact it. 706 00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:46.839 Hey, I don't know how much you think you're winning 707 00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:48.920 in that civil lawsuit if you get three years of 708 00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:51.039 her salary and probably would only a couple a couple 709 00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:53.279 of months worth of renting in the Chicago area. 710 00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:55.880 Yeah, they do operate at a loss every single year. 711 00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:56.839 I forgot about that work. 712 00:32:57.200 --> 00:32:59.640 And on that note, what do we make of Kayu's 713 00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:04.079 deep They gave up eighty seven points UCF made for Okay, 714 00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:07.160 I can do that. I am good for something and 715 00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:10.839 it's not ass, but you know it is the ass drop. 716 00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:13.400 Ken Bom didn't like this game very much. They dropp 717 00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:16.440 Kansas a couple of spots. Fourteen of thirty six was 718 00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:18.319 UCS line from three. They went two for nine over 719 00:33:18.359 --> 00:33:20.480 the last ten minutes. That coincides with the kJ Adams 720 00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:23.119 playing more Kansas. Also, you know we said this was 721 00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:25.039 a game. This is a loss last year, by the way, 722 00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:28.640 because last year Kansas didn't have three point shooting to 723 00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:31.039 keep up win their opponents for making threes. They didn't 724 00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:33.279 make more than UCF They went ten of twenty one 725 00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:36.839 finished minus twelve on three point point points from the 726 00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:39.039 three point line. But I'll tell you what, minus twelve 727 00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:40.359 is a hell of a lot better than the minus 728 00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:42.160 twenty seven that this would have been last year. 729 00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:45.400 Yeah, that's true, Nick, Timberlake would have shot about twelve 730 00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:47.359 times and only four of them might have hit the rim. 731 00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:51.480 Speaking of Angel Reyes Bricks, Yes to the neck Timberlake experience. 732 00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:54.440 Tell me about tell me about the point guards. 733 00:33:56.000 --> 00:34:01.160 Yeah, Tawan Harris who has the ankles. And actually I 734 00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:02.720 can't make the joke I was about to make because 735 00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:05.119 I'd get fired. Dwan Harris did not play because of 736 00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:07.400 an ankle injury that happened in practice. Bill self said 737 00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:09.320 he hopes to have him back for Baylor on Saturday. 738 00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:13.280 In his place, Shaq Moore played, who did not score 739 00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:16.239 and only played twelve minutes. Pretty bizarre. David Quoite starred 740 00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:18.280 as point guard off the bench, scoring twelve points. He 741 00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:21.480 went four to eight for deep in twenty eight minutes 742 00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:25.960 and then also segue here to Ryland Griffin. He played 743 00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:29.039 twenty six minutes. He only had four points, also had 744 00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:33.199 four fouls on two for five shooting bizarre, and Aj 745 00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:36.840 Store was over three. He turned it over twice seven 746 00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:39.039 minutes and he did not blame him the second half. 747 00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:41.519 What do you make of that? 748 00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:44.960 That's a lot aj storer selves getting close to giving up. 749 00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:47.400 He's he's about to tap out of this one, and 750 00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:48.400 I'm not seeing out. 751 00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:49.960 I'm not a transfer portal by now. 752 00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:53.480 Yeah, I think that Store Sam was going was the 753 00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:56.880 GoPro after this year, and there's just yeah, I don't 754 00:34:56.920 --> 00:34:58.880 know how this will work. Both Store and Griffin can 755 00:34:58.920 --> 00:35:02.000 come back, and you you have to wonder how happy 756 00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:04.719 either one of them is with their roles. Griffin is 757 00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:07.199 obviously gonna have value. It's gonna be games it's wild. 758 00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:08.840 If you had been told they were gonna score ninety 759 00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:11.800 one points, especially after Saturday's performance, I think you would 760 00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:13.559 have bet on Griffin playing a lot more of an 761 00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:17.039 impact than he did. But you know, sometimes whenever you're 762 00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:18.920 a three point specialist, there's gonna be games like this. 763 00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:21.280 The guy I want I want to highlight is Koit 764 00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:23.800 because David Koit took a lot of crap from ku 765 00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:25.800 Twitter earlier in the year about how he shouldn't be 766 00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:27.559 on this roster, he doesn't belonging to be on a 767 00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:31.320 power five team, and I defended him saying that Bill self, 768 00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:35.079 for all his transfer portal woes over the years, Bill 769 00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:38.760 Self correctly identified David Koit as that's the guy I 770 00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:42.079 need to be an experienced leader, point guard that can 771 00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:45.559 handle the ball and shoot the three occasionally from the bench. 772 00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:47.960 I know Cooit hasn't shot the ball super well in 773 00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:50.199 the conference play. Actually he shot it quite terribly in 774 00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:52.760 conference play, as he only had two. He was two 775 00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:55.519 for seventeen and conference play entering this and then goes 776 00:35:55.559 --> 00:35:57.400 four to eight. But this is why you get a 777 00:35:57.480 --> 00:36:00.320 David Koit. This is why you need depth. This is 778 00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:02.599 why a bench helps you have to have a point 779 00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:05.199 guard that can dribble and not turn it over off 780 00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:08.719 the bench whenever you're already having point guard shortage issues. 781 00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:10.440 And not only that, but he went out there and 782 00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:12.559 he made four threes. I thought he played excellent and 783 00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:15.760 I thought that Bill self should definitely get commended for 784 00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:19.039 his transfer portal woes. He identified the exact role that 785 00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:20.079 he needed to fill with Quoit. 786 00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:23.440 Yeah, he knocked it out of the park with Koit. 787 00:36:23.559 --> 00:36:26.559 He's someone that Kansas has lacked in the last few years, 788 00:36:26.599 --> 00:36:28.239 kind of like when they tried to get Charlie Moore 789 00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:29.000 and he flopped. 790 00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:34.440 Have made last year, David Koit would have been such 791 00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:37.960 a helpful piece on last year's team to plug. 792 00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:40.960 In play agreed. Yeah, No, he was a piece of 793 00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:44.000 last year's team missed. And I think we said this 794 00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:45.719 earlier in the year. I mean, he's gonna go out 795 00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:48.440 and win Kansas a couple of games, and or maybe 796 00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:50.639 Bill self even said that, And I think you can 797 00:36:50.679 --> 00:36:52.239 make the case that he kind of did here. 798 00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:55.559 Yeah, he absolutely did. And people are gonna be like, well, 799 00:36:55.880 --> 00:36:58.960 the guy that every team needs isn't Koit, It's a 800 00:36:59.079 --> 00:37:02.079 Kevin Durant off the bench. Well, whenever you're getting a 801 00:37:02.159 --> 00:37:05.400 freaking August and you have to find a backup point guard, Like, 802 00:37:05.559 --> 00:37:07.559 who else do you want? I thought that this worked 803 00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:09.800 as well as it realistically could have. Yeah, this is 804 00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:13.000 a loss without quoit, and he's had moments that he's 805 00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:15.960 helped them, if not win, almost win games like the 806 00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:21.199 Missouri comeback. Was him spearheading that charge. Like, yeah, he's 807 00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:23.320 a valuable player. You want him to play about twelve 808 00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:26.039 minutes a game, but he has the ability where crap, 809 00:37:26.079 --> 00:37:29.000 we're missing a point guard and we need offense. Okay, 810 00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:30.639 he's a guy that you trust to go play twenty 811 00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:32.559 twenty five minutes. Last year, when they need a timberlight 812 00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:34.840 to play twenty five minutes a game, you knew that 813 00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:36.760 they were f't not so much now. 814 00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:40.480 Yeah, it's really really nice to have depth on this team. 815 00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:42.199 It is a really comforting feeling. 816 00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:46.320 I don't have anything to say about aj Store. He's 817 00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:50.920 running out of time and I've never seen fit. I've 818 00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:55.159 never seen a guy hoist so many slow developing jumpers 819 00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:58.639 that you are stunned if any of them go in and. 820 00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:00.599 They look terrible to you. The rotate on the ball 821 00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:03.440 looks horrible. Yeah, it's it's a horrible fit. It makes 822 00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:06.800 me wonder why he was brought to Kansas. I understand why. 823 00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:08.519 I mean, he's obviously a good player. He had a 824 00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:11.159 really good career at Wisconsin, but in terms of the 825 00:38:11.199 --> 00:38:14.159 lineup fit and with Bill self, it's just it is 826 00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:14.920 a nightmare. 827 00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:18.559 Well, we knew that he was going to need to 828 00:38:18.559 --> 00:38:21.039 be We talked about this on the preseason show. We said, 829 00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:23.159 he's not a great three point shooter, he's not a 830 00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:25.760 great rebounder, he's not a great passer. He has one 831 00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:28.480 thing that he does really, really well, and that's drive 832 00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:30.280 to the cup and get the ball in the hoop. 833 00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:34.239 And he looks interested in doing anything. But there was 834 00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:36.199 like a two minute sequence in the first half here 835 00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:38.599 where I thought he did a good job attacking the basket. 836 00:38:38.679 --> 00:38:40.199 They didn't go in, but I thought he did a 837 00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:42.519 good job attacking it. Then he hoisted a long range 838 00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:44.519 jay turned it over a couple times, and that was 839 00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:46.800 curtains for the rest of the game. And normally we 840 00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:48.679 get irritated at Bill self for having too quick of 841 00:38:48.679 --> 00:38:51.000 a hook. Considering how this game was going, the defense 842 00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:53.840 was a struggle enough, he would have been a total 843 00:38:53.880 --> 00:38:56.920 liability they could. He was right not to play him, 844 00:38:57.280 --> 00:38:59.440 But yeah, I don't know. There's gonna be games where 845 00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:02.519 against the tea of the world where you'd like to 846 00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:04.960 think just about any combination of players will overwhelm them, 847 00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:08.119 where he might play well. But Store is now zero 848 00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:10.360 for nine from the floor in the last two games. 849 00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:14.559 Which is that's just jelling. Nope, it's not gelling, and 850 00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:17.039 it might just be too late. Final question of the 851 00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:20.159 recap here. So their next three games for Kansas are 852 00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:23.559 all interesting. Ones at Baylor is a coin flip on 853 00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:27.639 ken Pom. Iowa State at home matchup wise projects to 854 00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:30.400 be very close, although you have optimism. It's at Allen 855 00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:32.880 Field House hasn't been the greatest thing this year, but 856 00:39:33.119 --> 00:39:35.119 home game against a really good team also a coin 857 00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:37.360 flip for Ken Pom. Then they go on the road 858 00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:40.880 and play at Kansas State, not a particularly great team, 859 00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:42.360 but they have one two in a row, and you 860 00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:44.719 know that the octagon will be rocking when Kansas goes 861 00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:48.400 there three games that could go either way. Pick their record. 862 00:39:48.480 --> 00:39:50.000 What are they in their next three games? 863 00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:52.880 Do we know if Dwan Harris is playing. 864 00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:55.519 They made it sound like they made it sound like 865 00:39:55.559 --> 00:39:57.039 Harris is probably gonna play on Saturday. 866 00:39:57.119 --> 00:40:00.679 Yeah, okay, I h boy, I don't want to say 867 00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:03.639 I think they go through you. No, I wow saying. 868 00:40:03.920 --> 00:40:06.239 Wow, Okay, I think if I had a gun to 869 00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:10.000 my temple and it goes off on Saturday, if I'm wrong, 870 00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:12.960 I think I would say two and one. That seems 871 00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:13.239 like the. 872 00:40:13.239 --> 00:40:16.360 Smart I think it's safer. Yeah, but I think you. 873 00:40:16.239 --> 00:40:18.079 Could argue that they should be the favorite in all 874 00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:20.400 three games. Okay, how about this. If you were told 875 00:40:20.519 --> 00:40:22.440 right now they go one and two and you have 876 00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:24.079 to get the win, right, what would you bet on 877 00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:24.639 the win being? 878 00:40:26.239 --> 00:40:29.400 I actually think they win at home against Iowa Sight. 879 00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:31.320 No, that's the right one. It's you take the home 880 00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:33.800 even though Iowa State's the best of those three teams. 881 00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:37.840 Yeah, and I also I'm a little like Kansas State 882 00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:41.559 is playing really good. They've also played atrocious team, so 883 00:40:41.880 --> 00:40:45.159 there's a massive Titanic sized grain of salt in this. 884 00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:49.239 But they appear to have clicked a little bit, and 885 00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:51.960 they always get up for Kansas. Kansas only beat Case 886 00:40:51.960 --> 00:40:55.000 State at home by a single ditches. I can't remember 887 00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:55.400 the score. 888 00:40:55.519 --> 00:40:57.360 I think they got it to ten with light free throws, 889 00:40:57.360 --> 00:40:59.559 but yeah, it was a dog more than you thought 890 00:40:59.559 --> 00:40:59.960 it would be. 891 00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:03.280 So, I mean, I am a little concerned that they 892 00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:07.280 might lose in Manhattan, but again, you know what, It's February, 893 00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:10.599 Billsof's teams tend to click right about now. I think 894 00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:12.599 they win at least two of those games. 895 00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:15.199 I like it. I like the call, and we'll see 896 00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:17.280 what we pick here later with the Baylor game coming 897 00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:19.519 up place they haven't won in a while. In this game, 898 00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:21.960 Kansas forty four percent from the floor and forty eight 899 00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:23.880 percent from three. It's not all the time that you 900 00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:25.800 see them shoot a better percent from three than two, 901 00:41:26.079 --> 00:41:28.360 and they did eighty six percent of the line. They 902 00:41:28.400 --> 00:41:31.039 continue to be very good there, plus twelve on the glass. 903 00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:34.400 That was awesome, especially considering UCF didn't miss a lot 904 00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:36.880 of shots. That's even harder to do. And they did 905 00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:39.880 turn it over twelve times. They didn't play without their 906 00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:42.480 point guard. And it seems like Kansas has a thing 907 00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:46.000 where in games wherever they have double digit turnovers, seventy 908 00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:47.719 percent of them are in the first half. It seems 909 00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:49.760 like they usually figure it out and turn the ball 910 00:41:49.800 --> 00:41:53.159 over less in the closing stretches. Except for one game 911 00:41:53.199 --> 00:42:02.800 the other day. Yeah, soundboard ends working. Soundboard is working 912 00:42:02.840 --> 00:42:05.320 as well as that, as as k you did that 913 00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:06.199 day ask. 914 00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:07.840 Yep? 915 00:42:08.400 --> 00:42:09.480 Okay, at least I got that. 916 00:42:10.920 --> 00:42:11.360 All right. 917 00:42:11.719 --> 00:42:14.039 I mean, you seef by four. You seef better than 918 00:42:14.039 --> 00:42:17.280 we thought, Kansas. Yeah, you put a win in your pocket. Whatever, 919 00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:19.280 I'm good with it. They gotta they gotta start making 920 00:42:19.360 --> 00:42:21.079 up for some of the ones they lost, though, and 921 00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:25.519 Saturday would be a good place to start. Yep, let's 922 00:42:25.559 --> 00:42:31.079 talk about it. Big twelve games, Cam, I think the 923 00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:33.400 easiest way to do this. Whenever there's only two of us, 924 00:42:33.440 --> 00:42:36.199 I'll shout the score and you tell me what happened. 925 00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:39.199 Oh boy, let's let's get after it here. 926 00:42:39.679 --> 00:42:43.719 Big responsibilities with games this exciting. This one actually was 927 00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:48.079 worthy of some of some popping up here. Arizona eighty six, 928 00:42:48.239 --> 00:42:52.039 number three, Iowa State seventy five in overtime, and wow, 929 00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:54.480 what a job it was by Arizona to get it there. 930 00:42:55.039 --> 00:42:57.000 Yeah, I'm going a little offscript here in the game 931 00:42:57.039 --> 00:43:00.679 that makes absolutely zero sense, a lot like Caleb Loves selection. 932 00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:04.079 The Cyclones led by three with less than three seconds left. 933 00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:06.719 They only to see, only to see Caleb Love, who 934 00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:08.800 at the moment was one for ten of the night 935 00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:12.760 from three, splashing a sixty foot buzzer beater to force overtime, 936 00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:17.360 because why not. Caleb Love then apparently forgot that he 937 00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:21.480 couldn't shoot for the prior forty minutes of the game 938 00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:25.079 and went off and overtime. With twenty two points total, 939 00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:27.920 he lifted the Wildcats to a win. Arizona is now 940 00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:31.400 eight and one in outright possession of second place. Big 941 00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:32.719 turnaround for Tommy Lloyd. 942 00:43:33.800 --> 00:43:36.000 Yeah, we knew they had a talented team, and they 943 00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:38.480 tacked a lot of bad luck losses in the non 944 00:43:38.559 --> 00:43:40.480 con and they've had a lot of good luck losses 945 00:43:40.519 --> 00:43:43.000 here in case this one isn't enough to show you 946 00:43:43.039 --> 00:43:46.920 that Caleb Love is Jamis Winston minus the off the 947 00:43:46.960 --> 00:43:49.480 field problems. He does things that make you go, oh 948 00:43:49.519 --> 00:43:51.840 my gosh, he's one of the best players I've ever seen, 949 00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:54.880 and then he does he's probably better at his craft 950 00:43:54.880 --> 00:43:58.280 than Winston is at his But then he'll get on unbelievable. 951 00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:01.440 You just got to live with it, like he's ridiculous. 952 00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:05.239 Really tough back half of the schedule for Arizona. They 953 00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:07.519 have won some nice road wins this year, and this 954 00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:09.440 was a great win. No doubt they do have a 955 00:44:09.440 --> 00:44:11.559 return game at Iowa State coming up. They have to 956 00:44:11.559 --> 00:44:13.920 go at Kansas. They still haven't played Houston, they still 957 00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:16.159 haven't played Texas Tech. And they have to go at 958 00:44:16.239 --> 00:44:19.239 Baylor and at BYU, who's quietly having a really nice 959 00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:22.559 season at home. So tough back ten coming up for them, 960 00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:25.679 but they've definitely righted the ship. Iowa State will be fine. 961 00:44:25.679 --> 00:44:28.880 They've lost two games in the final second of regulation 962 00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:32.480 this year and that's a lousy flight home, I'm sure 963 00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:34.519 after this, but still a really good team. I think 964 00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:36.760 they're going to be better than Arizona in the standings 965 00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:37.480 at the end of the year. 966 00:44:38.719 --> 00:44:41.119 Yeah, I agreed. Crazy, crazy game to watch. 967 00:44:41.679 --> 00:44:44.159 Somebody who will not be better in the standings. Well, 968 00:44:44.199 --> 00:44:46.760 either of these teams, especially one of them, Arizona State 969 00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:51.119 seventy Colorado with lots of LS sixteen to eight. I 970 00:44:51.159 --> 00:44:53.440 don't have any notes in this game except for Colorado's record. 971 00:44:53.719 --> 00:44:57.519 Yeah, Ryan quite legitimately put oh to nine. Is the 972 00:44:57.559 --> 00:44:59.840 only bullet point here, so Colorado. 973 00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:04.320 There were like four hundred souls in the stands at 974 00:45:04.320 --> 00:45:06.519 this game. It was a close game down the stretch. 975 00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:08.920 I watched Colorado try to tie it. They did not, 976 00:45:09.159 --> 00:45:12.320 and like six fans stood up and were like, yeah, 977 00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:13.320 I guess it's time to go now. 978 00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:16.760 If you find yourself in the crowd at a Colorado 979 00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:20.000 basketball game in the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty five, 980 00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:22.840 I think at least half of the people in the 981 00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:26.079 stands are just kids in diversion programs that are trying 982 00:45:26.079 --> 00:45:28.199 to stay off drugs, that are forced to be here. 983 00:45:28.599 --> 00:45:29.239 That's all right, and. 984 00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:33.719 Having them watch Colorado basketball with a rooting interest is 985 00:45:33.719 --> 00:45:36.199 not a great way to keep them drugs. 986 00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:37.079 Yeah. 987 00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:40.039 Yeah, Colorado hasn't won a game in a very long time. 988 00:45:40.119 --> 00:45:42.880 Remember whenever they beat Yukon and Maui by a point. 989 00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:45.719 Whenever you can of a loss, was that for Yukon? 990 00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:48.920 It was bad, But also it was fluky and Yukon 991 00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:52.079 did not care at all. So the last team that 992 00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:55.719 Colorado beat was Bellermine on the Saturday. 993 00:45:55.239 --> 00:46:01.239 Before mist Goodness, they went the way not that long ago. Yes, 994 00:46:01.320 --> 00:46:04.360 they were. I saw their Their college golf team was 995 00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:06.239 in tournaments that I played in when I was at 996 00:46:06.239 --> 00:46:07.119 a D two school. 997 00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:10.599 Here are Colorado's nine wins. You tell me if one 998 00:46:10.679 --> 00:46:16.719 stands out. Eastern Washington, Northern Colorado, cal State, Fullerton, Harvard, Yukon, Pacific, 999 00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:18.840 Colorado State, South, Dakota State, beller Mine. 1000 00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:22.079 Yeah, cal State Fullerton was a quad one one, I'm 1001 00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:22.599 pretty sure. 1002 00:46:23.519 --> 00:46:27.519 Yeah. And up until uh Houston won at Allen Field House, 1003 00:46:27.719 --> 00:46:30.760 Colorado had more quad one wins than Houston did. 1004 00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:32.920 That's now definitely so sad. 1005 00:46:33.920 --> 00:46:37.599 I'm gonna read you Kansas's last eleven Big twelve games 1006 00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:42.159 and you tell me which ones they lose. Ready, yep, 1007 00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:44.599 I just this just made me like, it doesn't have 1008 00:46:44.639 --> 00:46:46.679 a lot to do with Colorado, but it made me 1009 00:46:46.679 --> 00:46:49.639 think Kansas's Big twelve road schedule isn't too bad. Let's 1010 00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:53.239 see if that's right. At Baylor win or loss, when 1011 00:46:54.519 --> 00:47:02.920 Iowa State at home, when at Kansas State, when Colorado win, 1012 00:47:03.039 --> 00:47:08.760 I hope at Utah win. Wow, Cam's got them on 1013 00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:14.480 a five game streak at BYU loss, Oklahoma State win 1014 00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:21.639 at Colorado revenge game win, Texas Tech at home win, 1015 00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:28.840 at Houston loss, and Arizona and Senior Day win. All right, 1016 00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:31.400 so you have them winning, you have them fifteen and 1017 00:47:31.480 --> 00:47:33.239 five like that's. 1018 00:47:33.079 --> 00:47:36.320 That would be great, that's a great Actually, you know what, 1019 00:47:36.360 --> 00:47:38.400 if they can get to fifteen and five, that is 1020 00:47:38.480 --> 00:47:42.039 a great resume for March. I think, realistically, if I 1021 00:47:42.079 --> 00:47:45.559 could change one thing, I think they might lose to 1022 00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:49.679 eh Man. They're just they're so due to winning Waco. 1023 00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:52.960 Baylor and BYU. If they win one of those two 1024 00:47:53.079 --> 00:47:55.760 road games, there's a real path to getting the fifteen wins. 1025 00:47:56.360 --> 00:47:59.519 Agreed, Yeah, I just it's I don't know, we'll see. 1026 00:47:59.679 --> 00:48:02.159 I'm trying to talk myself into believing a little bit. 1027 00:48:03.079 --> 00:48:05.079 Just wait till they lose in Colorado and then we 1028 00:48:05.159 --> 00:48:06.199 really burned the show. 1029 00:48:06.039 --> 00:48:06.559 To the ground. 1030 00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:11.320 Speaking of sort speaking of BYU and Baylor. They played 1031 00:48:11.320 --> 00:48:13.800 this week and it was a good one. BYU ninety three, 1032 00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:16.400 Baylor eighty nine. Also in overtime. 1033 00:48:17.719 --> 00:48:20.000 Yeah, twenty three points on eight per eight from the floor, 1034 00:48:20.039 --> 00:48:25.320 including four threes from Canan catchings. What are these names 1035 00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:29.480 in this conference, guys, Baylor, they are exceptionally mid. It 1036 00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:31.880 definitely will suck when Kansas loses there. I did not 1037 00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:35.119 write this note, by the way, but they're also losing 1038 00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:37.239 to Provos, so at least we have that consolation prize. 1039 00:48:38.119 --> 00:48:41.360 Yeah, Provo is allowed fun environment to watch a game. Also, 1040 00:48:41.440 --> 00:48:44.039 there was a bunch of random, not very Mormon stuff 1041 00:48:44.039 --> 00:48:48.519 happening here. Snoop Dogg was playing music overhead, and then 1042 00:48:48.559 --> 00:48:51.800 there was Connor McGregor pumping up the BYU student section 1043 00:48:51.880 --> 00:48:55.039 with b why you chance. Still don't know why he 1044 00:48:55.159 --> 00:48:56.880 was there, but it looked fun, right. 1045 00:48:57.000 --> 00:48:57.239 Yeah. 1046 00:48:57.360 --> 00:48:58.960 Not the guy that you would have expected to be 1047 00:48:59.000 --> 00:48:59.760 in Mormontown. 1048 00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:02.599 No, I'm pretty sure he violates most of their tenant 1049 00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:07.039 the principles of Mormonism. 1050 00:49:05.719 --> 00:49:10.639 As does Snoop Dogg, which they top from playing the music. Yeah. 1051 00:49:10.880 --> 00:49:13.519 Utah sixty nine, Cincinnati sixty six. 1052 00:49:13.639 --> 00:49:18.079 Gross, Yeah, disgusting game. Youths turn it over nineteen times. 1053 00:49:18.480 --> 00:49:23.000 Cincinnati offense sucks. They can't make anything. Gabe Manson had eighteen. 1054 00:49:23.159 --> 00:49:26.440 Utah is four and five. Good for the utes, better 1055 00:49:26.480 --> 00:49:27.320 than we think we may have. 1056 00:49:27.880 --> 00:49:29.559 I don't know what we said at the beginning of 1057 00:49:29.599 --> 00:49:31.800 the year, but we may have tabbed Utah and UCF 1058 00:49:31.840 --> 00:49:34.400 as the worst two teams in this conference, and they are. 1059 00:49:35.639 --> 00:49:37.440 I'll tell you what we said, and it's not what 1060 00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:40.159 we said, it's what you said, and it was you. 1061 00:49:40.559 --> 00:49:44.119 Ryan Landrith said, I am not going to pick Utah 1062 00:49:44.239 --> 00:49:45.000 once this year. 1063 00:49:46.119 --> 00:49:48.280 That's true, and I don't know if I have. If 1064 00:49:48.320 --> 00:49:52.239 we're being honest, and they're they're hanging in there, and 1065 00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:54.840 I think I also had Kansas State doing really well 1066 00:49:54.880 --> 00:49:57.400 in the conference, so we're just, yeah, we all know, 1067 00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:01.039 oh yeah, yeah, it was a good one. I guess 1068 00:50:01.119 --> 00:50:03.119 I should have had this team winning number six. Houston 1069 00:50:03.199 --> 00:50:06.480 sixty three, West Virginia forty nine. God, they just keep 1070 00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:09.400 holding big twelve teams to these horrible point totals. 1071 00:50:10.039 --> 00:50:12.840 Yeah, it's almost like they're pretty good. The Cougars are 1072 00:50:12.920 --> 00:50:15.239 nine to zero after getting seventeen from LJ. Cryer, who 1073 00:50:15.239 --> 00:50:18.159 has been in college since the George W. Bush administration. 1074 00:50:18.599 --> 00:50:22.159 West Virginia's leading score was Joseph Yesifu. Yes, that Joseph Yesafu, 1075 00:50:22.199 --> 00:50:24.440 who could not do anything for Kansas. He had nine 1076 00:50:24.440 --> 00:50:27.360 points and nine points out of their forty nine point 1077 00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:29.639 total is the equivalent of scoring twenty points in a 1078 00:50:29.639 --> 00:50:32.199 normal game. West Virginia is two and five in their 1079 00:50:32.280 --> 00:50:34.719 last seven after starting two and oh they kind of 1080 00:50:34.760 --> 00:50:38.159 suck and somehow beat Kansas in Kansas. I'm still very 1081 00:50:38.199 --> 00:50:38.880 upset about that. 1082 00:50:39.840 --> 00:50:41.920 Yeah, that's the one you want back, right, Like, if 1083 00:50:41.920 --> 00:50:45.239 that game doesn't happen, If that game doesn't happen, Kansas 1084 00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:47.000 is seven and two, and they're right there in the 1085 00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:50.840 thick of the conference race, but instead, you know, two 1086 00:50:50.920 --> 00:50:53.519 all losses that you really shouldn't have lost either one 1087 00:50:53.519 --> 00:50:55.239 of them, and a road loss out of place that 1088 00:50:55.320 --> 00:50:59.119 everyone loses at like they are a couple flips of 1089 00:50:59.159 --> 00:51:01.159 the coin away from being nine and one and or 1090 00:51:01.199 --> 00:51:03.159 eight and one. I'm not saying that's really how it works, 1091 00:51:03.199 --> 00:51:06.599 because previous Kansas teams may have found ways to get 1092 00:51:06.599 --> 00:51:10.880 it done, but that's that's where they are, sneakily sneaking 1093 00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:12.880 their way into the top three of this conference. Is 1094 00:51:12.920 --> 00:51:16.480 this team number twenty two Texas tex seventy one TCU 1095 00:51:16.599 --> 00:51:17.280 fifty seven? 1096 00:51:17.840 --> 00:51:19.800 Yeah? I can never remember the guy's name that is 1097 00:51:19.840 --> 00:51:21.840 a head coach there, but whatever his name is, can 1098 00:51:21.880 --> 00:51:25.880 really coach eighteen and fourteen for JT. Toppin? Is that 1099 00:51:25.960 --> 00:51:28.840 Obi Toppin's brother? Question Mark very well? 1100 00:51:28.920 --> 00:51:30.000 Might be Let me look that up. 1101 00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:33.559 Curious. Also, can we be done with Jamie Dixon? Yeah, 1102 00:51:33.559 --> 00:51:35.840 the dude sucks. The horn Frogs are ten and ten. 1103 00:51:36.199 --> 00:51:38.599 TCUs kind of like that guy that's sort of like 1104 00:51:38.719 --> 00:51:41.960 decent looking and has a girlfriend that's not very good looking, 1105 00:51:42.039 --> 00:51:44.639 and they're scared to get rid of that girlfriend because 1106 00:51:44.639 --> 00:51:46.920 he's like, I don't know if I can do any better, dude, 1107 00:51:47.199 --> 00:51:48.760 just cut the ties. It's time to go. 1108 00:51:49.679 --> 00:51:52.719 Yeah, you're not happy anymore. That sometimes you'll you'll find 1109 00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:53.239 pop on. 1110 00:51:53.239 --> 00:51:57.280 Christian Mingle far mony. 1111 00:51:57.559 --> 00:52:02.440 We meets plenty of fish in the tea pond right to. 1112 00:52:03.360 --> 00:52:06.719 That's that's that's that's funny. Uh. TCU is a good 1113 00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:09.079 look in college town? Aren't they like that? That that's 1114 00:52:09.079 --> 00:52:10.239 a good campus? 1115 00:52:10.639 --> 00:52:10.840 Yeah? 1116 00:52:11.039 --> 00:52:13.360 I think so, that's what That's what Dick would always say. 1117 00:52:13.519 --> 00:52:15.519 And since he's told me that, I I have not 1118 00:52:15.679 --> 00:52:17.639 found many examples that would say otherwise. 1119 00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:20.320 I well, fair enough, I mean I feel yeah, you 1120 00:52:20.360 --> 00:52:22.719 know what, I I don't know much about TCU a 1121 00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:24.800 matter of fact, don't even it's in Fort Worth, Texas, 1122 00:52:24.920 --> 00:52:28.159 right it is? That's right, Yes, that's all I know 1123 00:52:28.199 --> 00:52:29.239 about TCU. 1124 00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:31.239 Have you ever been to Texas? 1125 00:52:32.159 --> 00:52:34.960 Uh, I've fallen into Texas. I've never done anything in Texas. 1126 00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:37.320 I'm going to Texas. 1127 00:52:37.599 --> 00:52:37.760 Uh. 1128 00:52:37.960 --> 00:52:40.360 So my wife and I like taking little road trips 1129 00:52:40.400 --> 00:52:44.119 where we'll drive to place eight hours away and then 1130 00:52:44.239 --> 00:52:46.400 fly back. We were in a car and drive it around 1131 00:52:46.400 --> 00:52:49.039 and fly back or whatever, basically because I don't want 1132 00:52:49.039 --> 00:52:51.000 to spend the money on two flights. But I also 1133 00:52:51.000 --> 00:52:52.960 don't want to spend that much time in the car twice, 1134 00:52:53.199 --> 00:52:56.880 and neither one of us, despite being lifetime Johnson County, 1135 00:52:56.960 --> 00:52:59.760 Kansas residents, neither one of us have ever been to 1136 00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:04.280 Oklahoma or Texas. So we're like, Okay, gonna go see 1137 00:53:04.280 --> 00:53:07.119 the red dirt and see what's in Dallas, I guess, 1138 00:53:07.159 --> 00:53:09.639 and yes, not very I think dollas we're saying is 1139 00:53:09.719 --> 00:53:12.000 Fort Worth. Dallas is a cool city. They got a 1140 00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:15.639 lot of stuff there. It's become incredibly over trafficked. But yeah, 1141 00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:18.440 that's TCU is the closest Big twelve school there. I'll 1142 00:53:18.679 --> 00:53:21.039 go see how things are doing there and report back. 1143 00:53:21.079 --> 00:53:24.360 I'll report back on the attractives campus. How to answer 1144 00:53:24.440 --> 00:53:27.519 your question, Yes, Obi Toppin's younger brother is j T. Thompin, 1145 00:53:27.559 --> 00:53:30.199 and their coach is Grahama Castlin, who's quietly maybe the 1146 00:53:30.199 --> 00:53:31.320 Big twelve coach of the year. 1147 00:53:31.960 --> 00:53:36.320 Yeah, he's really good. That team is actually a good team. 1148 00:53:35.639 --> 00:53:37.840 Good team, good home court advantage, and they have that 1149 00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:40.199 random ass home loss to the UCF. They could be 1150 00:53:40.239 --> 00:53:42.480 eight and one right now, which is pretty wild. Schedules 1151 00:53:42.480 --> 00:53:45.079 about to get a lot tougher for them. Speaking of tougher, 1152 00:53:45.159 --> 00:53:48.679 schedules on the horizon, Kansas State eighty five, Oklahoma State 1153 00:53:48.760 --> 00:53:52.119 fifty seven. I mean, you know you'll you'll take it 1154 00:53:52.159 --> 00:53:54.679 all sands form they've they've absolutely deserved. 1155 00:53:58.159 --> 00:54:01.320 Don't wet the fighting your own tanks at hot as 1156 00:54:01.360 --> 00:54:03.719 they apparently are getting hot. Sore his feet because he 1157 00:54:03.800 --> 00:54:07.159 just kicked off the shoes washing eighteen points O Brendon thousand. 1158 00:54:07.519 --> 00:54:10.280 The Wildcats have won two straight. Don't call it a streak. 1159 00:54:11.559 --> 00:54:14.480 They're doing They're doing Kansas State things. And this is 1160 00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:16.960 where I inserted the George W. Bush meme of him 1161 00:54:17.000 --> 00:54:20.800 getting alerted to the terrorist attacks saying, my mister President, 1162 00:54:21.039 --> 00:54:23.679 I come to warn you that Kansas State is rounding 1163 00:54:23.719 --> 00:54:26.800 into Forum just in time for Kansas to come to Manhattan. 1164 00:54:27.840 --> 00:54:30.639 Absolutely great, It's exactly what everybody wants to hear, right, 1165 00:54:31.079 --> 00:54:33.760 But in all honestly, they beat they beat two horrible 1166 00:54:33.800 --> 00:54:36.679 teams at home. I guess West Virginia beating West Virginia 1167 00:54:36.760 --> 00:54:38.840 home is not something that everybody can say that they 1168 00:54:38.840 --> 00:54:44.000 did there you go, but you know they beat they 1169 00:54:44.360 --> 00:54:46.519 they did beat West Virginia home. They beat Oklahoma State 1170 00:54:46.519 --> 00:54:48.480 at home, who's lousy. And then they go to ams 1171 00:54:48.519 --> 00:54:50.519 this weekend well, see how that goes. Good luck, big 1172 00:54:50.599 --> 00:54:54.079 dwell standing. Number one. I do not think it'll go well, 1173 00:54:54.159 --> 00:54:57.440 especially off the loss. Number one is Houston they are 1174 00:54:57.519 --> 00:54:58.039 nine to zero. 1175 00:54:58.599 --> 00:55:00.239 Number two Arizona eight and one one. 1176 00:55:01.360 --> 00:55:03.719 Tied for third. Somehow this is true. Are Iowa State 1177 00:55:03.760 --> 00:55:06.599 and the Red Raiders of Texas Tech, both seven and two. 1178 00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:10.280 All alone in number fifth is underperforming Kansas at six 1179 00:55:10.320 --> 00:55:10.960 and three. 1180 00:55:12.039 --> 00:55:14.840 Right behind them their next opponent and the team that's 1181 00:55:14.840 --> 00:55:16.960 probably gonna beat them at home are in a few 1182 00:55:17.000 --> 00:55:20.320 weeks Baylor and BYU. The Christian schools, they're five. 1183 00:55:20.119 --> 00:55:24.519 And four, number eight West Virginia, UCF and Utah at 1184 00:55:24.559 --> 00:55:25.239 four and five. 1185 00:55:26.159 --> 00:55:28.599 I guess BYU is definitely not a Christian school. I 1186 00:55:28.679 --> 00:55:31.840 was thinking TCU they are a Mormon school whatever. The 1187 00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:36.480 religious schools, theology schools. Yeah, eleventh place are three schools that, 1188 00:55:36.519 --> 00:55:38.559 if we're being honest, none of them need their head coach. 1189 00:55:38.639 --> 00:55:41.320 K State, TCU, and Arizona State are all three and 1190 00:55:41.400 --> 00:55:43.440 six and nowhere near the NCAA tournament. 1191 00:55:44.000 --> 00:55:46.159 Yeah, all those teams could be coached by a Plunger 1192 00:55:46.199 --> 00:55:49.000 and they'd be just the same. Number fourteen in Cincinnati, 1193 00:55:49.039 --> 00:55:52.079 Oklahoma State two and seven, and then. 1194 00:55:52.199 --> 00:55:54.920 Way down by the south at the bottom is Colorado 1195 00:55:55.000 --> 00:55:57.159 with nine l's. I'm running out of spaces to put 1196 00:55:57.159 --> 00:55:59.679 the ls. And it's not getting any better because Colorado's 1197 00:55:59.679 --> 00:56:02.760 next games are on the road, not exactly against powerhouses, 1198 00:56:02.760 --> 00:56:05.320 but still road games not great. And then they get 1199 00:56:05.360 --> 00:56:07.920 Houston at home, and then they go to Allenfield House. 1200 00:56:08.000 --> 00:56:14.039 Oh and thirteen coming right up for a Tad Boyle gooflows. Yeah, 1201 00:56:14.039 --> 00:56:18.239 I guess that's also. Yeah, there you go, and for 1202 00:56:18.360 --> 00:56:19.880 Tad Boyle, all right, this has. 1203 00:56:19.800 --> 00:56:22.599 To be it. He's gonna have a great career coaching 1204 00:56:22.639 --> 00:56:24.239 the Guangdong Tigers. 1205 00:56:26.320 --> 00:56:28.840 I think the Gwandong Tigers can do better. He's been 1206 00:56:28.920 --> 00:56:32.039 coaching at Colorado since twenty ten, and he's had a 1207 00:56:32.039 --> 00:56:34.960 good career there. They've made the tournament four or five times, 1208 00:56:35.000 --> 00:56:37.840 Like this is this is a team that this is 1209 00:56:37.840 --> 00:56:40.199 a coach that's had some success. But I don't know 1210 00:56:40.239 --> 00:56:42.199 how you can look your donors in the eyes and 1211 00:56:42.239 --> 00:56:44.280 say we're signing up for more of this guy after 1212 00:56:44.320 --> 00:56:48.639 they go over money. Oh yeah, that's the answer to everything. 1213 00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:52.280 Other games. Who gets plenty of anile money is Duke 1214 00:56:52.679 --> 00:56:54.719 and the ACC is a three horse race with the 1215 00:56:54.800 --> 00:56:57.039 number two Blue Devils sitting at the top. They are 1216 00:56:57.079 --> 00:56:59.239 ten and oh they have the longest winning streaking college 1217 00:56:59.280 --> 00:57:02.199 basketball right now. They beat North Carolina State behind twenty 1218 00:57:02.239 --> 00:57:04.559 eight points from Cooper Flag in a game that had everything. 1219 00:57:05.159 --> 00:57:07.480 Their center chugged too much gatorade and threw up on 1220 00:57:07.480 --> 00:57:09.519 the court. They had to stop the game for it. 1221 00:57:09.880 --> 00:57:12.639 That somebody passed out in the student section and they 1222 00:57:12.639 --> 00:57:14.480 had to stop the game to wheel that poor kid 1223 00:57:14.519 --> 00:57:16.039 out of the out of there. They're fine now. We 1224 00:57:16.119 --> 00:57:17.639 mentioned on the last show so we can make jokes 1225 00:57:17.679 --> 00:57:21.000 about it. They just watched Kansas's ums and yeah, they're 1226 00:57:21.039 --> 00:57:24.119 totally fine. Weird game won by the Blue Devils, much 1227 00:57:24.159 --> 00:57:26.960 like the rest. Right behind the Blue Devils is Clemson 1228 00:57:27.039 --> 00:57:30.000 and number twenty one Louisville. They're nine and one in 1229 00:57:30.199 --> 00:57:32.920 league play. Louisville has gone from six and five to 1230 00:57:33.000 --> 00:57:36.079 sixteen and five by beating ten straight unranked teams. Jay 1231 00:57:36.119 --> 00:57:40.679 Williams said that he has John Shire higher then Pat 1232 00:57:40.719 --> 00:57:42.960 Kelcey on his Coach of the Year ranks. And the 1233 00:57:43.079 --> 00:57:45.840 literal only reason that you can say that's the thing 1234 00:57:46.679 --> 00:57:51.000 is if is if if you go there's my gosh, 1235 00:57:51.000 --> 00:57:53.000 there's no other way to do that. Hey, I'm watching 1236 00:57:53.000 --> 00:57:58.679 Sports Center right now and Jared Goff on, Yeah, he 1237 00:57:59.239 --> 00:58:03.079 won the past Precision Challenge that the Games Cam that's 1238 00:58:03.480 --> 00:58:05.440 as good as at Washington. 1239 00:58:06.199 --> 00:58:09.360 Yeah. I turned on Twitter. I logged into Twitter or whatever, 1240 00:58:09.360 --> 00:58:11.599 and I'm scrolling through and it's like Jared Goff is 1241 00:58:11.599 --> 00:58:14.400 putting on quite their performance in the cancun or wherever 1242 00:58:14.440 --> 00:58:16.039 it is Pro Bowl, and I was like, Man, that's 1243 00:58:16.079 --> 00:58:17.880 the most depressing thing that I've read today. 1244 00:58:19.159 --> 00:58:22.280 Yeah, that's that's what happened. The NFC is kicking ass here, 1245 00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:24.440 which makes up for the lack of Super Bowls they've 1246 00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:26.679 won against Patrick Mahomes the last half decade. 1247 00:58:27.320 --> 00:58:32.920 Yeah, probably going to continue the same thing, oh Man. 1248 00:58:33.440 --> 00:58:36.119 Running down time to build an NCAA case for the 1249 00:58:36.159 --> 00:58:40.199 tournament is unranked North Carolina, coached by a life sized 1250 00:58:41.079 --> 00:58:44.440 I don't know, plunger, Hubert Davis. They lost at Pittsburgh 1251 00:58:44.440 --> 00:58:47.239 to fall the seventh in the ACC to six and four. 1252 00:58:47.480 --> 00:58:49.920 They were just thirteen to nine overall. They have zero 1253 00:58:50.000 --> 00:58:53.159 wins against teams that are currently ranked. Oh my goodness, 1254 00:58:53.199 --> 00:58:54.320 AC Davis. 1255 00:58:55.159 --> 00:58:58.320 The ACC is so awful too, Like half of those 1256 00:58:58.320 --> 00:59:02.239 teams have already basically been in eliminated from the NCAA conversation. 1257 00:59:02.639 --> 00:59:05.400 There are some bad teams in the ACC. Like, the 1258 00:59:05.440 --> 00:59:08.679 worst Power five team not named to Paul that I've 1259 00:59:08.679 --> 00:59:12.199 seen in a while is Miami. There and there Georgia Tech. 1260 00:59:12.559 --> 00:59:16.039 Freaking what who else is in that conference? That's just buns. 1261 00:59:16.079 --> 00:59:17.559 Boston College hasn't. 1262 00:59:17.320 --> 00:59:18.679 Been anything since forgot. 1263 00:59:18.880 --> 00:59:21.679 Yeah, the only thing I can I know about Boston 1264 00:59:21.679 --> 00:59:24.679 College basketball is that's where the guy cried when he said, 1265 00:59:24.679 --> 00:59:26.800 I just liked how our teammates could go out to 1266 00:59:26.840 --> 00:59:30.239 eat after they had that completely winless season. Remember that 1267 00:59:30.480 --> 00:59:34.400 the kid, the kid crying after they lost every conference game. Yeah, 1268 00:59:34.440 --> 00:59:37.039 that's the only thing I know about them. 1269 00:59:37.320 --> 00:59:40.079 Yeah, I uh, it's funny. I looked up Miami basketball 1270 00:59:40.079 --> 00:59:42.719 and the picture that came up was a plumber's buck crack. 1271 00:59:43.880 --> 00:59:44.280 And this. 1272 00:59:45.960 --> 00:59:48.280 They haven't wont I told you. I told you they 1273 00:59:48.280 --> 00:59:50.719 have more coaches than wins in the last like like 1274 00:59:50.880 --> 00:59:53.840 fifteen games or something like that. When they up and quit, 1275 00:59:54.320 --> 00:59:56.719 that's that's wild. In the Big Ten, we don't have 1276 00:59:56.800 --> 00:59:58.920 much to say here, but number seven Michigan State. They 1277 00:59:59.000 --> 01:00:01.079 keep streaking. They've won the thirteen in a row. They 1278 01:00:01.119 --> 01:00:03.320 beat Joe Biden's favorite state. For those of you who 1279 01:00:03.320 --> 01:00:08.480 don't know what that state is, well, Number ten and 1280 01:00:08.719 --> 01:00:12.639 Michigan sit a couple of games behind them. I I 1281 01:00:13.000 --> 01:00:16.480 quickly steamrolled there before Cam could make political conversations because 1282 01:00:16.559 --> 01:00:18.599 in the inside of the main podcast, we are all 1283 01:00:18.719 --> 01:00:21.440 very happy with the direction that the country is going up. 1284 01:00:21.480 --> 01:00:25.679 What I'm not gonna say anything. I have no words 1285 01:00:25.719 --> 01:00:26.199 to say. 1286 01:00:26.440 --> 01:00:29.360 But we're also not gonna say it's worse than it 1287 01:00:29.519 --> 01:00:33.920 was under the last administration, because again on this podcast, 1288 01:00:34.039 --> 01:00:38.480 we take no political affiliation, especially not whenever we have 1289 01:00:39.320 --> 01:00:41.440 we have drops on the show like this, get that 1290 01:00:41.519 --> 01:00:42.039 son of a. 1291 01:00:43.599 --> 01:00:46.960 Now oh man, that was. 1292 01:00:49.400 --> 01:00:52.000 That's Bill self watching aj Storre turn it over twice 1293 01:00:52.039 --> 01:00:52.719 in seven minutes. 1294 01:00:54.559 --> 01:00:57.159 Yeah, well, I think a store might get locked away 1295 01:00:57.159 --> 01:00:59.280 in a basement if we're not careful, we might actually 1296 01:00:59.280 --> 01:01:02.159 we actually might. I hear from him again, didn't they 1297 01:01:02.159 --> 01:01:04.480 say guant Guantanano Bay is. 1298 01:01:04.559 --> 01:01:06.760 Opening back up? I would be careful if I may 1299 01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:11.440 Bill Bill there, He's got to be very very careful. 1300 01:01:11.239 --> 01:01:13.679 And make sure that citizenship is all good to go. 1301 01:01:14.119 --> 01:01:14.280 Uh. 1302 01:01:14.320 --> 01:01:17.360 Saint Mary's who is unranked and desperate for quality wins 1303 01:01:17.400 --> 01:01:19.679 in a league that there aren't any four quality wins. 1304 01:01:19.719 --> 01:01:22.239 Went on a job, dropping thirty to zero runs spanning 1305 01:01:22.320 --> 01:01:24.800 thirteen minutes. They flipped a two point deficit into a 1306 01:01:24.800 --> 01:01:28.599 twenty eight point lead. Also was against Santa Claus Santa Clara, 1307 01:01:28.679 --> 01:01:31.119 so not sure that counts much. The Gills are not 1308 01:01:31.159 --> 01:01:35.000 in over the WCC. Meanwhile, Gonzaga, who is currently unranked, 1309 01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:38.119 their two games behind them after taking revenge out on 1310 01:01:38.280 --> 01:01:40.760 Oregon State beating them by thirty eight points. 1311 01:01:41.920 --> 01:01:44.320 Yeah, it looks like another one of those Gonzaga has 1312 01:01:44.400 --> 01:01:47.159 to win if Gonzaga wants to win the conference, which 1313 01:01:47.199 --> 01:01:49.960 doesn't matter as much anymore because their streak died last year. 1314 01:01:50.159 --> 01:01:53.559 They better hope Saint Mary's chokes. I bet that won't happen. 1315 01:01:53.760 --> 01:01:57.039 Saint Mary's never they choked. There it goes again. Gonzaga 1316 01:01:57.039 --> 01:01:59.800 won the league like every single year that happens. Oh, well, 1317 01:02:00.360 --> 01:02:03.559 teams play this weekend and yeah, that'll be probably not 1318 01:02:03.639 --> 01:02:06.480 very entertaining. It was another round of entertaining games in 1319 01:02:06.519 --> 01:02:09.639 the Southeastern Conference. Is number one Auburn. They keep on winning. 1320 01:02:09.719 --> 01:02:12.519 They won at number one LSU or they number one 1321 01:02:12.639 --> 01:02:16.480 Auburn one at LSU number twenty three Old Miss helped 1322 01:02:16.519 --> 01:02:19.599 Chris Beard beat his own or his old I'm having 1323 01:02:19.599 --> 01:02:24.239 a tough time he there it is, beat his old 1324 01:02:24.280 --> 01:02:28.679 Texas team by three and number four Alabama attribute to 1325 01:02:28.719 --> 01:02:32.239 the Brandon Miller years, picked up an impressive eighty eight 1326 01:02:32.280 --> 01:02:36.159 to eighty four win at number four Mississippi State. Great. Yeah, 1327 01:02:36.280 --> 01:02:40.800 great schools here in the SEC. Poorter Moser's lousy Oklahoma 1328 01:02:40.880 --> 01:02:43.920 team also picked up another loss by losing at number 1329 01:02:43.960 --> 01:02:46.039 thirteen Texas A and M hy wouldn't they There are 1330 01:02:46.239 --> 01:02:49.920 ten ranked teams in this league, unbelievably, but everybody is 1331 01:02:49.960 --> 01:02:52.440 fighting for third place in the conference because Auburn and 1332 01:02:52.519 --> 01:02:53.480 Alabama exist. 1333 01:02:54.679 --> 01:02:57.079 Yeah, pretty weird. The biggest winner of this week was 1334 01:02:57.159 --> 01:03:00.960 number twelve Kentucky. They went into Thompson Boilet Bowling and 1335 01:03:01.000 --> 01:03:03.480 beat number eight Tennessee seventy eight to seventy three. The 1336 01:03:03.519 --> 01:03:06.239 Wildcats shot fifty percent. They made twelve threes on one 1337 01:03:06.280 --> 01:03:09.920 of college basketball's best defenses, with eighteen points coming from 1338 01:03:10.000 --> 01:03:13.039 Colby Pray they have. By the way, Kentucky has his 1339 01:03:13.159 --> 01:03:15.320 only team in the country I saw earlier today to 1340 01:03:15.400 --> 01:03:17.199 have four top ten wins on the season. 1341 01:03:18.119 --> 01:03:19.679 Wow, yeah, that checks out. 1342 01:03:19.960 --> 01:03:20.079 Uh. 1343 01:03:20.280 --> 01:03:22.800 They also were aided by the fact that Tennessee missed 1344 01:03:22.840 --> 01:03:27.280 thirty four threes, quit taking them. Stop shooting the ball 1345 01:03:27.320 --> 01:03:29.599 whenever you missed your thirty three of the night and 1346 01:03:29.639 --> 01:03:33.280 the game's still close. Good Lord. Speaking of good Lord, 1347 01:03:33.320 --> 01:03:35.840 do you remember Cam there was a time when Georgetown 1348 01:03:35.960 --> 01:03:37.400 was good. I don't know if you remember that. 1349 01:03:37.519 --> 01:03:39.039 I do remember that very vaguely. 1350 01:03:40.039 --> 01:03:43.239 I believe the last memory of Georgetown being good that 1351 01:03:43.320 --> 01:03:47.800 I have is Florida Gulf Coast dunk you just completely ending. 1352 01:03:47.920 --> 01:03:51.039 Actually, yeah, I think that ended their entire program. 1353 01:03:51.480 --> 01:03:55.079 And if you remember, Georgetown that year was Kansas's two seed, 1354 01:03:55.639 --> 01:03:58.400 and so we were like, oh my gosh, the twenty 1355 01:03:58.400 --> 01:04:02.280 thirteen Jayhawks are gonna walk to the Final four. Absolutely 1356 01:04:02.280 --> 01:04:04.639 nothing is gonna get in their way now, and then 1357 01:04:04.840 --> 01:04:06.039 all of a sudden. 1358 01:04:07.440 --> 01:04:09.199 Worst show chapter in history. 1359 01:04:09.639 --> 01:04:13.000 Yeah, anyway about Georgetown, they are not now. They're not 1360 01:04:13.039 --> 01:04:16.840 good now. They fell behind thirty seven to eight versus 1361 01:04:16.920 --> 01:04:19.480 number fifteen Saint John's. It will shock you that they 1362 01:04:19.480 --> 01:04:21.000 wound up losing by twenty five. 1363 01:04:22.840 --> 01:04:24.920 Yeah, shout out to Rick Patino. By the way, Rick 1364 01:04:24.920 --> 01:04:28.440 Patino today pleaded with Kentucky fans to give John Caliparia 1365 01:04:28.440 --> 01:04:30.360 a standing ovation when he comes to Russ. I saw 1366 01:04:30.360 --> 01:04:30.960 that weekend. 1367 01:04:31.719 --> 01:04:33.880 He got booed when he went back there. I think 1368 01:04:34.039 --> 01:04:39.719 so that says a lot. I they should Callano. Yeah, 1369 01:04:39.760 --> 01:04:41.519 it's a little different, granted. 1370 01:04:41.440 --> 01:04:44.800 Because he went to Louisville, right, Uh, he went to 1371 01:04:44.840 --> 01:04:46.559 the Did he go to the NBA? 1372 01:04:46.599 --> 01:04:50.000 He went to the NBA and I can't remember jobs.

He absolutely should get 1382 01:05:15.079 --> 01:05:16.880 a standing. Oh and I don't think the game is 1383 01:05:16.880 --> 01:05:17.800 gonna go very well for. 1384 01:05:17.800 --> 01:05:20.719 Cal No, No, they suck.

He also might be just Mike 1396 01:05:54.679 --> 01:05:56.639 Woodson without Donovan clinging. 1397 01:05:57.159 --> 01:06:01.239 So yeah, yeah, yep, some are saying, but yeah. 1398 01:06:01.280 --> 01:06:04.559 Anyway, they led by fourteen when Ryan and Landen went 1399 01:06:04.559 --> 01:06:09.000 into an escape room and they texted me in before 1400 01:06:09.039 --> 01:06:10.599 they went to the skape room and asked me what 1401 01:06:10.719 --> 01:06:12.400 the final score would be and I said something that 1402 01:06:12.400 --> 01:06:15.440 I can't read on air. And when they came out, 1403 01:06:15.480 --> 01:06:19.320 they collected another loss. And also somewhere else in that league, 1404 01:06:19.320 --> 01:06:21.480 shock a sparts number nine. Marquette won by nine at 1405 01:06:21.480 --> 01:06:24.960 Butler to ruin a potential three hundred dollars plus payout 1406 01:06:25.079 --> 01:06:28.679 via a cam parlay, which I ended up cashing out 1407 01:06:28.719 --> 01:06:30.039 for I think like thirty bucks. 1408 01:06:30.239 --> 01:06:32.440 So sad say, hey, that's. 1409 01:06:32.639 --> 01:06:34.280 That's that one. 1410 01:06:35.119 --> 01:06:37.320 Yeah, because we can see the riding on the wall. 1411 01:06:37.400 --> 01:06:40.960 But yeah, Penny Hardaway, he ends up making you some 1412 01:06:41.039 --> 01:06:42.119 money and I. 1413 01:06:41.480 --> 01:06:43.719 I know he did not.

Well, the British showed up 1435 01:07:37.159 --> 01:07:39.960 and drove them out of the jungle, and these poor 1436 01:07:40.039 --> 01:07:42.559 bastards went into the water and they were eating alive 1437 01:07:42.599 --> 01:07:43.559 by crocodiles. 1438 01:07:44.400 --> 01:07:47.400 Wow, it's almost like mankind does not have a history 1439 01:07:47.440 --> 01:07:48.960 of being awesome to each other. 1440 01:07:49.960 --> 01:07:53.159 Yeah. No, they suck. We all suck. It's really bad. 1441 01:07:53.280 --> 01:07:58.039 That's horrible. I mean, that's I like how you're your 1442 01:07:58.480 --> 01:08:01.320 fact of the days are getting more more violent. I 1443 01:08:01.360 --> 01:08:04.159 look forward to the mid February shows for Cam's like, 1444 01:08:04.239 --> 01:08:07.159 so fun fact for most amount of people gunned down 1445 01:08:07.159 --> 01:08:08.840 by a single serial killer. 1446 01:08:08.800 --> 01:08:12.480 Is yeah, like fun fact. The guilt the guillotine was 1447 01:08:12.679 --> 01:08:14.599 invented in thirteen hundred. 1448 01:08:15.599 --> 01:08:18.520 Hey, we have said that certain people in sports should 1449 01:08:18.560 --> 01:08:20.600 be sent to the guillotine. I think Dan Hurley should 1450 01:08:20.600 --> 01:08:21.000 be first. 1451 01:08:22.520 --> 01:08:26.159 According to this article that I'm currently reading, supposedly over 1452 01:08:26.239 --> 01:08:29.359 five hundred Japanese soldiers were eating alive about crocodiles. 1453 01:08:30.079 --> 01:08:33.560 Wow, that's insane. Those are probably the fat crocodiles. If 1454 01:08:33.560 --> 01:08:36.359 they could eat people, I gotta think that they're well. 1455 01:08:36.560 --> 01:08:39.159 Also, keep this in mind, crocodiles can live for over 1456 01:08:39.199 --> 01:08:41.119 one hundred years, so some of them might still be 1457 01:08:41.199 --> 01:08:42.920 alive today, which is crazy. 1458 01:08:43.039 --> 01:08:45.000 It's not like this is not like one of those 1459 01:08:45.000 --> 01:08:47.520 times where it happens like in a civil area and 1460 01:08:47.560 --> 01:08:49.079 they end up euthanizing an animal. 1461 01:08:49.119 --> 01:08:50.319 When that does, Oh no, I ain't. 1462 01:08:51.560 --> 01:08:54.640 They're they are probably still roaming the streets or the jungles, 1463 01:08:54.680 --> 01:08:58.520 if you will. Yeah, right, teams to lose, Yeah, don't 1464 01:08:58.560 --> 01:09:00.760 don't go in there. Right aims to lose. It is 1465 01:09:00.760 --> 01:09:02.479 the last time we did a podcast. You have to 1466 01:09:02.520 --> 01:09:05.039 lead off with number eight Tennessee. They were the only 1467 01:09:05.119 --> 01:09:07.319 top eight or the top ten team to lose this week. 1468 01:09:07.359 --> 01:09:10.880 They lost to the fighting fighting Mark Pops. Now they're 1469 01:09:10.920 --> 01:09:11.760 not the pay Pal cows. 1470 01:09:11.880 --> 01:09:15.199 Yeah that they are not. Number fourteen Mississippi State lost 1471 01:09:15.199 --> 01:09:16.960 to Alabama. 1472 01:09:17.159 --> 01:09:20.479 Number seventeen Wisconsin lost to Maryland, the only state in 1473 01:09:20.520 --> 01:09:22.279 the Union named after a person. 1474 01:09:23.279 --> 01:09:24.960 Yeah we that was brought up on the last show. 1475 01:09:24.960 --> 01:09:27.479 And the number I can barely read right now. Number 1476 01:09:27.479 --> 01:09:31.119 eighteen Illinois lost at Nebrasketball. Big win for the Huskers, 1477 01:09:31.159 --> 01:09:32.600 who are now thirteen and eight. 1478 01:09:33.960 --> 01:09:36.800 Yeah, big win for the for Nebrasketball, and also a 1479 01:09:36.920 --> 01:09:41.800 truly awful loss for Illinois, who I had higher expectations 1480 01:09:41.800 --> 01:09:44.720 of than my expectations were. Don't lose to a Nebraska 1481 01:09:44.760 --> 01:09:46.880 team that I'd lost like seven in a row. Don't 1482 01:09:46.880 --> 01:09:49.159 do that. They did. It's not like Bill's gonna do 1483 01:09:49.199 --> 01:09:50.760 something similar in Kansas State. 1484 01:09:50.600 --> 01:09:53.720 Next week, for sure, is probably gonna have. 1485 01:09:57.199 --> 01:10:00.199 All right, let's do ask RCB, do you like eating 1486 01:10:00.319 --> 01:10:02.359 questions or do you prefer to have the questions read 1487 01:10:02.399 --> 01:10:03.640 to you? Are you a pillow Prentice? 1488 01:10:03.640 --> 01:10:06.479 I do it. That is the worst thing that's ever 1489 01:10:06.520 --> 01:10:09.880 been asked on the show. No, I'm not. And also 1490 01:10:10.159 --> 01:10:12.159 you should read them, because the last time that I 1491 01:10:12.239 --> 01:10:16.960 read them, it didn't go well, all right, I heard 1492 01:10:17.920 --> 01:10:18.479 here we go. 1493 01:10:19.359 --> 01:10:21.720 I mean no, we've definitely said worse right. 1494 01:10:21.680 --> 01:10:24.760 Yeah, that's what it insinuates. I also said I'd rather 1495 01:10:24.800 --> 01:10:27.520 get penetrated by a chuck e cheese animatic than to 1496 01:10:27.520 --> 01:10:29.279 watch Patrick Mahomes play for Kansas. 1497 01:10:29.359 --> 01:10:31.880 See that would imply that the answer to the question 1498 01:10:31.960 --> 01:10:32.920 I just asked is yes. 1499 01:10:33.600 --> 01:10:35.640 But as a hypothetical, I don't go out on it. 1500 01:10:35.960 --> 01:10:38.680 I don't go to I'm I'm actually you know what, 1501 01:10:38.680 --> 01:10:40.560 I'm not allowed within five hundred feet of a chuck 1502 01:10:40.560 --> 01:10:41.840 of cheese. 1503 01:10:44.159 --> 01:10:48.319 You and uh you and uh Rick Patino both at 1504 01:10:48.319 --> 01:10:50.399 this point because just look at I need to close 1505 01:10:50.439 --> 01:10:54.279 this tab with Rick Patino's face up at James D. Bedford. 1506 01:10:54.880 --> 01:10:58.600 James D. Bedford says, I can't find Landon's other podcasts. 1507 01:10:58.640 --> 01:10:59.560 Can you repeat the name of it? 1508 01:10:59.640 --> 01:10:59.800 Nice? 1509 01:10:59.840 --> 01:11:01.680 And since he didn't know the name of it, yes, 1510 01:11:01.720 --> 01:11:05.239 I can so. Landon's Landon's new podcast is the rate 1511 01:11:05.359 --> 01:11:08.680 log review podcast where I believe it is all based 1512 01:11:08.720 --> 01:11:11.479 on movies. It is a great Name's got good good 1513 01:11:11.479 --> 01:11:14.119 cover art as well. It is on Spotify. Not sure 1514 01:11:14.119 --> 01:11:16.279 if it's on the Apple App Store yet or the 1515 01:11:16.319 --> 01:11:18.760 podcast store. I looked it up on Spotify and if 1516 01:11:18.760 --> 01:11:22.000 you go to Rock Chalk Blogs, replies the tweets that 1517 01:11:22.039 --> 01:11:24.439 I've made in response to others, you will see that 1518 01:11:24.479 --> 01:11:27.119 I tweeted at James D. Bedford the link to that 1519 01:11:27.199 --> 01:11:29.640 if anybody is interested. Had a couple of people ask 1520 01:11:29.680 --> 01:11:32.119 me to that, so it is in there. Yeah, he 1521 01:11:32.159 --> 01:11:35.279 does good work. James also asks if the Big twelve 1522 01:11:35.399 --> 01:11:39.119 mascots like a literal bear and a literal buffalo are 1523 01:11:39.159 --> 01:11:42.600 all fighting to the death, which one wins? 1524 01:11:44.880 --> 01:11:46.720 Uh? A bear? 1525 01:11:46.840 --> 01:11:49.600 I think right, it's a freaking cyclone, isn't it. It has 1526 01:11:49.640 --> 01:11:50.479 to be a cyclone. 1527 01:11:50.560 --> 01:11:52.520 Oh, cyclone? Is that just Mother Nature? 1528 01:11:53.720 --> 01:11:59.880 Yeah? But a cyclone's taken out a bear probably what 1529 01:12:00.159 --> 01:12:04.479 the options here? We have a wildcat, two wildcats, we 1530 01:12:04.600 --> 01:12:08.039 have a I mean, a buffalo would be pretty tough. 1531 01:12:08.479 --> 01:12:10.880 Jayhawk would wouldn't put up much of a fight. A 1532 01:12:10.960 --> 01:12:14.640 horned frog is roadkill. A mountaineer is not doing too 1533 01:12:14.680 --> 01:12:15.600 hot in this scenario. 1534 01:12:15.640 --> 01:12:17.439 A mountaineer can't even read. I always felt like a 1535 01:12:17.479 --> 01:12:19.880 buffalo was like just trying to like if you had 1536 01:12:19.880 --> 01:12:22.159 to like try to guide a buffalod be like trying 1537 01:12:22.199 --> 01:12:24.800 to guide a minivan that's alive. 1538 01:12:25.880 --> 01:12:27.800 Right, Yeah, Like I want to say, like a cougar 1539 01:12:27.920 --> 01:12:30.600 or a wildcat, they have more teeth, they might be 1540 01:12:30.600 --> 01:12:33.319 able to do more physical damage, but they're not nearly 1541 01:12:33.359 --> 01:12:35.279 as big as a buffalo that can just flat out 1542 01:12:35.399 --> 01:12:36.039 run you over. 1543 01:12:36.720 --> 01:12:38.840 If I can make a mascot that was the fighting 1544 01:12:39.079 --> 01:12:41.520 cyclone buffalos, I don't think the team. 1545 01:12:41.319 --> 01:12:45.279 Would ever lose the FCBS. Yeah, they wouldn't have a 1546 01:12:45.279 --> 01:12:48.840 great NCAA tournament case. But I think that a buffalo 1547 01:12:48.920 --> 01:12:51.399 clears everything but a cyclone. Actually, I think i'd take 1548 01:12:51.439 --> 01:12:53.840 a buffalo over a bear. Buffaloes are huge. 1549 01:12:54.600 --> 01:12:56.359 Buffaloes are massive. The Great Ta Tunka. 1550 01:12:58.479 --> 01:13:00.119 Yeah, but if you just want to say, like the 1551 01:13:00.119 --> 01:13:03.039 Iowa state logo is the bird. I guess you could. 1552 01:13:03.239 --> 01:13:03.560 I don't know. 1553 01:13:03.600 --> 01:13:08.359 I'm saying cyclone takes out Buffalo, takes out bear all 1554 01:13:08.399 --> 01:13:11.159 the way down to a jayhawk might be last. If 1555 01:13:11.159 --> 01:13:14.960 we're being honest, it's Jay Oxen Holds Smith who can divers. Right. 1556 01:13:15.199 --> 01:13:17.199 They't even real so they're not even in this tournament. 1557 01:13:17.760 --> 01:13:20.199 The fourth horseman of the Apocalypse is a cyclone that 1558 01:13:20.279 --> 01:13:23.119 has buffalo attached to it. At least that's what I 1559 01:13:23.199 --> 01:13:25.880 read the Bible. I think that's that's the winner. 1560 01:13:25.960 --> 01:13:27.640 Right there. We need land In here to vari something 1561 01:13:29.199 --> 01:13:32.239 at Bentley Hunt fifteen with a fun hypothetical question. Here 1562 01:13:32.640 --> 01:13:35.840 if West Virginia we might remember in the twenty eighteen 1563 01:13:35.920 --> 01:13:39.840 Sweet sixteen, West Virginia was close to knocking off Villanova. 1564 01:13:40.439 --> 01:13:43.800 They did not do it. If they do in that scenario, 1565 01:13:43.960 --> 01:13:47.600 does Kansas win the national title? Oh boy, what a 1566 01:13:48.199 --> 01:13:51.880 scenario that is. So who did Villanova beat in the 1567 01:13:51.880 --> 01:13:54.359 Elite eight that year? Who would it have been West 1568 01:13:54.439 --> 01:13:57.680 Virginia against? It was Texas? Was that the Texas Tech year? 1569 01:13:57.960 --> 01:14:01.199 The Texas Tech ye the other day? Okay, so it 1570 01:14:01.199 --> 01:14:02.920 would have been West Virginia that was. It would have 1571 01:14:02.920 --> 01:14:04.760 been West Virginia and Texas Tech and the Elite Eight, 1572 01:14:05.000 --> 01:14:07.880 two teams that Kansas had beaten that year, So you 1573 01:14:07.920 --> 01:14:09.880 would have been looking at a Final four rematch or 1574 01:14:09.920 --> 01:14:12.079 a Big twelve rematch in the final four. And you 1575 01:14:12.159 --> 01:14:14.439 gotta think Kansas as good of a chance as any 1576 01:14:14.479 --> 01:14:17.359 And I think whoever gets there is beating that lousy 1577 01:14:17.439 --> 01:14:20.000 path Merchant Michigan team. 1578 01:14:20.359 --> 01:14:21.920 Yeah, but you know what, I think you're right. I 1579 01:14:21.920 --> 01:14:23.560 think Kansas probably does. 1580 01:14:24.720 --> 01:14:26.800 I think that they have a good chance. I'm not 1581 01:14:26.800 --> 01:14:30.359 willing to say they do because there's a chance, right, Yes, 1582 01:14:30.439 --> 01:14:32.520 I think they're the best bet on that side of 1583 01:14:32.520 --> 01:14:36.119 the bracket for sure. At Bob Rockschalk, Is anyone else 1584 01:14:36.199 --> 01:14:39.720 losing interest in this sport when teams are new every year. 1585 01:14:39.920 --> 01:14:41.760 The other night, there was a moment when all five 1586 01:14:41.800 --> 01:14:43.920 guys on the floor weren't on the team last year, 1587 01:14:44.239 --> 01:14:45.920 and there's going to be a moment next year where 1588 01:14:45.920 --> 01:14:48.399 there will only be one, if any guys on the 1589 01:14:48.439 --> 01:14:51.640 floor that were here this year. Okay, So that's a 1590 01:14:51.880 --> 01:14:54.840 point that I've seen. I've seen a lot of people 1591 01:14:54.920 --> 01:14:57.840 on message boards complain about that. It doesn't really hit 1592 01:14:57.920 --> 01:15:00.840 me as much because I'm used to, you know, like 1593 01:15:00.960 --> 01:15:04.039 Major League baseball. College football is turned into this like 1594 01:15:04.239 --> 01:15:06.680 there's a lot of turnover, but I can definitely, Like, 1595 01:15:06.920 --> 01:15:08.800 I go to the games with my eighty one year 1596 01:15:08.840 --> 01:15:11.479 old grandma who has been a season ticket holder for 1597 01:15:11.479 --> 01:15:14.479 forty years, and she complains about that. She she is 1598 01:15:14.520 --> 01:15:16.960 awesome and there's no one that knows more about Kansas 1599 01:15:16.960 --> 01:15:19.199 basketball than her. But she says that all the time. 1600 01:15:19.239 --> 01:15:21.359 She said, this is hard to follow. It takes me 1601 01:15:21.439 --> 01:15:23.920 five games every year to learn everybody's numbers and names 1602 01:15:23.960 --> 01:15:26.199 because it's so different every year. It's not the same. 1603 01:15:26.399 --> 01:15:28.680 And she's right, and the product might not be as good. 1604 01:15:28.840 --> 01:15:31.640 The eye test says, yeah, the quality is not as good. 1605 01:15:31.920 --> 01:15:34.000 Yeah, I agree, it's not the same. I miss having 1606 01:15:34.119 --> 01:15:36.119 four of your players in programs. 1607 01:15:36.680 --> 01:15:39.600 At Jayhawk Junkies. How many beers did Bobby Huggins drink 1608 01:15:39.600 --> 01:15:42.760 after Kenyon Martin broke his leg? Boy, I forgot about that. 1609 01:15:43.720 --> 01:15:46.800 Hold on, while you answer this hypothetical, I'm gonna look 1610 01:15:46.840 --> 01:15:48.119 something up on Bob Huggins. 1611 01:15:48.920 --> 01:15:53.119 Oh no, well, Bob Huggins, Like, so the Kenyon Martin thing, 1612 01:15:53.640 --> 01:15:55.359 way way way way back? 1613 01:15:55.399 --> 01:15:56.359 What went was that? 1614 01:15:56.359 --> 01:15:59.640 That was in two thousand? I think he was Bob 1615 01:15:59.760 --> 01:16:03.239 Huggin was still at Cincinnati at that point. Yeah, before 1616 01:16:03.920 --> 01:16:04.880 multiple DUIs. 1617 01:16:05.319 --> 01:16:06.800 What I was trying to find out is how many 1618 01:16:06.800 --> 01:16:09.560 beer cans he had in his car when he was arrested. Uh, 1619 01:16:09.600 --> 01:16:13.600 but he had a point to one percent BAC when 1620 01:16:13.600 --> 01:16:16.560 he was arrested. Uh, he had beer cans in the 1621 01:16:16.680 --> 01:16:20.840 trunk and he couldn't operate. He had problems like getting 1622 01:16:20.920 --> 01:16:24.279 the car to stop. So by my calculations, he probably 1623 01:16:24.319 --> 01:16:26.880 would consume about twenty five beers. 1624 01:16:27.479 --> 01:16:29.680 And a point to one for Bob Huggins is the 1625 01:16:29.720 --> 01:16:32.920 equivalent of cam Andite having like a point Yeah, because 1626 01:16:33.159 --> 01:16:35.479 because Bob Huggins takes a lot of beers. So you 1627 01:16:35.479 --> 01:16:36.960 get a man that size to a point. 1628 01:16:36.840 --> 01:16:39.520 He's large and he drinks a lot or he used to. 1629 01:16:39.720 --> 01:16:44.439 Yes, doesn't seem like a lightweight by any stretch. AJ Stevenson. 1630 01:16:44.840 --> 01:16:47.199 Is Bill self going to let kJ give a speech 1631 01:16:47.199 --> 01:16:48.920 on Senior Night? Or is he going to hold on 1632 01:16:49.000 --> 01:16:51.479 to him like hundred Dickinson did to that jump ball. 1633 01:16:51.520 --> 01:16:53.680 That's pretty funny. That's really funny. 1634 01:16:53.720 --> 01:16:57.119 Actually, I don't have anything that one. 1635 01:16:57.359 --> 01:16:59.359 I'll at that one. That's pretty funny. He's gonna give 1636 01:16:59.399 --> 01:17:02.119 him a well, he's gonna give them a game ball. 1637 01:17:02.159 --> 01:17:06.359 That just says, you know, this is you mad? Yeah? 1638 01:17:06.560 --> 01:17:10.479 Oh yeah that too. At Aoz Burner says the fog 1639 01:17:10.600 --> 01:17:13.159 hasn't had the same magic as the years past. Are 1640 01:17:13.199 --> 01:17:16.560 you blaming the video boards Wi Fi inclusion of air conditioning? 1641 01:17:16.760 --> 01:17:19.439 He says, I'm blaming the ace. That's that's fair. That 1642 01:17:19.479 --> 01:17:21.960 seems reasonable it do you. 1643 01:17:22.039 --> 01:17:24.279 I kind of think it's just the they took away 1644 01:17:24.319 --> 01:17:27.920 some seats and I don't know it. The video board 1645 01:17:28.000 --> 01:17:30.720 I don't love, I don't know's. It's just they they 1646 01:17:30.920 --> 01:17:33.399 might have ruined a little bit of it in my opinion. 1647 01:17:34.279 --> 01:17:37.000 So one thing that is undeniably true, and I see 1648 01:17:37.000 --> 01:17:39.199 people bitch about this all the time, and the right 1649 01:17:39.760 --> 01:17:41.880 is people are on their phones a lot during games. 1650 01:17:42.079 --> 01:17:45.640 They show the crowd and people in this student section 1651 01:17:45.960 --> 01:17:50.159 are filming games or making snapchats or tiktoks or whatever. Well, 1652 01:17:50.199 --> 01:17:53.000 those of us who didn't delete the app, uh, that 1653 01:17:53.000 --> 01:17:56.119 that is that is definitely a thing in in in fans. 1654 01:17:56.159 --> 01:17:58.399 It's always happening everywhere. It's not just the Kansas games 1655 01:17:58.399 --> 01:18:01.159 at all sports, it's all venues. I don't think it's 1656 01:18:01.159 --> 01:18:04.279 particularly fair for people to get on Twitter and say 1657 01:18:04.720 --> 01:18:07.000 people should not be on their phones. The WiFi is 1658 01:18:07.039 --> 01:18:09.399 a distraction all that, because you know what you can't 1659 01:18:09.399 --> 01:18:11.359 bout you buy a ticket, you're sitting there. You can 1660 01:18:11.359 --> 01:18:12.680 know whoever you want for all. I don't like when 1661 01:18:13.119 --> 01:18:15.279 fans tell other fans how to be fans if they 1662 01:18:15.399 --> 01:18:18.119 paid for the ticket, don't act like that that you're 1663 01:18:18.159 --> 01:18:21.760 above them in terms of fandom. But I do kind 1664 01:18:21.760 --> 01:18:24.840 of understand the building's a little quieter. I don't think 1665 01:18:24.880 --> 01:18:27.359 you can necessarily blame the losses because those were just 1666 01:18:27.399 --> 01:18:31.960 two wonky ass losses that happens regardless, like and also, 1667 01:18:32.079 --> 01:18:35.760 I think the big answer here is Kansas's run when 1668 01:18:35.840 --> 01:18:38.000 Alan field House was at its peak, and Kansas literally 1669 01:18:38.000 --> 01:18:40.319 would go like two years out of time between losses. 1670 01:18:41.039 --> 01:18:45.600 That's not sustainable. That is just an all time insane 1671 01:18:45.680 --> 01:18:48.000 run where Bill self lost nine home games in his 1672 01:18:48.039 --> 01:18:52.520 first eleven years. That's not happening anywhere, regardless of Wi 1673 01:18:52.560 --> 01:18:54.199 Fi or air conditioning or whatever. 1674 01:18:54.680 --> 01:18:57.000 Yeah, that's probably never gonna happen again, honestly. 1675 01:18:57.720 --> 01:19:00.239 And Allen field House is still the best home court 1676 01:19:00.239 --> 01:19:02.439 advantage in the country. That's just kind of the way 1677 01:19:02.479 --> 01:19:05.680 that that gen Z is now with this, Like that's 1678 01:19:05.720 --> 01:19:08.560 the way it is I'm twenty nine. I'm not I'm 1679 01:19:08.640 --> 01:19:11.920 barely a millennial. But like so, I'm starting to watch 1680 01:19:12.000 --> 01:19:15.279 younger generations that. Yes, whenever I would go to Kansas 1681 01:19:15.279 --> 01:19:17.840 games fifteen years ago, people were on their phones. 1682 01:19:18.880 --> 01:19:21.680 Yeah, so I don't know. 1683 01:19:21.760 --> 01:19:23.600 I don't know exactly what the answer is, but I 1684 01:19:23.600 --> 01:19:26.000 don't think it's going away. You can't make people not 1685 01:19:26.079 --> 01:19:26.840 be on their phones. 1686 01:19:27.960 --> 01:19:29.159 Yeah, I agree. 1687 01:19:30.399 --> 01:19:32.640 At Elliott, Russ and h How good of a team 1688 01:19:32.960 --> 01:19:37.520 is KU's transfer outs as eg the best version of players, 1689 01:19:38.119 --> 01:19:41.760 it's Charlie Moore, Bryce Thompson, Tyan Grant Foster, Zubi Edgefoor, 1690 01:19:41.840 --> 01:19:47.399 and Ernest Ouday. That's if that's the transfer out team, 1691 01:19:47.760 --> 01:19:49.920 that's not a tournament team. I don't think maybe Tyon 1692 01:19:50.000 --> 01:19:52.920 Grant Foster carries them there. Bryce Thompson's been in school 1693 01:19:52.960 --> 01:19:54.399 as long as Hunter Dickinson has. 1694 01:19:55.640 --> 01:19:59.960 Yeah, that's probably that's probably an n team. Actually he had. 1695 01:20:00.079 --> 01:20:02.840 Elliott does add that he should have added Quentin Grimes. Yes, 1696 01:20:02.920 --> 01:20:05.359 Quentin Grimes at Houston was an All American player. He 1697 01:20:05.439 --> 01:20:08.680 was very good. I think that if you're looking at 1698 01:20:08.680 --> 01:20:12.319 the transfer OUs TGF for sure, Quentin Grimes for sure. 1699 01:20:12.600 --> 01:20:15.000 Bryce Thompson's had the longevity enough you need a big 1700 01:20:15.039 --> 01:20:16.960 so throw Zoobie in there. And I guess sure, throw 1701 01:20:17.079 --> 01:20:20.680 Ernest in there. Yeah, I'm not a lot of teams 1702 01:20:20.680 --> 01:20:24.520 have had really pivotal pieces transfer out. I'm not looking 1703 01:20:24.560 --> 01:20:26.600 at any of those guys and thinking, man, they blew 1704 01:20:26.640 --> 01:20:28.239 it letting that guy walk out the door. 1705 01:20:29.239 --> 01:20:32.079 Yeah it's not I don't know. That's an interesting thought, 1706 01:20:32.119 --> 01:20:33.760 but no, they wouldn't be that good. 1707 01:20:34.359 --> 01:20:36.800 And then the last question here at Dick underscore taser, 1708 01:20:37.119 --> 01:20:41.000 Why are k you fans so miserable? Everyone is hate watching? 1709 01:20:41.279 --> 01:20:44.199 Makes me sad. Everyone is witching hunt at Dwan and 1710 01:20:44.279 --> 01:20:46.359 kJ are off the team saying I can't wait for 1711 01:20:46.399 --> 01:20:49.399 next year. Adds basketball is supposed to be fun. It's 1712 01:20:49.479 --> 01:20:52.399 just the game, folks, that that is what we need 1713 01:20:52.439 --> 01:20:54.960 more of Wayne Hurry. And it's worth pointing out that 1714 01:20:55.039 --> 01:20:57.600 the same people bitching about all that stuff, the Jayhawks 1715 01:20:57.600 --> 01:20:59.960 are still the ninth best team in college basketball Accord 1716 01:21:00.039 --> 01:21:02.520 and Ken Pond, this is this is the team you're 1717 01:21:02.520 --> 01:21:04.720 complaining about. They're still really damn good. 1718 01:21:05.399 --> 01:21:07.319 They're a lot better than last year too. I mean 1719 01:21:07.720 --> 01:21:09.680 early in the year we were wondering that it's a 1720 01:21:09.760 --> 01:21:12.079 lot better than the last year. No, they're they're fine. 1721 01:21:12.840 --> 01:21:16.039 If at if at some point you find yourself less 1722 01:21:16.119 --> 01:21:20.199 happy with anything regarding sports, it is fair to question 1723 01:21:20.279 --> 01:21:23.520 if sports are best at your current level of rooting interest. 1724 01:21:23.760 --> 01:21:26.239 You should not spend more time being unhappy with Kansas 1725 01:21:26.319 --> 01:21:28.600 than you spend with them for being happy with them, 1726 01:21:28.680 --> 01:21:29.920 especially when they're this good. 1727 01:21:30.079 --> 01:21:32.920 Like, dude, if if it if it's that bad, like 1728 01:21:33.079 --> 01:21:35.079 do the Chris Beard route, like take it out on 1729 01:21:35.119 --> 01:21:36.279 some domestic violence. 1730 01:21:38.319 --> 01:21:40.840 Oh wow, well, okay, I don't do that. 1731 01:21:40.960 --> 01:21:42.680 Those thoughts are not endorsed by any of us on 1732 01:21:42.720 --> 01:21:46.079 inside of paint, including Cam who is possibly seeking employment 1733 01:21:46.079 --> 01:21:49.199 at some point, so that that is not the real statement. However, 1734 01:21:49.760 --> 01:21:50.199 this is sact. 1735 01:21:50.239 --> 01:21:54.239 They're not looking for employment. You have inside the paint, inside. 1736 01:21:53.920 --> 01:21:55.560 The paint will always be here for you. 1737 01:21:56.079 --> 01:21:59.880 And then final, just an observation here at show me 1738 01:22:00.199 --> 01:22:03.039 says I've been doing some sleuthing on BARTRVIC and Kansas 1739 01:22:03.119 --> 01:22:06.159 is currently ranked twelve. Here is Kansas's ranks on January 1740 01:22:06.159 --> 01:22:08.640 thirtieth of previous years. Last year they were also twelve. 1741 01:22:08.960 --> 01:22:11.760 The year before that, they were also twelve the year 1742 01:22:11.800 --> 01:22:14.600 before that. Their natty year, they were tenth twenty twenty 1743 01:22:14.600 --> 01:22:16.279 one the outlier here they were forty ninth, and then 1744 01:22:16.319 --> 01:22:18.279 you go first and twenty the team that didn't get 1745 01:22:18.279 --> 01:22:19.680 a chance to play in the tournament. And then in 1746 01:22:19.760 --> 01:22:22.399 nineteen they were eighteenth, and then their final fourteen they 1747 01:22:22.399 --> 01:22:24.359 were fifth. So they're right about what they have been 1748 01:22:24.399 --> 01:22:26.159 in the last few years. And I think that's a 1749 01:22:26.159 --> 01:22:29.479 really good observation. The last four years on January thirtieth, 1750 01:22:29.600 --> 01:22:32.119 Kansas has been between ten and twelve. What do you 1751 01:22:32.119 --> 01:22:33.039 got a Natty. 1752 01:22:32.760 --> 01:22:33.199 Year in there? 1753 01:22:33.239 --> 01:22:34.680 You got a one seed in there, you have a 1754 01:22:34.720 --> 01:22:36.279 year where the floor fell out, you didn't make the 1755 01:22:36.279 --> 01:22:38.199 second weekend, and you have a year that could be 1756 01:22:38.239 --> 01:22:38.840 any of those. 1757 01:22:39.520 --> 01:22:41.520 Yeah, they'll be fine. It just feels different because it's 1758 01:22:41.520 --> 01:22:43.520 a different style of basketball and they're losing some games 1759 01:22:43.560 --> 01:22:44.640 that didn't lose in the past. 1760 01:22:44.880 --> 01:22:47.640 That's all it is. It just goes to show that 1761 01:22:47.720 --> 01:22:50.640 you could be about the twelfth best team in the 1762 01:22:50.680 --> 01:22:53.880 country on January thirtieth and have your season end with 1763 01:22:53.960 --> 01:22:57.000 confetti and net cutting, or it could end with a 1764 01:22:57.199 --> 01:23:02.760 really disappointing second round loss. Yep, sure can whatever dam 1765 01:23:03.399 --> 01:23:05.439 is your coach, right? That is sports. If you ever 1766 01:23:05.520 --> 01:23:08.960 have askedcarcbs use the Twitter hashtag ask ARCB appreciate that 1767 01:23:09.039 --> 01:23:11.039 round of questions that was like an All star round 1768 01:23:11.039 --> 01:23:13.960 where everybody that was asking those I recognize names and 1769 01:23:14.000 --> 01:23:17.000 appreciate all of you guys' listens and questions. 1770 01:23:17.880 --> 01:23:18.880 Yep bee. 1771 01:23:19.520 --> 01:23:21.720 All right, let's preview a game. We go to Mark 1772 01:23:21.760 --> 01:23:24.880 and Paula Hurd court to Dix that should never have 1773 01:23:24.880 --> 01:23:26.359 their name on that damn court. I don't care how 1774 01:23:26.439 --> 01:23:29.199 much they donated. And I can say more profane things 1775 01:23:29.239 --> 01:23:32.640 on this episode because Landon isn't here, So take that. 1776 01:23:35.640 --> 01:23:36.640 Am I supposed to run with this? 1777 01:23:38.000 --> 01:23:42.479 If you want? Number eleven Kansas unranked Baylor on the 1778 01:23:42.520 --> 01:23:45.239 first day of February. It is a Saturday, three o'clock 1779 01:23:45.279 --> 01:23:47.680 on ESPN Plus. Now I'm just kidding. It's on TV. 1780 01:23:48.359 --> 01:23:51.479 Thank goodness. Scot Drews Baylor Bears. They are disappointing thirteen 1781 01:23:51.520 --> 01:23:54.279 and seven. I'm the season through twenty games. They're nine 1782 01:23:54.279 --> 01:23:56.039 and one at home, but the best win of those 1783 01:23:56.119 --> 01:23:58.520 nine at Cincinnati should not count. They're just two and 1784 01:23:58.560 --> 01:24:01.119 four against ranked teams. Ten Palm has him as the 1785 01:24:01.199 --> 01:24:04.079 twenty six best team in the country that is excellent 1786 01:24:04.119 --> 01:24:07.159 on the offense and a sub seventy sub top seventy 1787 01:24:07.199 --> 01:24:09.680 five team on the defensive end. 1788 01:24:09.720 --> 01:24:12.199 Which normally Baylor's the other way around. Normally they are 1789 01:24:12.239 --> 01:24:15.359 defense first, and they're just not this year. Two freshmen 1790 01:24:15.479 --> 01:24:17.920 run the show in Waco, with the headliner being lottery 1791 01:24:17.960 --> 01:24:21.079 pick lock vj Edgecombe, a six ' five, do it 1792 01:24:21.119 --> 01:24:24.119 all wing that averages fifteen points, five rebounds, three rebounds 1793 01:24:24.199 --> 01:24:28.159 or three assists and two steals per game. He is 1794 01:24:28.199 --> 01:24:32.079 the athletics specimen here and Hawk Talk earlier Norman Roberts 1795 01:24:32.119 --> 01:24:34.439 compared his athleticism to something you only see in an 1796 01:24:34.479 --> 01:24:37.960 Andrew Wiggins caliber player. He is a freak thirty nine 1797 01:24:37.960 --> 01:24:40.399 percent three point shooter, very good at the free throw line, 1798 01:24:40.399 --> 01:24:42.840 and arguably the most athletic player in the conference. He 1799 01:24:42.920 --> 01:24:45.720 has fed good looks by two point guards. Baylor has 1800 01:24:45.760 --> 01:24:49.279 freshman Robert Wright the third, who is your athletic do 1801 01:24:49.399 --> 01:24:52.079 everything drive to the cup thirteen points, five assists and 1802 01:24:52.119 --> 01:24:54.399 a thirty six percent shooting mark. And then there's duke 1803 01:24:54.399 --> 01:24:57.239 transfer Jeremy Roach, expected back from this game, who has 1804 01:24:57.239 --> 01:25:00.399 been solid but unspectacular this year by averaging twelve and 1805 01:25:00.520 --> 01:25:03.840 a mediocre three point mark. Jada Nunn is also here 1806 01:25:03.880 --> 01:25:06.359 to serve as the team's best three point shooter. He 1807 01:25:06.439 --> 01:25:08.359 makes forty four percent of his threes. 1808 01:25:09.800 --> 01:25:12.720 The front court stars six foot seven power forward nor 1809 01:25:12.840 --> 01:25:15.960 Chad Omier who Ohmia, I guess who leads a team 1810 01:25:16.000 --> 01:25:18.000 with fifteen points and ten rebounds per game. He's a 1811 01:25:18.079 --> 01:25:19.960 hybrid four man that could play anywhere, but he only 1812 01:25:20.000 --> 01:25:22.439 shoots thirty one percent from deep. Cue the music. The 1813 01:25:22.439 --> 01:25:26.439 Bears do have six foot ten inch josh Ojinawa. I 1814 01:25:26.439 --> 01:25:29.479 don't know. I think that's butchered as a five man. 1815 01:25:29.560 --> 01:25:31.920 They win. They want to play big, and he adds 1816 01:25:31.960 --> 01:25:34.560 seven to seven while shooting almost eighty percent from the floor. 1817 01:25:34.680 --> 01:25:37.279 He's very matchup dependent. He's also prone to foul trouble 1818 01:25:37.279 --> 01:25:38.199 when he plays a lot. 1819 01:25:39.640 --> 01:25:42.279 So I've been doing. I always put together kind of 1820 01:25:42.279 --> 01:25:45.640 my analysis on what I notice, and I combine that 1821 01:25:45.680 --> 01:25:47.640 with stats. I've watched Baylor quite a bit this year, 1822 01:25:47.640 --> 01:25:49.359 and I really can't get a feel for this team. 1823 01:25:49.479 --> 01:25:52.159 There's a lot of talent on this roster. Edgecomb is 1824 01:25:52.159 --> 01:25:55.560 the best player from an NBA ceiling in the entire conference. 1825 01:25:55.720 --> 01:25:58.199 They have two good point guards that none of those 1826 01:25:58.239 --> 01:26:00.800 three are even their leading scorers. That that's their starting 1827 01:26:00.840 --> 01:26:04.199 center who averages fifteen to ten and yet Baylor still 1828 01:26:04.319 --> 01:26:07.720 has a pretty middling record. The raw stats match exactly 1829 01:26:07.720 --> 01:26:10.880 what Ken Palm says. Baylor is great on offense. They 1830 01:26:10.880 --> 01:26:13.439 have no shortage of defensive problems. At the same time, 1831 01:26:14.000 --> 01:26:15.720 I'll start with the pros. They are an excellent three 1832 01:26:15.720 --> 01:26:18.319 point shooting team at thirty seven percent. They're a good 1833 01:26:18.359 --> 01:26:20.239 passing team. They take good care of the ball. They 1834 01:26:20.239 --> 01:26:22.520 played a fast pace, which you would expect with such 1835 01:26:22.520 --> 01:26:26.199 an athletic and fast team. They also are elite on 1836 01:26:26.239 --> 01:26:29.319 the offensive glass. That is Scott Drew one oh one. 1837 01:26:29.479 --> 01:26:32.279 That is what they've always done. Jamie Dixon teams force turnovers. 1838 01:26:32.279 --> 01:26:35.039 Bill Selth teams feed the paint. Scott Drew teams rebound 1839 01:26:35.119 --> 01:26:38.520 on the offensive glass. Defensively, though, this is an abysmal 1840 01:26:38.560 --> 01:26:40.960 team when it comes to rebounding the ball. Teams have 1841 01:26:41.039 --> 01:26:43.199 lit them up from three point range this year. There's 1842 01:26:43.199 --> 01:26:46.199 a debate does three point defense actually serve as a thing. Well, 1843 01:26:46.239 --> 01:26:49.239 if it does, Baylor's horrendous at it. They foul a lot. 1844 01:26:49.399 --> 01:26:51.279 They don't have a very deep bench to help them 1845 01:26:51.319 --> 01:26:53.119 when that happens. That's more of their problem. They have 1846 01:26:53.159 --> 01:26:55.119 a good starting five, but they get into foul trouble 1847 01:26:55.159 --> 01:26:57.079 a lot, and the bench isn't deep enough to keep 1848 01:26:57.119 --> 01:26:59.680 them alive. They also struggle getting to the free throw 1849 01:26:59.720 --> 01:27:02.039 line and they're one of the worst two point shooting 1850 01:27:02.039 --> 01:27:05.920 squads in the conference. Weird team. Good on offense, not 1851 01:27:06.039 --> 01:27:09.159 so good on defense. Should be an interesting matchup for Kansas, 1852 01:27:09.279 --> 01:27:11.520 who's very good on defense and has shut down some 1853 01:27:11.560 --> 01:27:14.000 great offenses, but has struggled to get going on the 1854 01:27:14.000 --> 01:27:16.720 offensive end even against more middle of the pack caliber 1855 01:27:16.800 --> 01:27:17.680 defensive units. 1856 01:27:20.479 --> 01:27:23.439 Yeah, and Kansas has lost four straight games at Waco, 1857 01:27:23.560 --> 01:27:25.640 with their last win coming right before COVID shut the 1858 01:27:25.640 --> 01:27:28.119 world down and the season down to February of twenty twenty. 1859 01:27:28.119 --> 01:27:31.760 Behind Marcus Garrett and Udoka Azimpoopi's lob fast all time, 1860 01:27:31.840 --> 01:27:34.199 Kansas is eleven and six in Waco. They won twenty 1861 01:27:34.279 --> 01:27:36.239 nine of the first thirty three games against the Bears, 1862 01:27:36.279 --> 01:27:39.159 but they are currently just eight and six against him 1863 01:27:39.199 --> 01:27:41.079 in the last seven years. And also, Ryan wrote a 1864 01:27:41.119 --> 01:27:42.479 quote that I cannot read. 1865 01:27:43.479 --> 01:27:46.000 I didn't write that quote. Jesus said that Jesus didn't 1866 01:27:46.039 --> 01:27:49.239 like Baylor. Okay, you guys didn't know that. And Jesus 1867 01:27:49.279 --> 01:27:52.479 in the year three actually said some really explicit things 1868 01:27:52.520 --> 01:27:55.760 about Baylor. He came right out of the womb. He said, 1869 01:27:55.920 --> 01:27:59.920 he definitely allegedly he said, if the censor works here, 1870 01:28:00.520 --> 01:28:04.239 Baylor there, that's what he said. I couldn't believe it. 1871 01:28:04.279 --> 01:28:05.960 I did my homework on this. It says it in 1872 01:28:06.000 --> 01:28:07.640 the I don't know what version of the Bible you 1873 01:28:07.640 --> 01:28:09.680 were reading ten minutes ago, camb but my version it 1874 01:28:09.680 --> 01:28:13.520 says that clear as day in the red letter. That's 1875 01:28:13.840 --> 01:28:14.720 a what a version? 1876 01:28:14.760 --> 01:28:15.119 That is? 1877 01:28:15.720 --> 01:28:18.239 Great's that about Kansas just being eight and six against 1878 01:28:18.239 --> 01:28:20.239 Baylor the last seven years, We're going on almost a 1879 01:28:20.239 --> 01:28:23.199 decade of these teams essentially playing even they both wanted 1880 01:28:23.239 --> 01:28:25.960 each other's buildings, they both primarily defended home court, and 1881 01:28:26.000 --> 01:28:28.560 they've rarely played neutral site matchups. When they do, those 1882 01:28:28.560 --> 01:28:32.600 are always a split, good rivalry. What happens in this game. 1883 01:28:33.880 --> 01:28:36.119 I'm actually gonna take Kansas to win. I'm gonna say 1884 01:28:36.199 --> 01:28:40.159 Kansas wins a gross game, seventy two to sixty eight, 1885 01:28:41.039 --> 01:28:43.279 and uh yeah, a good road win. 1886 01:28:44.720 --> 01:28:47.079 I think the key in this game for Kansas is 1887 01:28:47.199 --> 01:28:51.119 making threes. Baylor's offense is really good, but I have 1888 01:28:51.279 --> 01:28:55.359 enough confidence in Kansas's defense to not allow them to 1889 01:28:55.439 --> 01:28:58.840 go ballistic. I think if Kansas's offense plays their game 1890 01:28:58.960 --> 01:29:01.760 against the Baylor defen that's been unimpressive this year, the 1891 01:29:01.840 --> 01:29:05.000 Jayhawks should have every opportunity they need to win. But 1892 01:29:05.079 --> 01:29:08.159 I'm looking at this from Baylor's perspective. The Bears are 1893 01:29:08.159 --> 01:29:11.800 not usually a team we see desperately needing NCAA caliber 1894 01:29:11.840 --> 01:29:14.199 wins this late in the season, but here they are. 1895 01:29:14.560 --> 01:29:16.960 Baylor has struggled in Big Twelve play compared to their 1896 01:29:17.000 --> 01:29:19.960 expectations before the year and what they typically do. I 1897 01:29:20.079 --> 01:29:22.079 might be wrong on this, and this team just might 1898 01:29:22.119 --> 01:29:24.359 not be very good, but I have to think that 1899 01:29:24.399 --> 01:29:26.399 a coach as good as Scott Drew with a player 1900 01:29:26.439 --> 01:29:29.000 as good as Edgecomb is gonna look at this matchup 1901 01:29:29.000 --> 01:29:31.600 and think this is our chance to take down a 1902 01:29:32.279 --> 01:29:35.560 headliner program and lock our NCAA ticket. They're a ten 1903 01:29:35.600 --> 01:29:39.920 seed and Joe Lonardi's projections right now, they need quality wins. Ultimately, 1904 01:29:39.960 --> 01:29:42.479 I think they get it. I think this game is close. 1905 01:29:42.760 --> 01:29:45.520 I think Baylor makes enough plays down the stretch to 1906 01:29:45.680 --> 01:29:49.000 hold on seventy four to seventy one in a game 1907 01:29:49.079 --> 01:29:51.479 that leads us all feeling like we still haven't seen 1908 01:29:51.560 --> 01:29:54.600 Kansas win the big game. The big matchup, but it 1909 01:29:54.640 --> 01:29:58.159 also doesn't leave us feeling totally discouraged either. I do 1910 01:29:58.199 --> 01:30:00.640 think Kansas will win their next two games after this, 1911 01:30:00.960 --> 01:30:03.479 but this one they haven't always played down there. This 1912 01:30:03.720 --> 01:30:06.359 is a place where they always lose. And while it's 1913 01:30:06.359 --> 01:30:09.159 not a bad matchup, I just think Baylor is well 1914 01:30:09.199 --> 01:30:12.720 coached and enough talent on that roster where they're ultimately 1915 01:30:12.760 --> 01:30:15.119 gonna get one of these quality teams. I think it 1916 01:30:15.199 --> 01:30:18.600 happens here, and I hope I'm wrong. Other games in 1917 01:30:18.680 --> 01:30:22.520 the Big twelve Sun Devil State showdown Arizona at Arizona State. 1918 01:30:22.600 --> 01:30:27.319 Give me the Sun Devils rivalry team against a squad 1919 01:30:27.359 --> 01:30:30.399 coming off a stunning win. I think forks up. 1920 01:30:31.680 --> 01:30:32.479 Give me Arizona. 1921 01:30:33.880 --> 01:30:36.319 Kansas State at number three, Iowa State. I don't think 1922 01:30:36.319 --> 01:30:37.920 we're really struggling to pick this one. 1923 01:30:38.640 --> 01:30:38.960 Nope. 1924 01:30:39.039 --> 01:30:43.680 Iowa State clones by seriously like thirty. It's gonna be 1925 01:30:43.760 --> 01:30:48.039 really really it's gonna be really gross. Utah at Oklahoma State. 1926 01:30:48.119 --> 01:30:50.000 That's also gonna be gross, but in a different way. 1927 01:30:50.039 --> 01:30:52.279 I guess we want the Pokes at home, or do. 1928 01:30:52.279 --> 01:30:56.520 We man, I don't know, I don't know. I sure 1929 01:30:56.640 --> 01:30:57.119 give me the. 1930 01:30:57.079 --> 01:31:02.239 Pokes BYU at Central Florida. I will go with UCF 1931 01:31:02.279 --> 01:31:04.239 at home. I think they're a little better than people think. 1932 01:31:05.039 --> 01:31:06.600 I will also take the Knights. 1933 01:31:07.520 --> 01:31:10.319 Number twenty two, Texas Tech at number six Houston. Big 1934 01:31:10.359 --> 01:31:13.039 opportunity for the Red Raiders to prove themselves as legit, 1935 01:31:13.119 --> 01:31:16.239 but I don't think they take down the Koops. Same 1936 01:31:17.840 --> 01:31:22.479 West Virginia at Cincinnati. Give me I lose so much 1937 01:31:22.760 --> 01:31:28.039 pick them. I'm ground with freaking Cincinnati, but I think 1938 01:31:28.039 --> 01:31:29.000 I'm gonna do it again. 1939 01:31:30.560 --> 01:31:33.159 I kind of think they finally win one here. They 1940 01:31:33.199 --> 01:31:33.920 have to right. 1941 01:31:35.000 --> 01:31:37.840 Colorado at TCU, not picking them TCU. 1942 01:31:38.600 --> 01:31:41.279 Yeah, at TCU and then other games. 1943 01:31:41.319 --> 01:31:42.840 We have a lot of good games this week, a 1944 01:31:42.880 --> 01:31:46.319 lot of rivalries around the sport. Number five Florida at 1945 01:31:46.399 --> 01:31:49.399 number eight Tennessee. Do the balls bounce back? I say yes, 1946 01:31:49.479 --> 01:31:50.640 but it's gross. 1947 01:31:51.159 --> 01:31:52.920 I think it's Yeah. I think they do win. It's 1948 01:31:52.960 --> 01:31:54.760 gonna be like fifty eight to fifty four. 1949 01:31:55.640 --> 01:31:59.119 Yep, that sounds exactly right. Number twenty Mazoo at number 1950 01:31:59.159 --> 01:32:01.520 fourteen mississip State. How legit of the Tigers? 1951 01:32:02.399 --> 01:32:04.119 Not give me Mississippi State. 1952 01:32:05.199 --> 01:32:07.279 I agree, I think the Tigers are pretty good, but 1953 01:32:07.319 --> 01:32:10.239 I'm with you, going with going Mississippi State in this game. 1954 01:32:10.399 --> 01:32:12.800 Number one Auburn at number twenty three, Old miss You 1955 01:32:12.800 --> 01:32:15.720 know what, here's the spot. Give me Chris Beard at home, 1956 01:32:15.920 --> 01:32:17.399 big game, big opportunity. 1957 01:32:18.000 --> 01:32:20.840 I hate copying, but I'm gonna do it. I think Ole. 1958 01:32:20.720 --> 01:32:24.399 Missticks it interesting. Yeah, Auburn is like nineteen and one. Man, 1959 01:32:24.439 --> 01:32:26.479 they gotta lose eventually, all right, you can pick first 1960 01:32:26.479 --> 01:32:28.079 in the you can pick first and the rest of 1961 01:32:28.079 --> 01:32:30.920 these games. Then number twenty four Vanderbilt at Oklahoma. 1962 01:32:32.039 --> 01:32:34.119 Can't believe I'm saying this, but give me Porter Moser. 1963 01:32:35.199 --> 01:32:37.479 Nope, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, nope. I 1964 01:32:37.520 --> 01:32:40.680 will take Vanderbilt. You could put the fighting fark tured 1965 01:32:40.720 --> 01:32:43.279 toilet bowl cleaners at Porter Moser and I would pick 1966 01:32:43.399 --> 01:32:46.800 the former. Not doing that with Porter North Carolina at 1967 01:32:46.880 --> 01:32:49.560 number two, Duke, I'm tempted to pull the trigger on 1968 01:32:49.600 --> 01:32:51.600 you and see it seems like they always play pack 1969 01:32:51.680 --> 01:32:54.800 well in this building. They they always play pretty well 1970 01:32:54.840 --> 01:32:57.319 when they're when they're not really expected to do much. 1971 01:32:58.520 --> 01:33:00.319 They're just so bad. It's Duke. 1972 01:33:01.239 --> 01:33:03.920 Duke's gotta lose one eventually. But yeah, I'm with you. 1973 01:33:04.079 --> 01:33:06.680 That's yeah. Maybe if this game was in Chapel Hell, 1974 01:33:06.760 --> 01:33:09.520 you'd think otherwise. I agree number twenty five Yukon at 1975 01:33:09.600 --> 01:33:13.119 number nine Marquette probably a game that could buy and 1976 01:33:13.239 --> 01:33:16.119 large get Marquette to the cusp of winning that league. 1977 01:33:16.119 --> 01:33:17.880 I think they get it, but I don't really like 1978 01:33:17.920 --> 01:33:19.159 the coaching matchup here. 1979 01:33:19.920 --> 01:33:21.239 I don't like it at all either, but I do 1980 01:33:21.319 --> 01:33:22.399 think they're better than you can. 1981 01:33:23.640 --> 01:33:26.880 And then Arkansas at number twelve Kentucky. Are you giving 1982 01:33:27.000 --> 01:33:31.279 John Caliperi any chance to go into this team arena? No, no, 1983 01:33:32.159 --> 01:33:33.680 and steal the show. I'll tell you what I think 1984 01:33:33.720 --> 01:33:36.000 this is. I think this game is going to be 1985 01:33:36.039 --> 01:33:38.319 really close. I agree Kentucky wins, but I would pick 1986 01:33:38.399 --> 01:33:40.920 Arkansas to cover. I think that the Razorbacks are going 1987 01:33:41.000 --> 01:33:42.520 to look at this game and say, this is our 1988 01:33:42.560 --> 01:33:44.720 super Bowl. Let's win this one for our coach. I'll 1989 01:33:44.720 --> 01:33:45.560 win it for the Gipper. 1990 01:33:45.880 --> 01:33:47.560 It's going to be like an eight point spread. 1991 01:33:49.600 --> 01:33:51.119 Yeah, I would take Arkansas to cover. 1992 01:33:52.199 --> 01:33:54.840 Wow. Yeah, maybe I'll probably talk myself into it. 1993 01:33:56.119 --> 01:33:59.640 I'm whatever, Cambats, you can take that one to the bank. 1994 01:34:00.119 --> 01:34:02.760 I mean the bank, no doubt. 1995 01:34:02.920 --> 01:34:04.600 That's definitely never been before. 1996 01:34:05.720 --> 01:34:08.640 Hey, so we'll be back on Sunday night, which will 1997 01:34:08.680 --> 01:34:10.520 drop Monday. We have a short turnaround here for the 1998 01:34:10.600 --> 01:34:13.319 next episode because Iowa State comes to town on a Monday, 1999 01:34:13.960 --> 01:34:17.479 Big Monday. Bill self has never lost a Big Monday 2000 01:34:17.520 --> 01:34:22.000 home game. Hold on your hold on to all of 2001 01:34:22.000 --> 01:34:25.560 your bill. This is it TP on Rocktop Flog Cam. 2002 01:34:25.600 --> 01:34:26.760 You gotta go to bed. 2003 01:34:27.199 --> 01:34:28.920 Yeah, I'm about to go to bed. I'm Cam and 2004 01:34:28.920 --> 01:34:30.560 I'm taking sleeping aids. 2005 01:34:31.319 --> 01:34:33.680 You do that for Land and Fields. Yeah, Cam needs 2006 01:34:33.760 --> 01:34:36.279 to start taking Melatona during the ASCARCV segment. 2007 01:34:36.640 --> 01:34:38.600 I can't take Melotone. I trip balls on it. 2008 01:34:38.680 --> 01:34:44.439 Dude, Well seriously, I can't. I can't follow that up, 2009 01:34:44.439 --> 01:34:46.640 so I'll just say see you next time.
