I'm particularly interested in seeing how KJ guards Tshiebwe (and vise versa).

Hopefully KJ can stay out of 1st half foul trouble.

Zuby or Udeh could be a surprise today against their big fella. Not sure KJ and/or Zach can handle him alone.

Gots my carnival font Rock Chalk Jayhawk shirt on, the exact same shirt I wore when KU beat down UK circa 06 aka the Brandon Rush Show, which also appears if you find me wearing it in the front row of the student section in the giant wall mural from that fame that now displays in AFH

Big one today!

(Of the 8 teams playing on ESPN and ESPN2’s prime time broadcasts, only one ranked among the bunch)

ESPN+ schedule set way out in advance. When everyone thought kstate was still going to suck. Wish they could change that on the fly like they do for CFB.

Need a big game from KU today to avoid dropping 2 games back in the Big 12 loss column. Texas' next 2 games are @ KSU and @KU so Kansas can do themselves some big favors by getting a W tonight. So long as KSU doesn't start out insane from 3 I think we can get this win.

Spread is at -8.5 now. Could be a comfortable win.

How many times has KU covered during Big 12 play? We were 7 point favorites at home vs. TCU as well. That means nothing to me.

Oh I get it. Nothing is guaranteed.

But the fact we are 7pt favorites after losing 3 of 4 lets me know the projections/simulations have us winning easily.

I hope they get it right. The Chiefs gave my heart some strain this weekend so I would love nothing more than a comfortable victory.
