Summary
Kansas' loss at Texas has many wondering if the Jayhawks will fail to finish atop the Big 12's regular season standings for the first time in a decade and a half. Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander start on that, then get to the eligibility case of Silvio De Sousa (11:00), which is expected to be resolved in the coming days. From there, the guys touch on Baylor's surprising January (16:50), make the cases for Grant Williams and Ethan Happ to challenge Zion Williamson for NPOY (23:00) and lay out the problems with Chris Mullin at St. John's (32:30). At the end, there's a Trivia Time session that goes a little sideways too.

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, it's Scary Parish. It's Wednesday, January 30, 2019. Welcome back to the Ion College |
| 0:11.0 | basketball podcast when we sometimes discuss Campbell Fighting and Leaky Black, Matt, |
| 0:14.4 | Norlanda is here with me. And I want to open on the Big 12 because it's been an interesting |
| 0:18.2 | past two days in the Big 12. A Monday night Baylor went to Oklahoma in one by 30. By 30, |
| 0:24.6 | to extend its winning streak to five games. So Scott Drew's Bears are now five and two |
| 0:28.3 | in the league. Tywin Kansas State and only Kansas State, a top to Big 12 standings. And |
| 0:32.8 | that's because Kansas lost 73-63 Tuesday night at Texas. So the J-Hawks are now 16 and |
| 0:38.9 | five overall, five and three in the Big 12. But the even more concerning thing is that KU |
| 0:42.6 | has now just formed for since Yadoka as a bookie suffered a season ending hand injury. And |
| 0:47.8 | they're just one and five in road games on the season. So let's start here. Norlanda, |
| 0:51.4 | you have consistently said you will not pick anybody other than Kansas in the Big 12 until |
| 0:56.9 | KU string of at least a share of 14 straight Big 12 titles is broken. But right now Kansas |
| 1:02.4 | is tied for third to Big 12 standings. The J-Hawks are trending in the wrong direction and |

| 1:12.1 | Are you ready to abandon Bill Self? Are you ready to say KU streak of Big 12 titles? |
| 1:17.2 | It's coming to an end. Question, where did you have Iowa State picked in the league? |
| 1:22.6 | Answer, I'd have been, couldn't possibly remember something. Answer, I know it was |
| 1:26.7 | six. I had them second. How we're doing? Good morning. I can't believe it's been three |
| 1:29.8 | days since we had a podcast this week. It's flying by. I will not abandon my, I will not abandon my |
