WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:03.399 And now we have basketball, and some of it was 2 00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:07.320 better with other basketb oh Man, you want to lead 3 00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:07.799 off with that? 4 00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:09.160 Should we lead off with that? 5 00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:10.880 Sixteen years in a row? 6 00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:11.519 I mean we can. 7 00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:13.759 I kind of already did it. I'm already I'm still 8 00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:16.079 sad about it. I've also been waiting since Saturday night 9 00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.440 to say that. So, yeah, it was bad, Landon, I 10 00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:20.039 feel like that. 11 00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.239 Reading the group text, Cam and I were both angry 12 00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:27.559 about Kansas losing for the sixteenth consecutive time to Kansas State. Landon, 13 00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:31.199 you are twenty four years old, so that would make 14 00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:34.079 you a solid third grader. The last time Kansas beat 15 00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.960 Kansas State and football, you just seemed more accepting at 16 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:39.159 the back, like you just know. 17 00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:45.840 I was wildly dejected. Actually after really it got me. 18 00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:49.600 What flavor of kran were you eating on the last 19 00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:51.880 time that Kansas beat Kansas State? 20 00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:58.399 And I was a forest green guy? Myself didn't help. 21 00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:00.000 I tried it. I tried to go back to it 22 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.479 for luck, like one of those you know, like ritual things, 23 00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:04.760 superstitions didn't work, didn't work. 24 00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.200 How many times I would grab the forest green crayon 25 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:10.480 because it looked like it was just a normal green 26 00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:12.959 crayon the colored trees or something, and it was so 27 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:15.560 much lighter than I wanted it to be, and it 28 00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:17.680 was just disappointing. It's kind of like that blue crayon 29 00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:19.879 that wasn't actually blue. It was like indigo, but it 30 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.200 looked like it was supposed to be blue. Just me, 31 00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:23.640 just homeschool problems. 32 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:29.840 Anybody only homeschoolers used crayons. Well, it's better if you 33 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.159 didn't eat them. I probably ate a few in my prime. 34 00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:36.879 But yeah, well that's the So eating a crayon would 35 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.599 be the equivalence of the Zach Clements experience through two 36 00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:41.640 exhibition games, which we will talk. 37 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.319 All about a person. I don't mean to put on blast. 38 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:46.799 I've only met this person once and he was very nice. 39 00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:50.879 We got along great. But the a friend of mine, 40 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:58.159 her brother apparently eats Plato, or at least has for Like, wow, really. 41 00:01:58.079 --> 00:01:59.959 What age are we talking about? A four year old? 42 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:04.079 Eighteen or like twenty or something like on a rat trip. 43 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.680 He just had something. She was she okay, like that's 44 00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.560 that's a thing. Apparently he was fine when he ate it. 45 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.840 Really devastating stuff though, was upsetting to learn. 46 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:20.840 I mean, I'm actually speechless I remember eating Plato as 47 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:22.599 a like a like a four year old and then 48 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.199 being told you don't eat plato. I now, one thing 49 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.319 that's not true is any parent that told their kids 50 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.199 like it's really bad for you. That's really not true either. 51 00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:33.919 It's just flour and salt like it's fine. The problem 52 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.439 I think was you're touching Plato that a bunch of 53 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.639 other very sick kids have touched at one point, but 54 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:42.280 like just picking it out of the containers and eating it. 55 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.039 I wouldn't think that would do any harm to you, 56 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.680 aside from the moral harm of everybody thinking you are 57 00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:49.400 from Mars. 58 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.240 Yeah, and doing it as as a grown person on 59 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:56.639 purpose with that intent is really something to me. 60 00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:59.919 Well, whether you eat Plato or whether you eat crayons 61 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.360 or anything. Get ready for a fun season of Kansas basketball. 62 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.639 We're gonna see are they more like the team against 63 00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:08.039 Arkansas or are they more like the team against Washburn. 64 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:10.599 Can't believe that those two games went the way they did. 65 00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.479 We're gonna recap the exhibitions and get you ready for 66 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:17.039 the real games, which do not start until one day 67 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.280 before the election. So our first ASCARCB, who are you 68 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:29.199 guys voting for? In this uncoming. Oh huh, that's pretty good, Landon, 69 00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.800 I'll go ahead and give it to you. This is 70 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:34.159 Inside the Paint Podcast. 71 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.759 I'm Riaan Landris, I'm Landing Fields, and I'm Bill self 72 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:39.479 here to remind you the one pill can kill. 73 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:45.439 That is true. I lets it's from It's on the radio, sir, 74 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:51.000 it is. It's Brian freaking Haney saying, and now an 75 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.159 important message from our coaches wives. And it's the two. 76 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:58.439 It's Cindy self and Kelly. Why aren't our lousy ass 77 00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.560 fans in the stand live bol telling you that you 78 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:03.479 need to not share. 79 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.520 Because and so is your husband. 80 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.919 I kind of think Lance Leipold is on opiates at 81 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:12.759 least for this part of the season because they're two. 82 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.360 It would six, It would explain, it would it would 83 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.800 explain he chugs them in the fourth quarter of every game. 84 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.040 I think we might need to update this drop. Instead 85 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:23.560 of Bill as his head ups ass so much, Hi, Nick, 86 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.560 it could now be uh, lance Leipold. 87 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:27.839 As his head ups ass so much. 88 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.480 There now we could just have them both play side 89 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.199 by side in case we need it, because he yes, 90 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.839 But did you guys know before we talk about the basketball, 91 00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.000 if games in the UH in college football were three 92 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.560 quarters long, Kansas would be seven and one in a 93 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:45.480 top the Big twelve, correct, but there aren't no they that. 94 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:48.319 That is five in case you're counting at home, five 95 00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.079 one for each fart noise that you're about to hear 96 00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:01.279 you there, that's the five times that they have lost 97 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:03.240 after leading after three quarters. 98 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:05.839 It is and that's what makes this the most painful 99 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:11.120 Kansas football season that I've ever witnessed, because not only 100 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:13.399 A did they come into the season with any amount 101 00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:17.279 of expectations and blue those they've they genuinely I still 102 00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.240 don't think are like that bad of a team. No, 103 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:22.560 they all know they're two and six, like they're not good, 104 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:26.399 but like they should be at least like a four 105 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.399 or five or six win team, and they're not. And 106 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:32.560 it sucks. It sucks that they're not even bad and 107 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:33.360 they're still bad. 108 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.560 They were like seven or eight expected points better than 109 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.120 Kansas State in that game and lost by two. That's 110 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.319 like the story of their season. So if you had 111 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.079 to bet, does the streak to Kansas State end in 112 00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.680 the twenty twenties got to your head? You have to 113 00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.720 predict it otherwise it goes off at New Year's Day 114 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:52.920 twenty thirty. What are you saying. 115 00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:55.920 I mean, that's not a terrible fate seeing the track 116 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:59.560 run in this world here, But I'm gonna go with 117 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.319 seeing that they're losing most of the roster and then 118 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:05.879 coming back next year with not a lot of hope. 119 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:10.319 I think hesitly. I say yes in the twenty twenties 120 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:12.240 because at some point you have to think it ends. 121 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.360 But at the same time we have no reason to 122 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.480 truly believe that. But I'll say yes twenty twenties. So 123 00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:19.040 what you got it? 124 00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:22.120 You got five chances, right, twenty five, six, seven, eight, 125 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:25.480 and nine, you got five more chances. Yeah, the odds 126 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:29.600 say yeah, I would think like it happened next year. 127 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.959 I agree, But but at some point they happened. 128 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:35.399 To it could? 129 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:35.959 It could? 130 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.360 Could Lance Lighthold coach the Golden Globetrotters to a win. 131 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:47.199 The Golden Globe Trotter Globe Trotters, that's a sound bite 132 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:52.720 that you gotta I think he probably could. Like if 133 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.879 the team existence Globe Trotters, Yeah. 134 00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:00.360 Lance Lighthold coached k State, what would happen? I think 135 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.000 they'd be worse. I think it's there's no doubt it 136 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.439 would happen in the k State KU game. Would Lance 137 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:08.199 Lightpold be the dominant force there or would Kase State 138 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:09.240 continue the dominance? 139 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:14.439 Oh man, And the thing with Lance is not to 140 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:16.480 turn this into the Lance light Bulb show, but landon 141 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:20.759 you and I for years as Kansas, like three years ago, 142 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.959 beat Texas and then they were right in there with 143 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:27.040 teams as a twenty point underdog, and it was apparent 144 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:29.720 they get to the fourth quarter and just do unbelievably 145 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.439 stupid stuff like punting at the thirty eight yard line 146 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:37.639 or back to back timeouts triggering penalties. I'll never forget that, 147 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:40.439 or the kicker can't make anything, and yet they keep 148 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:43.079 kicking field goals despite the fact that they're a twenty 149 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.519 point underdog on the road. And I think that our 150 00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:49.120 fear was Lance is going to get this program to 151 00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:52.639 where it has expectations and talent. But when they get 152 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:55.680 there and the expectation is to win, and you are 153 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.439 routinely in close games because your roster is everybody as 154 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.199 good as other team in your conference, will you get 155 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:05.959 out coached in those moments and five blown fourth quarter 156 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:09.040 leads later? I think that at this point and Lance 157 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.480 people are like, well, Lance is only in his fourth 158 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:13.720 year or whatever. The man's been a head coach at 159 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:15.759 a lot of levels. He's been coaching far too long 160 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:17.920 for these clock management screw ups and all these. 161 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.399 He's a six time national champion in Division three. He 162 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:21.600 can't be an idiot and do. 163 00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:24.279 That right, And we don't think he is an idiot, 164 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.360 but it is maddening, as I mean, the professional football 165 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:30.319 team at least that I root for has Andy Reid 166 00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:32.480 at the Controls, who was thought to be one of 167 00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.679 the most continuously maddening coaches in the history of sports, 168 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.600 and now is root is absolutely undoubtedly considered the best. 169 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:42.519 So it can change if you get the right players quickly. 170 00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.080 And I think Lance is very, very good and he 171 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.679 is undoubtedly the best coach that Kansas football has had 172 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.720 in Are you gonna say he's better than Mangino. I 173 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:57.720 think he's better than Mangino probably, Yeah, I don't know. 174 00:08:57.799 --> 00:08:59.679 I mean, I don't know. Mangino won an Orange Bowl 175 00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:02.840 with Camas. Kansas was a loss to Missouri away from 176 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:03.799 playing for the Natty. 177 00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.000 Yeah, but Kansas want to guaranteed rate bull I mean, 178 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:11.840 that's the epitome of against the UNLV team that like 179 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:14.480 sixty percent of their team didn't play. That is true, 180 00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:15.799 that did happen, and. 181 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.720 They would have beat Arkansas except for the fact that 182 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:22.399 said coaching decision decided to have the backup quarterback go 183 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:24.600 out there with the most important play of the whole night. 184 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:27.279 All right, let's talk about it right into the hot 185 00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:30.879 Dogs stand. That's why this drop exists on the show. 186 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.799 There goes the ball in the row three of the crowd. 187 00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:37.720 What you're a future Heisman winner. He wasn't playing, no 188 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.039 fear by the time he's a senior. I bet he's 189 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:43.279 going to kick all of the buns whenever it comes 190 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.240 to college football. Right landon, Jayalen Daniels for Heisman? How's 191 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.320 that going this year? Let me just pull up this badly? 192 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.720 It's going very bad, all right. 193 00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:59.759 I went into I went into Raising Kanes the other 194 00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:02.519 day and there's Jalen Daniels holding a box at chicken 195 00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.360 tender in a cardboard cutout, not actually him, and it's 196 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:09.559 like the official chicken tender. He did not throw them 197 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:10.360 to the opposition. 198 00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:13.240 I went into the Overland Park Canes the other day 199 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:15.159 and the first thing I said when I went in 200 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:17.679 there and saw that cardboard cutout of Jalen Daniels. Was 201 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:22.519 that guy blows all right? 202 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:24.720 I feel like that's a good good notes to turn 203 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:27.600 the page and talk about how well the Arkansas game. 204 00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:33.440 That game blows all right. So there's two exhibition games here. 205 00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:36.960 I know, whenever we get into the regular season, we'll 206 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:40.120 read scores, we'll do stats like there really isn't a 207 00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:43.320 whole lot of stat analyzing to do an exhibition games 208 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.679 where you had an incomplete roster. They don't count, the 209 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.360 score doesn't really matter. But Kansas goes out there and 210 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:52.240 just gets blown out of Bud Walton Arena. They lose 211 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:55.240 by sixteen to Arkansas and get eighty five points hung 212 00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:57.679 on him, and then they predictably come home and just 213 00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:01.279 obliterate poor Washburn. They're up by already some points before 214 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:04.240 putting in the walk ons. So you got two games 215 00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:06.919 to recap. I'll let you guys decide do you want 216 00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:08.600 to start with the bad or the good? Just give 217 00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:12.519 me some takeaways. You watched eighty minutes or well eighty 218 00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:16.879 minutes worth of Kansas basketball via highlights. What were your 219 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:18.720 takeaways from the exhibitions. 220 00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:24.840 My takeaways mainly were that Kansas played a very athletic 221 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:30.080 team on the road in a hostile environment without their 222 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:34.399 best offensive player in their first game together as a team, 223 00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:36.799 and didn't look very good. And then they came and 224 00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:38.559 played a team that they were so much more talented 225 00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:41.080 than in their second game with one of their better 226 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:44.080 players back, and they looked much better. And I think 227 00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:47.600 that might actually be all you can actually take away 228 00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:51.360 from the games, genuinely is that Arkansas is just pretty 229 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:54.120 good and it was the first time these guys have 230 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:56.720 ever actually played fully together, and boy, could you tell. 231 00:11:58.159 --> 00:11:59.960 And then Washburn is just not very good in Kansas 232 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:01.759 ran them off the floor. We'll get into a lot 233 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:03.759 more than that, but I think that's my general takeaway. 234 00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.120 Cam Yeah, I mean that's pretty much the spark nose 235 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:09.320 version of it. I wouldn't read too much into the 236 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:13.480 Arkansas game actually, really either of the games. It's so early, 237 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.080 and like Lannon said, no Hunter Dickinson, the guys have 238 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:21.039 not played together in a formal setting. Also, interestingly enough, 239 00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.639 Dawan Harris led the way with twenty six points right 240 00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:26.399 after I ripped on him on the opening show of 241 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:26.960 the season. 242 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:28.720 So that makes me feel really good. 243 00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:33.759 And yeah, I mean, it really it's a tough environment 244 00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:37.000 to go to. It's an early season John Caliperry team, 245 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.039 which we all know tend to look better than the 246 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:42.120 late season John Caliperry teams, and I wouldn't read too 247 00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:44.320 much into the Arkansas game tonight. They look way better, 248 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:46.240 but they also were playing a Division two school, So 249 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:47.879 that's pretty much what I would take away from it. 250 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:50.720 Yeah, I guess we can kind of put this into 251 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.360 two different categories. The players that we didn't really learn 252 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.600 anything from slash didn't need to, and the ones that 253 00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:00.240 we did. The main team takeaway that I had, and 254 00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:02.639 this is fresh on everybody's minds after watching the three 255 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:05.960 point broads against Washburn. So last year, in eighteen conference 256 00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:09.080 games plus a Big Twelve tournament game, plus two NCAA 257 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:12.600 Tournament games their last twenty one basketball games, Kansas made 258 00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:16.120 more threes than their opponents once one time in the 259 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.360 final twenty one games did they make more three point 260 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:21.519 baskets than their opponent. Even with the atrocity that was 261 00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:23.840 the Arkansas performance, they still made one more three than 262 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:26.440 the Razorbacks. And then obviously they just put it on Washburn. 263 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:29.600 They made fifteen threes. That was the biggest weakness on 264 00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:31.960 the team last year. It was our biggest weakness coming 265 00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:34.559 into this season. Would they get enough three point shooting, 266 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:38.080 would be balanced enough. Through two games, they've outscored their 267 00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:40.440 opponents from behind the three point line. I think as 268 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:42.600 long as they continue to do that more often than 269 00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:44.600 they don't. They're not gonna do it every game because 270 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.360 they have to play at BYU, so there's at least 271 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:48.240 one that they won't. But as long as they can 272 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.840 do that more often than last year, I think that's 273 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:53.559 going to give you such a better chance of not 274 00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:56.360 being able to put together wins. Whenever you can't make threes, 275 00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:58.759 you're not putting together a four or five game winning 276 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:01.360 streak in this conference. Now that they can shoot the 277 00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:03.320 ball better, I think you're gonna see that be a 278 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:06.039 little bit easier for them. And in this particular game 279 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:09.279 to want Harris against Washburn only four points and twenty 280 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:11.600 one minutes after scoring twenty six in a game where 281 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.879 Kansas was missing several premier players. Against Arkansas, we didn't 282 00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:18.200 really learn anything from Dewan Harris. We expect his stats 283 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.279 I think a little bit to tick upwards this year. 284 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:23.120 He's in the last year of a five year career. 285 00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:25.360 I gotta think that the arrow points up on the 286 00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:27.320 stats a little bit, but he's primarily going to be 287 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:30.559 the facilitator of the offense. Let's talk about the backup 288 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:32.879 point guards though, because Kansas has a few different guys. 289 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:36.039 Cam you said at the beginning of the first show 290 00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:39.000 that David Kuoite you thought was a potential difference maker 291 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:42.039 for this team, and looking at the two box scorers, 292 00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:44.360 I think that you're off to a right start. Quoit 293 00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:47.559 didn't score zero for five against Arkansas and Kansas looked awful, 294 00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:50.320 and then against Washburn he goes out and makes five 295 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.360 to three shoots a lot early and scores nineteen points. 296 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:57.799 Are you expecting him? With Zeke Mayo, who he saw 297 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:00.000 not play very well against Arkansas and then makes it 298 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.919 threes against Washburn, Rick Heath Passmore has played well and 299 00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:06.440 Shack Moore who didn't play in either of the games 300 00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:09.000 because of an injury. Dwan Harris has some help this year, 301 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:10.919 and these guys can score. I gotta think that that 302 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:12.679 gives you more hope than you had last year. 303 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:15.559 Yeah, I mean absolutely, it's nice to have options. I 304 00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:18.840 also think the big thing to remember with David Coy 305 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:21.320 is he is really small. I mean he's five foot eight. 306 00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:23.320 They listen is five foot eleven. He's five foot eight. 307 00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:26.639 So tonight, playing against Washburn, he's gonna look like prime 308 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:29.320 Wilt Chamberlain. I mean he's about the same size as 309 00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:32.879 everyone else on the floor. But what I do like 310 00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:35.159 about him he plays with a lot of confidence. He's 311 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:37.639 not scared. He has a lot of experience. He was 312 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:40.240 a standout at Northern Illinois, and I really do think 313 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:42.480 that that gives us hope this year. And it'll be 314 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:44.639 fun to watch because you don't have to worry about 315 00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:47.759 if Kevin mccoller is not playing, if Johnny Furfy's not 316 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:51.440 shooting well, we Kansas won't have any three points scoring 317 00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:53.360 and that's not the case this year. So yeah, it's 318 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:55.200 definitely a comforting feeling for sure. 319 00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:57.480 So Lennon and I want to ask you about aj Store, 320 00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:02.240 who was Kansas's highest crowd our most touted transfer from 321 00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:04.879 over the summer. They're paying him a good chunk in 322 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:06.799 IL money to not go to the draft and play 323 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:09.919 presumably one year at Kansas, and he opened up the 324 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.639 Arkansas game with an emphatic dunk and screamed in someone's 325 00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:15.080 face and I'm like, Wow, here comes this dude. Then 326 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:17.320 only made three of his final ten shots, scored eight 327 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:20.919 points against Arkansas, and then scores eight Morgan's washburn eighty 328 00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:22.919 percent free throw shooter from a year ago that was 329 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:25.519 just three for six in the wash spring game, So 330 00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:28.159 still working out some of the early season yips. This 331 00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:29.919 is a guy that I think a lot of us. 332 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:32.080 It's a decent bet to say he might be Kansas's 333 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:35.399 second leading scorer this year. Bill self acknowledged throughout the 334 00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:38.399 week that he thought that he was responsible for Store 335 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:41.559 being a little confused at this point because originally he 336 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:44.080 got onto Store to be less aggressive and share the 337 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:46.240 ball more, and then he started doing that and now 338 00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:48.919 Self said he wants some of that aggressiveness back. He 339 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:51.039 seems like the sort of player that when it's going well, 340 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:53.039 he's going to be getting a lot of baskets at 341 00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:56.639 the rim, driving downhill and then occasionally shooting threes. But 342 00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:59.279 his game appears to be driving of the cup. Store 343 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:02.440 is important this team. You mentioned overtext during the game 344 00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:04.880 that you've been pretty unimpressed through two games. What has 345 00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:07.759 it about his game that has that has you feeling 346 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:09.880 that way? And do you have optimism it will change 347 00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:11.079 as he gets some experience. 348 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:14.240 I mean, yeah, there's definitely optimism that I think he 349 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:16.720 will still be a very solid player. Like it's two 350 00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:20.440 exhibition games, you never know. Obviously, I think he still 351 00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:23.200 be good. The main thing is that I just haven't 352 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:28.200 really seen him do anything particularly well in either game, 353 00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:31.279 Like you know, and again it is like the Arkansas 354 00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:33.079 game is the whole thing because it is the first 355 00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:35.160 time these guys are playing together. Arkansas is very athletic, 356 00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:38.400 like it's a whole the environment is tough, But I 357 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.799 think the main thing is I haven't seen him drive 358 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:46.119 to the cup very well yet, which is especially kind 359 00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:50.000 of concerning against washingburniye Onlios two for seven from the 360 00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:55.039 floor against the Ichabods and then also not knocking down 361 00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:57.480 the threes. I know, he's not like a premier shooter 362 00:17:57.559 --> 00:17:59.200 in the way that some of these other guys are, 363 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:02.920 so he isn't going to take and make nearly as 364 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:06.960 many as some of these guys hopefully, But yeah, I 365 00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:09.200 just it is that aggressive this thing, and Bill self 366 00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:11.839 does have this tendency at times. I think you mentioned 367 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:14.079 Ryan in the chat during the game, like a little 368 00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:16.400 bit of over coaching. Sometimes it feels like it's not 369 00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:20.480 the first time this sort of thing has happened, where 370 00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:23.160 you know, Bill self feels like he's asking players to 371 00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:25.920 tone back their natural instincts, but then kind of regrets 372 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:28.359 doing that at a different point in the season when 373 00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:32.119 you see that player not really knowing Remie Martin what they're. 374 00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:32.640 Doing all the time. 375 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:36.480 So hopefully that's not the case, or hopefully that will, 376 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:38.000 you know, wear off. I do think by the end 377 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:39.599 of the Wash spring game he was starting to look 378 00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:42.920 a lot more comfortable. But yeah, I just haven't seen 379 00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:47.160 anything particularly stand out about him. Unfortunately, when he is 380 00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:48.960 a guy that yeah, coming into the air that he's 381 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:51.200 a guy you were thinking could average, you know, fifteen 382 00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:54.599 sixteen points a game, be that kind of guy knocked 383 00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:57.279 down a couple threes, be a Kevin mccullor type. I 384 00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:00.160 still think he is the Kevin mccullor player type. But 385 00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:03.000 we'll see if he can actually fit the Kevin McCuller role. 386 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:06.119 So far he hasn't, but real game start in a week, 387 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.960 so we'll get a much better feel for how that 388 00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:11.240 goes against Howard. I think, well, I'm. 389 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:14.039 Very curious to hear you guys' thoughts on something that 390 00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:17.359 immediately came to mind for me. For store, the last 391 00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:22.400 three well known three man, three men, three man's whatever 392 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:24.640 you want to say, guys that played the three at Kansas, 393 00:19:24.920 --> 00:19:29.160 Sophie m kay look, Christian Brown, and then last year 394 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.119 Kevin McCuller. All three of those guys were very good passers. 395 00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:35.799 They all had good assist numbers. It's an integral part 396 00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:38.680 of a bill self Hi lowl offense AJ Storre and 397 00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:42.599 neither of his first two seasons averaged one assist per game. 398 00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:45.559 He was under that in both seasons last year zero 399 00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.799 point nine assists while playing thirty minutes a game. Passing 400 00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:51.359 really isn't his strong suit. You expect that to go 401 00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:53.799
