00:00So now as we take a look at the season outlook for Kansas, what are the expectations for KU

00:06this time around? The expectations are still to be a contender for the Big 12 regular season title

00:12and a high seat in the NCAA tournament, but Kansas needs, as I said, more out of its supporting cast

00:18and that's directly related to me, to AJ Storr, who we know was the best player on a Wisconsin

00:23team last year that earned a very high seat in the NCAA tournament. It's ironic to me because

00:29I'm looking at the Big 12, which has been year in year out the best conference in college

00:34basketball. Right now from a national perspective, Kansas has not played as well as many thought it

00:40would play and Houston, dare I say it, is a little bit of a sleeper right now under Kelvin Sampson.

00:46Houston had close losses to Auburn and Alabama early, also lost the game to San Diego State

00:51in Las Vegas. So the best wins for the Cougars are a neutral site win over Notre Dame and a home win

00:57over Butler. Last night they won a game at Oklahoma State, but Kansas and Houston, two of the

01:02bellwether programs in this conference, are really, I don't want to say off the radar, but they're not

01:08at the top of the radar.
