#THE SENIOR GAME sending off just Marcus (maybe), as Chris and Mitch have announced
they are staying for their COVID19 extra year.
The Jayhawks never lost a Senior Game in 20 years under
Larry Brown (5 seasons, 1983-88) and
Roy Williams (15 seasons, 1988-2003).
Bill Self's teams have expanded the streak to 38 years running. The last time KANSAS
lost a Senior Game -- usually the final home game of the season for our Jayhawks --
was on Mar 2, 1983 -- NU 60 KU 58
Note well -- I like Bryce Thompson, and think he will be an excellent player
in his career. I highlight the Thompson injury above as it points out that
even losing a bench player can make a difference in a team's performance
if the drop off between that player and the "next man up" is significant enough.The conference Golden Ticket tournament runs...

Saturday is a sunny and mild December day in Lawrence as our #7AP/#5 Coaches Kansas Jayhawks host the
North Dakota State University Bison
for another ALLEN FIELDHOUSE...
... Buh duh DUH duh DUH DUH duh duh duh duh DUH DUH DUH ... BALL DAY!!
Our Jayhawks (3-1, 0-0) and the Bison (0-3, 0-0) tip off at 3 p.m. (CT) on ESPN+, Dave Armstrong (play-by-play) and Nick Bahe (analyst) our talking heads.

ESPN's Basketball Power Index favors Kansas 97.1% to 2.9%, with an estimated 24 point winning margin.

KUAthletics.com Game Day Notes
NB: Just a reminder as we move deeper into this COVID19 afflicted season that the Game Day Notes are darned impressive. This edition contains thirty two (32) pages comprising a media – and fan – mini-mother lode of KU info. Check it out! Included below are some of the current neato keeno tidbits for ya! (Is it not nifty?)
• Through four games, Kansas has had four different players lead the team in scoring and steals.
• Kansas has been ranked in each of the last 222 Associated Press polls dating back to 2008-09. The 222-consecutive weeks in the AP poll is an all-time record, surpassing UCLA’s 221 from 1966-80. KU holds the same streak in the coaches’ poll at 229.
• This season, Kansas men’s basketball will be wearing a patch that reads “UNITED WE STAND” signifying its stance on the recent social injustice in the United States. The patch has gold lettering with the black background being in the shape of the state of Kansas.
• With its win against Saint Joseph’s (11/27), Kansas improved to 97-13following a loss in the Bill Self era, which started in 2003-04, including 3-0 last season in 2019-20. Incredibly, KU has been even more efficient over the last six-plus seasons, amassing a record of 46-5 after losses.
• Kansas’ last six losses have been to ranked foes, with three of those in the top five.
• Senior Marcus Garrett was named to the Wooden Award Preseason Top 50 on Dec. 1. Garrett has been named to every national player of the year watch list for 2020-21.
• Redshirt-senior Mitch Lightfoot posted three blocked shots against Washburn (12/3) and became the 21st player in KU history to record 100 career blocks, currently at 102.
• With its 89-54 win against Washburn in Allen Fieldhouse on Dec. 3, the Jayhawks have won a mind-boggling 48-straight home openers beginning in 1973-74 under head coach Ted Owens.
Hope you have a great day, and as always, be safe out there *and* be a potentially life saving hero -- MASKS ON!
A life is a terrible thing to waste. (A PSA from your friendly neighborhood retired Army Medical Service Corps Jayhawk.)

Some interesting Mavericks tidbits from their Game Notes...

Some interesting Red Raiders tidbits from the Tech TT Game Notes Game Notes...
OVERALL: Kansas leads 37-6
LAST MEETING: No. 1 Kansas won 66-62 (3/7/2020 - Lubbock)
NOTES: The Jayhawks won both meetings in the series last season after the two programs had split the previous two
years. Tech earned a 91-62 win over KU at home on Feb. 23, 2019.
HC CHRIS BEARD: Earned his 100th win at Texas Tech last Saturday against A&M-Corpus Christi
A CONVERSATION PATCH: Texas Tech will have a patch on its jersey all season that was the idea of Kyler Edwards with collaboration from his teammates. The patch depicts a rotten apple core and is described by Edwards as:
“The team wanted to make a patch that was unique and not just something that everyone else had. We want to get rid of all the bad apples in all walks of life, including police brutality, sexism and racism. These are topics around the world and we have the support of our coaches. We need to keep talking about it until it gets fixed.” The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved rules to allow student-athletes in all sports to wear patches on their uniforms for commemorative and memorial purposes, as well as to support social justice issues.

#5/5 KU (6-1, 0-0) travels to Lubbock to play #14/14 Texas Tech (6-1, 0-0). TV Game voices will be Dan Shulman (play-by-play) and Jay Bilas (analyst), KU radio voices will be Brian Hanni (play-by-play) and Greg Gurley (analyst).
The ESPN pregame prediction favors Tech 2 to 1, spotting KU just a 32.9% chance of winning in Lubbock. ESPN Pick Center write up is not yet available as I write this, but searching elsewhere on the web the spread looks to be low, [EDIT] 2 points in Tech's favor link

Supplementing the KUAD Game Notes, here are Wildeboor's pregame notes from JayhawkSlant (pay site)
• Kansas leads the all-time series with Iowa State, 184-66, dating back to 1908.
• KU has won the last two matchups, yet the series is in favor of KU, 7-5, in the last 12 meetings.
• Kansas holds a 95-16 advantage in games played in Lawrence, including a 54-10 mark in Allen Fieldhouse. Beginning in 2006, KU has won the last three and 14 of the last 15 in Allen Fieldhouse against Iowa State.
• Kansas is 98-13 following a loss in the Bill Self era, which started in 2003-04, including 2-0 this season and 3-0 in 2019-20. Incredibly, KU has been even more efficient over the last six-plus seasons, amassing a record of 47-5 after losses. This includes an 8-1 mark in 2018-19.
• Kansas has had four different leading scorers in four of its last six games with David McCormack (3), Jalen Wilson, Christian Braun and Ochai Agbaji.
• Kansas leads the Big 12 in blocked shots per game at 4.6 and ranks in the upper half of 11 conference stat categories.
• Seven of Kansas’ last eight losses have been to ranked foes, with three of those in the top five.
• Junior Ochai Agbaji leads the Big 12 in 3-point field goal percentage (42.7) and 3-point field goals made (2.7). Agbaji has made 22 threes in his last seven games.
• Junior David McCormack is averaging 20.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.5 blocked shots per game in his last three outings. He has two 20-point efforts in his last three games with 20 at TCU (1/5) and 24, with 12 rebounds, at Oklahoma State (1/12).
