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.
