In my latest appearance on Rock Chalk Sports Talk with Nick Schwerdt, Schwerdt kicked things off by asking if I thought that the 2018-19 Kansas basketball team could set a new mark in the amazing streak of 14 Big 12 Conference titles in a row.
Not by pushing that mark to 15, which nearly every college basketball fan in America believes will happen sometime early next year, but by winning the conference by more games than any other Bill Self team in the past.
It was a doozy of a question, one I was not fully prepared to dive into. But that’s what makes Schwerdt so good at his job. He brings interesting topics week in and week out — day in and day out in his case — and always makes you think and look at things beyond face value.
There have been some awfully good Kansas teams that have won the conference by fewer than three or four games. And some not-so-strong KU teams that shocked a bunch of people and won the conference with ease.
Either way, the topic was terrific for some August basketball chatter and it made me think about this 2018-19 team and season in a way that I had not yet gotten around to.
For my thoughts and Schwerdt’s reaction to that and a couple of other topics that came up during the course of our latest conversation, give this week’s segment a listen below.
