00:03 Bill Self telling reporters last night that Kansas will be without Kevin McCuller
00:08 Jr for the entirety of the NCAA tournament.
00:11 How significant, John, is the absence of McCuller for
00:14 the Jayhawks in the big dance?
00:16 >> I mean, look, it's significant on both sides of the ball.
00:19 I mean, this is a guy with two triple doubles.
00:20 It's not just like he's a good scorer every now and then.
00:24 He's their leading scorer.
00:25 It's not like he's a good defender.
00:27 He's their best defender.
00:29 So it is significant.
00:30 The other part is Hunter Dickinson's not healthy.
00:33 So Hunter Dickinson's not healthy, no Kevin McCuller.
00:37 In a very matter of fact way, by the way,
00:39 which almost makes you think that they made this decision a while ago.
00:43 And there was a little gamesmanship there.
00:45 But I'm very concerned about Kansas.
00:48 I was concerned about Kansas all season.
00:50 I never really liked their balance, never liked their depth.
00:53 I thought they were good because of the personnel they had.
00:55 But when you start chipping away at that personnel, you got problems.
00:58 So major concerns for Kansas.
01:01 If that's the case, I mean, they're gonna have to really prove that they even
01:04 deserve the seating they got.
