ITP: Get-right game? Jayhawks throttle Cowboys at home

So just like that, everything is fixed. I get right game for the Kansas basketball Jayhawks. Nothing of fret. Everything is fine. They're gonna steamroll their way for the next two months, and at the end of the year we are going to be singing with the cutdown net in right hand. Right. You guys have no doubts. They are completely and totally back. Yeah. I've never even had a single doubt. Actually, so I didn't even need to get right game. I just yeah, I never I never thought

they wouldn't win the national championship. True, Gee's never lost an ounce of hope. Right, Nick, you've been You've been sky high confident in this team all season. That just showed you were sitting there watching that game, going yep, those are the Jayhawks I believed in all year. Yeah, this team is is gonna win it in March. All right, Well, hey, thank you for listening to Inside the Paint. We'll be back to talk not winning in March, in not April out ouch. Here we go,

here we go. Let's talk about Kansas for the first time in a while, giving everybody just a laugher to watch, no stress, no problems. They blow out Oklahoma State and we are attempt. We're going to attempt to blow this podcast out of the water, if you will, because Landon and I are back to our regular setups. Nick is back as well. What could go wrong here with the Houston Cougar is coming to town? This

is inside the pan On Rock Chalk Blog. I am Ryan Landreth. I'm the volcano in the Orlando Margarita Fild look at that, and I am Ryan in Orlando. I wish Ryan and Orlando is about like Ryan here, which is pretty freaking cool, right right? No Florida Stanley Ark for you, Ryan, No, there is no Florida Stanley Ark. I was born Florida Stanley, thank you very much. I was put on this earth to be a Florida man. And you guys know that, like that's true, you

guys, absolutely true. I yeah, I was put on this earth to be a Florida man. Nick thinks Florida is quite overrated. Have you been to Florida. I've not been to Florida. I don't have much desire to go. You were all homeschooled, middle class Midwestern child. You never went to Disney World. No, Well, see you missed the part where my dad doesn't like to pay money for things, and has been everywhere and thus

considers everywhere not worth going again. So see, I can't totally picture the Fields family reping those Thing one, Thing two three Thing three Thing four shirts as a family walking around the theme park with the Mickey Mouse ears and everything. I can totally picture that. And somehow you're telling me you've never been to the Sunshine State? You are crazy? Nick. When's the last time you went? Oh? Wait a minute, I know the last time,

Nick? How could we forget? I think I remember there's scandals. I'll probably be there this year too, so reunion gonna run it back. I have no idea how started. I I don't even really know how the story of what happens in Florida. It's because I was with I was with my friend who is a guy, and we went to Florida together. That's why I don't know how else, like you guys went down to play golf. I have no idea how what turn And I think that's land and making up

more rumors. But that can't happen because he goes to church, and you don't make up rumors when you go to church, and it right right, all right? And yeah, them being jokes clearly has never had any bearing on that. All right, let's holw the airhorn and talk about a joke of a basketball team, which is what Oklahoma State is. Hey, no podcasting focus, that's that's that's why we get paid the big bucks. That's why Landing got a very very exponential raise this last offseason. It's true times

one thousand, despite not having as Nick has corrected and the notes. Kevin McCullough I like to call him Kevin mccover, sir, because you saw that last shot against Iowa State the other day. He sat with knee soreness, which is based Bill selfie for saying our opponent sucks balls. The Jayhawks rolled from the start. They led the Cowboys wired to wire. Did I read the score? I don't even think I read the score. Nope, Now that Oklahoma State a lot less yet there you go. Yeah, eighty three

to fifty four was the exact score. They led by double digits the last the last twenty seven minutes of the game. Cola. Nick is already quite focused today, which is all the focus we deserve for this game where Kansas won by a lot. Easy question was that the get right game or was that just a really bad opponent. Well, we'll only know if it's a get right game based on how they look going forward. I would I would

assume because Oklahoma State is really really bad, they are nick. Do you think it's get right or do you think Oklahoma State's just that bad or do you think it will turn into a get right game? I don't think you can call that anything. I think you just got to say that that they played the worst team in the conference. I mean, to their credit though, Oh it's not like Oklahoma State is getting blown out by everyone they played.

Five of the four or five of their conference games have been relatively close. The only only a few blowoffs for Kansas twice and then I think Texas Tech was one of them. But I mean, it's a good win. Like any win by that many points in the Big Twelve, it's gonna be good even if it's the worst team in the conference. They played well without Kevin mccolor. I think that's that's a that's gonna be a tone setting change

the direction of where they're heading type of win. I think. Regardless, you guys are both right with basically everything you said to quote Landon, that's all fair. Oklahoma State's really really bad, but they're also the best last place team in any power league. They have been competitive and they will be competitive with teams like spoiler. I think they beat k State this weekend they play in Stillwater, Like those are the type of games you expect them to

Geez, they might be favored in that game for all I know. Like that, they're not a pushover compared to other last place teams, but they are the type of team that you expect to rack up two wins against when you have the aspirations Kansas does. I predicted on the last show that Kansas was going to win nine of their final eleven conference games. There is the first one, and that is the easiest of those eleven. I predict Kansas will win eight out of their next nine games and then lose to Houston in

the season finale. So I think Kansas gets on quite a run. And it was always going to start if it was going to with a layup against this lackluster opponent. But if there was a big takeaway something we wanted to see. We knew they were very likely going to beat Oklahoma State handily. We wanted to see the bench get going we knew anything that Hunter Dickinson or Johnny Furfey or kJ Adams or even to Want Harris did in this game, we'd kind of fluff off as, Yeah, that's what you expect those guys

to do against the lackluster opponents. We wanted to see those secondary pieces get going and landon. You could probably say you got what you wanted. Yeah, I think so. If you were asking me to read a thing, I was being a little distracted by my phone, So my apologies. Yeah, as the bench to you going, thanks for highlighting that eighteen bench points, which is much better than normal. That is because of al Marco Jackson.

He had ten as a starter. But as bad as Oklahoma State is, as we've been talking about, I don't know how much we can really expect that going forward, especially considering that he's just now looked very good most of big tall play four. Nick, do you actually feel better about the bench due to any of this? Or again, is this just Oklahoma State's really bad therefore players played well against bad team. That doesn't I don't think. Although I think that win is good, I don't think it changes my

mind about the bench at to this point. So yeah, Lannon, you mentioned eighteen bench points as I'm complete mid sentence here, as you mentioned eight as he mentioned eighteen bench points, al Marco Jackson's don't even count. So really it feels like they had twenty eight because if they had had, McCuller, Jackson wouldn't have started. I feel like we need to talk about Jackson. Let's go ahead and get the other guys out of the way here,

Nick, go ahead and tell me about the bigs. Let's let's go ahead and do this, and then we can talk about the secondary pieces. Sure, kJ Adams and Hunter Dickens and collect Cancer sixteen. Oh no, this is not going to This is not going sorry. This is going very sorry. I don't think you are. Nick just wrote something very malicious in the notes, and it's just very not you. kJ Adams, collect Kids sixteen points, apiece Dickinson stuff the box score sixteen points and eleven rebounds on eight

for fourteen. I just can't, man, all right, I'll take this out so Nick's not in astrac can't believe you have to take out his own words, alright, I gotta know. Yeah, I'm composed now. Briefly after slamming his hip on the floor, but returned quickly. Dickinson surpassed two thousand for points in this game. kJ was seven for seven from the floor, had six assists, but only two rebounds. They both played about thirty minutes. Do we have any takeaways from this? Wow, that's a lot

to slam in there. And I wrote these notes and thought I'd put them both in the same paragraph because no, I don't have a lot of takeaways. They both played really well. I'm glad Dickinson's okay. That was did not look great. Whenever you have a giant, seven foot two man with legs that are the size of tree trunks, and that's a long way to the ground whenever you hit the whenever you hit the floor. So glad it was just the bruise. kJ played great. I don't want to be a

wet blanket. I had a couple of people on Twitter talking about how he played awesome. He was seven for seven from the four. Yes, he was great, But I don't like the two rebounds. You don't need a lot there to beat Oklahoma State. I do not think that it's gonna go nearly as smooth for Kansas if kJ as the four man, has two rebounds and what thirty minutes. I don't think that's gonna go well. I think that that's going to rear its head at some point. But on a night

where he's gonna make seven of his seven shots, he's gonna shoot. He's up to sixty five percent on the season. Now, Nick, we weren't. You weren't on the last show, so I'd like to get your thoughts on this. Landon and I talked about how even though kJ Adams is playing great this year, he's averaging thirteen points a game, he's shooting sixty five percent. He dunks everything he touches. We're a little concerned about the lack

of rebounds from a four man that doesn't shoot threes or rebound. Like, what are your thoughts on how that positioning works. Yeah, he talked about a guy who's has the athleticism that he does. You think that he'd be a little bit better with that, certainly. You know, one of the other concerns is that he kind of clogs up to paint, so you hope

that he gets the rebound. You know, it's just kind of in the position where he's the guy that's gonna have to be taking some of them if it's not Hunter Dickinson and he hasn't you know, there's been a lot of balls that have gone over his head and or just you know, not great boxing. Out of times it is. It is odd and confusing though for a guy that's athletic, as kJ Adams. I did right here in the

notes that we should talk about that. People complained at me on Twitter for pointing out Kj's rebounding is a problem, just a couple of them, But those people are going to see my truth eventually, because every time that Rock

Chalk Blog posts something on Twitter, it winds up being correct. So I think we should be required to read everything that we write the notes from here and out's this is this show is getting canceled, Sir can cancel Culture is gonna skip everybody else, Like like the President of the United States could tweet every racial slur in the book and cancel. Culture is gonna skip right over

that and cancel us first if anything in these notes ever gets out. I've had a couple of people that have asked me, hey, you should share access to your notes, and I have to go in there and do so much purging if anybody wants to and most of it's nixt fault. People actually want to read our notes. Who wouldn't they sound hilarious? Right, and Landon, I think you'd agree eighty percent plus of that is damaged done by Nick that is yeah, And I would say the other nineteen point nine percent

is you yeah. No, Landon out of the word circle in front of me calling someone a jerk once. And I think that's about the extent of what Landon has done in these notes. I think that's the worst that you've done. You've You've done a pretty good job. Maybe we should have you write all the notes. That sounds like a promotion. Oh uh, it would be. It would be more responsibility. That's true. Well, I'll tell you what, sir, I won't pay any less than I already do.

So. kJ kJ is an electric basketball player. He is an easy to root for stud who plays his heart out and does everything that's asked of him. I'm just concerned that the rebounding is going to be a problem.

God forbid if Hunter Dickinson gets in early foul trouble in a tournament game or gets banged up and can't go, or is it as effective or it's more about what is what is being restricted on the offensive end because kJ, you know what, Houston's gonna do the whole game, not gonna put a guy out there on kJ Adams when he catches the ball in the perimeter, they are gonna they're gonna double hunter it against in and say, okay, kJ

shoot the ball. And it's I think that's advantage for the Cougars, wouldn't you. Yeah, I think I think it definitely is. I mean, it's the same reason why you'd see, you know, people, especially early in Dewan Harris's career, just leave him open or Marcus Garrett, because you would much rather take that opportunity, uh, take that chance to let that guy shoot a long range jay uh than anything else. And in kJ obviously can shoot much much less than those guys can or could, So yeah,

I think Houston definitely should play that way. Obviously, kJ has athleticism, he can drive in as well, so you know you're gonna have to give him not that much space at times because he can he can burn you that way too. But I definitely think you're you're gonna want to taunt the guy to take jump shots because he has not proven that he can make them. Four man have to be able to either shoot or rebound in today's college basketball

or it is going to be a detriment at some point. kJ can do everything else well, but if he can't do both of those things, then that's that is just a huge problem. And it also makes me think about how had Arterio Morris not gotten into trouble and played a role that we were expecting him to play and played it well. I think kJ is the thing we're talking about the most as far as being concerned with this theme, because

then you don't have the bench that's that's as much of a liability. Then you don't have the lack of athleticism to come in and get you a bucket as much of a liability. But we are still talking about kJ getting thirty minutes a game with the four and not rebounding or shooting. I think that is the biggest threat long term. I'm way more concerned about that costing Kansas a tournament game than I am about the bench only scoring four points in a

loss. I don't know, Maybe that's just maybe that's just the way I see it. Okay, let's talk Dewan Harris Landon. Tell me his stats and I want Nick to give analysis first, because you have had a lot of criticism of Harris, a lot of it justifiably, so I'm curious to hear Nick if he's starting to win you back. Dewan Harris twelve point s just one turnover in thirty minutes. He was five to nine from the floor, including two of three from three. He played two of his best games

of the season in his last two games. Nick, are you feeling any better about Dwan Harris. He's shooting more, which I absolutely love, and obviously he can't fall twelve points per game. This is exactly what we're talking about. We want to see a little bit more from him offensively to carry the mantle. Obviously, Hunter Dickens or Kevin mccluur ad in this game make take some shots, and he did at times, and that's great. I want this to continue. I don't want him to disappear and go for four

points in their season ending loss in March. Dwan Harris just can't win, man. Like I posted on Twitter that he scored what Landon just read there? Hey scored like like twenty one points and fourteen assists to two turnovers in the last two games and people are like, well, that's what he should do. Really like, is it ever gonna be enough with this guy, Dwan Harris. If the bench scores an average number of points, right, if the bench is averaged, Timberlake gets five, el Marco Jackson gets six,

Johnny furfyes, twelve. I know he's starting now, but let's say he does that. Parker Brown makes the basket or two, then Dewan Harris is going to be great in this offense. They're gonna flirt with eighty points most nights if they can get that from their bench. But Dewan Harris's liabilities up here a lot stronger than they actually are when those guys don't do anything. I do think he's not as good as he was last year. Last two games have made me think maybe the light has started to come on and

they need this. They need to want Harris to average ten points if they're not gonna get anything out of their bench. In this game, they got both, and wouldn't you know it, they got bench points and production out of to one and they scored eighty three points and one by thirty. Amazing how that works. Mike Poyton did not because Mike Boyton did not become the

first coach to beat Bill self twice at Allen Field House. Probably the last chance he's going to have to get there that this is where I played myself here. He's going to make a really good assistant coach in the WCC next year. Guys. Yeah, I might give him a little better than the WCC. But yeah, tough out for Boyton. Yeah, he's not gonna be the coach Oklahoma State after this year. I'm afraid. Mike Boyton has made the NCAA Tournament one time in seven years in Oklahoma State, and it

was because he had the greatest recruit in the history of the program. And even then, at one point they were a Final four favorite and lost to a twelve seed. Ouch. Yeah, that has been the ten or. That has been the tenor of Mike Boyton's tenure. Do you know that? Well? Do you know that Mike Boyton has only won Uh, He's only finished five hundred or better in the league once and that was the COVID season. That's not good, that's unreached. Well, at least this guy had

a turnaround. Unlike Mike Boyton, Omarco Jackson actually played well in this game. He scored ten points on fourth right from the floor, scoring more points in this game, and he did all the conference play before. He also went two for two from three. Look at that, See that, Nick Timberlake. You can see balls actually can go in the hoop. He didn't do much else though, logging two rebounds in one assist in twenty six minutes, but it had to be good to see the ball go in the basket.

Can't wait from the brick the next three takes when they lose to Houston, so Landon. I think a couple of shows ago, all three of us said, al Marco is going to have a random ten or twelve point showing against one of the worst teams they play at home, and everybody's gonna be like, oh, the light's going on and boom. I think we've watched a few Kansas games because we got that one, right. Is this just a flash in the pan? Or did you see things in this game

from al Marco that make you think huh maybe? Well I would say yes, except that he also did this, not it was sometime in non Conn or the game exactly, but to state game. Yeah, he knocked down a couple of threes. He looked pretty good and then went right back to doing absolutely nothing. So I hope that this is el Marco Jackson actually turning the corner, actually having the light come on, as you're saying, Ryan,

But I don't think so. I'd be surprised if he actually puts out this output consistently, because he just has shown that he cannot score at a Big twelve level and can't defend it one either. I don't necessarily think he's a complete lost cause I do think he's very I think Ryan's take that he might transfer after this year is decently likely. I think it's really possible, especially considering the recruiting class they have coming in. I don't know. I

hope he's good. If he if he can score six to eight points a game, that would be huge. That would be really really nice. You would have taken that's awesome. I don't think there's a chance he's getting there. You would have taken a combined twenty for a Heat and Furfee together at the start of the year, really really fast. I think Furfee will do enough if you can get six to eight from al Marco. If you can,

I don't. I think the rest of the season has shown that is going to be extremely unlikely, but I agree, And yeah, you mentioned the transfer thing. Yeah, I think that with how like I think how vicious it is now, Yeah, I think. Do you think they can go find a grad transfer that's gonna be better than sophomore al Marco Jackson? I do. I don't know if the position changes is gonna make a difference.

I think that sounds very doable. I said on the last show, I'm jumping off the El Marco Jackson train, and I refuse to get back on until he does this. I want to see double digit points three times in a five game window. If I see that, I'll jump back on the bandwagon. I need to see this happen more often than it does in over a two and a half week stretch to feel confident that Almarco Jackson is

turning a corner. He got to ten against the worst team in the league, and he needed two threes, which he hadn't made any other conference play all season long. I think that that needs to happen consistently, and and you have a guy that's worse than a thirty percent three point shooter that needed to make multiple threes just to get to ten points. Like, that's not awesome. If al Margo makes two threes, you expect fourteen or fifteen points

with maybe make a couple inside shots, get fouled a couple times. I don't know, I don't see it. I think that al Marco is a disaster waiting to happen against Houston, a team that forces a lot of turnovers, a team that's really good at getting away with some contact and altering some shots every time al Martin yep, by far the best defensive team in the country. I think every time Almarco Jackson touches the ball on Saturday, it's

a big problem potentially in the making for Kansas. If he goes out and does this against Houston, I'll start to raise my eyebrows a little bit. But for now, this is the bare minimum. He barely got to double digits against the worst team in the Big Twelve, and he needed a couple of threes to get there. I'd like to see it happen against somebody better, and I'd like to see it happen more than once in conference play.

But I guess you have to start somewhere. Is just boy. I don't know how anybody spoiled Nick is Nick is a good Yeah, I know these are. I'm just not gonna say anything about this because if I tried to John Michael Wright, let's just skip to him. I'll do that. Yeah, it does not technically, but also yes, I don't like seeing this last week either. That's just disgusting. Anyways, who wasn't disgusting in this game? John Michael Wright. Uh made six threes last year alanfield House.

Guys, he went oh for six in this game? Right? Right? Yeah? Sure? Yeah? Actually made he made six at Allen field House last year for a season high, and then he made four at Allen field House this year for a season high. He's not there's a there's a really bad joke in there. I think he's so good shooting threes against Kansas, we ought to start calling him John Michael White. I got what I deserve on that one, but I cackled writing it. I thought it was pretty

funny. I don't know what Nick's doing, but I'm scared to keep looking because I don't keep looking, I feel like it's going that's because she's missing around with the sizes of the letters, and it was funny. I don't just wait, just wait, just wait, just wait, just wait, wait, we're very very serious speaking and speaking of white Johnny Furfy. Oh no, oh, oh oh something. Oh there it still is? Why there? Damn it all? The show is a disaster. Uh yeah,

Johnny Furfy the whitest kid. You No, that's Nick Timberlake. Johnny had eleven points, six rebounds to assists, four to seven shooting in thirty two minutes. H Is he coming back? I think he probably is coming back. But that's the only question I had. Nick. Is Johnny Furfy gonna be a Jayhawk next year? I think so. He's he's he's nineteen.

Yeah, I think I think he will come back. I think he still has a lot to develop on the defensive end, and I mean, you know, he's been pretty consistently good, to be fair, but I think I think he also has to be more of a shot creator to be a genuine like NBA prospect than he is. So. Joshua Brisco, who a lot of you guys now know, is on eight ten as the post game

voice of the Chiefs and is on their afternoon show on eight ten. I don't know if a lot of people listening here are aware that he spent the first four seasons on this podcast we were in college. He had a lot of very good points. I learned a lot about sports radio from Josh, But one of the quotes that I always will remember him saying, whenever I would be like, no, like a guy like Devonte Graham should definitely come back to college, he would say, there is no better place to get

better than in the NBA. And that quote has strang in my head ever since. Johnny Furfey does have to get better defensively, and he does have to get better with a few things, but the people that he has to come back to school to do that, that he wouldn't improve at that and at the pro level. I don't know. I think you're right. If I had to better right now, I think he comes back, but I think it's gonna be way diceier than we ever thought it was gonna be.

I think that's fair. I think the only counterpoint I would have to that is it is also more common for guys to come back to college to get better than it is for them to go to the pros well, and that was before you could hire an agent and stay. That was before you could go to the combine and then come back. So there have been some changes that have led to more players staying I think, than they did maybe ten years ago. But you're right, like, we'll see what happens. I

think Furfy will be here. I think he'll be a All Big twelve player next year, and then I think he has gone though after his sophomore year. But he is definitely doing things that that we didn't think he would get to this fast. Okay, here's a random question. Do you like him better than Grady Dick? The fine? Like, do you think he's better basketball player than Grady Dick? No, not even close. No, Grady Dick is Grady Dick is the best three point shooter my eyeballs have watched play

in Kansas. Hmmm. Interesting do you think he might be I No, I don't know. I don't think necessarily. I think his ceiling's higher than Grady. To be honest, no, I don't think that's true either. I don't know. He didn't play in the American system. I mean, the Australian developmental system is not bad. They play a lot of hoops down there, But like, I don't know, I was it's probably also just a Grady might be a victim of expectations. I just expected him to be

like insane. He was really good. He was a little streaker than I liked. He is probably a better player than Furfey, but I like a lot better. Stats are exceeding expectations by a lot. Their stats are very similar, actually so since Furfey became a starter, which we only have a six game sample size of this for Grady Dick, this is an entire season. But Johnny Furfee since taking over as a starter, is averaging fourteen points

on forty eight percent as a three point shooter, which is nuts. Grady Dick also averaged fourteen points, but shot forty one percent on the season as a three point shooter, and that's very likely around where Furfey will finish the year. At the rebounding numbers for Fee averaged seven, Dick averaged five. Assists numbers are about the same. Grady was a better defender, blocked more shots, had more steels, also had fewer turnovers. Actually, no,

that's not sure either. Furfey is averaging less than one turnover game. Furfey's hot streak is about the same as Grady Dick's season, so I know, I don't think he's a better player than Grady Dick. Grady Dick was the second best player on, for my money, the best team in college basketball in the regular season last year. I don't think Furfy's even the third best player. Well, yeah, he probably is the third best player on a team. That's probably not fair enough. I think. I think it's a

super fair take. We will definitely see as it goes on. If we get another ten games of this and it's clear that this is who Furfy is, ask me then, But for now, no, I don't think and I think Grady was such a better defender, and I think that he was. I think that that made a really big difference. Okay, Nick, why don't you tell me about Yeah, he's we should he should say bye bye bye to the line up. Nick. Timberlake scored seven points, but

he's just two for eight, shooting one for five from three. He's seeing on twenty seven percent from three this year, after making thirty eight percent of his six hundred plus three. Is that our lady? The late Mississippi Valley State whatever school that was, Jamari McDowell showed him how it's done, splashing in the late three to finish with six points in ten minutes. Uh something called the Wilder. Evers made a dunk. It was more of like a

tap in. Mike Jacobs also make it made a three. Landon wants Mike Djenkovic to play more. Are you like Mike Jankovic would shoot a higher percentage Nick Timberlake and you cannot convince me that's not true. Oh my god, that's horrible, but it's true. Yeah, I think you would too. Timberlake, though, is such a better athlete. Oh for sure, Mike Jenkins, you'd have to play a zone if Djankovic was out there because he

would get cooked on defense. That's that's undeniable. But Djenkovic could offer something to the team that they don't have other than Furfey. And that's the guy who can consistently knock down threes. I don't I have watched Kansas basketball since I was in elementary school, and I have never seen a weirder case than Nick Timberlake. I mean, this is not a guy who had a hot eight game stretch like Joe Yesafu did and he transfers in and everyone's like,

oh, that's gonna continue and it doesn't work. This is a guy that shot as Nick said, over six hundred threes at four years worth of them at thousand and made almost forty percent of them. He was at forty two percent in his last two years, which are the largest volume seasons. And then he comes the Kansas. He makes three in the first game, where like here it is, and he sucks. He's terrible, he cannot make anything, and they're all close, it's not like he's air balling. Then

they're all really close. They just brick out. It's the weirdest thing I've seen. I don't know, I said on the last show, I think you have to keep doing it. I think you have to keep letting him take five a game, like because what where else are they getting it? I agree, this is really weird because we thought he would like anything. We thought he'd be a weird play because he could make shots, but he might not be able to defend very well, you know, because it's tousand,

it's the Big twelve. Those are two very different leagues, two very different things. But the one thing that you did feel confident that he could do, and that is take and make threes, he can't do at all. He just can't. Even if he's stunk at everything else. And this is where we thought, if you have Arteria Morris, he's played at Texas, he knows the big twelve, he can play the bulk of the minutes.

Oh we need a three, go out there, Nick. You know that you can not not this Nick, even though this Nick would be better at Yeah, say, do you think Nick would shoot worse than twenty seven percent? The answer is yes, I'm sure, yeah, lot, but I think you get a lot blocked. The ones that you get out cleanly

might be okay, your average you know, your average Joe. That the shot would look like it's in slow motion out there with how quick those defenders close out, and then everybody Nick Wiper would make three threes on Kansas, and then people would really talk about how their defense can't close out on people.

Yeah, I don't know. The Tamberlake case is perplexing. H I think you have to keep costing him out there because because the potential, the risk is still there, because yeah one, who else are you turning to? Because Bill is making it very evident that it's not McDowell. And as much as I think you should actually maybe give Mike Jenkovic five real minutes, they're not gonna do that, and that's probably the choice. So you're not

gonna act. There's no one else to go to. And again there's the chance that he figures it out and turns it on and gets hot in March and he's a guy that's gonna make two or three at night, and then that's a huge asset for you, and you have to be willing to try to get to that point. I think somebody on Twitter, and I don't know if they were serious or not. I hope they're not. Because Kansas

has has given you a lot to be happy about. You shouldn't be this optimistic said that al Marco Jackson is about to have a Malik Newman esque rice from the Ashes Seas. Yeah, I'll tell you what, sir. If that happens, you can have Rock Chuck blog I win twice. But if Nick Timberlake, I think it's much more likely that if one of those guys figures it out and is a true impact play, Yeah it's Timberlake's. It has to be right. Nick Timberlake has made multiple threes in two games since

the opener. Yeah, that's really bad. You can't. No, I would have thought it's impossible and it's all over the place too. Here are the minutes for Timberlake in conference play eleven ten, three, nine, fourteen to two seven twenty five. I know that was about mccoller, but he's gonna be one of the first two guys off the bench. He's gonna get some run, he's probably gonna break most of his trees. And then he went, there's only three guys on the bench. Yeah, and one of

them, Bill self, plays for thirty seconds a night. Yeap. So well, we'll see. I guess we will see. But I do have a fun fact about nicks Man Wilder Evers. He now is just two thy nine and forty nine points behind Danny Manning for the most points in Kansas basketball history. Pretty cool. We'll get that next year that if he did. Let's see, how many points would that be? If Kansas played all forty games almost ten, that would be sort one hundred per game. Sorry,

if he played. If they played forty games, he could get there by scoring seventy four points per game over the course of a full season. That would be fun. Pete and Merrivi Lebron points. Also, the ear is a fun scenario I have for you guys. So I'm sure you saw several members of the Chiefs O line, including Creed Hunting, Tray Smith. Oh they yeah, well they were hard to miss in the student section. Creed Humphrey and jan Ye Morris, who both played at Oklahoma hit him with the

horns down, which don't show to Rodney Terry. Uh so those guys were a couple other Chiefs O linemen were at the game. So if Kansas led by twenty with five minutes left and Bill self put the five Chiefs O lineman in the game to play the rest of the way, would that be enough for them to hold on and win? I doubt it. You think they'd blow a twenty point lead in five minutes? Uh? Yeah, they're not. D you won basketball players? I I don't know. I well,

yeah, because where is the offense? Yeah that's like maybe they could defend a little bit. I don't know. It was like a lot of guys. They're very athletic, of course, but they are their job different than O line. Their job as O lineman is to shove people. I sense a lot of fouls. Yeah, exactly. I think instinct takes over at a certain point. There's body and dudes. Yeah, it should be kind of fun to watch, but they'd probably blow the lead. Oh do we

have final takeaways from this game? It was a This was a of a recap, but it kind of is what this game deserved because we were never going to hit you with a lot of hard analysis about them beating Oklahoma State by a lot. It was what you wanted to see. If they had won this game eighty to seventy six, we'd be sitting here going, oh boy, but they want it by a lot. Yeah, you take your wins right, unbalanced schedule, you got a tougher draw. You take your

two wins against this team and move on. Yeah. Oklahoma State one of the worst basketball or one of the bottom tier Big twelve schools in the last several years. Maybe I don't know if they're quite that bad, but they're they're quite terrible. Yeah. Not a ton to really analyze here. Good to see KU blowout a really bad team the way they should. It is nice to see how Marco Jackson put the ball in the basket. Hopefully that can spark some confidence and spark some consistency. I have my doubts, but

we'll see otherwise. Yeah, not a lot to say, Kay, you look good. They had an a minus game against a team that's a straight up f nick Any closing thoughts, No Landin pretty much covered it. You play this game, well, it's a good win, regardless of how the

other team's playing. Bounce back when and now you get to prepare. Have a lot of days Monday night game, have a lot of days to prepare for the next competition against Houston. And I will say also, I know a lot of people don't care about rankings, and rankings are kind of stupid. But with the way the schedule is, you have several teams in front of Kansas that have already lost this week, and a couple more of them

play each other this weekend. If Kansas can be Houston, which they've only lost seventeen times in twenty years at home, I know they there's rumors they might be an under which I'll believe that when I see it. But if Kansas beats Houston, they are gonna go right back into the top five, if not the top three of the rankings. They're going to be right there as the co favorite at worst to win the Big Twelve, and they are probably gonna be a number one seed in waiting if they can win this game.

So for as bad as the last few weeks have been, at times, they are right there. One went away from being right back into the thick of things as a top three team in the country. Fifty eight percent from the floor, forty four percent from three, seventy eight percent the line, plus eleven on the glass, and just ten turnovers. Those are all great numbers. That's exactly what we wanted to see against Oklahoma State. And now let's talk about everybody else. Big twelve Games. Yay, our favorite

turn of the week. Right, everybody loves this segment. I love it. I don't know what you're talking about, Nick, I love it too. I like the other games. But the Big twelve games, every game is kind of the same, and all the scores are about the same. This week, the winning team scored seventy six, seventy seven, seventy three, and sixty nine in four of the six game, so it's all kind of the same. Number four, Houston seventy six, Texas seventy two.

Landon, you have put some comedy in the notes, so I'll decide. I think I've decided you should read Jamal Charles and Houston could never do anything in the postseason either. Oh, why, that was not Jamal's fault. Jamal Charles scored one hundred percent of the touchdowns the Chiefs scored in the twenty ten playoffs. Sir, that's not his fault. Only that was more than six points Jamal Shed. Yes, I put a picture of Jamal Charles and a picture of a Shed in the notes because I know comedy. Jamal shed

scored twenty five points. Nick, is Houston the best team in the country? The answer is not for Due. I don't think that's extrallent. They're a top three team. How about that? My name is not Nick, but I see what next typing, So I decided to step in because Nick is distracted. H Yes, it's Perdue Yukon in Houston right now. I think h Kon's the best thage. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I think Houston's very good though, like they are. Houston is impressing me a

little bit more and more by the game. Yeah, they're really good. Rodney Terry and Texas are not so much. Texas made one basket in the final seven minutes and thirty seconds of regulation. That's how is that play? In general? Buns overtime buns and and and which is what buns means. You're right, but look, did Ronnie tell it? Did Rodney Terry yell at his team in the locker room? You think? Or they did he scold the Oh he wouldn't yell a Horns down right in Rodney's Terry's face.

And he had a stroke. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and he would deserve it too, not the stroke, but the Horns down. Texas is fifteen and eleven in conference games since they hired Rodney Terry. That is so Texasy. Texas is going to be really mid and somehow getting the tournament, everyone's gonna be like, oh, watch out for Texas, watch out for seven seed Texas. They're gonna lower whatever. Yeah, and then they're gonna

lose to whatever seed they played. Yep, yeah, they're gonna lose to a mid major TENN seed despite being a favorite, because Texas just really disappointing

for the Longhorns, who were down big and then they stormed back. They led this game by six with about five minutes left, and I popped off about how Houston's offense was getting shut down, and then I believe the Cougar's made three threes in a row and like a forty five second period that shut rock Chalk Blog up, which is kind of unusual because most of the time rock Chalk Blog hits the nail right on the head. But yeah, the Cougars are impressing me more and more by the game. They've won five in

a row. They roll into this game at Allen Field House completely unintimidated and ready to go. I'm not saying they can clinch the Big twelve because that's obviously not the case, but wow, if they can win an Allen Field House on Saturday, they are going to be the heavy heavy favorite to end up winning that league, right Yeah, yeah, if they can't actually beat Kansas in their place, yeah, they are the runaway favorite. They foul a lot, though, Like we'll talk about it in the preview. This

will be a little bit deeper, a dive of a preview. Houston fowls a lot and a lot of it's not called they don't get nearly as good of a whistle on the road as they do at home, which is Big twelve. Ye, But they foul a lot. And if they run into a game on the in the NCAA tournament where the officials have decided to call a lot of fouls. That's a big problem. Like, there were a

lot of whistles in this game, and several players fouled out. They survived because again Rodney Terry is buns and but you know, still it's something to watch if somebody can bring them. Don't want to run into the TCU Arizona refs, yeah or or yes or the Baylor North Carolina refs. That is of all the games I remember watching, that one was the PA That is

one of the most insane reffing games I've ever seen. Like the refs completely lost control of the game and decided the best way to take it back is just to literally call everything. Yeah, it was terrible. Let me look that up real Quickaylor UNC twenty twenty two. It was a brilliant basketball game, a ninety three to eighty six overtime game. North Carolina took out the defending champs. We obviously saw them get to the title game as a result

of that run. They had a twenty five point lead that they blew. The box score shows that the officials in forty five minutes called fifty three fouls. Goodness, whoa as it can't get worse than a basketball game with fifty three fouls. It doesn't get ortaing. Yeah, yeah, that's how good. It was a lot of points, a lot of fouls. Speaking of the talk about the team that lost that game, number eighteen Baylor seventy seven, Central Florida sixty not so nice nine Nick, The Bears losing streak is

over. Yeah. Ryan did not attend this game. He was in Orlando. He should have gone, oh yeah, waylor ended their three game losing streak. But they didn't lead in this game until there were six minutes left, and they put ucfaway, ending the game on twenty to thirteen run twenty four points from Langston Love. Nothing interesting to say about UCF, Although Ryan loves Orlando, I do like Orlando World, Paris Roam yep, Orlando, Sydney, Tokyo yep. Landon is starting to uh Lanton is starting to read

my speak my language. Sure you go by Lando, which is most of Orlando's so it makes sense why you're now a big fan. That's so you see. UCF is three and five in league play, and their losses have been either really really close like this and BYU which they are right there, or they yet totally bent over the table by case State and Houston, like there is no in between for UCF win against Kansas. Yeah, they're wins, Argons, West Virginia who's totally awful, Texas who is totally Texas,

and Bill South damn it, Bill. What a weird list of teams that is. Baylor is gonna be just fine. They are a top three team in the league. Any argument, I think they are three. I think they are. Yeah, I think they are, and maybe they're four. They might be four. TCU, You feeling that maybe maybe, Okay, let's go ahead and talk about that. Then number twenty five, TCU eighty five, Number fifteen Texas Tech seventy eight. A really good game that saw

TCU play quite well. They are sneaky tied with Kansas for second place in wins in this conference. Twenty three points from Jayhawk killer Travian Tennyson. Micah Peeve, who is a twenty seven percent three point shooter, went four for four for the horn Frogs. The Red Raiders got Kansas. It's kind of

nice when it happens to somebody else. It's weird that Texas Tech lost this game because they shot nine percent better from the floor, and they made fourteen threes, meaning that only damnit bill can allow the opponent to make fourteen threes and still not win. But they lost because TCU shot thirty two free throws to their fourteen. Usually the I don't think there's any better way to sum up reck them than that getting totally totally disadvantage with the whistle away from Lubbock

in a way that's not like what they happen. What happens to them that United Supermarkets Arena. They are a Jackal and Hyde mass on the road and at home. Yeah, it's a what happens when just flop all the time? Do they still do that? Yes, it's the Chris Beard. That's great. Love Which of those? Which is which teams better? Tc or Tech? I trust TCU more. I don't know how much I trust TCU,

but I think they are better. Yeah. Ken Palm thinks TCU is the twenty second team in the country and Texas Tech is the twenty seventh team, so they think they're pretty similar. Texas Tech also actually has one of the best offenses in college basketball, which is unlikely, which is unusual to say about them. Uh, but yeah, I think they're both pretty solid. I think they're both better than Texas. Yeah, I think they're both

way better than Texas. So de Lana and you get to read this game because you wanted all the tang on your hands, and now you get to deal with the consequences. Yeah. Number twenty three Oklahoma seventy three. Kansas stayed fifty three. Yuck. Yeah. So when you get a nice lemonade, right, nice lemonade, but a nice lemonade should also be really sweet. In my estimation, the best lemonade is as maximum tangy and as maximum sweet as you can get it. Right now, I think we're a little

too tangy k State. Oh and three. Since I said that I wanted all the tang I could get, that is a question. The box score here is what nightmares are made of. Kansas State had one point in the first nine minutes. They had sixty baskets. They turn it over fourteen times. They had twenty seven fowls all on their lonesome. They were four of twenty eight from three. They took one more three than they had fowls in the game. Oklahoma got twenty three points from Jalen Moore, another twenty one

from Jvon McCollum. But Oklahoma's pretty boring, so no one really cares. Yeah, k State notat I've been great. Remember a couple of weeks ago, Land or Nick, whenever you and I were like Houston, Kansas, Iowa State, Texas Tech, and Land like, don't forget ky State. They're good, They're really, really, really good. Yeah, I definitely said they were awesome. Yes, you said that you thought they were an eleven win Big twelve team, sir, Yeah, I did say that.

You got they are. They're not a very good basketball team. That's a seven and eleven team. Yeah, I'll go eight and ten. But yes, you're probably right. And KSE State fans have a weird thing with Jerome Tang because he's obviously a very good coach. He's a great motivator, he's a great speaker. We know this. I also think Jerome Tang has been amazingly lucky so far as AKSE State coach. We've talked about his overtime rastime.

I think he's ten and oher one overtime. Yeah, and so he loses the North Alabama and Villanova, then yeah, the tenor of all of the season is completely different. Oh yeah, yeah, completely, Like he's forty and fifteen overall, which is a very good winning percentage, but he's ten and zere overtime games, so he's thirty and fifteen when the game doesn't go to overtime, which whenever you think about their schedule, feels about right.

And they like there's somebody had a meme of Jerome Tang reading an Uno card that said draw a play or draw twenty five cards and he had the photoshop his face on the guy that drew all the cards. So it's just not pretty there. I don't think they have a ton of talent. Their point guard's pretty good. Are you guys excited for them to make twelve threes against the Jayhawks next Monday night? Nothing has ever been so predictable. Yeah, Tyler Perry is about to go all the way off. Yeah, no,

he absolutely is. K State. I think that they're still going to be pretty tough to beat at home, especially if you're Kansas because that building will be loud. But no, I don't think ky State is one of the best half of the Big twelve teams. I think Houston, Kansas Tech, Iowa State, TCU, and Baylor are definitively better, and it'd be hard to argue Oklahoma's not definitively better after watching that game. Imagine court storming

after beating Wisconsin. The Nebraska win, we counted Nebraska as a loss and all they did was just eight. Wow, it was fifty three to twenty nine Nebraska since halftime. We're gonna talk all about that here in a minute. I bet you guys are stoked for that. But first we got to talk about this game. Guys. They got their first win in a while. Virginia sixty nine, Cincinnati sixty five. The bear Cats totally totally blew this. They led sixty to fifty with six minutes left. West Virginia starting

to get healthier. They got twenty five points from Jesse Edwards, who's a very good player and has missed quite a bit of time injured. They are starting to get some pieces back. Kansas shouldn't have lost up there. We obviously know that it took a historic shooting day to make that happen. But the Mountaineers are going to get better as the season goes along. Here is my prediction. West Virginia wins more Big twelve games than Case State. I

do not agree with that. I think West Virginia is better than KSE State. I don't North Alabama and Villanova in overtime, Sir, that's bad. I'll give you that. I think West Virginia's arrow is pointing up, and I think KSE State's arrow is pointing straight down. We'll see Big twelve standings. Number one alone and first is Houston. They are six and two, time for second place. Texas Tech and Iowa State at five and two, just half a game behind the Couterars in fourth place Kansas and TCU ernest Ude

Club is five and three. Man. This is the point where everybody's playing a different number of games, so the records are everywhere. Number six is Baylor. They are four and three back in the win column. Oh that's my turn nowt in seventh, Oklahoma and k State are four and four. In ninth, BYU is three and four. Tenth place is kind of everybody else here, UCF, Texas, Cincinnati and West Virginia, three teams we

didn't think would be very good. And Texas because of course eternally Texas three and five all the way in last is terrible, terrible, truly, buns. Oklahoma State they're one inside buns. Buns is such a good it's such a good word. Okay, let's do other games, Nick, I think I shorted you a big twelve recap so you can lead us off here. Yeah. For the first time since early December, number three North Carolina lost the basketball game, losing at nine to eleven Georgia Tech as seventy four to

seventy three. The tar Heels are still nine to one in lead the ACC. But this is basically the exact same loss as Kansas losing in West Virginia. How much do you trust the tar Heels. I don't at all because their coach, I think is kind of a boob. West Virginia and Georgia Tech are I think they're back to back in Ken Pomp Yeah, and they are one after the other. Yeah. So this is the same loss and North Carolina. Though North Carolina to me feels like a team that's peaked,

they do have a superstar in RJ. Davis. I don't think that conference is going to challenge them in the way that it needs to. They're gonna be a two seed in the NCAA Tournament. It's gonna be on an upset watch from the start. I just don't trust them. As thirty one year old NBA veteran Armando Baycott, yeah, who's quite good, but they're kind of the same thing every year. It feels like they have a high ceiling and a low floor. I don't trust Hubert Davis. Watching some of the

late game coaching calls that they were making were baffling. It was stunning how little RJ. Davis touched the basketball in the closing minutes of a game that they really needed to win. And he's done that before with Armando Baycont too. Just a weird game, Land And I'm assuming you like North Carolina is very talented. They're clearly the class of the ACC at this point, I think, But you don't trust them at all. Yeah, I think I

think they're good. I think I think Baycott and Davis are gonna beat a lot of people. But yeah, I don't necessarily trust them against good teams. The only team that really could challenge them is number seven Duke, who is ranked the head of Kansas now because yay rankings. They won at Virginia Tech to set up a tobacco road showdown on Saturday. Oh man, I have to read this ESPN has already ruined six pairs of underpants by talking about

this game. UH. I wondered why games are Why why Game Day was not in Lawrence for KAYU, Houston or Kentucky For uh be coming the North Carolina. I will say, I don't think North Carolina is as good as the record indicates. But my spoiler here prediction they are going to crush Duke. I hope so Man deserves it. Yes, and UH and John Shier will be trying. He'll be completely stuck doing one of those kids menu mazes like at Chili's. He'll be trying to solve the maze instead of calling a

play. As I think you want to talk about buns. How about that buns of a coaching matchup. I'm never a bigger than when they play Alabama and football, and I'm never a bigger UNC fan than when they play Duke and hoops. Yep, that feels fair. And Auburn and Alabama played recently. They're not the teams we're talking about right now. But you can tell me about something else funny that happened in the end. Speak speaking of a speaking of a boob at a blue blood who's never lost to a school named

after a white guy, Robert Morris. John Calipari late game coaching was good again as Florida went into rupp Arena and took down number ten Kentucky in overtime, ninety four to ninety one. It's their first road win versus the top ten team since two thousand and one. Kentucky was up three in the closing seconds, but Calipari still hasn't learned that all you need to foil that you need to foul up three two thousand and eight. So Florida hit a game

time shot and then won an extras I never learned. Sometimes I really like Kentucky's team this year. I do most years, but man Calipari just is the weekly consistently on that team. Like the more I watch Kentucky, the more I think Calipari seems really over his head, which is weird to say about it. Guy that's had a lot of success he did. Like they're

late game execute. It's kind of like whenever you were so used to watching Patrick Mahomes and then you watch another team, like you watch a Thursday night game between two lousy teams, and the quarterback play it looks like you're watching a different language. That's kind of the way I feel about watching. I'm used to Bill selfs late game coaching, and really the Big twelve has a lot of very good coaches when it comes to in game decisions, and Cala

Perry just makes you scratch your head. Why are you not fouling up three? Why is Reed Shepard not touching the ball? Why does everything look so disorganized? And why does that team never score out of timeouts? It's preposterous. Enough about kin Telly cow though, Yeah, I know that that's your thing, But if they had followed up three, they would have won. So let's talk about the winning. So Nick, two questions for about Robert

Morris. First off, what state is Robert Morris University? Yet it's not Robert Morrise University. I think it's Robert Morris College. I think you're right, and I think it is. I think it is in the northeast Massachusetts or Pennsylvania. You're correct, Pennsylvania. Very nice. They were known as Robert Morris College until two thousand and two, and they've since been known as Robert Morris University. That's Robert Morris. The other thing that I'm curious,

can you tell me who Robert Morris was. He was like Tony wasn't. Yeah, it had to be have to be like a oil tycoon or something. He looks like a well, he looks like he was very well fed back in whatever era he was. There's his portrait. Robert Morris was called the official from their website, the official financer of the Revolution. He isn't as famous as his friend George Washington, but without Robert Morris, the American

colonel's bold attempt to throw off the British rule could have never succeeded. That's I didn't know he was that old geez so so. In this role play, Robert Morris College against Kentucky was the Americans and John Calipari was the British. John Calipari was King George. He used his He used his personal credit to secure loans for the colonel colonial forces as many ships and his in his mercantile fleet became privateers. So basically he was like the first ever loan shark

in America. Wait to go, Jackass, He's the speedy cash of seventeen sixty two. As you're driving through the middle of Missouri and all you see is adult video stores and liquor stores, and you see the Nita loane now like little shacks. That's Robert Morris was the first one of those. An immediate loan, regardless of your lions den on South thirty five seventeen seventy six was the interest rate on those loans. Oh, I like whenever the show

goes off the rails because it's more fun than talking about Rick Barnes. But Rick Barnes took an l this week South Carolina one at number five Tennessee. But that's cool. Plenty of National champions contenders lose at home to South Carolina. Nothing to worry about or even think about when you're penciling Rick Barnes into the final four of your bracket this year right, never has been, ever

will be. Your current has to see leaders umber twenty four Alabama. They're in the right place at the right time, at the top of the SEC standings. It was not the right joke to make for Alabama fourteen point halftime definitely to win at Georgia. Never doubt Campom folks, never ever do it. No ever. Did you know that Villanova is just eleven and ten now

lost at home to number nine Marquette. Yeah, ja. You should that because Kyle Neptune's the coach leading that league is still numbering Yukon, who snuck past Providence at home in an ugly game where Dan Holly was you only at the refs all night. Shocker. There are forty six total foul calls in the game, which was a Big East record. That wouldn't even be the

most of a Big twelve game this week. Isn't that a stat There was a record number of fouls for a Big East game called here and was less than how many they called on the same night in a Big twelve game. Like holy, I almost said holy buns. I feel like that should be our new that's the word of the shows, shouldn't There should never be holy buns. So I will take the Thursday news here, which is nebrasketball took down number six Wisconsin, overcoming a huge deficit. They were down by eighteen

early in the second half. Wisconsin maybe caught looking ahead a little bit to their Titanic showdown with the boiler Makers. On Sunday, Nebraska takes down the number six rank Badgers. They are five and five and Big ten play and they appeared to be on their way towards and at large, it's kind of amazing. Five and five. It's good for fifth place in a giant league, in the Big Ten, but we all know that that league's not very good. And the only other news was Arizona beating cal by twenty six,

So I feel like that might count as a loss. That's not enough. Uh, Purdue, do we talk about that? They baylorshur five Northwestern at home in overtime one oh five ninety six in a game where they shot four forty six free throws, the same number of fouls that were in the Big East game. Yep. That's more free throws though than Kevin mculeuor Hunter Dickinson and Dwan Harris have attempted combined. WHOA, I think you just skipped a total. You just skipped a lot of stuff. To be fair, Zach

Edy has taken two hundred and thirty one free throws on the season. Also, Northwestern only shot eight in the Yeah, that's so yeah to me. Their coach got ejected. I wonder why because their team shot five times less free throws. It was at the it was after the game ended. To the Northwestern coach there, it's a miracle they're in this game, they should have won. I mean, come on, I don't know I could look

at that and think they shouldn't have They should have won. The coach goes over to the raft after the game and really just lets him have it, throws a couple of clear f bombs and is pointing at him and the rat. The ref even though the game is overthrown, throws him out, like, look at me, I'm a raf. I can throw people out of games even though they're games not happening anymore. And the Northwestern coaches walking off the floor pumping up the crowd. The crowd loved it like it was a

great ejection if you, I'll tell you what. If you are on the wrong end of a forty six to eight free throw shooting discrepancy and you don't get ejected as a coach, you should be fired. That's life against Purdue. Tell me all about tell me that stat about the free throws. Did you read that whole thing? Uh? Not? Clearly, Zach Dye. He's taking two hundred and thirty one free throws this season. That is more than Kevin mccullar, Hunter Dickinson, and Dwan Harris have attempted combine this year.

That's crazy. And then I added looking forward to that cyclops going straight from college to a wheelchair at this point because he has been in college forever. Zach Edy has been in college since Robert Morris was giving out loans to the fight the Revolutionary War soldiers. It's true, and he's been good most of that time. Nick, tell me all about the U. Nick added all the thing here and I I, yeah, I don't think he's wrong. He is not wrong, unfortunately. Uh, but Missippi State, miss

Valley State, and Detroit Mercy are having a race to the bottom. You'd think they are in a tanking season. It'd be a tank off if it was pro sports, but it's not. They're just really really bad buns. If you will, Uh, Missie val there is a draft. Imagine who's gonna play first? Nick, I just want to know. This is more a better question. How many wins would Mississippi Valley State have if Hunter Dickinson

was in their starting lineup seven? They have a few. Yeah, let me look at Okay, let's they've beat a lot of swack teams with Hunter Dickinson. Yeah, Uh, they had so Mississippi Valley State this year. Yeah, you type in basketball and women's basketball is the first thing that pops up because nobody clicks on their ESPN page. So Mississippi Valley State lost to While they played a lot of good teams, they're not beating a lot of

these. They lost to Pacific and overtime. Gotta think if they have Hunter Dickinson, that's not happening. They lost to Alabama State by three. They lost to Alabama A and M by eight. They lost to Grambling by eight. I gotta think that at least those are dubbed with Hunter. Yeah, I would think. So. Would Mississippi Valley State beat the best WNBA team of all time? No? Yes, they lose by thirty. I think they would. You actually don't think they would, like Nick, you wonte

the quote. Oh no, sorry, no, I'm sorry. I meant to say that they Missisippi Valley State would win by thirty. Yeah, by thirty, that's yeah? Actually that maybe land On what do you say? People? People do not understand the discrepancy between wins and women's sports. The US women's national team, which won like what three or three straight World Cups, lost to a U twelve boys soccer. They did. Yep, it's

a big yeah. I I this is true, though, I do think like anyone that brings that discussion up is doing a discredit to women's athletics, because that should not be trying to do that either at all. That isn't the mean exactly like like you're not comparing apples to apples, but I mean when when you are kind of arguing for the same pay as them. No, I think that's totally in correct. I think same athleticism has nothing to do with what they should be compensated either. Which way, Yes, Mississippi

Valley State would be in a w NBA team by it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Ranked teams to lose since the last show, most of them are very highly ranked. Number three North Carolina finally on this list, lost to Georgia Tech. Number five Tennessee man Rick Barnes lost the game. He shouldn't have men. Color me surprised he lost. South Carolina. Number six six Whiskey lost the nebrasket. Bunses Nebraska good at basketball. Yeah, for the first time in a long time. You go, Hoyburg. Number ten,

Kentucky it might be Bonds lost the floor. Number fifteen Texas Tech. They lost a TCU number nineteen. New Mexico lost the Boise State. Boise State be good. And the Mountain West is like the third best league in America right now last weekend pick them Landon. You're catching up, but you still have a ways to go, Yep, ask Rock Chuck blog. Finally, Nick can look for sham. Let's see here at can't woop golf? What a team of five Wilder evers beat the greatest w NBA team of all

time? That might be where I start to draw the line. Uh yeah he would really Yes? Sorry, she again has no bearing on money, has zero bearing on money, but yes, athlete for athlete. Yep also says, will the bench score a single point against Houston? Yeah, they'll score. They'll score something, all right. What if I gave you an over under of five and a half points under? Yeah? I think that's an under. That's terrible. Nick is typing a question? Would you a

question for Nick? Here? Would you rather date a girl with red hair and tattoos or a dry white brunette that spends all of your money and kills your family? Nick, It's like, well, I don't need my family. If you think about it we can do with money in a family if you're stuck with a redhead? Am I right? I would a better question, Would you spend all your money and kill your family today to girl with red hair and tattoos? No? Okay, Landa's not even gonna entertain even

trying to see the humor in any of this. Fine, I'll just read the next question at show Me Hawk. Why are KSE State fans trying to give us crap for playing home football games in Kansas City next season? In k State? Case, State fans are running out of things to be mad about. Well, they can be mad at their four for twenty eight from three. Hey, enjoy being two games worse than Kansas and conference play next year? Oh wow, that you think, and they're still gonna they're still

gonna beat Kansas. Yeah, but that might be Kansas only lost. I was gonna start reading next next question now I will not at Preston skirtsink. Why do people complain about the officiating and Allen field House being so one sided when you have games like last night with Produce shooting forty more free throws than Northwestern Because the media picks and chooses what they think people will be angry about and they know that people will be angry about Alan Fieldhouse, bad officiating moments,

accurate. So was the question? What did you say? Nick? I said what was the question? And Land said accurate statements. Over all of that at Cope Fraud. If Houston opens as a favorite, how quickly does it get to bet where Kansas is at they I would be surprised if Kansas was an underdog. They've been an underdog one time ever at at Allen Fieldhouse under Bill self. It was the Baylor game in twenty twenty one. Kansas wound up winning that game by double digits, and that was with a

ten percent Allen field House capacity. I think they'll be favored by a couple points. They should be at Jayhawk Junkies. Do you think Houston will double Hunter or do you think they'll go straight up with Roberts. If they do go straight up, I think Hunter Digginson will abuse him. Yeah. So Houston is really good on defense, but they're not particularly tall. They start

a six seven and six' eight duo in the front court. I do think they will double Hunter Digginson because why would they need to not or why would they need to put a body on kJ if he's going to catch the ball in the perimeter, force Dewan Harrison kJ Adams to shoot threes. Dewan Harris, K welcome, make him do it. Make him take those shots all right? Since Nick is distracted, Landa, this is a good time to sneak this in here from at rockchuk Aj Landon. I respect all of

the points you made a by Ross on the last show. Here's where I have a problem, though, you and Ryan both said Joey and Rachel forever. Why are we looking over Joey's transgressions. I mean, he fell in love with Rachel when she was pregnant with Ross's child. You don't do that with your best friend's ex girlfriend when they had a serious relationship together. Plus, I don't think Joey really fell in love with Rachel. He only felt like he had to fall in love because she was single and pregnant. I

think his feelings were based off of sympathy for Rachel. He did the same thing earlier with Phoebe when he thought Phoebe was pregnant. He even tried to propose to her. He then turned around and tried to propose to Rachel when he found out that Rachel. It was Rachel who was pregnant. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not one hundred percent on team Ross. We

were on a break was overplayed and also incorrect. You don't do that to somebody right after you broke up with somebody, especially somebody who you had a serious relationship with. I will, however, still stand behind the fact that Ross and Rachel were meant to be together. I will overlook your horrible take if you can agree with me on this one point. Chandler is the best friend's character, and Chandler and Monica's relationship was the best relationship to come out

of the show. Agreed and agreed, hands down, not even close. Chandler Chandler Being Forever and Chandler Monica is my favorite section of the show, hands down, not a question. Look at that they kissed and made up? Nick, aren't we proud of them? AJ? I love that? That was like the most well thought out details. What show are you talking about? Are you talking about community or also show? Community is also Ratio

and Jeff Forever? You're talking about friends? Yeah, Landon and AJ have gone back and forth a little bit about friends and and AJ got pretty pretty angry at Landon on the last show. So I'm glad to see that it's all water under the bridge at this point. At Cooper reefs ten, what are your thoughts on Steph Curry versus Sabrina Lewensku's three point contest happening soon? Now? This is fun? This is this is we can do this kind

of stuff with with men v women in competition. I think this will be fun, and Cooper says, and why would Trey King beat both of them? It was in Allenfield if only if he's in on Field house, Yeah, exactly. Steph Curry will win by a lot. What are we doing here? Like it's gonna be fun? Yes, is a sharp shooter. She had one of the most impressive three point competition outings that I've ever seen last year. She's good. She's not Steph. No one on planet Earth

is Steph. It'll be closer than you think. What's the what's that? What are the rules? Does it make as many as you can in thirty seconds or sixty seconds or something? I assume it's like around the horn three point competition style, But I haven't. I guess I haven't actually read the

rules. I guess it's just catch and shoot, so that's probably the way that you can make it the most balanced that I will watch though, I bet I. This was announced not too long ago and I was I am looking forward to watching it, but I think Steph wins by a comfortable margin. Last question is a football question from I actually know we have two more here. Let's go ahead and do Cooper Reefs ten with a football question.

I believe this is realistic. Tell me I'm wrong. And it is a screenshot of the twelve Kansas football games next year where there's only two losses West Virginia and camp as a state ten and two. What are you? What say you guys? Uh? I think that's pretty reasonable. I think they really have a real shot to like do something extremely historic next season. It is dependent on the health of a historically very unhealthy man, and that is

Jalen Daniels. That's like saying Kansas basketball would kick ass if Almarco Jackson just played like he did against Oklahoma State. That's that's an exaggeration. That's an exaggeration. But uh, if Jalen it can stay healthy for conference play, uh, they can win the Big Twelve straight up at Illinois is tougher than people think. I think they're gonna lose. I think they're gonna lose to K State. I think they're gonna lose to the better than ky State though,

if they stay healthy. I think they're gonna lose to West Virginia on the road, and I know that's like that. That one's closer. Uh BYU on the road is not super easy either, and then there's always a home game, like I mean, geez, and you have to deal with with teams like you know, TCU is always pretty Colorado is a complete wild card. I think they're gonna be better than four and eight. It just depends on how much better the safe record is eight and four that it would

be disappointing for a lot of Kansas fans. They're going to be better than eight and four. They're going to be better than eight and four if they're healthy. If they're healthy. The schedule is soft. But you said they're gonna better than eight and four if they're healthy, and I said eight and four safe because the safe bet is Jalen Daniels ain't playing twelve games. If he plays ten, they're gonna win ten. Huh. I think that's a

little ambitious. If he plays the whole year and I gave you an over under a nine and a half, he taken over, Yeah, I really would, I really would. They got a great, big schedule if he stays healthy, Yes, but I have to see it happen. It's one of those things that I have to see happen. I'm tired of being told if he stays healthy, because we'll see. I think you have to project. I think you have to project wins and losses for all teams with the

projected starters until those are no longer the projected stars. So with the projected starters, I think they're at least a ten maybe eleven win team maybe, and they have a chance to again be better than that. I think they're not gonna win a national championship like Georgia will clown that. I think they can get to the College Football Playoff. They're gonna be really good. They could genuinely go to the Collegeable Playoff. They really have a chance. I

think it's I think people gotta pump the brakes a little bit. Nine and three twelve. Teams that get in this year nine and three, I'll be over. The zoo was top twelve this year, you think Missoo's Kansas can be in part with how Maszoo was this year, I absolutely think they could the championship contender. Missoo's really good. Yes, and they're much better than their basketball team, which, by the way, lost by like fifteen at home to a one in seven Arkansas team the other day. We didn't talk

about that. Missouri's oh to nine and sec play sounds like what's his name? Isn't ripping his shirt off this year? At and last question at show Me Hawk, would you rather k women's basketball make the Final four or KU baseball make the College World Series in the next few years? Couldn't care about not watch, so pick one for me. It's fine. Oh, I think if KU women made the Final four, I think we get amped for

that. I think that'd be fun. That would be way cooler than baseball, to be fair, because basketball is an infinitely better sport than baseball. Yeah, baseball is the worst sport ever invented. That's not true. It's not. Soccer is worse than baseball. Fall. No, that's an awful take. I I already have four sporting games lined up this season. Wow, all right, Well, enjoy all six of their goals. Baseball is the most boring waste a drive to a stadium last year. Baseball is so

awful. Soccer is just such a better sport than baseball. Like it is beautiful. It really is the beautiful game. It's it's also like you're the dudes are running around for ninety plus minutes in a game, a lot of them white guys baseball heat just go to like the local cookouts. Yeah, exactly, and then baseball your standing. They've done a better job with the

pitch clock. But for a while, there's just let's stand in a really tight pants and just stay at the plate and swing a little bit, and then maybe I'll get struck out, or maybe I'll I'll hit a pop fly and and we'll win the six to two, and there are one hundred and sixty seven thousand game schedule, and then finally the postseason happened, right as

all the exciting sports are taking place and in the fall. Uh, It's just it's a I do get Ryan loves it because it is the most statistically robust sport and hours at a time just thinking about nothing but Bobby witz strikeout rate. Yeah, which I don't even know what it is, but that's

the thing. You can keep his launch angles and his launch see the nerd stats have kind of I'm such an analytic person with the NFL and with football and with basketball, but with baseball, I just like the classic stats. I don't want to hear about your launch angle. You just how a bach Oberg guy exactly right. Yeah, Like that's like the people, the nerds that try to tell me Salvador Perez's forty eight homer season was actually a net

negative because of all his his bat speeds and all that. It's like he hit forty eight omers. I don't want to hear your nerd stats. Uh. Yes, I would rather see the basketball team make Final four. K like seeing how good Allen field House was in the n I T run I think as a preview for that. But KSE state's basketball team, women's basketball team legitimate the final four? What did you say? K State's women's team can make KSE state women are ridiculous? They also own Caitlyn Clark beating her

twice. Uh, Caitlyn Clark won once. No, they split. I thought that that No, k k State won at No. That's their one losses to Iowa they played to home and away Taiowa. They played them twice in one year. Yeah, I knew that KSE State beat them in Iowa City last year. Is that really true? What a stupid thing? Uh? You're right? Wow? I sorry dat do? They played in Okay so I see what happened. So they had the game scheduled to play them in Iowa City and they beat them. And then they also happened to be

in the same Golf Case Golf Coast Showcase tournament on Thanksgiving Week. That's Okay State lost. So there they they're wind streaks over. They lost Oklahoma, Yeah they did. They lost Oklahoma yesterday. I think number two team in the country. But you know, still still good. Nick, Would you date a woman with two tattoo sleeves that had season tickets to the Royals and made you go to all eighty one home games? A woman with tattoos and

it makes me go to the Royals games. But otherwise, you guys are great compatibility match. Oh my gosh, they can go to a baseball game. It's been eighty one, sir. The eighty one is like thirty percent of your nights at Kauffin Stadium. Just leave my corpse, my dead corpse in the stands, and the Royals would win twenty eight of those eighty one games. Oh at best. Oh my gosh. If anyone goes to eighty one straight Royals games, I think that you just deserve to be like,

get your own big press box or something. Yeah, it's they do that in baseball? Or is it just like I wouldn't see. I don't know. I feel bad for the announcers because when that the Royals are twenty three and forty right, Well, he's been retired for a couple of years, and somehow the team got worse, and I preferred them whenever they're worse without him than I did whenever they were better with him. If you ever have asked RCBS use the Twitter hashtag as RCB, maybe we should do that.

Well, I have to change. Thank you so much for your friend's question. That was truly great. Uh. You're also not entirely wrong about Joey, to be fair, but you know, I still I still like Joey and Rachel a lot. Well, guys, I don't think that seeing very many friends when these two teams meet on the court this day, number four Houston at number eight Kansas. It's a huge showdown that's worthy of sonic block just kidding there in Durham or wherever that they're in Chapel Hill. It's a

sonic blockbuster. But it's not College game Day. That's right, Saturday, February third, three o'clock PM. Landon will be there, which is interesting. You've never seen Kansas lose a home game. This is definitely the best chance you've had. Yeah, that's true. I'll be taking your grandma your delight. Yeah, all the listeners are like, huh, probably listening to that, but we can you know. That's that's that's uh, that's how

it goes sometimes. The Houston Cougars are the best team in college basketball according to Ken Palm and most of the metric driven rankings. They enter at nineteen and two overall. The losses are to Iowa State and TCU by combined five points, so there are a couple of bounces of the ball away from being twenty one to zero. They enter on a five game winning streak. The guard are Three guards make up one of the sport's best backcourts, with former

Baylor sharp shooter LJ. Crier leading the team with fifteen points a night. He shoots thirty eight percent on a huge volume volume of eight three pointers attempted per night. The point guard is Jamal Shed Jamal Charles Shed, not really, He's arguably the country's best point guard. He garverages twelve points, six assists, four rebounds while playing Dewan Harris caliber defense. And then the three guard Emmanuel Sharp adds twelve points of his own as the Cougar's best slashing scorer.

So that backcourt you have to watch it all three ways, and Johnny Furfey is decidedly going to be tested in that regard for sure. The front court is anchored by six seven power forward jay Wan Roberts, who averages nine to seven and shoots almost sixty percent from the floor in his career. He's a terrible free throw shooter that should be put on the line at all costs. The starting center is six stint z Javier Francis, who averages six and

six but fouls a lot and struggles to stand on the floor. Damian Dunn and Joseph are the other two names to note. So my analysis of Houston I feel more strongly about than just about any team I've analyzed this year. Watch Houston more than any Kansas opponent, and they are indisputedly, from all the numbers and from the Eyeball test, the best defensive team in college basketball.

They are first nationally and points allowed, field goal percentage defense, two point percentage defense, defensive shots allowed, defensive shots made, and turnovers forced. Can't be much better than that. Opponents are also shooting a apocalyptically bad twenty eight percent on threes against them. That is top ten. Some of that's due to the schedule, It's been a little higher in Big Twelve play, but still that's ridiculous, especially for those of you who believe three point

defense is a thing. Offensively, they are a slow paced, the middle of the run team that shoots the three at a decent thirty five percent clip, but truly excels at one thing offensive rebounding. They only make forty three percent of their shots, but whenever you snag fifteen offensive board, which is not just first but it's first by a mile, you can make up a lot here. They remind me a lot of some of those vintage Bob Huggins

West Virginia teams that were so good on the offensive glass. They were so good on the glass offensively, and they're so good at forcing turnovers. They just frustrate you NonStop. But this team I think is way I don't know about way better. They're better than any West Virginia team we've seen all time. Kansas is five and two and seven matchups with the Cougars. Their losses

were in nineteen sixty seven to nineteen eighty three. They've only played once since nineteen eighty seven, which is in the two thousand and one Maui Invitational. So the first matchup between these two in twenty three years? What are we thinking? Guys? I'll lead off keys to this game. It's not gonna be Dickinson, It's not gonna be mccoler. They'll play fine. This isn't gonna be a game played in the eighties. You get to sixty five at home and I think they win. This is gonna to be all about who

can help get you there? Because points are gonna be at a premium. Can Al Marco Jackson get you eight points? Boy? Would that be huge in this game? Eight in this game would be more valuable than twenty against Oklahoma State. Can Johnny Furfy get in double digits? That'd be huge? This is the best defense he's gonna see. They will have a scouting report for him. As Kansas is only credible and deadly three point shooter. Can he not get cooked on the other end? Then there's that, right,

How's Kansas going to defend that three headed beast of Houston Wings? You trust to one Harris to do what he can against Shed. I don't think Shed's gonna have the game of his career because he's going against a great defender. You trust mccullor probably gonna be stuck to LJ. Cryer unless Crier's going off and then you slide Harris over there. We've seen self not be afraid to do that when Crier was lighting Kansas up in Waco all those years. It's

all gonna be about the offensive end for me. What can Kansas's pieces do. I don't think they're gonna lose this game because I can't get enough stops. If they lose it, I think it comes down to they can't make enough shots. But Allen Field House, where Bill Seff has lost just seventeen times, Kansas has played really, really well against the elite teams this year. They've beaten three top ten teams self is undefeated and Top ten showdowns whenever

his team is the lower ranked team. I think it continues Houston's first true Big time showdown as a Big twelve team. I think it's a very good game. I don't want to say classic because I think it's gonna be ugly, but I think Kansas wins late sixty eight to sixty six in a game that's got us all feeling a lot better about Kansas's chances of rounding into their

potential. Nick Yeah, I think Kansas is gonna win this game. I just like you said, Alan field House is just such a at least a five point advantage against teams, and I think that if this game has played on a neutral site, Houston would be favorite around three or four. So I think Kansas pulls this game out seventy it's too high for Houston. I'm gonna say sixty nine to sixty three. I think that is a good win

for the Jayhawks. Obviously would be a good win for the Jocks. But I do think that this is gonna be a game where we see kJ Adams get a little bit more assertive in the rebounding category because he's gonna need to be for them to be play well against Houston. Houston has only allowed seventy points once this year, and it took Texas until the final seconds of overtime to get there. In other words, if Kansas can hit seventy, I think they win. Yeah, I'm also taking Kansas to win here. I

do think a couple matchups to note. Emmanuel Sharp, I think is a guy you're gonna have to watch. I think that matchup bodes well because it is likely going to be like Almarco Jackson and Johnny Furfey, who are gonna draw him on defense, and I think his cutting ability could give those guys a lot of problems. And then Hunter Dickinson, in his at times lack of awareness down low, he's gonna have to play a really nice defensive game.

I think Sharp's gonna have a nice night because of those things. I don't think it's gonna cost Kansas the game by any stratch, because I do think Hunter Dickinson is going to absolutely eat on the offensive end. I think he's gonna have a big night. He's gonna get to the free throw line a lot. He's gonna make a lot of his free throws. I think Kansas is gonna have a lot of success on the inside. Kevin mccullor is probably gonna have quite a lot of free throw attempts as well. Get into

the bucket. But yeah, I agree with Ryan. I think this is going to be a relatively ugly game. But I do think Kansas is going to win a very exciting game, an iconic game. I think seventy to sixty six Jayhawks win in what is sure to be a raucous Allen Field House. And something else to note too. Houston fouls a lot. They foul a lot, and they don't call a lot of it because the Big twelve refs one thing. And also they get a good home court whistle. We

all know what that typically means at Allen Field House. It wouldn't surprise me if Houston is in foul trouble hell because their style is going to be whistled more by the Big twelve refs at Allen field House. It just is themselves is going to be in their ears. This exact same game is going to be officiated very differently in Houston. Kansas wants more whistles. The more whistles that these guys tweet, the better it is for Kansas, even though they're

benches depleted, because Houston just doesn't shoot the free throw that well. And I think the uglier this game is It's kind of weird to say because Houston so good at dragging games into the mud, But I think the uglier this game is Kansas is the more battle tested team. I think that Kansas will

come out on top, but it will be very, very good. Other games in the Big twelve Kansas State at Oklahoma State Wildcats playing Kansas at home on Big Monday, Hello, look ahead, give me Mike Boyton's dead man walking, but they win here. Cowboys. Yeah, i's gonna say four straight losses for the tang Give me the Cowboys. Uh yeah, I guess Texas at number twenty five TCU give me the Frogs. Yep, yeah, I TCU. Number twenty three Oklahoma at Central Florida. You guys feel feeling

the Knights, No sooners, I am. I am. Give me the Knights at home Cincinnati at number fifteen, Texas Tech, I will take the Red Raiders. They're hard to beat in Lubbock. Agreed, Yeah, Number twenty two b YU at West Virginia. I am feeling the Mountaineers. Getting hot. Give me them at home. I will agree with you there as well. Bay you Landon. If you're per correct and pick them, you won't want to know who has more big twelve wins between West Virginia and Kansas

State. Yeah, it could be equal number twelve Iowa State at number eighteen. Baylor, Boy, this feels like a trap, a big, ugly trap. I will fall into it. Gimme Scott Drew oh Man, I was really tempted to be Give me the Bears Baylor other games. Number one, you con at Saint John's. Everybody else in the top six, maybe eight, has lost this week? Is uh are the Husky? How good is Saint John's? They're coached by Hall of Famer. I'll go with it.

They're not very good man. I wish the internet would cooperate for four seconds. Uh Yukon close, Nick, I already picked a Yukon Number sixteen. Auburn at Ole Miss Chris Beard's team, who I think sucks. Give me the Tigers Auburn, buy as many points as you are legally like. I'll take Miss Yep Yep number seven. Duke at number three U n C. Tobacco Road, I'll take the tar holes. But I hope the game sucks because ESPN, uh yeah, you and Carolina number five, Tennessee at

number ten Kentucky great games everywhere this week. Too bad ESPN will only be focused on one of them and four top ten matchups in one one weekend. I will take Tennessee on the road. I think they're the better team. I was gonna go that same way as well. Wow, look at us back to back losses for at rough and number two Perdue at number six Wisconsin. Boy, I've gone back and forth in this what I like to do when the best few teams in the conference play. I think that one is

a lot better than the other. I want Perdue on the road. Yeah, Zach e Edi is a monster. I don't know how he stopped that guy. All Right, next show Sunday, right, we gotta do Sunday shows now because they got big Monday coming up. That's true. Yeah. And the no Chiefs football this weekend? Yeah? Why is that? Because they got eliminated in the first round right by those scary Dolphins. That's why they're only those case Landon predicted earlier that Patrick Mahomes would win nine or ten

Super Bowls prediction I went down to eight or nine. I really actually do think this team is about to redefine what winning looks like in the NFL. If that happens, I'm I already have decided I'm done with the Chiefs. When Mahomes is done, it's never getting better. I'm quitting after he retires. Yeah, I don't like dynasties, So go Lions. Landon's gonna start rooting against the Chiefs. So Landon, You'll be at Allen Field House on Saturday. I'll be fun and then we'll watch k State make a lot of

threes against kau on Monday night. That sounds like a fun way to spend three days. Still lose because kay State's not very good. But yes, I will be there on Saturday looking forward to Its gonna be quite the atmosphere. I'm sure. What if that's the game kse State loses an overtime? What if it's k at home? It wasn't last year watched Bill Self icing his way into a buzzer beating three. Hey, Jerome Tang would be nine and one in overtime if Bill self didn't ice Jalen Wilson right as he launched

a three, when he was on an all time heater. That's true. Remember that it would have put him at forty and Bill. Bill was like, oh my guy on it here is about to shoot it. Time out. Damn it. Bill. I I am Joey and the Superman costume in that one episode with the holiday armadillo. I'm I'm ever Wielders. Thanks for listening this far. Seriously, you guys are you guys are we don't We don't deserve good fans, let alone any fans at all. Yeah bye,
