WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.320 Okay, So I'm very intrigued by this because obviously we 2 00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:07.000 know we saw Kansas beat North Carolina State. It was 3 00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:09.400 a while ago. We're gonna talk about it. It was 4 00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:13.119 interesting enough, and it was uninteresting enough whatever. Lots of 5 00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:16.280 carnage and college basketball. We'll talk about that, and we'll 6 00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:19.079 talk about the Titanic clash that's taking place at Allen 7 00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:23.000 Field House between Kansas and the Brown Bears, which is 8 00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:25.640 a uh yeah, get get get the get get your 9 00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.600 your DVR set for that one to rewatch it. 10 00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:32.039 We're uh, we're gonna get the answer. Do bears poop 11 00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:34.079 in the woods? Because if they don't, it's gonna be 12 00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:34.960 a Allen Field House. 13 00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:39.000 I saw that whenever I saw their name was the Bears, 14 00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.880 and I thought, oh, that's about Cam's fact of the day. 15 00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:44.560 So Cam, what I think you should do if you 16 00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:46.799 ever run out of facts of the day, I think 17 00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:49.479 you should just look at who they play next. Oh okay, 18 00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:51.079 all right, all right, Well in that case, I want 19 00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:53.079 you to open with one. I want you to let 20 00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.560 it rip now because I don't have anything funny or 21 00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.399 humorous or there are no sad landings in the notes 22 00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:00.320 today because they won last week. 23 00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.439 They did win last week, kind of like robots. Speaking 24 00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:05.439 of robots, here's your crazy factor of the day. Back 25 00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:09.599 in twenty eighteen, they sent a robot down the rabbit 26 00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.200 holes of Reddit, and they gave it the task of 27 00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:15.359 learning from the darkest corners of Reddit, and it went 28 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.760 about as poorly as you guys can imagine. The robot 29 00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:22.120 became psychopathic and came out with a very dark sided 30 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:25.280 and twisted view of society and wanted to eliminate humans, 31 00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:28.359 eradicate them, and basically came out saying there's no hope. 32 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:31.040 Oh well that and. 33 00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:34.200 We now from how I feel when I go on Reddit. 34 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:36.879 Yeah, we now turn it. 35 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.519 Over to Chief Correspondent Land and Fields, whose favorite thing 36 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.719 in life is Ai Land in your thoughts. 37 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.719 Yes, robot overlords, listening to this in the year twenty 38 00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:50.560 thirty nine, I do not rescind my statement that you 39 00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:52.400 should be thrown in a lock box to the bottom 40 00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:56.040 of the Marianna's trench. Officially. Oh take yikes. 41 00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:57.920 All right, Well, I gotta plug in the speaker so 42 00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.879 the soundboard work, so you guys talk among yourselves. This 43 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:02.840 is the Inside the Paint podcast on Rock Chuck Blog. 44 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:03.640 I'm Ryan Landrath. 45 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:06.760 I'm landing fields currently being hunted by AI in the 46 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:07.920 year twenty thirty nine. 47 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.879 And I'm every farmer from Kansas State area that's been 48 00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.840 ripped off by their NIL collective because they blow. 49 00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.639 Yeah, how's that working out? Okay State, they saw Drake 50 00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:21.120 at home. 51 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.520 Yeah, and one of my best friends actually he went 52 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.280 to Drake. So he and I allegedly put some money 53 00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.120 on Drake yesterday. Good thanks to Drake, but they were 54 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.199 they He went on the Kansas State you know, the 55 00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.159 message boards afterwards, and the Kansas State fans were like, 56 00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.960 it's unacceptable to lose to Drake. Drake is so bad. 57 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:42.639 And then I went on Twitter and I said counterpoint, 58 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:44.879 Kansas State is really bad, and then one of the 59 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:48.039 Kansas State fans is like, yeah, we are. So I 60 00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:49.360 was on the internet today. 61 00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:51.840 Well and so Kansas State. So I don't know if 62 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.199 you guys saw after the game, everyone was talking about 63 00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:57.879 what Jerome Tang and Coleman Hawkins said in the postgame 64 00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.360 pressure and I'm like, oh boy, this was me scrambling 65 00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.960 to those after after seeing the scene that that was 66 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.719 what was being talked about, scrambling to the postgame show 67 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:11.159 audio and Colemen. Hawkins started talking about how people are 68 00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:13.680 telling him on Twitter that he should break his legs 69 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.080 and people are telling it people are basically bullying athletes online, 70 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.039 and Jerome Tang was like, that is so not cool. 71 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.919 First of all, agreed, agree with that message. I don't 72 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.919 don't tweet mean things at athletes that are just playing 73 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:29.560 sports for your entertainment. Second off, if you're talking about 74 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.719 that in the early part of a season that's already 75 00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:39.560 not going well, usually teams don't springboard to amazing success 76 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:41.879 if that's what they're talking about this early. That was 77 00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:48.520 my thoughts, Right, it seems right, Yeah, sound effect for 78 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:52.719 the Mario jump. They're that one. Like, Normally teams don't 79 00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:56.479 into the next level of success if they're spending early 80 00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:00.039 December talking about how mean people are tweeting things. 81 00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:01.919 In them, because there's a reason why they're tweeting the memes. 82 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.240 Yeah, back to the Yeah they suck. Back to the 83 00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.360 mean tweeting thing. Just so I can cite this source, 84 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.919 nicknamed Norman after Anthony Perkins's character in Alfred Hitchcock's nineteen 85 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.120 sixty film Psycho, The artificial intelligence was fed only a 86 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.920 continuous stream of violent images from various perniculous subreddits before 87 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.399 being tested with ink blot tests. The imagery detected by 88 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.920 Norman produced spooky interpretations of electrocutions and speeding card deaths, 89 00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.680 where a standard AI would only see umbrellas and wedding cakes. 90 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:36.160 Yeah, that's terrifying. That seems like a really really good 91 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.319 thing that we're investing feature into it. I would rather 92 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.000 invest two million dollars than that. 93 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:49.519 You're gonna get the same return, which is nothing in sadness. 94 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.920 Well, on that note, let's talk about Kansas and how 95 00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:58.319 they are North Carolina State champions. Okay, so the score 96 00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.519 was number ten Kansas seventy five, North Carolina State sixty. 97 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:03.800 Kudos to the AP voters for voting them ten, because 98 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:05.480 all I had to do was out of zero onto 99 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:07.560 where I normally put the score in these notes, because 100 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:11.040 they fell nine spots. The Jayhawks ended their losing skid 101 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.560 yay golf clap by jumping to a fifteen to nothing 102 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:16.160 lead on North Carolina State in front of Landen Fields 103 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:20.560 and fourteenth fifteen thousand, two hundred and ninety one others. Right, 104 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:22.839 they lost a thousand something like that. They never whatever 105 00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:25.199 it is, Yeah, they never looked back After that, the 106 00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.199 three point shooting was good, Hunter Dickinson was dominant, en 107 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.439 Zeke Mayo played his best game since the first week 108 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:34.079 of the season. Overall, it wasn't perfect because you saw 109 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.879 Kansas continue to struggle with drawing contact. They couldn't get 110 00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:40.160 to the free throw line. That's priority one for them 111 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:41.600 and they didn't do a good job of that in 112 00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.079 this game. But overall, it was a quality win. They 113 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.519 covered the spread. This squad went to the Final four 114 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:50.040 last year, albeit they are far from that squad, but 115 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.480 a good win against the Power five team that gets 116 00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:54.800 them back on track. That is eight wins in the 117 00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:59.639 first ten contests of the season. Four Kansas, So we're good, right, 118 00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.560 christ a subverted train right back on the tracks. Final 119 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:03.399 four here they come. 120 00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:09.560 Uh sure if you want to Yeah, yeah sure, Ryan, Yes, you. 121 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:13.800 Guys sound so confident and North Carolina right back on 122 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:14.800 to the negative express. 123 00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:19.480 Ryan, your your lovely grandma and I went to the 124 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:24.040 KU basketball game. Very She's a lovely lady. She's fun 125 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:24.360 to take. 126 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:28.000 She's an awesome company to take one of those games. 127 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.639 She's not afraid to tell you the refs suck either. 128 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:31.800 She'll boo those refs. 129 00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:34.920 She wasn't a fan. She wasn't as pissed off at 130 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.000 the refs as the rest of Allenfield House was. Because 131 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:41.800 they were feisty. But n C State, a team I 132 00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:44.759 watched with my own eyeballs, is bad. They're not good. 133 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:46.920 I don't think I would love to be wrong about 134 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:48.560 that and love for NC State to go back to 135 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.360 back final fours. I don't think NC State's very good. 136 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:54.800 Kansas did play well. Hunter was fantastic, Zeke was fantastic. 137 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.079 But I don't think any Power five win you'll take it. 138 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.240 But NC State, I don't think it's exactly going to 139 00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:02.680 be a Titan of the sport this year. 140 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.360 Cam is that pretty much the right sentiment. North Carolina 141 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:10.199 State is very unimpressive, so therefore anything less than a 142 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:14.319 fifteen point win for Kansas would have been just blath. 143 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:17.120 Yeah, I mean it was a good game for Kansas 144 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:20.040 to get win. I think NC State's probably going to 145 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.399 be like a fringe tournament team. Part of it too, 146 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:25.240 you had to think Kansas would come out kind of 147 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.279 with their hair on fire, and they did, getting off 148 00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:31.160 to a hot start. But yeah, I mean it's it's 149 00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:32.079 what should happen. 150 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:35.480 Yeah, that was really good to see after the Creighton 151 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.240 and Missouri games opened so poorly for Kansas, where they 152 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.879 fell behind by double digits within the first six minutes 153 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:43.240 of each of those contests, to see them come out 154 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.319 and bury North Carolina State early and then Seth took 155 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:49.120 Hunter out. Hunter was plus like thirty in this game 156 00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:52.439 or something like that. Whenever he was out, North Carolina 157 00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.160 State kind of crept back into it. And then he 158 00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:55.920 put him back out there and things were fine, and 159 00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.920 then the refs were mad and Jimmy Dikes. Oh my gosh, Landon, 160 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.560 you heard mad, Allen Fieldhouse, but you did not hear 161 00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:06.319 Jimmy Dikes with a red palm in one hand and 162 00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:10.439 a white palm in the other just openly campaign for 163 00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:14.000 Hunter Dickinson to be ejected and for North Carolina State 164 00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:17.120 to climb their way back into that game. Cam your 165 00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:20.600 thoughts on the announcers, Holy goodness. I don't I don't 166 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.199 love to complain about a fit about announcers not named 167 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:28.120 fran Friscilla because I don't normally notice it. But wow, 168 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:29.000 they were bad. 169 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:32.440 Nah, they were pretty bad. I mean, I only I 170 00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:36.080 caught most ives. I had to work unfortunately for the 171 00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:38.000 first half of the game, but during the second half 172 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:40.919 I caud a little bit of it and yeah, I mean, look, 173 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.159 this is we're gonna put this out here right now. 174 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.519 This is a pro Hunter Dickinson podcast, just putting it 175 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:46.960 out there. 176 00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:52.559 Yeah, but two million times. 177 00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:57.120 Yes, yes, but no they suck. And quite honestly, it 178 00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.200 still blows my mind that there are people that say 179 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:02.080 Hunter Dickinson is a problem for this team. I saw 180 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:03.799 some of the replies to some of the rock Jock 181 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:06.480 blog tweets after that game, and he had what wasn't 182 00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:10.519 it's eighteen eight and I don't know, I can't remember 183 00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:14.679 his stat line. I mean, it's just ridiculous. Twenty one, 184 00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:19.120 fourteen and eight. Yeah, he's not a problem, He's incredible. 185 00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:21.519 That is correct, And I guess we can begin with 186 00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:25.360 Hunter Dickinson, who I am now tweeting out pro Hunter 187 00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:28.679 tweets more than I otherwise would, because I love seeing 188 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:32.919 the responses of people arguing that Kansas would be better 189 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.960 if he didn't exist. People say, and I'm excited for 190 00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:38.440 him to leave. And then Landon and I were talking 191 00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:42.120 about this before Cam you got on the phone. What's 192 00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.240 gonna happen is Kansas is going to lose to Duke 193 00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:46.720 and next year's Champions Classic, and they're gonna get out 194 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:49.600 rebounded by like six and people are gonna say, well, 195 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:52.919 why can't we have this guy that gets eighteen and 196 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.840 ten every night? And everyone's gonna be like, uh, well, 197 00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:57.840 they had one and you didn't think he was good, 198 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:03.159 So yeah, yeah, people will will figure out exactly how 199 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.200 good Hunter is when he's no longer here, and we 200 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:06.759 can start with him if we want. I'd figure we'd 201 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:08.679 start with Zekemeo, but let's go ahead and start with Hunter, 202 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:12.279 who was dominant. Twenty one fourteen and eight was his 203 00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:16.000 final line. That is the first ever twenty one fourteen 204 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.519 to eight and zero turnover game in the history of 205 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:21.440 the Big twelve plus two steals for good measure in 206 00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:23.960 twenty eight minutes, he was nine for thirteen from the 207 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:27.600 floor and insane plus twenty eight in his twenty eight minutes. 208 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:29.799 For those of you not super familiar with the plus 209 00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:32.759 minus stat what that means as Kansas was really really 210 00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:35.039 good with him on the floor and they were thirteen 211 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:37.399 points worse than North Carolina State in the minutes he 212 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.759 didn't play. Ken Palm has him as a top five 213 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:42.639 contender right now in their National Player of the Year race. 214 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:46.120 The Rock Chalk Blog mentions on Twitter, we're much quieter 215 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.759 following a twenty one fifty or twenty one fourteen and 216 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:50.559 eight performance Land and go figure. 217 00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:54.399 Yeah, I mean he was. He was brilliant. He was 218 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.840 the key that made Kansas go. It was noticeable when 219 00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:01.200 he came off the floor that Kansas, like was not 220 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.240 as good and and n C State knew what to 221 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:07.440 do a lot more when when he was off the 222 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:08.960 floor than when he was out there. It was it 223 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:12.399 was quite obvious that they had really no answer for Hunter. 224 00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:16.080 Hunter unlocked the entire offense for Kansas. It was a 225 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.879 brilliant performance. He was spectacular. He knew exactly what he 226 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:20.279 wanted to do and he did it. And the eight 227 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:23.200 assists is also just a testament to his passing ability. Also, 228 00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:24.799 Kansas shot the ball really well in this game, so 229 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:27.440 that helps too. But uh, yeah, he was, he was brilliant. 230 00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:28.799 Kind of a no notes performance. 231 00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.600 I'm trying, Cam, I'm trying to find a side. I'm 232 00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:37.720 trying to find a sound effect that would would would 233 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:40.200 line up well with what you're saying. 234 00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:44.879 How about Yeah? Can I can I just add with 235 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.720 we're still going with Hunter Dickinson. I blanked out for 236 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:49.399 one set? Correct? Yeah? 237 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:51.639 Yeah, where we are still going with Hunter Dickinson. 238 00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:54.879 Go okay, So the the winner of the Bob Huggins 239 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.000 Drive of the game was Hunter Dickinson flagrantly filed NC 240 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:02.200 State into oblivion. Fellas your thoughts on the flagrant? 241 00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:07.960 It was absolutely bull It was terrible. Spot Twitter was 242 00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:09.720 kind of hit or miss landing. What was your thoughts 243 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:11.399 being at the game. I'm sure they bowed, but did 244 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:12.519 you think he was a flagrant? 245 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:17.080 They booed ferociously. I did think it was a flagrant. 246 00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:21.559 Yeah, okay, I see I kind of did. Like by rule, 247 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:26.200 it's a flagrant whenever you put your put two hands 248 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:29.039 on a guy's shoulders and you both follow the floor. 249 00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:31.480 That's gonna get called most of the time. But I'm 250 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:33.879 not quite sure what Hunter was supposed to do. He 251 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:38.279 went for the shot fake missed and he was it was. 252 00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:40.720 It seemed like his options were either grab on to 253 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:44.919 Jacobsen and fall to the floor or middle Brooks been 254 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.200 middle Brooks. They had a lot of a white guy names. 255 00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:51.240 Either fall down with middle Brooks and break your fall 256 00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:53.559 or like hit your head on the floor. I don't 257 00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:55.879 really know what his other option was. If he doesn't 258 00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:58.879 grab the guy at all, how is he landing without 259 00:12:59.000 --> 00:12:59.799 smashing his head. 260 00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:00.679 On the exactly? 261 00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:01.159 I don't know. 262 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:03.799 I I think it's a reputation base call. He's clearly 263 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:05.039 getting them. 264 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.399 Yeah he is. Replay again. I didn't. I didn't see 265 00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:11.480 the replay since the game, so i'd have I'd have 266 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:13.000 to go back and watch it and see exactly how 267 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:14.679 he was falling. It definitely would have been a pretty 268 00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:18.759 hard fall. He also did clearly grab him again, would 269 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:20.600 have to see it again. I did think. I did 270 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:22.159 think it was excessive. 271 00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:23.679 Cam. 272 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:27.080 Yeah, I I mean, I think a lot of its 273 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:29.320 reputation base and that kind of sucks because I don't 274 00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:33.320 think he's inherently a dirty player. But yeah, I don't 275 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:35.440 know if it was worthy of a flagrant. There's gonna 276 00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:38.639 be some uh some debate on that, but no, I mean, 277 00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:40.960 it's kind of it's Hunter Dickinson. It's what we've come 278 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.919 to expect from the refs. So landed. 279 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:47.080 Jimmy Dikes said that Kansas quote got off lucky that 280 00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:49.360 he wasn't ejected from this game. A couple of times, 281 00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:52.679 he said that he said that North Carolina States coach 282 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:55.639 should be really irritated that he wasn't tossed. Uh and 283 00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:58.159 at this point, like, you know, if that's if that's 284 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:01.120 Zach clements as Jimmy Dyke freaking out about it, or 285 00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:03.480 is it just because Hunter Dickinson kind of has a 286 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:05.559 little bit of a reputation in the last couple weeks 287 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:08.200 of being a dirty player, which I cam you lived 288 00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:09.919 in Michigan, you seem to think that that was kind 289 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:12.440 of a thing that people up there thought. I never 290 00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:14.480 thought he was dirty until the Duke play. That was 291 00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:18.000 the first time that that kind of came out. But clearly, yeah, 292 00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:22.080 you know, whatever you want to call I guess I 293 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.639 don't know how he's supposed to land. Okay, So my 294 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:27.120 main takeaway from this game, and we'll talk about Zeke Mayo, 295 00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:29.679 who was really good. My main takeaway from this game 296 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:32.159 was that we saw we got a little bit of 297 00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:34.879 a taste of what Kansas looks like with four out 298 00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:38.759 around Hunter Dickinson and Hunter was the Hills are Alive, 299 00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:42.080 spinning around Mary Poppins style with all this space to 300 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:44.399 work with, when you had four guys on the perimeter 301 00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:47.960 who actually commanded some defensive attention there, but the lead 302 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.440 went from nine to seventeen late in the second half. 303 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:53.639 Whenever you saw the four guard line up around Hunter, 304 00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:55.759 kJ went to the bench with four fouls and the 305 00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:58.360 offense went to the moon. The defense didn't look great. 306 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:01.480 I would prefer the more exciting brand of basketball to 307 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:04.000 outscore more teams, even though Bill self would and self 308 00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:05.799 said that in the end, it wasn't very good because 309 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:08.480 North Carolina State had two big so therefore it was 310 00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:10.720 always going to work out better for Kansas to do that. 311 00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:12.600 I don't know a lot of stuff to throw at 312 00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:15.039 you guys here, but I liked the four out lineup. 313 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:19.120 I think it's pretty obvious to me, And obviously I've 314 00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:21.000 been saying this all year, so it's not like I'm 315 00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:24.000 just flip flopping or waffling here. I think it's pretty 316 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.000 obvious that the key to fixing Kansas's offense lies in 317 00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:31.360 one singular lineup change, and I think you could see 318 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:37.200 it in action in this game, anybody. 319 00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:39.919 I mean, I've always I've definitely been into the four 320 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.720 out lineup throughout my entire time on the show. I 321 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.279 think it's it's pretty obviously better. kJ was not great 322 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.559 in his time in this game. Yeah, I agree. I 323 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:52.879 think I think the four out works really well, and 324 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:54.159 I think it definitely worked well here. 325 00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:57.799 Yeah, I mean I think I think it definitely worked well. 326 00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:00.759 I it's interesting to hear Bill Sooff say it sucked 327 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:02.840 essentially in the post game processer. I mean, I think 328 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:05.480 he's trying to prove a point, and Bill is turning 329 00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:08.639 into an old stubborn man, uh with aj Storer and 330 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:14.679 hopefully I I yeah, right, I would assume, right, guys, 331 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:20.840 at some point he's gotta come around, question Mark, we 332 00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:21.480 can drive. 333 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:24.440 In some I'm having some AirPod trouble, So I will 334 00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:27.480 read Zeke Mayo's stats and then you guys go to. 335 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:28.559 Tech a lot of transitions. 336 00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:32.320 I yeah, that's what we'll do here. Zeke Mayo twenty 337 00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:36.159 six points led all scorers, nine for fourteen from the floor. 338 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:38.799 He was five for nine from three and four for 339 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:41.559 five from two and thirty four minutes of work. There's 340 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:43.600 not a whole lot else to say, but he was awesome. 341 00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:46.080 That was early season. Zeke Mayo at your service. 342 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:48.919 Yeah, he got threes to drop. I think that was 343 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:51.159 the biggest difference. Yeah, also went four for five from two, 344 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:52.600 so he was. He was really good. He was getting 345 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.720 to the cup as well. A little bit nice to 346 00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:57.159 see Zeke get a few to drop that he had 347 00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:59.080 just been cold. I think in the last few games 348 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:01.120 that probably was as big his problem. It wasn't like 349 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:04.720 he wasn't getting open. Uh Cam any any other additional 350 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:06.880 thoughts takeaways from Zeke's performance here? He was great. 351 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:09.319 No, it was really good. He's good to see him 352 00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:11.039 make some threes. Just see the ball go through the hoop. 353 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:12.359 I think it's a really good signed for the team 354 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:12.880 going forward. 355 00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:16.319 Ryan, AirPod problems fixed or should we still vamp about 356 00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:16.880 Zeke Mayo? 357 00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:19.960 Hey, look what I look at this. I'm gonna I'm 358 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.200 gonna tinker and talker with these air pods while giving 359 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:24.119 some analysis. 360 00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:26.799 Because that's right, Ryan calling in from nineteen fifty six 361 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:29.559 when women just learned how to vote. That's right, Yeah, 362 00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:31.240 I got that's gonna have to be edited out. 363 00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:35.119 God dag it, I have a I have a phone 364 00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:37.359 in my ear, and sir, I have dealt with Daniel 365 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:40.000 Cunningham enough on this podcast history to know that it 366 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:42.680 takes a lot more than that sort of offensive comment 367 00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:44.960 to make me edit things out. Nick, on the other 368 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:47.720 hand would be like, darn the Jayhawks loss. Oh Ryan, 369 00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:50.039 can you edit? I shouldn't Boss listens. 370 00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:53.559 Yeah, I just more earned the right and it wasn't 371 00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:54.799 that year. But carry on. 372 00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:58.039 Hey, that's we know what you meant. We know what 373 00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:01.400 you meant that. Don't worry. Something happened in college basketball 374 00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:04.000 this week. That what did I write? I wrote something like. 375 00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:07.240 That, Yeah, tennis or whatever game that was. 376 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.279 Yeah, we'll talk plenty about that. Okay. Well, we talked 377 00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:13.680 about Zeke Mayo, we talked about Hunter Dickinson, we talked 378 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:16.240 about the Bob Huggins drive of the game featuring Hunter 379 00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:19.720 Dickinson's flagrant. Let's talk about free throws. Cam, tell me 380 00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:22.279 about the free throws and how really that's kind of 381 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:24.240 the only box that we didn't get to see checked. 382 00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:24.559 In this game. 383 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:29.599 Yeah, Kansas is currently bottom ten nationally and free throw rate. 384 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:32.400 In this game, they were called for fifteen thousand NC 385 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:36.960 states nine. The free throw margin was eighteen tims vers seven. Guys, 386 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:39.880 what is the problem in your opinion with this team 387 00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:42.640 being completely incapable of getting to the free throw line. 388 00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:46.880 I don't really know what it is, honestly. 389 00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:50.519 Like eighty one player a question mark. 390 00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:55.640 I mean Hunter's style I don't think suits him getting 391 00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:57.559 Like the way he plays does not suit him getting 392 00:18:57.599 --> 00:18:59.359 the line. But that's not fair because he does get 393 00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:01.160 a really bad way whistle. He should get to the 394 00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:03.920 line more, and I think a lot of that isn't 395 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:08.279 his fault. But otherwise I don't know. Dewan Harris maybe 396 00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:11.200 doesn't drive as much as he should, but he does 397 00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:13.440 drive a decent amount, Like you think you'd get more. 398 00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:18.359 I don't know. I'd like to know what their drive 399 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:20.799 rate is. I mean, anecdotally, I don't think they take 400 00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:23.160 it to the cup like an absurd amount, but it's 401 00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:24.799
