Summary

It's not good that the biggest discussion topic off a huge Big 12 Thursday game is the officiating. But that's the case with Kansas' 58-57 win at Texas Tech Thursday night. GP and Norlander start there, then get into the myths and facts about Billikens (14:00). Oh by the way: Saint Louis is 6-0. After a conversation that goes in many directions, it’s time for the Final Four (and one), with picks and previews for the weekend (27:00). Included is talk on Gonzaga-Iowa, Louisville-Wisconsin, UNC-Kentucky and Indiana-Butler, among others!

Hey there, it's Gary Perchett's Friday, December 18, 2020. Welcome back to the CBS Sports Eye on College Basketball Podcast, where we sometimes discuss

0:47.5

Camel fighting and leaky black Matt Norlander is here with me and I suppose we'll open on the most notable result from Thursday night.

0:54.5

Final score number five Kansas 58 number 14 Texas Tech 57 Ochaibaji cut to the rim got a layup with 12.6 seconds left to put Kansas up 58 57.

1:06.5

Then at the other end, Jaylen Wilson blocked a tarant Shannon shot final second secured the rebound. That was that Kansas shot 40.4% from the film again.

1:15.5

Texas Tech shot 32.3. So it wasn't the prettiest game in the history of the sport, but as a close game, close games are fun, Norlander. What'd you make a bill self Jay Hawks going inside United Supermarket arena and escaping with a victory.

1:30.5

You kidding me? Is that actually the name of this thing? Yeah, used to be called something else. And now it's United Supermarket arena.

1:36.5

Well, we'll rename it whenever they host a game worthy of picking on a Friday final four and one couple of things here. First of all, way too many damn people inside that arena. Did you pick up on this as well?

1:51.5

Listen, it's Texas. What do you know? I know. I'm just saying my wife was watching in the room with me. She's like, are you kidding me? What do you want me to say here? A lot of people.

2:01.5

A lot of people. Big 12s got a quite a few people in the joint there. Number two, I spent more than three hours shoveling on Thursday. I got dumped with a foot of snow up here in Connecticut.

2:16.5

So chasing my kids around. I mean, it was fun, but it was it was rough work here. You know, it was a it was a year ago. It was a year ago when this leg was dead.

2:27.5

I'm able to get out there and give a good shovel. I bring this up because you know, with that, I don't know, seven minutes to go in the first half. Kids are down. I'm on the couch. Next thing I know there's like eight minutes to go in the game.

2:41.5

Past out. I missed half this game. I was asleep, but I had to catch the end of it. And by the way, Texas Tech has a new court design. I thought that was pretty pretty poppin. I like that. I did catch the end. I watched the beginning, missed the middle. Ugly game.

2:58.5

A lot of people bitch in about the officiating, which was completely legitimate. There were some rough calls, parish, rough. I mean, some I'm not one of those people like Rob Duster.

3:14.5

Who believes in Mark Titus, who believes that the charge should be taken out of college basketball. It should not. It is actually a viable defensive strategy to offset players just putting their head down and trying to bowl through like you need the charge in basketball. It exists for a reason.

3:35.5

But there were a couple of instances on Thursday night. These were straight up not charges and this help defense. I'm going to slide over the last second, not even be fully set and get a little bit of a hip check and draw a charge is absolute garbage.

3:49.5

To me, it's not even the correct interpretation of the rule. Perhaps some offici officials and those who oversee the officials would disagree.

3:58.5

But I thought big takeaway. Kansas got a good win. Ugly win. But that was not the kind of like if that stuff happened in a tournament, it would be dominating the sports landscape talk.
