At the time of the recording, KU is still scheduled to kick off the season on Thanksgiving against the #1 Gonzaga Bulldogs.

Gary also discusses Devon Dotson and Udoka Azubuike and how they both fared in the NBA Draft.
(35:07) In Wichita State Shocker basketball news, the team is heading home from Sioux Falls, South Dakota after multiple COVID-19 cases among the traveling party. The Shockers pull out of the Bad Boy Mowers Crossover Tournament scheduled for later this week. Also, Wichita State hires former Texas A&M head coach Billy Kennedy to round out Isaac Brown's staff at WSU. Plus, Fred Van Vleet signs the largest NBA contract ever for an undrafted player. Tommy and Weston discuss all of this.
