I feel like 10 00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:46.119 that this really doesn't begin.

Life could not 23 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:24.319 get better or worse, you know what, It couldn't get worse. 24 00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:28.879 I'm in Chicago, I live in a closet. This is fine, 25 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:31.159 especially because. 26 00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:37.560 Soundboard issues. Oh no, there we go, especially because he's 27 00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:40.799 your coach, even though he has his head up his ass, 28 00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:43.480 and oh boy, are we here to talk about it, 29 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:46.840 because for the fifth freaking year in a row, Kansas 30 00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:48.719 goes down to Waco and loses two. 31 00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.280 And I believe he's father. 32 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.560 Now Kansas started seven to zero and they are eight 33 00:01:57.640 --> 00:01:59.879 and six. Since, oh boy, does that sound from the 34 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:04.560 year is that last year I hear? And potentially all 35 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:06.920 the other years that have gone wrong in the self era. 36 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:09.879 They start a bunch of games above five hundred and 37 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:13.280 then play very even once conference play starts. 38 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:17.599 And mostly Ryan, I've done some deep statistical analysis on 39 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:21.240 why that happens, and the conclusion I've come to is 40 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.520 that Kansas starts out by playing teams that suck and 41 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:26.400 finishes by playing teams that are good. 42 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.120 That's right, and that's they have lost six of their 43 00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:33.360 last fourteen games, and it gets worse if you take 44 00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:35.599 out the teams that sucked, like I think they get 45 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.479 a Brown win in there somewhere. I think they got 46 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:41.000 a Kansas State win in there at some point too. 47 00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:45.520 So you've heard of Oh god, even the wins were better. 48 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.560 So we're gonna talk about Kansas losing yet another improbable 49 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.439 choke job of a performance in Waco, and uh yeah 50 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:57.039 that for about well eighty percent of the game yesterday. 51 00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.319 We were very excited to do this podcast for a 52 00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.840 different reason, and then we saw how it ended, and 53 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.960 now we're very excited to do this show. As John Calla, 54 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.120 Perry's Arkansas headshot is just littered all over these notes, 55 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.199 because that's who Bill's self might be now in the 56 00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:12.560 Year of Our Lord twenty twenty five. This is inside 57 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.919 the paint On Rock Chalk Blog, Curb Your Enthusiasm Edition. 58 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.400 I'm Ryan Landreth, I'm Landon Fields, and. 59 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.000 I'm a sad sad cam Landon. 60 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.639 You missed the last show because you were painting. You 61 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:26.800 were helping a friend paint a house for hours and 62 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:27.800 hours on end. 63 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.919 I was painted until one am, back to back nights. 64 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:33.719 Oh jeez, what are you doing? 65 00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:37.919 I was going to ask you, was that less fun 66 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.800 than watching Kansas blow at twenty one point lead in Waco? 67 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.319 But I think it probably was much better. 68 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:48.199 There was Taco Bell involved with the painting, so that 69 00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:49.840 maybe was still better fun. 70 00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:55.479 Whereas the after effects of Taco Bell aka the you know, 71 00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.680 the the very loud gas sound. 72 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.000 Was Baylor scoring see in the second half? 73 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.280 Oh my god, they scored sixty points in the second half. Okay, 74 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:06.639 all about it. 75 00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:08.759 Wait wait, wait, hold on, that was without three of 76 00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.240 the best players, by the way, go ahead and start there. 77 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:13.560 I'm chewing on popcorn. I don't care, babe. 78 00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:19.720 Ah, here we go. Kansas forty Baylor twenty one. All right, great, 79 00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:23.360 great performance here. That's that's what we're here to talk about. 80 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.360 Kansas wins by nineteen point Oh wait, let me second performance, 81 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:37.959 bab I'm now getting the updated score. Baylor eighty one, 82 00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:43.399 number eleven, Kansas seventy. 83 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:48.319 The billsoff out coach Joseph Robinett Biden or if his 84 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:49.279 life deplines on. 85 00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:51.160 It twenty twenty five. 86 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:53.480 Joseph Robins Joe the coach of Minnesota. 87 00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:54.319 Yeah. 88 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:56.800 Oh, I don't know what would ever make you think 89 00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:02.040 that he coaches. But I just got a text from 90 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.040 my wife and it says, oh, I'MFG, you are so loud. Yes, 91 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:10.680 because Kansas blue and enormous apocalyptic lead. Therefore the volume 92 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.639 goes up. I can get louder. I don't care, I'll 93 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:18.360 get louder. See she normally she normally works overnight, so 94 00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.879 she normally strategically avoids these shows. But oh lucky heard 95 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.199 the off days line up after Bill blows the biggest 96 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:25.560 lead in the history of the school. 97 00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:28.560 All right, Landon, tell me about what Johnson County divorce 98 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:29.160 courts tomorrow. 99 00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:29.920 I'm sorry, go ahead. 100 00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:36.839 Kansas was really good for a half. They led by 101 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:40.560 nineteenth the break, but Baylor needed just seven minutes to 102 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.680 race that and briefly hold a slim lead, only to 103 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.680 see Kansas settle down and rebuild a ten point lead 104 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:48.560 with nine minutes left. It looked like maybe it was 105 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:51.079 gonna be one of those moments where the lesser team 106 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.279 makes it close but the better team still wins comfortably 107 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.399 in the end. But no, we were not treated to 108 00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.000 such an outing. After that, Baylor went on a seventeen 109 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.560 run to not just beat them Jayhawks, but beat them 110 00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:08.120 going away. This is a worse loss than the Houston 111 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:13.439 loss by a lot. Everybody. The Houston loss might feel worse, 112 00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:18.040 so this feels atrocious. But Houston is a better team 113 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.000 and Kansas was literally an inbounds pass or made free 114 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:25.720 throw away from winning that game, among several other things. 115 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.759 As we talked about, this is so much worse. Baylor 116 00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.879 is worse. They were missing, as Cam said, three of 117 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.759 their best players by the end of the game, and 118 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:38.519 they lost by double digits in a game they led 119 00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:43.279 by twenty This one was twenty one. This is this 120 00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:45.399 is terrible. This is one of This is one of 121 00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:47.319 the worst losses in recent memory for Kansas. 122 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:51.240 That makes two, two losses that are two of the 123 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:54.319 maybe honestly two of the worst, the two worst losses 124 00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:57.920 we've seen this team have in like five plus years, honestly, 125 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:02.879 like last decade of Caansas basketball. The worst losses you 126 00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:06.560 can remember. Michigan is up there because of what a 127 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:11.639 galactic kick job that was. Yeah, it's close, it's you're right, 128 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:16.399 it's not actually wow old. When you think of the 129 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:20.319 worst losses they've had, the worst team that they lost 130 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:24.399 to I think in that stretch was whenever Washington inexplicably 131 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.000 beat them at the Sprint Center. 132 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:27.160 Uh. 133 00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:30.399 That was early in this season. And then twenty twenty 134 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:35.040 one had a handful of ghastly losses with freaking Jalen 135 00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:40.360 Wilson blowing the layup with the Mainland and Lick made 136 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:43.839 Landon rip his shirt off when they lost in Austin. 137 00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:53.240 But this honestly, quite possibly, the two worst losses in 138 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.040 the last decade of Kansas basketball have come in the 139 00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:57.600 last eight days. 140 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:04.800 Two of the most like what is happening losses, certainly, and. 141 00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:09.480 Like when you think of we've all discussed how the 142 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:12.560 season isn't over with those losses, nor would the season 143 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.879 be a success with those two wins, But whenever you 144 00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:19.439 think of the damage that you've done to a lot 145 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.160 of things with those two losses, two games they had 146 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.480 in hand and should have won and had a ninety 147 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.839 seven percent plus chance statistically of winning both of them. 148 00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:31.879 At any given point, if you win those games, you're 149 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.440 in second place in the Big Twelve at eight and two, 150 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:36.559 and you're one game out of a league lead against 151 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:38.840 a team that we're expecting to cool down a little bit. 152 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.399 You control your own destiny for a piece of the title. 153 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.320 You're probably a two seed right now, and you're riding 154 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.840 a winning streak that would be eight of your last 155 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.360 nine games would have been dubs with a handful of 156 00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:53.120 quality wins added to your resume, and instead now we're 157 00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:55.360 looking at a team that's lost three of the last five, 158 00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:57.919 two of those by double digits and the other and 159 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.799 other worldly home collapse. They're losing games that we haven't 160 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:04.559 seen them. I listened last week to the local radio 161 00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:06.759 stations that said the reason the Houston game was so 162 00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:09.679 shocking is because they've never seen a Bill Self team 163 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.639 lose a game like that, which is true. And now 164 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:15.600 Bill cooked up a hell of an encore by losing 165 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.919 a game that not just Bill, but Kansas period has 166 00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:22.200 never had happened. They led by twenty one and lost. 167 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:25.600 Camn it Bill. Yet, as you alluded to Ryan, Kansas's 168 00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:28.759 win probability hitting ninety seven percent one minute into the 169 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.600 second half, they blew a nineteen point lead, build it 170 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:34.000 back up to a ninety two percent chance to win. 171 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:36.399 With the ten point lead at nine minutes, they blew 172 00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.279 that as well, of course, as it took three minutes 173 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.200 from five thirty to two thirty to go in the 174 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.519 second half for their win chance to go from eighty 175 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.919 six percent to fourteen percent. And as you're getting at, 176 00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:51.399 that is something that Bill Self teams have not done. 177 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:54.480 Not that they haven't choked games before, Certainly we have 178 00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:56.440 seen them do that. Not that they haven't lost games 179 00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:58.440 that they should win before. Obviously they have done that. 180 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:02.120 But this is something that in now two consecutive losses, 181 00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:07.639 that Kansas does not lose games like this when they 182 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:13.159 have teams wrapped up in the Big Twelve, they win 183 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:18.399 those games almost always, and these are two times that 184 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:21.759 just didn't happen. And I think that I think a 185 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:23.399 lot of people are saying that speaks to the state 186 00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.159 of the program in the future of the program. I 187 00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:28.480 think that's an interesting conversation that we've talked about that 188 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:30.559 some I think that's a little bit true. I think 189 00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:32.879 it kind of is a new and slightly gloomier day 190 00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:35.639 for Kansas, not just because it's loss, but I think 191 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:37.799 based on the evidence of the last few seasons, two 192 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:39.279 seasons in particular. 193 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.919 I want to give Cam the floor because I know 194 00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:45.600 you got a lot to say. Somehow you're holding back. 195 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.440 I don't necessarily want you to, nor do I know 196 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:51.240 why you're holding back, but I will open by saying, 197 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:52.679 you know, I take a lot of crap on the 198 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:55.480 show when I make faulty predictions and landon you were 199 00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:58.200 on the last show when our buddy Cam over here 200 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:00.759 said Kansas would go three and oh in their next 201 00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:04.840 three games, and I said that was idiotic. 202 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:10.600 And so Cam dial it back and tell us her 203 00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:13.799 thoughts after watching you were well on your way to 204 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.000 being a third of the way right and. 205 00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.639 Now whoa oh boy, what say you? 206 00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:19.799 Yeah? 207 00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.039 I mean, at least Kansas doesn't have to play Iowa 208 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:25.879 State a day later and home, and that's exactly what's 209 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:26.320 coming up. 210 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:27.960 And then they go on the road to Manhattan. 211 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:33.639 Kansas, who just decimated Iowa State at Iowa State. Yeah, guys, 212 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:36.879 I suck at predictions. DraftKings would tell you so. 213 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:40.639 And he's winning pick up by a lot, and he's 214 00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:42.960 He's say, he's bad. 215 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.440 Craziest thing I'm winning pick him. If you look at 216 00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:49.639 my bed slip history, you'll see seventeen leg parlays. You'll 217 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:53.080 see Kansas money line, You'll see Kansas spread. I talk 218 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:56.519 myself into it every single time, largely because Ryan's. 219 00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.519 Like, yeah, guys, like it's completely normal to blow ten 220 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:00.960 point leads in under seven second two games back back 221 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.200 in row and they'll be fine and you're were come, 222 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:05.120 and I'm like, yeah, let's just go ahead and put 223 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.440 our life savings on Kansas, because Bill self is a 224 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:10.320 Hall of Famer that has a brain capacity of I 225 00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:13.279 don't know, Joseph Robin at Biden junior. 226 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:14.879 I don't know what's going on. 227 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.919 Allow me to read a text here conversation between Land 228 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.240 and Cam and myself at four thirty five PM, which 229 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.440 would have been a few minutes into the second half, 230 00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:28.000 when Kansas is leading with yeah, nineteen to about eight. 231 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.279 I said, they're gonna blow this, and Kansas says, and 232 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.879 I quote, no way, I might launch on ku money line. Cam, 233 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:37.720 did you back launch? No? 234 00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:41.200 I did not. Oh yeah I did that. I actually 235 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.200 did not. No, I did not. 236 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.639 I thought about it, though it crossed my mind the 237 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:47.159 first time. 238 00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:50.000 My wife slept all day because she worked overnight each 239 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:51.440 of the last two nights, so she woke up right 240 00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:53.200 around the time the game was ending to go to 241 00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:55.679 work and whenever. The first thing that she asked me 242 00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:58.039 was after she said, did Kansas win? I said no, 243 00:12:58.039 --> 00:12:59.720 they were up twenty one a half time and they lost. 244 00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:02.519 Said why didn't you bet on Baylor to win the 245 00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:04.360 game when Kaye was up big and half after what 246 00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:06.240 we saw in the Houston game, And I said, you 247 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:08.080 know what, I'm gonna start doing that when Canadas has 248 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:12.759 as a lead at halftime, gonna gonna start I have 249 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:16.360 an idea. Okay, all right, I go as Cam would say, 250 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:17.879 I'm gonna start whale bombing. 251 00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:22.679 Yeah, shamoo, whale bomb whale play. But here, hold on, guys, 252 00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:27.279 what we mean to do? She clearly has more common 253 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:29.919 sense than all of us combined. So we sign her 254 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.399 up for a fan duel account under the name not 255 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:39.519 Jerome Tang, and then she launches on Games launches and 256 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.639 Jerome Tang gets canned right after Kansas blows a ten 257 00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:47.639 point halftime lead in Manhattan to go three and. 258 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:51.399 Zero against his buddy Bill self in that building in overtime. 259 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:57.519 And Doug McDaniel still can't read what Kansas sucks back 260 00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:58.799 to the podcast. 261 00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:00.879 Fourteen minutes in, and I don't know if we've actually 262 00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.799 said anything definitive. So I'm gonna give my take on 263 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.399 Kansas and then we can start analyzing this game. My 264 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:10.519 rational take is this, there's a lot of season left 265 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:15.480 and they haven't had much of anything go right, which 266 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:19.759 is the biggest reason they haven't is their their own doing. Admittedly, 267 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:22.799 but here's what I believe as of right now, at 268 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.840 the halfway point of the conference late, I believe Kansas 269 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:27.679 is going to win at a higher clip in the 270 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:29.679 second half. In the first half they have a much 271 00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:33.360 softer schedule. Theoretically, I believe that this team I'm predicting 272 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:35.799 on record, Kansas is gonna win eight of their last 273 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:38.440 ten Big twelve games. I think they're gonna finish. 274 00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:39.519 Fourteen and six music. 275 00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:42.200 I'll play the music in the background just to give 276 00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:45.279 you some just to make the eventual drop funnier whenever 277 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:48.039 it doesn't happen. I think Kansas is gonna finish top 278 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.200 three in the Big Twelve. I think Kansas is gonna 279 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:51.840 win any of their final ten Big Twelve games. 280 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.039 But if they don't, well, hold on, if they don't 281 00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:00.840 give me a second they don't, we are gonna point 282 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:03.279 at and I think they're gonna be a three seed, 283 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:05.399 and I think they have a better than the fifty 284 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:08.360 percent chance to make the second weekend. But if they don't, 285 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.799 if they just if things don't get better, if they 286 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:13.879 stumble their way to another six and four in the 287 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:17.440 back ten, lose another home game, stumble in the and 288 00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:20.000 fall into a four or five seed, and have an 289 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:23.000 early weekend flame out again, I think that the thing 290 00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:26.720 we're gonna look at for this team is saying last 291 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:30.039 year Kansas had a team that lost eleven games. They 292 00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:34.200 really struggled on offense, and they brought back sixty percent 293 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:36.440 of that team starters, none of which could shoot the ball, 294 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:41.000 and they expected it to go differently, and it basically 295 00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:43.480 was the same season twice in a row. I believe 296 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:45.799 this team's better than last year's. I think this team 297 00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.120 has pieces last year's team didn't, and I still think 298 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.200 there's lots of time for them to figure it out. 299 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:52.399 I think you're seeing signs of it getting better, Like 300 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.080 Ryland Griffin's been a more a much more utilized player 301 00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.120 recently fory but dooone gets a piece this team didn't 302 00:15:58.120 --> 00:15:58.960 have last year. 303 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:03.879 I think because the situations, Oh we'll. 304 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:06.879 Get to that, don't you worry. But if it doesn't 305 00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:09.759 happen for Kansas and so far to this point you're 306 00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:12.679 saying it hasn't happened yet. The easy thing to point 307 00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:16.000 at is they are the same team from an outcome 308 00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:19.240 perspective as last year. Hunter Dickinson post numbers but doesn't 309 00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:21.440 do a whole lot in clutch moments of big games. 310 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:25.120 kJ Adams is a liability at times, Dwan Harris not 311 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:28.799 being a score first point guard limits the team's offensive ceiling, 312 00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:31.679 and the rest of the pieces around those guys. Bill 313 00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:36.120 self hasn't figured out the right way to utilize those rotations. 314 00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:38.600 That's where we're at right now. They got a half 315 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:41.360 a season to figure it out. Could they do it? Sure, 316 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:44.039 I'll still bet on it, considering it happens more often 317 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:46.679 than not. But I am not feeling too good if 318 00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:49.320 my life or bank account and Camp's case depends on 319 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:51.440 this team getting it together in the last few weeks 320 00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:51.960 of the season. 321 00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:55.039 Okay, so let's let's map this out. You said they 322 00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:58.080 were gonna go top three in the Big Twelve, correct? 323 00:16:58.399 --> 00:16:59.360 I like where the season? 324 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.039 I think Houston and Iowa State and Kansas will will 325 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:04.880 finish one, two, three in the Big twelve and some 326 00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:06.279 order yes? Do you disagree? 327 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:07.640 Uh? 328 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:10.680 Yeah? So, well, two their they are going to play 329 00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:13.799 Mormon missionaries for the next six games, so they do 330 00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:16.640 have a very good chance of beating those teams well, 331 00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:18.720 not including Iowa State and Orky State. But then they 332 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:19.079 have a stretch. 333 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:23.640 Think they also get Colorado twice, which theoretically. 334 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:28.319 Yeah, but let's let's game this out. So here's the thing. 335 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.559 Are they're tied not to give spoilers for our epic 336 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:36.559 Big Twelve standing segment. But here we go, By and 337 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:39.799 Baylor are both currently six and four. Can Kansas be 338 00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:42.359 one game better than both those teams? Absolutely, they can 339 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:44.640 be one game better than both those teams at least 340 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:47.359 obviously at least a game better than both those teams 341 00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:50.519 the rest of the year. Right, Iowa State is seven 342 00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:55.240 and three. Can they be two games better than Iowa 343 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.400 State if they beat. 344 00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:00.960 Him at home? Yeah, if they beat a home they 345 00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:03.759 beat them at home, they have the same record. 346 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:07.480 True, and then they have to for them to finish 347 00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:09.759 top three, then they at least have They are two 348 00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:13.279 games behind Texas Tech, and there are three games behind Houston, 349 00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:15.839 who they just lost to in Arizona, who they will 350 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.920 play later. 351 00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:22.000 They're in third. They don't have to be winning the 352 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:27.640 iow State game, right, No, I guess they'd be fourth 353 00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:30.680 because then they Arizona and Tech and all these teams, 354 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:34.640 all teams they play at home. That the extension of them, 355 00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:35.240 they don't. 356 00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:37.759 Have to be to be third. They obviously don't have 357 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:39.839 to be better than Houston or Arizona. You could be 358 00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:41.240 right on that, But are they going to be two 359 00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:42.240 games better than Tech? 360 00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:46.200 The rest of We'll say right now, I predict Kansas 361 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:50.039 finishes at or better in the Big Twelve standings than Arizona, 362 00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:51.680 They're going. 363 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:53.759 To be three games better than Arizona the rest of 364 00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:54.119 the year. 365 00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:58.480 Yep, yep, yep. 366 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:02.920 Okay, I don't know, dude. 367 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:03.359 We are. 368 00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:07.440 This isn't the Kansas that we knew in the twenty tens. 369 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:12.279 That's the thing. They're not gonna go seventeen and one, 370 00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:13.960 but the back. 371 00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:16.559 Half of the Big twelve schedule. I think should I 372 00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:20.559 think people who are penciling in twelve and eight in 373 00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:24.319 the final standings, I think people are underestimating how bad 374 00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:29.240 their back ten games are. I mean Utah, Oklahoma State 375 00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:33.119 two against Colorado, one against Kansas State. Half of them 376 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:35.640 right there are bottom feeders. I'm not saying it's a lock, 377 00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:38.119 but I'm saying I would bet on that happening. If 378 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:40.880 the other alternative is the floor falls out, I might 379 00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:41.319 be made. 380 00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:42.720 Okay, we're fool But. 381 00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:50.519 Right now, if you either choose this correctly or your 382 00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:55.559 left nut sack it's chopped in half. Does Kansas go 383 00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:58.079 fourteen and six or thirteen and seven? 384 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:01.480 U between those options? 385 00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:02.759 Yeah? 386 00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:05.720 Those options, like, if you choose incorrectly, you were gonna 387 00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:08.480 speak be speaking in a higher pitch voice for rest 388 00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:12.000 of your life. If you're if you're right, you get 389 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:13.279 absolutely nothing in return. 390 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:14.759 I say they go. 391 00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:18.079 Eight and two. Yeah, you're dead. You're dead. 392 00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.920 I mean, I don't die. I just have a higher voice. 393 00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:23.720 I didn't. 394 00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:26.079 I didn't set the parameters of how the surgery works. 395 00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:27.279 There's there's no. 396 00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:30.559 Here in this scenario. 397 00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:32.240 Yeah, I think they go. 398 00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:36.079 Also, let's get let's game this out though. So let's 399 00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:40.079 say they have four games that are decidedly more difficult 400 00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:42.480 than the other six out of the out of the 401 00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:45.920
