Speaker 1: Well, a solid forty minutes later than we were supposed
Speaker 1: to get going, and about thirty as Arcbs in the hopper,
Speaker 1: you cam apparently had a successful night on Fortnite. I'm
Speaker 1: arguing Landon and I were arguing about the NFL and
Speaker 1: right before the Super Bowl, which we're not gonna pick
Speaker 1: on this show. So let's open with that. ASCARCB, give
Speaker 1: me a Super Bowl pick.
Speaker 2: Not the Lions Chiefs by any amount.
Speaker 1: It's not the Lion Oh kay, My feels is so bad, dude,
Speaker 1: it sucks.
Speaker 3: I saw a tweet today that made me so upset
Speaker 3: that I almost threw myself into traffic. Bill Belichick's girlfriend
Speaker 3: is wearing one more Super Bowl ring than the Lions
Speaker 3: that have ever won in their entire history as a franchise.
Speaker 1: Oh man, yeah, I wasn't even alive. She wasn't even
Speaker 1: alive for the first couple I don't think right. That
Speaker 1: was twenty five years ago.
Speaker 3: How old was she when the Patriots won their first
Speaker 3: ring with two three? Was she born? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Right around there? Yeah, yeah, it was the same.
Speaker 3: What are we doing then?
Speaker 2: Why twenty four year old? Before I can.
Speaker 1: Wow Landon? It may have something to see with the
Speaker 1: fact that he has guys a ton of it's obviously
Speaker 1: his ruggedly good looks and his unmistakable charm that's doing
Speaker 1: it for him.
Speaker 3: Right we are, we're starting now, We're we're taking this
Speaker 3: a totally different direction. Here, we are starting. We're starting
Speaker 3: a challenge. Every retweet it's kind of a go fundme thing.
Speaker 3: We're getting laying in the supermodel girlfriend. Everyone spread the
Speaker 3: word X, Twitter dot com, slash X. I don't know
Speaker 3: what it's called nowadays. Things. I'm actually we're doing this.
Speaker 3: I'm not pissed about this at all. Actually no, I'm
Speaker 3: not either. I'm all for it.
Speaker 1: I'll donate. I don't know how donating money equates to this,
Speaker 1: but that's all.
Speaker 2: I've heard that. The X replies these days are filled
Speaker 2: with really really legitimately good women.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, just if you're intel, Russian people trying
Speaker 1: to sell you Viagra pills and ninety five percent discount.
Speaker 1: Checked out the Rockschok dot com comment.
Speaker 3: It's dude. It's like five dudes. And one of them's
Speaker 3: name is like Angel Delgado who might have played for
Speaker 3: Seaton Hall. And it's like I come to you bringing
Speaker 3: piss and the five million dollars, click like and sim
Speaker 3: message for fortune and fame, and then there's like one
Speaker 3: guy and it's me. That's like, dude, I'm in.
Speaker 1: I get one of those every rock chalk blog tweet.
Speaker 1: So it was the porn bots forever when Elon bought Twitter.
Speaker 1: And now once per tweet I send out, once per tweet,
Speaker 1: I send out, Uh, it's I have been blessed with
Speaker 1: the fortune. I will give the first ten people who
Speaker 1: respond to this five thousand US. Yes. And so you
Speaker 1: know what, what what Kansas needs isn't as much dollars
Speaker 1: as it is coaching advice.
Speaker 3: At this point, it was a good day TJ. Gasola.
Speaker 1: It was a really good week for Kansas basketball, who
Speaker 1: defeated Iowa State in a statement victory, and now they
Speaker 1: hit the road to play suddenly the hottest team in
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve and also their biggest current conference rival.
Speaker 1: So what do we do. We get all of our ascarcbs,
Speaker 1: we bring in our prostitution conversations, and we come to
Speaker 1: the microphones to talk all about No, that's pretty blatant prostitution.
Speaker 1: There's no legend raising money on go fund me too.
Speaker 1: You know what he said, supermodel, I don't care anymore.
Speaker 1: Rick Patino can come back from a lot of things.
Speaker 1: I can come back to prostitutions. I don't even have
Speaker 1: any family pain. I don't Your standard is don't let yourself.
Speaker 1: Don't let yourself become Rick Pattino. Please, this is inside
Speaker 1: the Pain.
Speaker 3: I'm Ryan Landrath, I'm Landing Fields, and I'm cam I think.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna do this with there being so many ascarcbs,
Speaker 1: and I refuse to cut ascarcbs. We gotta read all
Speaker 1: the questions. So we're gonna throw in some ascarcbs throughout
Speaker 1: the course of the podcast, and then when we get
Speaker 1: to the final ASCARCB segment, there'll be less of them.
Speaker 1: So land and go ahead and give us a couple uh,
Speaker 1: to wet the palette of this episode or the listeners
Speaker 1: rather of this episode.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, trying something a little new here. Let's start
Speaker 2: with two. We're gonna do two, and then we'll hop
Speaker 2: into the normal run of the show. First one from
Speaker 2: at Cebe's Burner too. No, by the way, I'm not
Speaker 2: back on Twitter. I'm logging into rock Chalk Blogs Twitter
Speaker 2: to do this. Uh, what is your favorite season and
Speaker 2: why Cebe's Burner two does not specify if this is
Speaker 2: season of the year or like Kansas basketball season. You
Speaker 2: could answer both one or the other. Pick your own adventure,
Speaker 2: darn it, Landon.
Speaker 1: I asked you to start with ones that had simple answers,
Speaker 1: and you pick an open ended one where we have
Speaker 1: to wonder was he talking about seasons of Full House?
Speaker 3: I haven't talking about.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a full House, mostly because no
Speaker 2: one cares. I have a show that sucks.
Speaker 1: But go ahead, correct in my bag, ass it's awful.
Speaker 1: Don't open my don't open my bag of full House
Speaker 1: takes land and you don't want that?
Speaker 3: Who is the main character in Full House? That touching?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: Okay, you really want me to do this cam. You
Speaker 1: want me to do this before the show. You want
Speaker 1: me to do this before we talk about a good
Speaker 1: one for Kansas because we're getting back on track.
Speaker 3: The train is falling off the tracks. I'm gonna guide
Speaker 3: it back on here. Best season of the year is
Speaker 3: summer because that's when Bill self gets recruits. We get excited,
Speaker 3: the weather is good, and then they don't play said
Speaker 3: recruits and it doesn't even matter.
Speaker 1: So it's summer for different reasons. But the same answer. Yes,
Speaker 1: it is summer, and also because I am a lizard
Speaker 1: and enjoy the heat.
Speaker 2: Really well crafted answer, Cam, I just appreciate the artistry
Speaker 2: of it. You're wrong. It's fall It always has been
Speaker 2: fallen and always will be.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: Is that because our starting quarterback gets hurt after two
Speaker 3: games and we just reminisce in two thousand and eight?
Speaker 2: Yes, that is already hurts.
Speaker 3: I don't get what is going on, guys.
Speaker 2: Is he actually hurt already?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean kind of. He had a knee scope
Speaker 1: or something it's called. But we know how that works. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well that's the first times. Also, Cam, your favorite season
Speaker 1: has to be the summer because that's the the hope
Speaker 1: for the Lions is brewing, and then the fall it
Speaker 1: reaches its climax before the winter. And oh no, not again.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make a sexual enhancement pill called early Climax
Speaker 3: and it's gonna be named after the Lions.
Speaker 1: Still feel good, Just the spot I wanted to be in.
Speaker 1: Six minutes in and we haven't even talked about I
Speaker 1: haven't even read the scory yet.
Speaker 3: Second question, Yeah, what's this podcast about?
Speaker 2: It's about this. I'm sorry to everyone who has ever
Speaker 2: known or loved me from at the Old Booth sixty
Speaker 2: nine A classic ass er tits nice?
Speaker 1: Oh of course, ass, I just wanted.
Speaker 3: That wagon behind me.
Speaker 2: As ass. I mean.
Speaker 1: My take on this is it changes. I'm older than you, Land,
Speaker 1: and I'm a little bit older than you can this
Speaker 1: answer changes over the course of life. It begins as
Speaker 1: a wee young lad looking at the front and the
Speaker 1: age little bits. It slowly balances out where you can
Speaker 1: really appreciate the craft of a nice.
Speaker 2: Yes, you can come over a three to sixty man.
Speaker 1: Correct, Yes. What doesn't mean your appreciation for the first
Speaker 1: answer dies down. It just means that you can bring
Speaker 1: up the rear no pun intended.
Speaker 2: Interesting, is that the only thing that goes up? Bryan?
Speaker 3: You know, holyd what how would I know that?
Speaker 1: What the fact that that.
Speaker 2: I'm a young man.
Speaker 1: And I'm old Hi, I'm thirty. I've watched more Kansas
Speaker 1: Tournament losses than either one of these two.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, yeah, oh yeah, I forgot. We were on
Speaker 3: the Kansas podcast.
Speaker 1: Anyway, yep, anything anything, you know. Nick told me that
Speaker 1: he listened to this the other day and he said,
Speaker 1: I hear it's every bit as unlistenable as it used
Speaker 1: to be. Yes, it is, Nick, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: It's a high bar that we have tried to maintain,
Speaker 1: and I don't think it got any better after that segment,
Speaker 1: but it also didn't get worse.
Speaker 3: Nick legitimately told me that it's not like I sund
Speaker 3: the ice sound like if Daniel and Ryan had a
Speaker 3: baby and gave it family trauma.
Speaker 1: He got that quote from Landon, who said that like
Speaker 1: five minutes. Yeah, that's right, Yep, that's exactly where it came. Yeah, Daniel,
Speaker 1: early season Daniel does remind me a little bit our
Speaker 1: early season. Cam does remind me a little bit of
Speaker 1: early season Daniel, in the sense that they would have
Speaker 1: a good ten minutes against the crappy ass Oklahoma State
Speaker 1: team and Danie'll be like, oh my gosh, final four,
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and head you this sports betting kiosk.
Speaker 1: I can feel it. This is the one, guys. And
Speaker 1: then they open the second half missing four straight threes,
Speaker 1: and Cam's like, god, guys, this team just they just
Speaker 1: don't know what it means to have Kansas on the
Speaker 1: front of their jerseys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the differences. I never leave the sports
Speaker 3: spinning Kiosk. I just changed my pits mid game based
Speaker 3: off what's going on, and then I lose, and.
Speaker 1: You bet fifty United States since on Colorado, YA, No,
Speaker 1: I would hope not. And Cam those fifty six they
Speaker 1: had a family. They're now dead. Hair. They are as
Speaker 1: new as you want them to be, Cam, because I've
Speaker 1: watched they're so light. Utah, I don't know if they do. Actually,
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna win a big twelve game.
Speaker 1: But I know who did win one this week, and
Speaker 1: that was Kansas number sixteen, Kansas sixty nine, number eight,
Speaker 1: Iowa State fifty two, one of the lowest rankings that
Speaker 1: Kansas has ever had in our time on the show,
Speaker 1: but they didn't play like it. Desperately needing a big win,
Speaker 1: the Jayhawks got a huge performance from their defense, putting
Speaker 1: up an especially dominant first half in which Iowa State
Speaker 1: failed to score even twenty points and oe to Kansas
Speaker 1: at times. They coasted. The Jayhawks did through the entire
Speaker 1: second half, and we're never threatened in a seventeen point
Speaker 1: win that opens up a stretch of winnable games with
Speaker 1: a signal at your victory. Fun fact, Iowa State scored
Speaker 1: eight fewer points on the night than Baylor did in
Speaker 1: the second half just forty eight hours prior. So you
Speaker 1: could either open, depending on which end of the spectrum
Speaker 1: that you're looking at, that you could say this night
Speaker 1: real South without these bills to myself, or you could
Speaker 1: take a glass half empty perspective and say.
Speaker 4: Coach Bill South, you stubborn ass.
Speaker 1: But however you want to take it. What a great
Speaker 1: win for Kansas who really needed this. I think we
Speaker 1: all were kind of an agreement, you lose this one
Speaker 1: and now the season's really starting to go off the rails.
Speaker 1: They pulled it together and had a really nice showing
Speaker 1: and punched a team in the mouth whenever they were
Speaker 1: down for the count.
Speaker 2: Yeah, really nice outing from the Jayhawks. Iowa State shot
Speaker 2: the ball really really poorly, as we will talk about
Speaker 2: here in a minute, but Kansas played excellent defense. The offense,
Speaker 2: despiteal on scoring sixty nine, did look like it had
Speaker 2: a good amount of rhythm at times. Wasn't perfect by
Speaker 2: any stretch, but they played a really good against a
Speaker 2: really good team, and that is something that Kansas has
Speaker 2: not done a lot of this year, and they definitely
Speaker 2: did it here. Caam, what did you think of this game.
Speaker 2: Do you think Kansas is back. I'm not sure that
Speaker 2: Kansas is quote unquote hashtag back because I still think
Speaker 2: they are a team with a really high, stealing low
Speaker 2: floor and this does not fit outside of that worldview.
Speaker 2: But it is a really nice win and they did
Speaker 2: play well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure if they're back in that sense,
Speaker 3: but still it was a really good win. It was
Speaker 3: good to see number one play with a lot of energy.
Speaker 3: The play with Dwan Harrison diving on the floor that
Speaker 3: led to kJ Adams alley oop almost made me think
Speaker 3: it was twenty seventeen Kansas Again. Really good win. Yeah,
Speaker 3: will I think we'll learn a lot about this team
Speaker 3: coming up on Saturday in Manhattan. But again, they needed
Speaker 3: this win. The season seems to be back on track.
Speaker 3: Really good performance, but still really want to see more
Speaker 3: Floria Baduga.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the reason that they played so well in
Speaker 1: this game was their defense. They held Iowa State to
Speaker 1: just thirty one percent from the floor. Iowa State was
Speaker 1: three for twenty one, which is fourteen percent shooting threes.
Speaker 1: It does feel like more often than not, the Jayhawks
Speaker 1: are prone to a sub average three point shooting team
Speaker 1: going nuclear in their building. We've seen it many times,
Speaker 1: so it was nice. Whenever a very good three point
Speaker 1: shooting team had an off night, they deserved it. And
Speaker 1: that's what happened for Kansas here. Kay, you led fifty
Speaker 1: to twenty seven with twelve minutes left. So the actual
Speaker 1: final score and the three point numbers they were much worse.
Speaker 1: For Iowa State for most of the night, they actually
Speaker 1: scored what is that? What is twenty seven to fifty two?
Speaker 1: They scored twenty seven points. They scored as many points
Speaker 1: in the last ten minutes as they did in the
Speaker 1: first thirty Is that true?
Speaker 2: Ish?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they had twenty seven through the first twenty eight
Speaker 1: minutes and then they've scored twenty seven after that in
Speaker 1: garbage time. The Cyclones were one for seventeen to start
Speaker 1: the night, shooting threes. That is the fewest number of points,
Speaker 1: being fifty two, that a top ten team has scored
Speaker 1: an Allen Field House since nineteen eighty two. Is it more?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 1: The defense is really good? Or is it more? Or
Speaker 1: they got kind of lucky? Iowa State would not make
Speaker 1: anything all night?
Speaker 2: Oh Man in classic land and form, Yes, it is both.
Speaker 2: That's fair. They did play good defense, I thought most
Speaker 2: of the night. However, this this is a good example. Ryan,
Speaker 2: if you wanted a really good example of three point
Speaker 2: defense is luck this is your game because Iowa State
Speaker 2: probably isn't gonna do this the rest of the season,
Speaker 2: or atles not very commonly. And Kanas did get a
Speaker 2: little bit lucky that Iowa State shot the ball that poorly.
Speaker 2: Certainly Io State does not do that very much. But
Speaker 2: at the same time, I thought Kansas did play really
Speaker 2: really good defense and forced Iowa State into bad looks
Speaker 2: and did not let them have a lot of clean
Speaker 2: looks inside the arc. And that also is to credit here.
Speaker 2: So yes, I think the answer is both a thing
Speaker 2: can be two things.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Can There are top five defense on Ken Palm. So
Speaker 1: we knew that that coming into this game that it
Speaker 1: was gonna be just fine defensively. You didn't think they
Speaker 1: were gonna get blitzed for ninety points. And whenever they lost,
Speaker 1: then ames the defense did okay more or less. Two
Speaker 1: Iowa State made eight of thirteen threes in that game
Speaker 1: and still barely got to seventy at the very end.
Speaker 1: It was always gonna be a question of offense, and
Speaker 1: Kansas did Okay enough on offense, but the defense was
Speaker 1: extra smothering. I'm sure that that we knew by now
Speaker 1: that this team, if they're gonna win, they're gonna win
Speaker 1: with their with their strong defense. They're not gonna win
Speaker 1: ninety to eighty eight games. This kind of feels like
Speaker 1: the blueprint. If you want to see what a deep
Speaker 1: Kansas NCAA tournament run looks like, it's by putting defensive
Speaker 1: clamps on opponents like this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're definitely they have their identity now and it's
Speaker 3: probably not one that any of us would choose, but
Speaker 3: it's definitely through defense. Probably came down to you, I
Speaker 3: always stay, just couldn't make anything. But at the same time,
Speaker 3: Kansas played with a lot of energy. I will say
Speaker 3: every single time they lose in the NCAA tournament, it
Speaker 3: very rarely comes down to defense. It just comes down
Speaker 3: to not being able to score enough. Hopefully that's not
Speaker 3: the point, not the case this year. But we will
Speaker 3: see overall, really really good performance and it.
Speaker 1: Was good to see them some smiles on these guys faces.
Speaker 1: Bill self was all smiles in the handshake line, so
Speaker 1: was Flory, so was kJ guys that we he kind
Speaker 1: of wondered how much fun are they really having whenever
Speaker 1: they are losing heartbreakers and they're getting who knows what
Speaker 1: on their social media timelines. It was good to see
Speaker 1: them go out, have a lot of fun, play well
Speaker 1: as a team, and get back in the win column,
Speaker 1: because that's ultimately I know it sounds cliche, but what
Speaker 1: sports are all about are having a good time and
Speaker 1: getting your juice boxes after the game. So it was
Speaker 1: good to see that they did that after putting the
Speaker 1: clamps on a top ten team Landon. If you're going
Speaker 1: to talk about offense, I think you start and end
Speaker 1: with a guy who just continues to shoot the piss
Speaker 1: out of the basketball at Allen field House.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Zeke Mayo is sensational inside Alan field House. He
Speaker 2: had seventeen points in this game, six or thirteen from
Speaker 2: the floor. He made five of six threes at an
Speaker 2: eight rebounds, three cysts in thirty four minutes. Ryan will
Speaker 2: have to tell about this soul crushing alley up on
Speaker 2: Instagram later in the evening as well. Sounds I think
Speaker 2: you did tell me about it earlier. I can't remember.
Speaker 2: Mayo is shooting almost forty percent from three this year
Speaker 2: on six attempts in general, and at a field house
Speaker 2: he's making forty six percent of his threes, which is
Speaker 2: an outrageous number. Definitely a little bit of Advante Graham
Speaker 2: or Wayne Selden owed there where you're only making shots
Speaker 2: from three, as he was one of seven from two.
Speaker 2: Not great there, but hey, you'll take it when you
Speaker 2: hit five threes in score seventeen eight rebents to add
Speaker 2: he is he is a dynamo on offense, and you
Speaker 2: kind of take a little bit of bad with the
Speaker 2: insane explosiveness that he offers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Zeke Mayo is only shooting fifty one percent on twos,
Speaker 1: which that I say only because last year it was
Speaker 1: fifty five and it's dipped quite a bit. In conference play,
Speaker 1: Zeke Mayo shooting just forty seven percent on twos while
Speaker 1: shooting darn close to that from three. But the soul
Speaker 1: crushing slam on Instagram was some fans of ku account
Speaker 1: tweeted Zeke mayo stat line and somebody somebody commented, yeah,
Speaker 1: but can he do it every night? And the guy's
Speaker 1: profile picture was him in a boat die, and Zeke
Speaker 1: Mayo simply said that he needs to get some new fits,
Speaker 1: which I thought was pretty good, and uh, you know
Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna make five threes and then you
Speaker 1: can go out there and and throw down a nice
Speaker 1: alley oop, slam on, dunk it on someone's head on Twitter?
Speaker 1: What are on Instagram? What can Zeke Mayo not do? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Mostly may more than two twos a game.
Speaker 3: But I was gonna say, I'm hoping the answer is, uh,
Speaker 3: he cannot not lead Kansas to a deep tournament run.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and he's he's the guard though, right like
Speaker 1: we see it. If if you're told right now Kansas
Speaker 1: wins three or four NCAA tournament games, you're betting on
Speaker 1: Zeke Mayo doing the scoring to get him there, like
Speaker 1: in order for them to string together success. Yeah, Hunter
Speaker 1: Dickinson getting you buckets, Yeah, and you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: have Zeke Mayo getting you getting you three pointers on
Speaker 1: a consistent rate.
Speaker 2: Mayo absolutely has the ability to go full Malik Newman
Speaker 2: or Remy Martin come March. Oh yeah, he does, yes
Speaker 2: that in his game. Whether he can do that consistently
Speaker 2: has been a little up and down. But he absolutely
Speaker 2: can just go new Care for like four games in
Speaker 2: a row and.
Speaker 1: Take them Cam. I feel like that we got to
Speaker 1: talk about the kJ game, the chance, the Bill Self reaction,
Speaker 1: that was a big part of this game. Whenever you
Speaker 1: think about this game years and years from now, you're
Speaker 1: gonna remember it as being the game where k you
Speaker 1: students chanted we want Flory two minutes into the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I means years and years from now, I probably
Speaker 3: won't be able to remember much. I'm on the fast
Speaker 3: track two dementia slash Alzheimer's for my caffeine abuse. But
Speaker 3: kJ Adams returned to the starting lineup in this game
Speaker 3: about two minutes in students section chanted we want Flory,
Speaker 3: and all of the Boomer Jayhawk reporters their panties got
Speaker 3: into a lot over this comment and these chants. kJ
Speaker 3: finished with six points on two for six and three rebounds.
Speaker 3: He'll have the team with the five assists. He played
Speaker 3: excellent defense all night. He also finished off an alley
Speaker 3: of slam and what is definitely the play of the
Speaker 3: year for Kansas so far. The chants kind of were toxic,
Speaker 3: but I understand why because is a top fifteen draft
Speaker 3: pick and Bill self is stubborn and old.
Speaker 1: Here's my take, and then I'll let you two kind
Speaker 1: of go back and forth. My take on this is
Speaker 1: the chant was fine. You know, Bill Self can't have
Speaker 1: it both ways. A week ago he said that, you know,
Speaker 1: the students, the crowd just hasn't been what it usually is,
Speaker 1: or he made a comment eluding to that, and Okay,
Speaker 1: then the students come out and they chant we want Flory,
Speaker 1: and they show you that fire and intensity, They show
Speaker 1: you that they've been paying attention, and they show you
Speaker 1: that they are invested in the game. You can't then
Speaker 1: be like, oh, that's not how I meant that. Let
Speaker 1: him chant it and credits to Bill. They asked him
Speaker 1: about it after game and he said, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1: They can chant whatever they want. And he said I
Speaker 1: want to see Flory play more too. But kJ Adams
Speaker 1: played really well tonight, perfectly fair response. That was fine.
Speaker 1: I wondered if Self would get all cranky about it.
Speaker 1: Greg Gurley's speaking of panties in his wad. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: it was like somebody took a dump on his front
Speaker 1: porch whenever he heard those people chanting we want Flory
Speaker 1: early in the game. And yeah, I thought the chant
Speaker 1: was fine. I don't think it was this re respectful.
Speaker 1: It's perfectly normal to say we want to see our
Speaker 1: top fifteen projected pick who is averaging a double double
Speaker 1: over the last month play I don't know, Land, and
Speaker 1: what was your take? And also kudos to kJ and
Speaker 1: Florie who both responded with class and whenever they were
Speaker 1: asked about it postgame. They're clearly each other's biggest fans
Speaker 1: and they were happy after the team played well. Both
Speaker 1: of them played well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I like, this is just the nature
Speaker 2: of how sports go. You can have an opinion on it,
Speaker 2: like if you want, but like, this is the nature
Speaker 2: of sports and fans is that sports happen and there
Speaker 2: are players and there are teams, and the fans will
Speaker 2: develop relationships. And there's been a lot happening with this
Speaker 2: team to suggest that Florrie should be playing over kJ,
Speaker 2: as we have talked about at length on this show.
Speaker 2: You know, maybe you don't. You don't usually see stuff
Speaker 2: like that from student sections A lot. Student sections are
Speaker 2: usually like massively homery for obvious reasons and just kind
Speaker 2: of go with whatever. So that is kind of just
Speaker 2: like interesting. I don't think it's disrespectful. I don't think
Speaker 2: it's all that strange. You know, hopefully it doesn't create
Speaker 2: anything weird on the team. Doesn't seem like it's gonna.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's like a real concern at all,
Speaker 2: So I'm not very worried about that either. And to
Speaker 2: be fair, kig Adams was indeed really good in this game.
Speaker 2: He didn't do a ton statistically, but he played very
Speaker 2: well on defense. He did do the things that Bill
Speaker 2: self likes him do so and went like two for
Speaker 2: six from the floor, which is not good. But he
Speaker 2: did play very very well in Floory in the last
Speaker 2: couple of games, also hasn't played as well as he
Speaker 2: has in other games, so it's fine for kad.
Speaker 1: The reason he hasn't played as well recently is because
Speaker 1: he can't get in the damn game. He's played thirty minutes.
Speaker 2: A few minutes of but in the few minutes he played,
Speaker 2: he was much worse than kJ.
Speaker 1: kJ played well. But also, like I know, I'm struggling
Speaker 1: to not be too much of a box score merchant
Speaker 1: because I look at the box score and I see
Speaker 1: that kJ Adams made two baskets and had three rebounds
Speaker 1: in thirty minutes, and I think, oh my god, really
Speaker 1: that's why they're keeping fy on the bench understandably so.
Speaker 1: There were many moments throughout the night whenever Ku would
Speaker 1: have a guy and they would miss on their defensive assignment,
Speaker 1: and kJ was the one who would slide over there
Speaker 1: and offer that resistance that forced the bad shot or
Speaker 1: forced the turnover.
Speaker 2: We saw it.
Speaker 1: He handled the ball well, the assist, the passing was great.
Speaker 1: This was a good game from kJ Adams. I'm also
Speaker 1: not gonna be like, well, no wonder we weren't trust
Speaker 1: or we would trust Hall of Fame coach Bill self,
Speaker 1: the students or idiots whenever they're chanting. We won Flory
Speaker 1: over a guy that had six and five, six or three.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, a that that's.
Speaker 1: Two shows in a row that you've gotten me caught off.
Speaker 3: Look at me go by the way, guys, sorry, I
Speaker 3: didn't mean the interject. I went't mute there for a
Speaker 3: couple of minutes. Greg Gurley has a couple moments in
Speaker 3: his life where he remembers where he was when Magic,
Speaker 3: where he was when Magic Johnson announced that he had aids,
Speaker 3: where he was on nine to eleven, and where he
Speaker 3: was when the students chanted we won Flory.
Speaker 1: Have fun following that up when I'm not gonna try it. Hunter.
Speaker 2: Dickinson had a below average night Statistically, he logged four
Speaker 2: it's the best I got. He logged fourteen points, nine rebounds.
Speaker 2: You could argue this was his best game of the year. Defensively,
Speaker 2: I would argue that I think, as I always state,
Speaker 2: got absolutely nothing at the basket all night, especially with
Speaker 2: Floor not playing Dickinson being the single primary post defender.
Speaker 2: He did play well. Dickinson's primary opponent was Joshua Jefferson,
Speaker 2: normally been very good this year. He was three for
Speaker 2: thirteen from the floor in this game. Dickinson also blocked
Speaker 2: four shots. Flori only played fifteen minutes. He had four points,
Speaker 2: four rebounds, flour blocks. The blocks were really nice. He
Speaker 2: didn't play. I do think he didn't play remarkably well,
Speaker 2: but the raw talent obviously still there. He still got
Speaker 2: his four points, four rebounds, four blocks. He still will
Speaker 2: have a really nice draft Knight with the Pelicans in
Speaker 2: a year or so. But no Dickinson played Dickinson was outrageous.
Speaker 3: Dick General or play for the Pelicans, Uh, real.
Speaker 2: Question, I think if you were do you know the
Speaker 2: record of the Washington Wizards off the top of your head.
Speaker 1: Cam No, God, yeah, I saw this on sports there
Speaker 1: like a couple of days ago.
Speaker 2: Which or which Washington basketball team is worse is genuinely
Speaker 2: a question the Washington Wizards right now, for the Washington
Speaker 2: General nine and forty one, good.
Speaker 1: Lord, they have worse. They have less wins than Kansas State.
Speaker 1: That is correct in way wow games.
Speaker 3: Look at you Tank go guys.
Speaker 1: Who would have thought that wasn't true like three weeks ago,
Speaker 1: but now it is. Yeah, I would rather play. I
Speaker 1: would rather, if my abilities were there, play for the Pelicans.
Speaker 1: But like me and my own flesh right now, I
Speaker 1: would rather work at Dollar General than try to play
Speaker 1: in an NBA game. I would get very hurt.
Speaker 3: I mean, like Dollar General's a fine job until Bob
Speaker 3: Huggins crashes through the main window after twenty four medallos.
Speaker 3: But I feel like that's a safer bet for all
Speaker 3: of us that might be picking loser punishment by the way, folks,
Speaker 3: for all the.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the clock is taken. It's gonna be due
Speaker 1: on that one here in just a couple of weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Dickinson was awesome, Like I think it's time. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that Hunter Dickinson is rapidly catching up to Jeff
Speaker 1: Wiie in terms of defensive player type of status. But
Speaker 1: I think it's time that some of the Ku Twitter
Speaker 1: accounts apologize to Hunter for calling him the worst defensive
Speaker 1: player ever that seems really good on defensive's the man
Speaker 1: in the middle. Yes, he's just he's a perfectly fine
Speaker 1: caliberd of defender that has his matchup weaknesses. But calling
Speaker 1: Hunter Dickinson a defensive liability was always dramatically overinflated, and
Speaker 1: it's just simply not true.
Speaker 2: Not in this game. It wasn't he was. He was fantastic,
Speaker 2: and he's had stretches of being very very good on defense.
Speaker 2: He's he's been really good on ball defender most of
Speaker 2: the year.
Speaker 1: Lam And you picked Kansas to lose, which would have
Speaker 1: meant the end of a streak, But you forgot that
Speaker 1: Bill self does not lose on Big Monday at Home
Speaker 1: because he is now thirty eight for thirty eight, thirty
Speaker 1: eight no and Big Monday at Home, which is pretty great.
Speaker 1: And I think they're done with Big Monday games this year,
Speaker 1: so the streak should live to see another year. Let's
Speaker 1: look it up. Are they actually done with big Monday
Speaker 1: home games. No, yes, they are done. They have two
Speaker 1: more and they're both on the road. So that shit,
Speaker 1: they go Bill, year number twenty three, it goes Yeah.
Speaker 3: Sure, I forgot that. I could read callby Doug McDaniel. Roley.
Speaker 3: Griffin return starting lineup and scored only five points, going
Speaker 3: one for five from three. He played twenty three minutes
Speaker 3: and got wide open looks all night. Just a poor
Speaker 3: shooting night. He's still shooting thirty eight percent from three
Speaker 3: of this year. Aj Store played a really good first
Speaker 3: half screen eight points and seventeen minutes on three for
Speaker 3: nine from the floor, includes two threes sidebar. Anytime that
Speaker 3: aj Store shoots a three pointer, I just I heard
Speaker 3: him miss one in this game. It was such a
Speaker 3: bat brick that you could audibly hear it hit them
Speaker 3: on the broadcast.
Speaker 1: Here's my take on both these guys, Land and then
Speaker 1: it's all yours. Griffin. Glad to see that. Bill self
Speaker 1: realized that he should start. I said after the Baylor game,
Speaker 1: I think that he is gonna start every game in
Speaker 1: the rest of the year because it's just so visibly
Speaker 1: apparent now what he does for the offense. He gotta
Speaker 1: have two shooters on the floor. Curtis Townsend was on
Speaker 1: Hawk Talk tonight and he was kind of talking about
Speaker 1: that that decision was because they realize they have to
Speaker 1: have another shooter besides Zeke out there. Hmm geez, what
Speaker 1: took you so damn long the whole twitter? What could
Speaker 1: have told you that forever ago? But better late than ever?
Speaker 1: Griffin's here to stay and man like like this was
Speaker 1: a night where he couldn't get one to drop and
Speaker 1: he had great looks all night. Then aj Store it
Speaker 1: conversely felt like he played really really well and you
Speaker 1: look down and he has three out of nine from
Speaker 1: the floor. I know he made a couple threes. Both
Speaker 1: of them were okay, he gonna shoot that. Oh we
Speaker 1: went in okay, whow glad if it had bricked out,
Speaker 1: he probably gets binged caliber shots. Uh. I thought he
Speaker 1: had a good first half. But there just isn't I think.
Speaker 1: But the way I would assess aj Store right now,
Speaker 1: nothing happens easy for him. Everything that he every point,
Speaker 1: he scores, every rebound he gets, sometimes every pass he
Speaker 1: gets off, he has to fight through to almost turnovers
Speaker 1: to get it there. It just isn't coming easy for
Speaker 1: him right now.
Speaker 2: Yes, as I'm finishing typing a joke in the note
Speaker 2: that is for us and no one else.
Speaker 3: Incredible any Washington's playout, Guys, I'll talk about Fan.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Fran. Let's talk about Fran. You want
Speaker 1: to clear out of my space and I'll talk about
Speaker 1: Fran for a second. All right, let's talk about Fran.
Speaker 2: I would like to say Ryland Griffin. Uh, yeah, good.
Speaker 2: I like that he's starting. Uh he is still deeply inconsistent,
Speaker 2: but I'd rather start than not. You can not.
Speaker 1: He's a point shooter. He's not inconsistent. Are you? You've
Speaker 1: been doing consilt too much? He's a forty percent three
Speaker 1: point shoot for five.
Speaker 2: He does it a lot.
Speaker 1: Okay, he had he didn't shoot well in this game.
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean he's inconsistent. He's a forty percent three
Speaker 1: point shooter the whole year.
Speaker 2: Ryan, you are a box score merchant. I'm sorry you.
Speaker 3: Kind of are, actually, dude, I appreciate you as a
Speaker 3: human being, but man, you like box scores.
Speaker 1: He was a thirty nine three point shooter last year.
Speaker 1: How is he all? The only thing, more so than
Speaker 1: anybody on this team, has done consistently throughout the course
Speaker 1: of their careers, is Rylan Griffin has been a consistently
Speaker 1: good three point shooter.
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't disagree that he should be starting just
Speaker 3: because he's he's clearly the honestly the best pro prospect
Speaker 3: minus Flory Badunga. But he's not spectacularly consistent.
Speaker 2: Okay. Also, we want to we want a box score.
Speaker 2: Let's box score five points, eleven points, four points, seventeen points,
Speaker 2: four points zero seven two nine fourteen three seven two
Speaker 2: three ten. That's all the way back to Furman.
Speaker 1: Now hold on, now very good? Actually, now, the advanced
Speaker 1: analytics show that Ryland Griffin is a very good player
Speaker 1: on pace with his exact same metrics from a year ago,
Speaker 1: just a dramatically lower usage. So yes, his swearing has
Speaker 1: been up and down, but he hasn't been playing anywhere
Speaker 1: near consistent minutes in that stretch.
Speaker 3: Is this the same that claims analytics about Houston or Garbage,
Speaker 3: the same analytics guy, the same Ryan landerth underscore Landreth,
Speaker 3: this is the really time.
Speaker 2: Hey, key character trait you've honed in on Cam May.
Speaker 1: No, you know what, Sometimes you can teach old dog
Speaker 1: new tricks. Sometimes you can I what I never watched
Speaker 1: Ryland Griffin throughout the course of this season and thought, man,
Speaker 1: he just isn't as good. I thought, man, he needs
Speaker 1: the play more. He's very similar to the same player
Speaker 1: he was at Alabama, just on a slower tempo team
Speaker 1: and a team that doesn't play him as much.
Speaker 2: He does need to start. I do agree with that.
Speaker 2: Let's just be honest that he is inconsistent.
Speaker 1: You could say he has that the the points per
Speaker 1: game that he has scored has been inconsistent this year.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that his play is inconsistent as much
Speaker 1: as his usage is inconsistent, depending on whatever the coach
Speaker 1: feels like doing that day. Point is. I think over
Speaker 1: the course of this season, I think you're going to
Speaker 1: see all of that get a lot more consistent because
Speaker 1: his minutes and therefore his usage will take upwards.
Speaker 2: Also, though, here's the thing. In the month of January.
Speaker 2: In the month of January against UCF on the road
Speaker 2: to start the month, he went four to four from
Speaker 2: three in a game where Kansas won by fifty one points.
Speaker 2: He then proceeded to hit three combined threes in all
Speaker 2: other games except the Houston game, where he went and
Speaker 2: hit five. More So, in two games he went nine
Speaker 2: for ten from three outrageous, very good. In the other one, two, three, four, five,
Speaker 2: six games he hit three total threes.
Speaker 1: But you're also look at the attempts in those games.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of one, there's a lot.
Speaker 2: Of it's one for five for oh, one for two,
Speaker 2: oh for two, one for four.
Speaker 3: And in the same stretch for Arizona State went.
Speaker 1: In that end, in that entire stretch in in January,
Speaker 1: you can only the TCU game he took more than
Speaker 1: two threes. Of any of those games that you're referencing
Speaker 1: in Arizona State to one for four. For every one
Speaker 1: game where he took at least three threes, there are
Speaker 1: two games where he took two or less. It's a
Speaker 1: low usage rate.
Speaker 2: It is a low usage rate does have to do
Speaker 2: with this, I'm not saying that it doesn't, but still,
Speaker 2: like I think, to say that he hasn't been inconsistent
Speaker 2: is is a little is a little bit odd. Yes,
Speaker 2: he's there's a lot less than he was at Alabama.
Speaker 1: I will agree that he has statistically been inconsistent, as
Speaker 1: most three point specialists tend to be. However, I do
Speaker 1: not believe his play. I do not believe he's a
Speaker 1: good play. He's a good player, yes, Like whenever he's not,
Speaker 1: whenever the three pointer isn't splashing through the nets at
Speaker 1: an insanely high clip as it was against Houston and UCF,
Speaker 1: I don't look at him and see, well, what's that
Speaker 1: guy sniffing his own farks out there? For he's a
Speaker 1: competent player, regardless of the balls going in the basket,
Speaker 1: he shouldn't be playing.
Speaker 3: I do agree.
Speaker 1: I think he's been consistent, albeit the scoring outputs have
Speaker 1: not been which he plays a particularly uh he play.
Speaker 1: He plays a position and has a strength that is
Speaker 1: already relatively has a wide range of inconsistency. Right, A
Speaker 1: lot of three point shooters aren't going three point specialists.
Speaker 1: Isaiah Moss was like that, Jalen coleman Lands was like that,
Speaker 1: he'd have twelve points one night on him.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that the more Rylan Griffin plays, the
Speaker 1: more you're gonna see a really steady average of ten
Speaker 1: point games coming down the pipe. And on this team
Speaker 1: where you're a top five defense, you probably only have
Speaker 1: to target sixty five points a game and you're gonna
Speaker 1: win most of those nights. So if Rylan Griffin suddenly
Speaker 1: turns into a guy that can give you ten consistently,
Speaker 1: which you have to play him minutes to get him there,
Speaker 1: I think that raises the ceiling of the team immensely.
Speaker 1: Now we can talk about France. I hope let's talk
Speaker 1: about Fran because let me tell you, there is not
Speaker 1: a soul on this earth who sucks balls more than
Speaker 1: Fran for Scilla and his whiny, poudy nonsense approach. And
Speaker 1: then Fran has Rock Chalk Blog blocked. And I will
Speaker 1: say I have done my fair share of Twitter trolling
Speaker 1: over the years. Legitimately with Fran for Scilla. He slid
Speaker 1: in a rock Chalk Blog stems and would send me
Speaker 1: a winkie face several years ago every time that he
Speaker 1: would say something on the error that could be preceded
Speaker 1: as anti Kansas. And finally I said, why are you
Speaker 1: sending all these winky faces like you're kind of proving
Speaker 1: the point, and he blocked Rock Shock Blog. Then on
Speaker 1: Fran for Schilla's timeline after having a full blown orgasm
Speaker 1: over the missed elbow by Zeke Mayo on the court,
Speaker 1: and then so he stomps up and down and all
Speaker 1: that and just like, come on, you can say what
Speaker 1: you want. Is Fran anti Kansas? Is he not only
Speaker 1: he hates Kansas, but he hits a stick. It was
Speaker 1: a poor broadcasting performance. He complained the whole night about it.
Speaker 1: Then he gets in rock Chok blogs the ar I
Speaker 1: see on his timeline he posed the tweet that I
Speaker 1: stole from Cam saying that he's the Michael Jordan of
Speaker 1: bad basketball announcers, and everybody was saying it was pretty funny.
Speaker 1: And also the tech size on his phone. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: No wonder Fran can't see anything going on the basketball court.
Speaker 1: No wonder he can't see what a foul is.
Speaker 2: He's got like one step away from the Cam Newton font.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like okay, Uku fans give Fran
Speaker 1: too much? Yes they do. I don't think he vehemently
Speaker 1: hates Kansas. Was he was? He a little bit of
Speaker 1: a smart ass.
Speaker 3: All night Kansas.
Speaker 1: I don't think the underdog, which is normally not Kansas.
Speaker 2: Correct. Yes, that's the thing. I don't think he like
Speaker 2: hates Kansas by any stretch, but he does pretty clearly
Speaker 2: favor the underdog, which is almost always not Kansas.
Speaker 1: And he was fun.
Speaker 2: I don't need an announcer to favor my team. But it
Speaker 2: is no like I mean that's true though, like that
Speaker 2: is the case. He was miserable all night. That was
Speaker 2: the worst Friand for Scilla game ever. And also there's
Speaker 2: a lot of frand fatigue here. How many games in
Speaker 2: a row is that he did Baylor? He also just
Speaker 2: kind of a boring game caller.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, there's not he but but what makes
Speaker 1: him so irritating is the day before this game, he tweeted, Uh,
Speaker 1: he put out a tweet that said, I don't know
Speaker 1: why anybody woulant to be a ref because everybody thinks
Speaker 1: they know better than the officials. And then he spends
Speaker 1: the whole all night losing his mind every time that
Speaker 1: Kansas wasn't called for a foul.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't have it both ways there.
Speaker 1: Well, he's four foot six, he can't have it his
Speaker 1: way at the amusement park. He does that.
Speaker 3: He does remind you guys remember when we were like
Speaker 3: we lads, like little kids, and we'd go to the
Speaker 3: grocery store and you had like the penny horse ride
Speaker 3: at like the grocery store. You pop a coin and
Speaker 3: he kind of reminds me.
Speaker 2: Of that horse.
Speaker 3: He's like the same height. Yeah, like pop a penny
Speaker 3: in ride it for twenty seconds and you're like hell yeah, dude.
Speaker 3: And then that's.
Speaker 2: Basically saying you have an impulse to climb on the
Speaker 2: back of Fran.
Speaker 3: For Scilla, I'm not star I'd ride into battle on
Speaker 3: his shoulders. Dude.
Speaker 1: Well then so what then your eye level with the enemy?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: One, he's the one that takes the first shot that
Speaker 3: was stark.
Speaker 1: Fran gets a little overheted, and I do think he
Speaker 1: knows his stuff. There's nobody knows the big people is
Speaker 1: more than Fran for Schilla, but like, man, we've listened
Speaker 1: to him call one hundred plus games like it's it's
Speaker 1: also just a fatigue thing at this point, like he's
Speaker 1: good lord, yeah, yeah, whatever kind.
Speaker 3: Of get his bill basketball shirt and move on.
Speaker 1: Do love that you made a very very funny joke
Speaker 1: that's very not safe for work a couple of shows
Speaker 1: ago about that that I think about every time I
Speaker 1: see Frank Schilla now and it's and he once again
Speaker 1: then he then he with the Rock Chalk Blog tweet
Speaker 1: who he has blocked tweeted out, I hope Bill Self
Speaker 1: doesn't find out I hate Ku hoops, otherwise he won't
Speaker 1: invite me back to the Bill self basketball camp because
Speaker 1: that's all he has. Cam makes the joke every show
Speaker 1: tweets about, but he got the dates wrong. He said
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, being Lawrence in October, and then he
Speaker 1: had to reply to the tweets like, oh, it's actually in
Speaker 1: mid September. Like, man, fran he can't get that wrong.
Speaker 1: That's his favorite event of the year.
Speaker 3: That's all he has to live for.
Speaker 1: I love how people see that fran f Schilla helps
Speaker 1: out at bill selves fantasy basketball camp and that is
Speaker 1: synonymous with fran fra Scilla and Bill Self are best friends.
Speaker 2: Do you think fran Facchilla wants to kiss bill Self
Speaker 2: like a little.
Speaker 3: Bit, Like just a little bit, there might be an
Speaker 3: impulse there.
Speaker 2: I think that's not even that fran is gay, Like
Speaker 2: just do you think he wants to kissiself a little bit?
Speaker 3: It's it's only gay if he likes it.
Speaker 1: Only a TJ. Also Berger says no, oh yeah, I forget.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: In the points different agreements in the relationships.
Speaker 1: Then and Bill Self's agreement with the one Harris is
Speaker 1: you're gonna play a lot and nothing's gonna change that.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: But Harris played great in this game. He had twelve points,
Speaker 1: four rebounds, and four says. He only took six shots
Speaker 1: and was a perfect four for four at the free
Speaker 1: throw line. That's been a problem for him recently. He
Speaker 1: was really good here. Thirty five minutes for him. Shack
Speaker 1: Moore only played two minutes. He made an early three
Speaker 1: and that was it. They did mention this week on
Speaker 1: Hawk Talk that his foot injury has been giving him
Speaker 1: some problems. So maybe that has something to do with it,
Speaker 1: because Shack definitely hasn't done anything on the court that
Speaker 1: would warrant getting last minutes. David koy at what he
Speaker 1: assists and go go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go
Speaker 1: go ahead, and finish and then I'll do this. Quoit
Speaker 1: added three assists. He didn't score, he didn't shoot, but
Speaker 1: he played nine solid minutes. He was good on defense
Speaker 1: as well, good bench.
Speaker 2: Be's okay, what is going on with Kansas and injured
Speaker 2: players kind of playing but not really in there? Two
Speaker 2: hurt to play a lot, but not hurt enough to
Speaker 2: not play. What is this? Well, he just picked one.
Speaker 2: I think he probably is actually hurt. I'm not saying
Speaker 2: there's some grand conspiracy. It's just like, why why is
Speaker 2: it this way?
Speaker 1: Well, and then you also have to you well, then
Speaker 1: you also have how Bill self is very He's consistent
Speaker 1: with playing Dwan Harris thirty plus minutes a night, but
Speaker 1: then he says after each game, I shouldn't play Harris
Speaker 1: that much. I wonder if he goes into games thinking
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna play him as much and then he
Speaker 1: just doesn't trust the other options, or if Shackmore is hurt,
Speaker 1: because I would like Shackmore to get twelve to fifteen
Speaker 1: minutes a game without Harris to run the show and
Speaker 1: see what that offense looks like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Shaq Moore has proven he plays well. Whenever
Speaker 2: he's out there, he played, he's he played very well.
Speaker 1: Even Yeah, he's very good on defend player. He can
Speaker 1: shoot it a little bit. And yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but it is a good point. We saw it with mccullor,
Speaker 1: and we saw it with with various players over the
Speaker 1: years where.
Speaker 3: They might play.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: Remy was never hurt. And I can't believe that people
Speaker 1: really fell on that one. That's that's just that was ridiculous.
Speaker 1: In this game, Kansas forty seven percent from the floor.
Speaker 1: They made it even fifty percent of their threes, shot
Speaker 1: seventy three percent from the floor, and were plus one
Speaker 1: on the glass. I always stated had seventeen offensive rebound because
Speaker 1: they missed so many damn shots and thirteen turnovers. Overall,
Speaker 1: it was an even flip of the game that happened
Speaker 1: in Ames, where Kay, you lost by seventeen, now they
Speaker 1: win by seventeen. I think these are two of the
Speaker 1: best three teams in the Big Twelve despite their their
Speaker 1: at times. I guess Arizona's earning some Arizona deserves some respect.
Speaker 1: I'll make it a group of four at the top.
Speaker 1: These are two of the best four teams in the
Speaker 1: Big twelve. I hope we get to see him play
Speaker 1: a Round three game on a Friday night at the
Speaker 1: Big Twelve Tournament in the semi final round. But overall,
Speaker 1: they they both took each other's best shots and got
Speaker 1: each other at home, and they're both really good basketball teams.
Speaker 1: I think they're two of the best ten teams in
Speaker 1: the country, despite the records in the last few weeks
Speaker 1: suggesting otherwise. Great win for Kansas. Any other closing thoughts.
Speaker 2: It is a great win for Kansas. They played very well.
Speaker 2: Really nice to see them get a win like that.
Speaker 2: We didn't even talk about the kJ Adams al oup.
Speaker 2: That was sensational, really really hype moment. I'm not fully
Speaker 2: convinced that this just instantly makes Kansas one of the
Speaker 2: top ten teams in the country. I think individual game
Speaker 2: should be a little less like definitive statements on the
Speaker 2: season as a whole, even though I know that's like
Speaker 2: fun and I am very guilty of that as well.
Speaker 2: We'll see. I still think they're a high ceiling, low
Speaker 2: fuller team. Who knows. But this was a great win.
Speaker 2: This was the high ceiling. If Kansas can figure out
Speaker 2: a way to unlock this consistently, they genuinely can flirt
Speaker 2: with like being a top ten, top five team in
Speaker 2: the country. They can be very very dangerous come next
Speaker 2: month if they can figure that out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree entirely. I'm just still upset that the
Speaker 3: Lions aren't playing this weekend. That's all I have to say.
Speaker 1: Maybe just lose to the Chiefs anyway, Cam, you're just
Speaker 1: saving your ultimate heartbreak b ask RCB before we get
Speaker 1: into Big twelve games. Well, This is simple, simple enough
Speaker 1: at Ryan Underscore Landreth. Is Eli Manning a Hall of Famer?
Speaker 3: I mean, technically I think he's about to be it.
Speaker 1: No, not this year. He didn't make it this year.
Speaker 1: Maybe next year.
Speaker 3: Oh he didn't.
Speaker 1: He did not, And you know why he didn't Because
Speaker 1: he's not a Hall of Fame freaking quarterback. Because he
Speaker 1: is a lifetime five hundred quarterback who has never been
Speaker 1: an All Pro and has never gotten an MVP vote.
Speaker 1: Eli Manning is not a Hall of Famer And the
Speaker 1: only reason that we are considering it well because of
Speaker 1: two things. One his Crackerjack two super Bowl victories because
Speaker 1: of upon. The first one happened because because his defense
Speaker 1: was out of this world and David Tyree had sticky
Speaker 1: tack on his hands. The second one he did play
Speaker 1: legitimately well. But like, here's the thing, he was very
Speaker 1: mediocre for his entire career minus two super Bowl runs.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to downplay the importance of a Super Bowl, However,
Speaker 1: is two good playoff runs enough to vault you into
Speaker 1: a surefire Hall of Fame career despite being very mediocre
Speaker 1: the rest of the way, I say no. The only
Speaker 1: reason that we're considering Eli Manning as a Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame quarterback is because of his last name. If his
Speaker 1: name was Eli fark Turd, we would not be discussing
Speaker 1: him based on his statistics as a Hall of Fame quarterback.
Speaker 1: And one more fun fact if Patrick Mahomes. If Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes went twenty eight and ninety three the rest of
Speaker 1: his career, he would still have a better winning percentage
Speaker 1: as a starting quarterback than Hall of Famer question mark.
Speaker 1: Eli Manning. Absolutely positively not any arguments.
Speaker 2: No, sir, you have said only the truth about Eli Manning.
Speaker 1: I kind of look like I've been told I kind
Speaker 1: of look like a little bit, So I'm yeah, you
Speaker 1: don't see that.
Speaker 2: Adamantly disagree with that. I don't think you look like interesting.
Speaker 1: That's a Joshua Brisco take. He was the one who
Speaker 1: started banging that drum.
Speaker 2: Uh. You have like a similar nose structure, perhaps, so
Speaker 2: I could see why josh would.
Speaker 1: It's big. So Eli has a big nose, is what
Speaker 1: Landon says he has.
Speaker 2: He has a really well defined nose there.
Speaker 1: That's a nice way of saying big.
Speaker 2: It is. It is on the bigger end. That is
Speaker 2: decidedly true.
Speaker 1: Terrific at James D. Bedford. I'm betting my mortgage on
Speaker 1: the color of Tom Brady's tie on Sunday, and I
Speaker 1: know I can trust you, So what's it gonna be?
Speaker 3: Oh? My gosh.
Speaker 1: Also also from at capped Cable thirty three, what is
Speaker 1: Landon's address? Cam told me I'm supposed to move in
Speaker 1: with Landon after Arizona State lost me my house? Sorry
Speaker 1: about that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey man, I got a you can stay there
Speaker 2: for a couple of days.
Speaker 3: You got a roommate. Now that's sad.
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's tie will be silver, that's my prediction, silver
Speaker 1: and black because he owns the Raiders.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's a good call. Actually maybe it will
Speaker 2: be I think maybe maybe a pink.
Speaker 3: You know, just give me black tie. I don't care.
Speaker 1: And aising into the Big Twelve games recap at show
Speaker 1: Me Hawk to expand on my Big Twelve on CBS idea.
Speaker 1: They could treat the final Big Twelve Saturday like Week
Speaker 1: eighteen of the NFL season. We could have Kyvan Harlan
Speaker 1: call both games inside Alan field House. Man, when's the
Speaker 1: last time Kevin Harlan came to Alan Fieldhouse? I would
Speaker 1: love that it's been a long time. Yeah, he was
Speaker 1: on the mic for that. I'm sure he has. He
Speaker 1: does tournament games exclusively, I think, but yes, he would
Speaker 1: be infinitely better than that little hobbit known as fran Frigilla.
Speaker 1: Big twelve games. We got a lot of them, and
Speaker 1: they're not nearly as interesting as they were a week ago.
Speaker 1: Now I will read a score and you guys can
Speaker 1: alternate with analysis. We'll see if that helps a little bit.
Speaker 1: Number five Houston seventy two, Oklahoma State sixty three. That
Speaker 1: was closer than we thought.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but this is also how the Big twelve go.
Speaker 2: Sometimes Houston good team, Oklahoma State not. And sometimes it's close.
Speaker 2: But Houston has usually put teams like this just to
Speaker 2: bed and have done it quickly. So that's a look
Speaker 2: close than we thought for sure.
Speaker 1: See Utah. Yes, but a win's a win. They're ten
Speaker 1: and one. Number thirteen Texas Tech seventy three, Baylor fifty nine.
Speaker 1: Maybe no longer a secret cam. It's the best Big
Speaker 1: twelve team no one's talking about.
Speaker 3: Yeah. VJ. Edgecomb didn't play, but Texas Tech has now
Speaker 3: won nine of their last ten chance. McMillan had thirteen
Speaker 3: points and the Red Raiders made eleven threes. Watch out
Speaker 3: for them when they come to Lawrence.
Speaker 1: Who's the better team, Arizona or Texas Tech Texas Tech?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that probably isn't the answer, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: Arizona has a guy that at least can sometimes go nuclear,
Speaker 2: and I like their coach a little better too.
Speaker 1: Arizona hasn't made the second weekend under Lloyd. I guess
Speaker 1: they did. They did, They only did because of the
Speaker 1: TCU could I was gonna say catastrophe that also works controversy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then they promptly got ran by Houston the next game.
Speaker 1: Texas Tech, we're used to them being like this turnover
Speaker 1: four seeing like defense stallwart like they were under Beard
Speaker 1: and Tubby. But they're a really good offense. They have
Speaker 1: an elite offense, and they're more about outscoring you. Now
Speaker 1: under McCasland, I think that Texas Tech goes further in
Speaker 1: the tournament if I had to throw a dart, but
Speaker 1: I think Arizona has a better resume right now.
Speaker 2: Arizona is a stereotypical like if they're on they could
Speaker 2: go to the lead eight. They could also drop their
Speaker 2: first game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they look they continue to play really well
Speaker 1: in Big twelve Play number twenty. Arizona finally in the
Speaker 1: up twenty five eighty five BYU seventy four. Not everybody
Speaker 1: wins in provo. Good game for the Wildcats.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they opened their gauntlet of a back half by
Speaker 2: pulling away from BYU and impressive fashion down the stretch.
Speaker 2: They got eighteen from Caleb Love. Uh here is that
Speaker 2: backstretch though. The last nine games include at Iowa State,
Speaker 2: at Kansas versus Texas Tech, versus Houston, and at Baylor.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, out those five.
Speaker 1: Day they had a Tech or they had at by two.
Speaker 1: Oh that feels yeah, I think you had to throw it.
Speaker 2: Real shot at one and four.
Speaker 1: And they also have at Kansas State, who I know
Speaker 1: is not by any stretch like at Kansas State. Is
Speaker 1: the game after Kansas, which is exactly when you won,
Speaker 1: and that's next week, and that's that's no longer looking
Speaker 1: like a layup either. Bramwich is tough, and yeah, Arizona's
Speaker 1: gonna lose some games. Texas Tech has a pretty rough
Speaker 1: back nine two, but nobody has it worse than Arizona.
Speaker 1: So ten and one for now, that's with a buzzer
Speaker 1: beater over Iowa State. We'll see how long it goes.
Speaker 1: Hottest team in the land Kansas State seventy one, Arizona
Speaker 1: State seventy. Cam. You were the only one that got
Speaker 1: this right, but it cost you a few dollars by
Speaker 1: not doubling down on your original pick.
Speaker 3: Yeah. In a another edition of why you should not
Speaker 3: listen to rock Chok blog for any predictions party scoring events,
Speaker 3: Ryan promptly tweets on rock shock blogs main account.
Speaker 4: Hey guys, if you on free buddy device, put the
Speaker 4: mortgage on Arizona State binus three. Easy money turns out
Speaker 4: and he was wrong, just like when he predicted Billanova
Speaker 4: witched off state major political events or other sporting events.
Speaker 4: Arizona State, Yeah, Oregon two.
Speaker 3: We can just go down the greatest hits here again?
Speaker 3: Zaga never Hey game?
Speaker 1: Uh oh, somebody, that was the worst prediction of my life.
Speaker 3: That was pretty bad. I'm not gonna lie, but uh yeah. Anyway,
Speaker 3: Arizona State jumped out to you fifteen to zero lead,
Speaker 3: which made roan, which made Ryan feel really intelligent, only
Speaker 3: to fall behind me halftime. They did use an eleven
Speaker 3: to two run with two minutes left. Pole had briefly
Speaker 3: in this time, I texted the group chat and told
Speaker 3: Ryany sucks. David Engisan putting Kansas State ahead with fifty
Speaker 3: five seconds left. With just two seconds left, Jaden Quinn
Speaker 3: Tance was fouled and went to the line for two
Speaker 3: shots insure DraftKings sports betting fashion. He missed both. Neither
Speaker 3: looked like they had a chance, But I hope he
Speaker 3: didn't like your house. You were now homeless. Welcome to
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Kansas State in the last eleven games, the
Speaker 1: game before they play Kansas, right, you take their last
Speaker 1: eleven Kansas matchups. They are two and nine straight up,
Speaker 1: and I believe it was even worse against the spread
Speaker 1: in those games. So usually they're a safe bet before
Speaker 1: Kansas comes to Bramlege and this and this night though,
Speaker 1: it wasn't meant to be because Landon's most we all
Speaker 1: have this. This game is the perfect rock chalk flog
Speaker 1: trio of crap. I tweeted something stupid and was wrong.
Speaker 1: Landon made a crappy preseason prediction and was wrong, and
Speaker 1: Cam put much money on and was wrong. It is
Speaker 1: for all three of us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is really experience.
Speaker 1: Case State though, like kse State is four and oh
Speaker 1: in their last four games, they're playing a lot better
Speaker 1: and Coleman Hawkins has been the reason why he is
Speaker 1: finally playing like a two million dollar player. And yeah,
Speaker 1: they're they're playing well. This is not a great time
Speaker 1: for Kansas to go out to Brambleche. We'll see what
Speaker 1: we think happens. And then we have three crappy games here.
Speaker 1: Cincinnati ninety three, UCF eighty three. Oh my gosh, I
Speaker 1: hate picking Cincinnati games. I'm over picking Cincinnati games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, their offense normally sucks, though UCF does appear to
Speaker 2: be the team too. If your offense sucks, play UCF
Speaker 2: and you'll be able to work out your problems. Dayda
Speaker 2: Thomas led the team with twenty points as the Bearcats
Speaker 2: do get a.
Speaker 1: Win Utah seventy two, Colorado fifty nine. Cam They might
Speaker 1: be due, but they're still due.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Utah is hanging in there in their first year
Speaker 3: in the Big twelve. They're five and six after Gabe
Speaker 3: Mansen Gavin seventeen points. Colorado, who had my calculations, is
Speaker 3: overly due, is zero to eleven.
Speaker 2: More and more do one loss of time?
Speaker 3: Just wait, they are here for something.
Speaker 1: They might not win a big twelve game like they might.
Speaker 1: You see up at home that the shot game. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's gonna get worse. Actually games are Houston and Kansas,
Speaker 1: and I think Kansas is.
Speaker 2: On the roll.
Speaker 3: If well, they're not winning at Kansas, but they're gonna
Speaker 3: win something they have to.
Speaker 1: I mean here too. TCU sixty five, West Virginia sixty
Speaker 1: horn Frogs kind of playing a little better.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they close strong to get Jamie Dixon his
Speaker 2: five hundredth win and what his one thousandth game. That
Speaker 2: would make a lot of sense twenty two and eleven
Speaker 2: for Vase shan Lett. West Virginia will not have Tucker
Speaker 2: to rise for the rest of the year, but he
Speaker 2: does get to play next season. That's a tough blow
Speaker 2: for West Virginia team that at one point looks like
Speaker 2: they might be a really good team, especially if Devryes
Speaker 2: could return. Doesn't look like the season's gonna end up
Speaker 2: that way for the Mountaineers.
Speaker 1: Oh, but they should be very happy because that means
Speaker 1: that Kansas will have to go to Morgantown and deal
Speaker 1: with Tucker de Rye one more time.
Speaker 2: Eight for nine, three thirty points from the game is not.
Speaker 1: Gonna go well Kansas. Kansas hasn't beaten West Virginia since
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. It'll be at least three years whenever
Speaker 1: we get there. Yeah, that's that's not gonna go go.
Speaker 1: In the Big twelve, Houston and Arizona are ten and one.
Speaker 1: Right behind them and nipping at their heels is Texas Tech.
Speaker 1: They're nine and two.
Speaker 2: In fourth, Iowa State in Kansas both seven and four
Speaker 2: after the Jayhawks get a win BYU Baylor type for fifth.
Speaker 2: Behind them at six and five.
Speaker 3: In eighth place. We have illiteracy with West Virginia, Mormonism
Speaker 3: with Utah, Kansas State and Jerome tagger Con and Texas
Speaker 3: Christian University five and six. Yeah, agriculture and christ and
Speaker 3: Mormonism and illiteracy.
Speaker 1: The melting bottle of America UCF is by themselves. They're
Speaker 1: four and seven and in twelfth, which feels perfect for
Speaker 1: a team that just gets baptized every three games by
Speaker 1: someone that hangs one hundred on them.
Speaker 2: In thirteenth Arizona State, Oklahoma State, Cincinnati. They are all
Speaker 2: three and eight, but that's three games better than who's
Speaker 2: behind them.
Speaker 3: I'm so happy I get to read this one number
Speaker 3: sixteen Colorado, who, by mil my calculations, will be due
Speaker 3: anytime soon. Oh to eleven in parentheses, Ryan did right.
Speaker 2: But they're due, They've been, they are now, and I
Speaker 2: think they will continue to be due.
Speaker 3: They're so due.
Speaker 1: There are nine games left, and Colorado may, legitimately, in
Speaker 1: a sixteen team league, clinch outright possession of last place,
Speaker 1: like five games with five games left in the season.
Speaker 2: That is absurd.
Speaker 3: If you finish, If you finish in last place in
Speaker 3: the Big twelve, do you get relegated to the MAC.
Speaker 2: That's how college fastball should work. That would As as
Speaker 2: a soccer fan, I'm very in favor of pro ral
Speaker 2: in all situations.
Speaker 1: See like what we do with Florida whenever they go
Speaker 1: like a whole game making two threes, as we say,
Speaker 1: that's attorney band. But Colorado is not going to be
Speaker 1: anywhere near a tournament. So I think we just start
Speaker 1: relegating them to the MAC. I think that works. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Here is an ask RCB before we get into other
Speaker 1: games at let me cook. Do you think Margaret Thatcher
Speaker 1: effectively utilized girl power by funneling money to illegally paramilitary
Speaker 1: death squads in Northern Ireland.
Speaker 2: I mean as someone who has done vast amounts of
Speaker 2: research and is extremely educated on the geopolitical and not
Speaker 2: only to speak of the religious implications of the England
Speaker 2: Northern Ireland divide. I would have to answer with yet wow.
Speaker 1: And nineteen twelve, Jayhawk responded, I was wondering the same thing,
Speaker 1: which is my favorite response here. That's pretty funny.
Speaker 3: Love, I'm so stupid that when you read that question,
Speaker 3: I think you were speaking in Chinese. What just happened?
Speaker 1: I'll give you a question that that the three of us,
Speaker 1: much dumber people can can understand. At the Old Booth
Speaker 1: sixty nine? Why does the universe have the specific physical
Speaker 1: constraint or constraint constants that it does. I can't even
Speaker 1: read the question. I'm so stupid.
Speaker 3: I checked aft checked out after the word constraints.
Speaker 1: I can't just responded with the gift of Patrick and
Speaker 1: SpongeBob staring blankly in the space, which is pretty good.
Speaker 1: The specific physical constants? What are the specific physical constants
Speaker 1: of I'm gonna look this up.
Speaker 2: It's like what basically, so as as I am una
Speaker 2: bachelorly a Christian on this show, most people who listen
Speaker 2: for a long time, would know that, Uh, there's another term.
Speaker 2: Term for this being, like the fine tuning of the
Speaker 2: universe is a way people, and that's not They're not
Speaker 2: exactly the same thing, but they do kind of go
Speaker 2: hand in hand. I've done some I actually have done
Speaker 2: some research on topics like this. This kind of interests
Speaker 2: may sometimes. My response to this would be because there
Speaker 2: is a being that is outside of space and time,
Speaker 2: which may sound crazy something fair enough, you can have
Speaker 2: that opinion. That's totally fine. It's it's not the most
Speaker 2: like normal thing of all time, but I think it's
Speaker 2: I think it's the only way the universe can't exist,
Speaker 2: that there is something outside of space and time that
Speaker 2: is placed all of space and time in space and
Speaker 2: time has created space and time itself, and I think
Speaker 2: that person created the universe in a specific way to
Speaker 2: exist in a specific way.
Speaker 1: See Google says it's the speed of light, the gravitational constant,
Speaker 1: the plant constant, the elementary charge, the fine structure constant,
Speaker 1: and the cosmological and they all have a little Greek symbols.
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure that I'm sorry that just killed me.
Speaker 2: That's the greatest ideological I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 1: Such a good question, which you did at the Old
Speaker 1: Booth sixty nine. And then to really bring us back
Speaker 1: into the circle, not the circle of the universe, but
Speaker 1: you know, just a circle at K Tweets and News says,
Speaker 1: what is the worst condiment and why is it? Mustard?
Speaker 2: Must Mustard's pretty cool. Do you know how many.
Speaker 3: Weeks I've had ruined by having mayonnaise put on a
Speaker 3: sandwich that I didn't want it on?
Speaker 2: Mayonnaise?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the mayonaise take is going to really grind some
Speaker 1: gears on this show because Landon and Nick were Mayo connoisseurs.
Speaker 2: I'm a big Mayo guy.
Speaker 3: It's just like it's oil and eggs, Like, who, like,
Speaker 3: what are we doing?
Speaker 1: No Tweets and News. If you were an influencer who
Speaker 1: had to make an apology video, how would you do it?
Speaker 1: Terrell Owens, that's my quarterback style.
Speaker 3: No, I just apologize for to kJ Adams repeatedly while
Speaker 3: Bill Solf holds me hostage with a gun to the
Speaker 3: back of my head.
Speaker 1: And a few other groups that I will not specify
Speaker 1: for considering what I've had to beep out on your
Speaker 1: last two podcasts.
Speaker 3: I would go on apology arcs Landrith.
Speaker 1: Oh Man, that's so good. If I could tell anybody
Speaker 1: what happened with that, they see that, I can tell
Speaker 1: you walk away things. Landon did the thing you you're
Speaker 1: starting to do it too, wherever you're not quiet on
Speaker 1: purpose for a second, but then after like three seconds
Speaker 1: it does become an uncle at Kate tweets and news
Speaker 1: on a scale of flaccid too completely rock hard. What's your's?
Speaker 1: Iowa State team? Is Fran for Scilla's favorite? Oh Man,
Speaker 1: that's good.
Speaker 5: Well, I think it's so Uh. The the Fred Hoiberg
Speaker 5: George Niang Monte Morris team was a solid eleven thirty
Speaker 5: on the sixth twelve scale for Fran.
Speaker 3: At least I think this is this question.
Speaker 2: Uh, he's a couple pumps probably into this team.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm so uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Other games, the biggest matchup this week was in New York,
Speaker 1: where Eli Manning played not a Hall of Fame quarterback
Speaker 1: number twelve Saint John's took down number eleven Marquette and
Speaker 1: an entertaining seventy to sixty four win. The Johnnies are
Speaker 1: now twenty and three under Rick Patino, which is their
Speaker 1: best start in multiple decades. They also sit atop of
Speaker 1: the Big East with a colossal showdown at it should
Speaker 1: not be ranked Yukon team coming on Saturday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Saint John's good. Rick Patino may be too old,
Speaker 2: but he does have a good team there.
Speaker 1: Good coach, maybe the best x's and o's coach in
Speaker 1: this generation of college basketball. All he does is win
Speaker 1: wherever he goes. He has brought that team back from
Speaker 1: the dead and at the age of what like seventy two,
Speaker 1: still has people loving playing for him. He is. He
Speaker 1: is all you can say all you want about Rick Patino.
Speaker 1: From a personal perspective, I know there's a lot of
Speaker 1: issues there, But from a sheer basketball coach ability, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure there's a better one in the twenty first
Speaker 1: century in college than Rick Patino.
Speaker 2: A guy that has a lot of coaches ahead of
Speaker 2: him on the good at basketball coaching port Moser. Would
Speaker 2: you believe it if I told you that Porter played
Speaker 2: a really good team and got absolutely rocked, Because that
Speaker 2: is what happened. Yet again, this Oklahoma went down to
Speaker 2: Number one Auburn as a heavy underdog, and boy did
Speaker 2: they prove that correct. They somehow managed to do significantly
Speaker 2: worse than expected. They lost by twenty eight points ninety
Speaker 2: eight to seventy to a Tiger team that is as
Speaker 2: hot as it gets. And I mean what Auburn's twenty
Speaker 2: and one now twenty one and one?
Speaker 1: Yep I wrote that Porter I wrote that Porter Sniff's farts.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to say it, so irapis, but I'll
Speaker 1: read he Sniff's farts also oh and six against Bill self.
Speaker 3: You know what's here? Here, you guys go it' Speaking
Speaker 3: of farts, it's time to unleash the fact of the day.
Speaker 3: This is my this is my window. Did you got?
Speaker 3: We're you guys aware that farts have led to global conflicts,
Speaker 3: including an ancient Greece ancient eveypt excuse me, a single
Speaker 3: fart by a Roman soldier during a tense situation in
Speaker 3: Jerusalem is reported to have triggered a revolt against the
Speaker 3: Egyptian king a prieze, leading to significant unrest and bloodshed.
Speaker 3: So guys, just be careful the next time you're in
Speaker 3: a grocery store line, think about what can happen.
Speaker 1: How do they know that? How all those centuries and centuries,
Speaker 1: I mean, like honestly recorded history. Do they know that.
Speaker 3: You're kind of a legend, dude, Like if you let
Speaker 3: one out that's so foul that you dethrone a king,
Speaker 3: like you're kind of honestly, you're that deserves to be told,
Speaker 3: Like I hope I can hang a banner one day
Speaker 3: that says I dethroned the United States government by just
Speaker 3: dropping a deuce in the middle of a target.
Speaker 1: You know what, Cam, You know what, Camp, The fact
Speaker 1: of the day is a challenge for you because you
Speaker 1: have to find when to fart pun intended slip it
Speaker 1: into the show, and you managed to do an outstanding
Speaker 1: job with that. You also had to know at some
Speaker 1: point that farts were gonna come up on the show,
Speaker 1: because that's what the show is. Unlistenable and filled with fart.
Speaker 3: It's just full indigestion and diarrhea. Speaking of that, Rick Barnes.
Speaker 2: What can the big exact same political standoff? Or if
Speaker 2: there's ever a protest of any kind in your area,
Speaker 2: you have to go there and fart just see what happens.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm fine, honestly, you know what. It's it
Speaker 3: might be what I've been put on this earth to do.
Speaker 3: I just I'm still figuring it out. Speaking of being
Speaker 3: put on this earth to do terrible things. Rick Barnes
Speaker 3: and the SEC number four ten seed beat a beat
Speaker 3: number fifteen Missouri team in a high score in eighty
Speaker 3: five to eighty one. Game Number six Florida took care
Speaker 3: of Vanderbilt, but the big story was No. Twenty five
Speaker 3: old miss who stampeded over Number fourteen Kentucky ninety eight
Speaker 3: to eighty four. The Wildcats defense is now outside the
Speaker 3: top one hundred and ten pound. That's incredible. Everybody's still
Speaker 3: chasing Auburn in Alabama. Nobody else in this conference really matters.
Speaker 1: Yeah, at this point, Kentucky is horrendous on defense, as
Speaker 1: you just said, like it is just unfathomable to watch
Speaker 1: and Mark Pope, you know, he'll he'll get he'll get
Speaker 1: his feet wet at a at an SEC school where
Speaker 1: defense is a lot more important than it was in
Speaker 1: the WCC a lot of those years wherever BYU just
Speaker 1: flat out tried to outscore teams. It's not gonna work
Speaker 1: too well against you know, it'll work whenever Santa Clara
Speaker 1: and Pacific are on the other side.
Speaker 2: And now you got it right, which is why Kansas
Speaker 2: just annihilated BYU when they walked into Allen Field House,
Speaker 2: just hung a hundred on them and didn't look back.
Speaker 1: Dam yea oh man, that is that was Hunter Dickerson's fault.
Speaker 1: The highest ranked team to lose this week not named
Speaker 1: Iowa State was number nine Michigan State. Sparty trailed for
Speaker 1: most of the night at UCLA, only to tie the
Speaker 1: game late and then blow it in the closing seconds.
Speaker 1: The Bruins won sixty three to sixty one. That's two
Speaker 1: losses in a row for suddenly no longer in control
Speaker 1: of their own destiny to win the league, Michigan State.
Speaker 2: And that's because now leading the Big Ten is number
Speaker 2: seven Perdue, who won at Lowsey, Iowa ninety to eighty one.
Speaker 2: Also in the Big Ten, Number twenty four Michigan held
Speaker 2: off Oregon, putting the Boilermakers, Spartans, and Wolverines in a
Speaker 2: three way tie atop of the conference race.
Speaker 3: Number two Duke continues to run away with the ACC race,
Speaker 3: reaching twelve to zero league play after rolling Syracuse at
Speaker 3: the Carrier Dome. By twenty nine. They have a two
Speaker 3: game cushion on Louisville and Clemson after the latter lost
Speaker 3: a three overtime game to a horrendous Georgia Tech team
Speaker 3: also in the conference. Virginia is eleven and twelve on
Speaker 3: the season. They are a year one of their one
Speaker 3: thousand year punishment that God handed out with them for
Speaker 3: hiring Tony Bennett.
Speaker 1: Yep, yes, they are screw them and screw them hard.
Speaker 1: And what Cam wrote here, I ro also wrote that
Speaker 1: about Gonzaga, And what Cam wrote there is so brilliant
Speaker 1: and I wish everybody could see what he wrote because
Speaker 1: it is just poetic brilliance. Most Cam and poetic brilliance
Speaker 1: really go hand in hand. Like it's it's too bad
Speaker 1: that some of the things that you say truly cannot
Speaker 1: get out otherwise rock chalk blag gets shut down.
Speaker 3: I'm like a very misunderstood Robert Frost.
Speaker 1: It's just that's that that should be on your tombstone
Speaker 1: one day, Cam, did DePaul beIN?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: They did.
Speaker 1: If Kyle Neptune beats you in uh by double digits, uh,
Speaker 1: you have to shut down the program. It has to
Speaker 1: be over for de Paul because wow, just terrible. Also
Speaker 1: uh in the WCC uh loyal or who the hell
Speaker 1: is the leading the league?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 1: Saint Mary's is it? Oh Mary, they are. They lost
Speaker 1: tonight to San Francisco, So who knows what's gonna happen
Speaker 1: in that horrible league.
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: Ranked team to lose since the last time we did
Speaker 1: a podcast. We just told you that the highest ranked
Speaker 1: team to lose was Iowa State and they are number
Speaker 1: eight ISU losing bill to Jayhawks, Yes Bill.
Speaker 2: Number nine. Michigan State, they lost to UCLA.
Speaker 3: Number eleven. Marquette lost to Saint John's number fourteen.
Speaker 1: Kentucky didn't just lose, They got run out of the
Speaker 1: arena by Ole Miss.
Speaker 2: They were afraid of Chris Beard. Number fifteen to the Zoo
Speaker 2: lost to.
Speaker 3: Tennessee number eighteen. Maryland lost to Ohio State. Cams on
Speaker 3: the board on DraftKings for that one woo.
Speaker 1: And number twenty three Illinois, who's falling fast, lost to
Speaker 1: Rutgers and Indiana not a ranked team to lose, but
Speaker 1: they lost their coach, Mike Woodson will be stepping down
Speaker 1: at the end of the season. It's very sad for
Speaker 1: anybody who does not like to see Indiana win basketball games. Yep,
Speaker 1: we have a couple of ascars. I guess no, I
Speaker 1: just blow the airhorn. It's time for ascarcd. Alright, let's
Speaker 1: see here. All right, Well we're doing okay with time,
Speaker 1: all things considered, after a good Kansas win and lots
Speaker 1: of other games, so let's just rock with this at
Speaker 1: Ryan Underscore, Landrath. Who are Bill Self's top five current
Speaker 1: NBA players?
Speaker 2: Obviously, Joel embiid Wiggins is.
Speaker 1: Two, still in kick that down. Yes, Wiggans is still too,
Speaker 1: by a decent clip.
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 1: Then you go a lot of probably. I think you
Speaker 1: could argue Christian Brown. I think you, Dick. I think
Speaker 1: Grady's in there. I don't think it's definitely. Christian Brown
Speaker 1: and the Morris Twins are still kicking it.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 1: I think it actually it three, four and five right
Speaker 1: now in some order are Brown, Ubray, and Grady. I
Speaker 1: don't know which order.
Speaker 2: Grady is five right now for now, he's five. Yes,
Speaker 2: I think guy's having a good season. Christian Brown's averaging
Speaker 2: fourteen points and shooting thirty seven percent from three, also
Speaker 2: averging almost five rebounds in over.
Speaker 1: The Bray's probably averaging more than that, though, I'll be
Speaker 1: it on a worst team. Let's see, Ubra's having a
Speaker 1: really good year. Ubray had a twenty points a game
Speaker 1: season a couple years ago.
Speaker 2: Ubray is averaging just less points, also fourteen, a few
Speaker 2: more rebounds, a couple more minutes, and only shooting twenty
Speaker 2: nine percent from three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not the shooter that Brown is for sure.
Speaker 1: Grady Dick also is averaging sixteen points a game in
Speaker 1: his second year in the NBA, and he hasn't really
Speaker 1: found a consistent three point shot yet. He's a career
Speaker 1: thirty five percent three point shooter, which is I mean
Speaker 1: for the Grady Dick. We saw he was the best
Speaker 1: shooting prospect in the class, so you expect that to
Speaker 1: get better as he gets older. I think he's on
Speaker 1: his way to being an All Star. But Christian Brown
Speaker 1: is is. Christian Brown's already so much better than I
Speaker 1: think anybody really thought he would be in the NBA.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a legit starter on the Nuggets, who are
Speaker 2: a good team. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: Who are selfs best three NBA players if you look
Speaker 1: at their whole careers, it's still em beat in Wiggins
Speaker 1: one and two, and then I think it's probably the
Speaker 1: Morrises easily, uh, and then five probably Christian Brown. He's
Speaker 1: an NBA champion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not. See mkay Luke getting passed round to
Speaker 2: ten teams and making like two threes every three weeks.
Speaker 1: You know who's quietly though, who and I think some
Speaker 1: of us thought this would happen. But you know who's
Speaker 1: quietly having a solid NBA season is Jalen Wilson.
Speaker 2: He is he's legitimately okay on a truly atrocious basketball team.
Speaker 2: But he's not bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, doesn't help. He hasn't shot the ball well from three,
Speaker 1: and his volume is really high, but he's averaging ten
Speaker 1: points a game. So Bill self, it seemed like for
Speaker 1: a while he didn't have as much NBA success as
Speaker 1: we had thought. A coach considering his output into the
Speaker 1: NBA draft should suggest he's had some really nice ones
Speaker 1: in the last few years. Grady Dick and Christian Brown
Speaker 1: have really upped his NBA output by getting two guys
Speaker 1: that are that young and already averaging fifteen ish points
Speaker 1: per game. At let's see here, we've already done some
Speaker 1: of these. There's a really good question for Matt Berner
Speaker 1: Goff eighteen zero a zero two that has five different
Speaker 1: KU teams, and you have to answer which one is
Speaker 1: the best. We talked about that one in our group
Speaker 1: chat and on Twitter earlier. Go check that one out.
Speaker 1: It would just take us too long to analyze on
Speaker 1: the air at Show Me. Hawk kind of feels weird
Speaker 1: to be excited about Royals baseball this time of year.
Speaker 1: It's the first time that they've had real expectations in
Speaker 1: almost a decade. Do you think that they will be
Speaker 1: in contention for the Al Central title? No, because they
Speaker 1: had insane luck last year with injury health, and they've
Speaker 1: done effing nothing to make the offense better this offseason,
Speaker 1: aside from trading away Brady Singer for a second basement,
Speaker 1: the offensive or the outfield is still dreadful, and I
Speaker 1: don't think the rotation's gonna stay as healthy. I'm irritated
Speaker 1: they still haven't signed a big bat.
Speaker 2: Yes, correct, I'm not super super into the Royals all
Speaker 2: that much. They were fun to watch last year, so
Speaker 2: I don't have like crazy opinions, but I think everything
Speaker 2: Ryan says is probably true.
Speaker 1: Bobby went fun no opinion on this at Preston Skirsik.
Speaker 1: How sweet was it when Fran complained NonStop about the
Speaker 1: no foul call and then Zeke Mayo immediately hits a
Speaker 1: smooth step back three as Franis though complaint that was awesome,
Speaker 1: an awesome miss, and that really made Frank boring.
Speaker 3: Asket, wasn't that where he was like, see that was
Speaker 3: a five point swing right there.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's the exact quote. Yeah, he was. And then
Speaker 1: somebody in the student section zoomed in on Fran whenever
Speaker 1: they stopped, whenever the refs called the fallon Iowa State,
Speaker 1: and he like throws his hands up in the air.
Speaker 1: Was hilarious, good work. I see before the show, I
Speaker 1: was told I was going to get help reading.
Speaker 2: Oh hey, I got you from at Burner Gough eighteen
Speaker 2: two favorite most memorable Cinderella team in March.
Speaker 1: U NBC because they killed Tony Bennett. God bless them.
Speaker 2: Correct, that's a really good one.
Speaker 1: Uh not, sister Gene, tell you that.
Speaker 2: I liked the Loyola run. I know, Ryan can't get
Speaker 2: over sister Jean existing.
Speaker 1: That's a lucky run.
Speaker 2: They're all lucky runs. What are we doing?
Speaker 3: Yes, towards like a Night.
Speaker 1: Won the game by twenty Loyola needed two buzzer beaters,
Speaker 1: Like what is a factor here? Yeah?
Speaker 2: But that's what makes that fun is that That's exactly
Speaker 2: how that was, UNBC. That is like an all time
Speaker 2: sports memory for me. I watched that at your house.
Speaker 2: We did a.
Speaker 1: Podcast we watched that.
Speaker 3: I stood wine for Little Caesars or Hungry Hours how
Speaker 3: he is, I can't remember which one it was. Have
Speaker 3: like a free pizza promo of a sixteen seed ever
Speaker 3: beat a one I stood they did two hours the
Speaker 3: next day.
Speaker 1: I was thinking the other day that Perdue also lost
Speaker 1: as a one seed to a sixteen and nobody really
Speaker 1: cares because we just kind of expected that to happen
Speaker 1: to Purdue eventually. The Virginia one was shocking, like the
Speaker 1: Virginia game might be the biggest upset in the last
Speaker 1: ten years of all American sports.
Speaker 3: Oh for sure. And that team was really good too.
Speaker 3: That Virginia team was actually really good. But they're they're
Speaker 3: and style was terrible and just.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it pisses me off if that team responded
Speaker 1: by winning a title because I wanted that team to
Speaker 1: wear that forever. I wanted that to be what broke
Speaker 1: the camel's back for Virginia basketball forever, and instead they
Speaker 1: won the damn ship the next year. Not VCU, though,
Speaker 1: to to follow up what Cam said. There at Dick Underscore,
Speaker 1: Taser Rate, these places to watch the super Bowl, bar,
Speaker 1: house at the game, super Bowl party.
Speaker 2: Obviously it costs the amount of like a year's salary.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't think the game would be fun.
Speaker 1: I don't think being there would be fun. Like you
Speaker 1: just on pins and needles the whole time, watching your
Speaker 1: favorite team, knowing if they're going to make ten grand
Speaker 1: a waste of your night.
Speaker 3: I think that's true.
Speaker 6: Yeah, depends last year in a Yeah, I was at
Speaker 6: a bar last year with my girlfriend and then a
Speaker 6: couple of her friends or whatever, and honestly very overrated experience.
Speaker 3: It just was a bunch of drunk people and I
Speaker 3: didn't really care about the game.
Speaker 1: So one is SUPERO party at your own house. Two
Speaker 1: is super Bowl party, Three is house. Four is bar
Speaker 1: five at the game?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think that's right.
Speaker 1: I'm Wayne Kerr also says I'm going to be listening
Speaker 1: to this while doing a three hour pen to Pence.
Speaker 1: Why can't I pentathlon? Oh my gosh, I had it's
Speaker 1: five events, right, what is it? What? Let's look at up?
Speaker 1: Well Landon gets the next question, probably like a pentathlon,
Speaker 1: he said, So please make it entertaining. Southlong is fencing, shooting, swimming, riding,
Speaker 1: and cross country running. Wow, fencing is colport. That is
Speaker 1: a cool sport. Wayne is cooler than us.
Speaker 3: I thought it was gonna be like you got a
Speaker 3: churned butter, ride a horse, shoot an air rifle at
Speaker 3: a movie target. It's all a crossbord puzzle and then.
Speaker 1: The West of Virginia correctly crashing.
Speaker 2: That's what they're going to add in the Olympics next time.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, sport.
Speaker 1: It's a better Olympic sport than ping pong. Sorry, Nick,
Speaker 1: I know you're not listening.
Speaker 2: Bad take You might be from it at aj Stevenson,
Speaker 2: How bad would k you have to be? And for
Speaker 2: how long before you decide they aren't worth podcasting about anymore?
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a great question.
Speaker 3: One season of Mike Woodson.
Speaker 2: I'm convinced Ryan's gonna be doing this in forty years
Speaker 2: after Kansas has missed the tournament like thirty consecutive years,
Speaker 2: Number one and Rys it's going to be on next year.
Speaker 2: I swear, I promise.
Speaker 1: Hey, you know what, I think that honestly, some of
Speaker 1: the more fun shows we've had or whenever Kansas is
Speaker 1: for their standards bad. You are correct probably that that
Speaker 1: COVID year team was a lot of fun and that
Speaker 1: was the worst team they've had.
Speaker 3: I just would rather not have to watch that again.
Speaker 1: Really bad is the answer for me, Really really bad.
Speaker 2: Another one from at Chris Sirco two. It's you guys,
Speaker 2: meaning the I TP crew US three versus el Marco Jackson,
Speaker 2: Nick Timberlake and Zach Clements first of twenty one wins.
Speaker 2: Who wins them one zero?
Speaker 1: Yes, but had to and and like you could you
Speaker 1: could definitely we're losing in any scenario, and you could
Speaker 1: you could like say, what are the three players that
Speaker 1: you would not want to play against?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: And el Marco and Timberlake would be come to mind
Speaker 1: because they weren't good at Kansas, but they're superb athletes,
Speaker 1: Like we would just get they're good, posterize, yes they
Speaker 1: are really good.
Speaker 2: We would lose.
Speaker 1: I think the question's funny. Who do you think is
Speaker 1: a better basketball player at their collegiate peak? What we've
Speaker 1: seen from Nick Timberlake or what we could see from
Speaker 1: al Marco Jackson, Like it's it's an unknown obviously.
Speaker 2: I need you have to take the question mark of
Speaker 2: al Marco Jackson over the known nothing that is Nick Timberlake.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Timberlake is a disappointment. Man. That was so disappointing.
Speaker 1: Probably thought he was going to be so so good
Speaker 1: at Jayhawk Junkies. What is your biggest KU superstition? Is
Speaker 1: there a shirt you wear, a routine, a type of beverage,
Speaker 1: a special TV cam you feel like the most likely
Speaker 1: of the three of us to have a superstition.
Speaker 3: I don't. Honestly, I used to. I used to wear
Speaker 3: like a I got this Paul Pierce jersey ship, like
Speaker 3: straight from China. It was like bootleg, but it was
Speaker 3: kind of cool and I'd wear that every single game.
Speaker 3: And then it is lost in the Elite eight multiple
Speaker 3: years in a row, and I was like, that's not
Speaker 3: two in the tricks. So my superstition is now I
Speaker 3: just fire at bats some DraftKings and that's it. Honestly,
Speaker 3: I don't have anything. I really don't.
Speaker 1: I don't really have a superstition. Like ever, every year
Speaker 1: since I moved out of my parents' house six years ago,
Speaker 1: KU or the Chiefs have either played in the in
Speaker 1: the championship event. So I guess I'll just keep watching
Speaker 1: games away from my parents' house. That's superstitious enough and
Speaker 1: it results in success.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Notious.
Speaker 3: I don't have a good answer to that one, but
Speaker 3: I will tell you my superstition for inside the paint. Uh.
Speaker 3: If it's a night that doesn't involve anything of importance,
Speaker 3: the next day, I will have an adult beverage while
Speaker 3: I rile off terrible facts about farts, beaver antal glands,
Speaker 3: colossal poops and yeah, you know, good time.
Speaker 1: To break in this question, which is about fran at
Speaker 1: Elliott rus in h one, in light of what happened
Speaker 1: on Twitter after the game the other night, who are
Speaker 1: the worst non favorite broadcasters in college basketball? And why
Speaker 1: are the tough you Brian Hami and Fran for Scilla.
Speaker 1: All right, let me tell you real quickly. Obviously I've
Speaker 1: had some harsh words about Brian Haney, but I have
Speaker 1: absolutely just because I disagree with his announcing style, I
Speaker 1: have no questions about him as a person. Fran for
Speaker 1: Scilla just seems legitimately miserable. Like I wouldn't want to
Speaker 1: be around Fran at any given point. I don't like
Speaker 1: whoever the like bottom two teams that do the first
Speaker 1: round of the March Madness games like that just gets
Speaker 1: so old. I don't know that that Like, I don't
Speaker 1: really hate a lot of broadcasting teams. I can't stand
Speaker 1: Dick Fight Tel no more, please, I know he keeps
Speaker 1: trying too. No, no, we don't.
Speaker 3: He's annoying to me. Great guy, but really annoying. I
Speaker 3: also don't like Clark Kellogg.
Speaker 1: Yah, I see, I think that's an interesting that's it.
Speaker 1: That's at least it stands out take. He's all right,
Speaker 1: Like it's kind of like he's a robot, but he's
Speaker 1: he at least knows what he's watching. Dick Fight Tell,
Speaker 1: I don't know if he knows where.
Speaker 3: He is, probably not. He should run for a public office.
Speaker 1: Actually at the wheel reel too, Yeah, because today alone
Speaker 1: Pelosi walked out of the Capitol Building with a cane
Speaker 1: and McConnell was wheeled out in a wheelchair on the
Speaker 1: same damn day. At the wheel Reel two, what are
Speaker 1: some of y'all's favorite Kansas basketball sequences and plays that
Speaker 1: can stack up with the kJ Adams dung so in
Speaker 1: Bramleage A couple of years or like seven years ago
Speaker 1: at this point, Frank Mason had a play wherever he
Speaker 1: had a shot blocked on the on end ye, and
Speaker 1: then he ran ninety four feet back across to block
Speaker 1: the shot on the other end. And it was insane.
Speaker 3: I do remember like fly out of bounds or something
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 1: Yep, into the chairs, yep. And coolest play I've ever
Speaker 1: seen an Allen Field House live was Thomas Robinson's alley
Speaker 1: up against Baylor.
Speaker 2: That's rad Oachi. I was in person Oachi hitting a
Speaker 2: three to send it to double overtime against Texas Tech
Speaker 2: a couple seasons ago. That was really rad. That's a
Speaker 2: great one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was. And then I mean there Bill, there
Speaker 1: was a play against Texas in twenty fifteen where there
Speaker 1: were like six different dive on the floor after a
Speaker 1: loose ball play and in a short amount of time
Speaker 1: that ended with an and one for Kansas, and Bill
Speaker 1: self was like pumping his fist the whole time, Like
Speaker 1: speaking of six to twelve. That's one that I remember
Speaker 1: as just just popping out.
Speaker 2: The West Virginia comeback where Carlton Brag of all people
Speaker 2: like dove on the floor for a ball, passed it out. Yeah,
Speaker 2: ball gets to Devonte Grammy dribbles pulls up three knocks
Speaker 2: it down and the comeback continues.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is that when Josh Jackson got an assist from
Speaker 1: his ass Yes? Yeah, yes, yeah remember that play? That
Speaker 1: was good. That was a wild game at Mayo Zeke Berner.
Speaker 1: Why did they ever move away from Ryland starting because
Speaker 1: Bill self and it was stupid. We told you that
Speaker 1: then and we told you that now. Glad to see
Speaker 1: that certain accounts have have always been right on that
Speaker 1: cam to your credit at show Me, Hawk says this
Speaker 1: podcast would be far angrier if Mike Woodson was KU's coach.
Speaker 2: Uh huh accurate?
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I just they would be. Yeah, it'd lead
Speaker 3: to substance abuse and probably me quitting.
Speaker 1: Did we get them all landing? Anything else?
Speaker 2: I think there's at Danish Danny Boy, would you rather
Speaker 2: go on a date to the Wheel with at the
Speaker 2: Real Wheel two or go with kJ Adams protect me?
Speaker 1: The Wheel Wheel two made me think Doug McDaniel's a
Speaker 1: litter and I'll give him a chance.
Speaker 3: That's so funny. Yeah, you won my heart for that one, dude.
Speaker 2: This is very fair.
Speaker 1: Was outstanding. We did it. We successfully went through all
Speaker 1: of the ascarcbs in time to preview. You know you
Speaker 1: know what's coming, all right, guess what happens on Saturday
Speaker 1: Number sixteen, Kansas at Kansas date on Saturday, February eighth,
Speaker 1: at one o'clock on ESPN, day before the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: And boy is it gonna feel well, it'll feel like
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl for some of them in Manhattan, Kansas.
Speaker 2: It's gonna have to because the k State Wildcats are
Speaker 2: one of the most disappointing teams in the country but
Speaker 2: also somehow one of the hottest. Right now, they're eleven
Speaker 2: and eleven, which is out really atrocious, but they've won
Speaker 2: four in a row, bringing their conference record up to
Speaker 2: five and six, and one of those wins was a
Speaker 2: like nineteen point drubbing of Iowa State, So anything can happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kansas State has a smaller than usual starting five
Speaker 3: to see six nine two hundred twenty pounds. David in
Speaker 3: Ghassan lead the squad with thirteen points sevent rebounds. He
Speaker 3: shoots sixty four percent. He uses his athleticism to draw
Speaker 3: free point contact, though he's a sub sixty percent free
Speaker 3: throw shooter. Next to him is four men Coleman Hawkins,
Speaker 3: who's played much better as of late, directly leading the
Speaker 3: team to improved output. Hawks averages eleven, seven and five
Speaker 3: and flirted with a triple double Inflawrence.
Speaker 1: The backcourt has potentially illiterate point guard Doug McDaniel and
Speaker 1: his ten points not a good three points definitely allegedly
Speaker 1: not a good three point shooter, but he drives to
Speaker 1: the cup pretty well because he doesn't drive his pencil
Speaker 1: into those SAT exams, especially not the reading portion. White
Speaker 1: guy of the Game candidate, this is probably gonna be
Speaker 1: the guy that decides the game. Brendan Halsen is a
Speaker 1: six to four guard that has turned into one of
Speaker 1: the best three point shooters in the Big Twelve. He's
Speaker 1: really come on strong this year, averaging twelve points and
Speaker 1: shooting north of forty percent that is forty two percent
Speaker 1: from three ode to Will Spradling. We know that he's
Speaker 1: gonna put a few in the basket this weekend. CJ.
Speaker 1: Jones Max Jones, who has a colossal tattoo of who
Speaker 1: I'm assuming is his grandma on his bicep, an old
Speaker 1: lady's face on his arm, and I'm not kidding. It
Speaker 1: is a massive fortrait. So that's how I know that's
Speaker 1: that's who that is. And micauleieb Rich all get reserve
Speaker 1: minutes on a deep but haven't geled that well until recently.
Speaker 1: At least Kansas State roster.
Speaker 2: The Wildcats' best metric is their passing numbers. They protect
Speaker 2: the ball and they run opponents off the three point
Speaker 2: line pretty well. They have decent defensive numbers typically avoid
Speaker 2: foul trouble. Offensively, what started as a horror show is
Speaker 2: slowly getting better along with you know, the couple of
Speaker 2: their best players are also slowly getting better, as they
Speaker 2: shoot forty five percent from the floor, barely thirty five
Speaker 2: percent from three. They're barely in the top three hundred
Speaker 2: rebounding with the exception of Gassan. Nobody consistently draws fouls either,
Speaker 2: so don't expect case State to score a ton of points,
Speaker 2: even though that is trending in the right direction, and
Speaker 2: they have put up some good numbers recently.
Speaker 3: All time, Bill self is fourteen and seven at Bramwich Coliseum,
Speaker 3: but he started nine to one and he's just five
Speaker 3: and six in his last eleven trips there. But over
Speaker 3: the last decade, Kansas is three and zero there when
Speaker 3: the game is played on Saturday. Verse three and six
Speaker 3: when it's on weekdays.
Speaker 1: How about that. That's Rock Chuck Blog just autistically knowing stats.
Speaker 1: That's how I knew that. I didn't have to look
Speaker 1: that up. Yeah, that's just called Ryan. On this show.
Speaker 1: I try to get Land and to go to this game,
Speaker 1: and then we looked at ticket prices and realized, oh wow,
Speaker 1: they really do only care about one game. Come on, Land,
Speaker 1: and you're telling me that you wouldn't want to go
Speaker 1: and pump your fist as hard as you can tell.
Speaker 2: I am gonna pass. Actually I need to save money.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, all right, well we can save money.
Speaker 1: But will the Jayhawks be saving a win after Saturday? Cam,
Speaker 1: you said on the last show that you were gonna
Speaker 1: pick them to lose this game. Have you changed your tune?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I have. Shockingly, Kansas wins sixty nine nice to
Speaker 3: sixty three. I probably will be so wrong with this pick,
Speaker 3: but hey, I hope I'm right.
Speaker 1: I'm not going that.
Speaker 2: I think Kansas win in a close game. I'll say
Speaker 2: Jayhawks seventy to sixty six. Do not think this is
Speaker 2: a pretty game. I think they do just enough. I
Speaker 2: think k State genuinely gives them a real run. Here
Speaker 2: now because Kansas is bad. This is a tough environment.
Speaker 2: Case State is hot, I think they are going to
Speaker 2: give them a real shot. Wouldn't even be shocked to
Speaker 2: see k State win because that's just how this might
Speaker 2: go this year. But I do think KU escapes to win.
Speaker 2: They should be the better team, even though k State
Speaker 2: is surgeon.
Speaker 1: Rivalry games are weird. Right On one hand, I want
Speaker 1: to say that Kansas State has the upper hand in
Speaker 1: these games because they care about it more than anybody
Speaker 1: else and they're coming in hot. On the other hand,
Speaker 1: they're eleven and eleven and Kansas is due for some
Speaker 1: good fortune here. They haven't had a lot of success
Speaker 1: in end of game situations, and a lot of that's
Speaker 1: their own fault. But over the course of a big
Speaker 1: sample size, you are going to see a team that
Speaker 1: is consistently overachieving or underachieving. Rather according to the computers,
Speaker 1: this is a top seven to ten by a lot
Speaker 1: of the computer metrics, and Kansas State just isn't. Even
Speaker 1: after their winning streak, Kansas State is still outside the
Speaker 1: top sixty on Ken Palm. This is seven versus sixty
Speaker 1: two on Ken Pom. If you trust the computers, you
Speaker 1: should say this is whenever both of those start to
Speaker 1: rise back to where they relatively should be and Kansas wins.
Speaker 1: If you value rivalry games and hard environments to win in,
Speaker 1: you should think Kansas State has a real chance here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna side with the computers. I think that Kansas
Speaker 1: wins by more than the spread indicates Kansas seventy two
Speaker 1: Kansas State sixty. I think the Jayhawks win a game
Speaker 1: that is more or less in control of the second
Speaker 1: half because they are not, to quote Camon say they're due,
Speaker 1: but if you believe that they are the top ten
Speaker 1: team that the computers say they are, they are bound
Speaker 1: to have some better fortune down the stretch of some
Speaker 1: of these games. And Kansas State, as good as their
Speaker 1: last couple weeks have been, that one win in Iowa
Speaker 1: State being a humongous outlier. Right now, there is nothing
Speaker 1: that we've seen from Kansas State this year that would
Speaker 1: make us think that Kansas not only should lose this game,
Speaker 1: but should win by less than a handful. It should
Speaker 1: be a Kansas win, and if it's not, it's more
Speaker 1: troubling than both Baylor and Houston's losses were. As weird
Speaker 1: as that is to say, other games in the Big twelve.
Speaker 1: TCU at number eight Iowa State. Not going with the
Speaker 1: Cyclones to lose a fourth straight, correct, yep. UCF at
Speaker 1: Baylor Boy Baylor wins the games they should win. I
Speaker 1: guess that means they'll win this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and their offense will probably look pretty good doing it.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: Number five Houston at winless Colorado. These teams are combined
Speaker 1: eleven and thirteen or eleven and twelve or whatever that
Speaker 1: is in conference games. Pretty even matchup, right.
Speaker 2: The Kuks.
Speaker 3: I want to pick Colorado for fun, but I'm not
Speaker 3: going to give me Houston.
Speaker 1: Houston has just slept through like the second half against
Speaker 1: Tech and then they really screwed around with Oklahoma State.
Speaker 1: This feels like when they just sit on a team.
Speaker 1: They're up like twenty to four and it's just over
Speaker 1: like that. Utah at Western Virginia. This feels like a
Speaker 1: potential trap spot for the Mountaineers. But they've lost a couple.
Speaker 1: I'll say they refocus.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in Utah has been better than expected, but not
Speaker 2: good by any stretch, So I'll take West Virginia as well.
Speaker 3: Yep. Same.
Speaker 1: My prediction with Utah is you see them really tank
Speaker 1: the last few games here. They are not used to
Speaker 1: this sort of grind. They've kind of played over their head.
Speaker 1: I could see a scenario where they lose like seven
Speaker 1: or eight in a row here to end things BYU
Speaker 1: at Cincinnati. Oh my gosh, I don't want to pick
Speaker 1: another Cincinnati game, but here I am. Give me the Bearcats.
Speaker 2: Same got to sure?
Speaker 3: Why not?
Speaker 1: Number thirteen Texas Tech at number twenty Arizona two teams
Speaker 1: that I think are due to lose. I will take
Speaker 1: Wildcats at the Kale Center. I guess.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Give me the home team in a high scoring affair.
Speaker 3: Give me Texas attack.
Speaker 1: Arizona State at Oklahoma State. Nobody wants to pick this game.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to watch it, but I guess a few
Speaker 1: empty seats still will Cowboys at home?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 3: Give me Arizona State.
Speaker 1: And other games. Number twelve Saint John's first play Saint
Speaker 1: John's on the road. At number nineteen, Yukon. Do they
Speaker 1: take down the defending champs?
Speaker 2: They do? Rick Patino out classes somehow, somehow, Rick Patino
Speaker 2: outclasses a head coach. He outclasses hurly.
Speaker 3: They do not give me you gun?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Yukun wins. I think this is the
Speaker 1: this is the just the I almost did it Land,
Speaker 1: and I get where you're coming from with it. Number
Speaker 1: four Tennessee at Oklahoma. Not picking the upset here Vols big, yep, yep, same.
Speaker 1: I keep putting Oklahoma games in here, trying to get
Speaker 1: anybody to take the bait, but no one does. Number
Speaker 1: twenty four Michigan at the recently found out they're gonna
Speaker 1: have a new coach Indiana. I say it fires them up,
Speaker 1: and the Hoosiers a dub.
Speaker 2: I agree. Tough place to play.
Speaker 3: I actually actually am gonna agree there.
Speaker 1: Number eleven Marquette at Creighton. Creighton's had it a good year.
Speaker 1: I think that they win this one.
Speaker 2: I do too.
Speaker 3: Sure.
Speaker 1: Number ten Texas A and M. At number fifteen Missouri,
Speaker 1: are you feeling the Tigers?
Speaker 2: I am?
Speaker 3: I think so too.
Speaker 1: This is the spot where I'm gonna pick Missouri to
Speaker 1: cool off a little bit. I will take the Aggies
Speaker 1: on the roads. Number two Dukes still undefeated at Clemson,
Speaker 1: who is in second place? Is it enough?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: Clemson gets them?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 3: I don't think so, Duke.
Speaker 1: I mean, eventually they're gonna trip up. But like it's
Speaker 1: you're not gonna pick it. Unless you're Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: Duke wins. Clemson's not any good. They lost that game
Speaker 1: in three overtimes because they were looking ahead to it though,
Speaker 1: so maybe it makes sense. And number three Alabama at Arkansas.
Speaker 1: John Calipari's team is starting to turn some heads a
Speaker 1: little bit.
Speaker 2: I say they win, Alabama puts up an Nbasque number
Speaker 2: and wins.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm taking Bama.
Speaker 1: Bama or Arkansas just won at Texas, so they've won
Speaker 1: two road games in a row. Coming home and Texas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: Don't don't let John Caliperry get hot now, don't let
Speaker 1: it happen. Okay, So when are we recording this next show?
Speaker 1: Because it ain't gonna be during the super Bowl.
Speaker 2: That is correct. We'll figure it out Sunday. We'll text
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 1: We have got to get a show out in the
Speaker 1: nick of time before Colorado comes in here on Tuesday night,
Speaker 1: though maybe during a snowstorm.
Speaker 2: Can be pining for us to pick all.
Speaker 3: Two people that care about that show will listen.
Speaker 1: If Colorado at Kansas was played one hundred times, how
Speaker 1: many times would Kansas lose?
Speaker 3: Zero three?
Speaker 1: I think I think it. I think it's closing. It's
Speaker 1: closer to zero than three.
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, that's probably true. They would they would more.
Speaker 2: I think maybe two is the answer.
Speaker 1: Like in this scenario, are we like because if it's
Speaker 1: like a hundred game series, Colorado's gonna figure some things out,
Speaker 1: Like by game sixty three of the series, when they're
Speaker 1: ohing sixty two, they will figure out that kJ Adams
Speaker 1: can't shoot, so just.
Speaker 2: Don't guard him.
Speaker 1: But like, if you're truly randomizing this game a one
Speaker 1: hundred times, I don't know if they win any of.
Speaker 2: Them they'd get they'd get they'd get one or two,
Speaker 2: but it's not much.
Speaker 3: They'd be gae.
Speaker 1: Watch them win anyway. Maybe two. Well, they've lost the
Speaker 1: first twelve, so they only have eighty eight more to go.
Speaker 1: This is inside the Paint on Rock Chalk Blog.
Speaker 2: I'm Ryan Lander, I'm Landing Fields.
Speaker 3: And I'm Cam.
Speaker 1: All right, good night to all of you, and good
Speaker 1: night to Cam's fart joke of the day.
