Jerome Tang Makes K-State Crisis Even Messier; Is BYU in Trouble After KU Loss?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Kansas hoops chaos, BYU’s reality check, and the Jerome Tang situation just got uglier.
In this live show, I break down the Darryn Peterson conundrum after KU vs BYU. He looked like the best player in the country…then barely played in the second half again. Can Kansas actually win a national title if Peterson can’t gut out full games? Plus, Richie Saunders may have just changed his career in one night, and BYU’s back-to-back losses raise a real question: are the Cougars in trouble, or just settling into their real ceiling?
Then we get into K-State’s free fall. After another brutal week, Jerome Tang’s press conferences are pouring gasoline on the fire. When you’re 10-12, 1-8 in the Big 12, and you’ve got a roster that cost what it cost, the margin for excuses is basically zero.
