... and to escape the cold heart of Texas the Red Raiders of Texas Tech travel north to Lawrence, where our Jayhawks are planning to scorch them in Allen Field House when the conference foes engage again on a Big 12 Saturday...
... Buh duh DUH duh DUH DUH duh duh duh duh DUH DUH DUH ... BALL DAY!!
#23/24 Kansas (16-7, 10-5) versus #15/11 Texas Tech (14-6, 6-5). who hope to pay back our Crimson & Blue clad lads for the L the Jayhawks hung on them TWO MONTHS AGO(!) in Lubbock.
Man, do I hope our guys come out on fire in this game! Our recent first half shenanigans won't stand against a quality Tech squad.
(I also hope that asteroid gets enough sleep Friday night. This came is not real early, but it's still way too early Hawai'i time -- 9 AM in the Islands at game time -- when he's trying to get his post online for us to read beforehand.)
TV Game voices will be Bob Wischusen (play-by-play) and Dick (Groan) Vitale (he's an analyst, I tell ya, the guy has got game and he knows how to talk it, if only he would stay in the game he's working and not wander away to far off realms that have nothing to do with the game at hand!), KU radio voices will be Brian Hanni (play-by-play) and Greg Gurley (analyst).

Now THIS is an interesting pickle! The ESPN pregame prediction just barely favors Tech to win 50.1% of the time -- *in* The Phog! -- compared to 49.9% for KANSAS... but the spread favors KU by 2!
In other words, it looks like a TOSS UP!

... Buh duh DUH duh DUH DUH duh duh duh duh DUH DUH DUH ... BALL DAY!!
#23/24 Kansas (16-7, 10-5) versus #15/11 Texas Tech (14-6, 6-5). who hope to pay back our Crimson & Blue clad lads for the L the Jayhawks hung on them TWO MONTHS AGO(!) in Lubbock.
Man, do I hope our guys come out on fire in this game! Our recent first half shenanigans won't stand against a quality Tech squad.
(I also hope that asteroid gets enough sleep Friday night. This came is not real early, but it's still way too early Hawai'i time -- 9 AM in the Islands at game time -- when he's trying to get his post online for us to read beforehand.)
TV Game voices will be Bob Wischusen (play-by-play) and Dick (Groan) Vitale (he's an analyst, I tell ya, the guy has got game and he knows how to talk it, if only he would stay in the game he's working and not wander away to far off realms that have nothing to do with the game at hand!), KU radio voices will be Brian Hanni (play-by-play) and Greg Gurley (analyst). For those watching live and wanting to hear the radio instead of the TV talking heads, check out kuathletics.leanplayer.com/ . Pause your TV for about 15 seconds for a "real time" narration of the game, (Thanks, Bayhawk!) Note that you can also use leanplayer to listen to "Hawk Talk with Bill Self".

Now THIS is an interesting pickle! The ESPN pregame prediction just barely favors Tech to win 50.1% of the time -- *in* The Phog! -- compared to 49.9% for KANSAS... but the spread favors KU by 2!
In other words, it looks like a TOSS UP!
Here's to KANSAS earning the SWEEP!

#13/14 Kansas (18-8, 12-6, 12-1 Home) hosts University of Texas - El Paso (12-10, 8-8, 2-8 Away) as our Jayhawks, in preparation for what we hope will be a highly successful postseason, look to close out the final home game of the AY2020-21 season with a win for the 38th year in a row.
Of note is that these two programs have met just four times in the past, the first being in the 1966 NCAA Tournament when then Texas Western beat the JoJo White led Jayhawks in the Midwest Regional Finals and went on to win it all. KANSAS won the last meeting on Nov. 30, 2013 in the third-place game of the Battle 4 Atlantis 67-63 to finally get a win in the series, now standing at 3-1 UTEP. This will be the first meeting between the two schools in Lawrence. The Miners, one of the best ball handling teams in Division 1 (only 10.9 turnovers per game), have won their last 4 games by an average of almost 16 points, holding their opponents under 60 points per game during the streak.

OF NOTE -- in it's 23 previous iterations since the first Big 12 Tournament in 1997, EVERY tournament winner has been an old Big 8 university. KU has won 11 titles, ISU has won 5, OU has won 3, OKSt has won 2, and Meth U won 2 while it was in the conference. Here's hoping that old Big 8 school record continues with this year's tournament with an OKSt v KU final!
Believe it or not, the ESPN pregame matchup predictor favors KANSAS to win 60.9% of the time, compared to 39.1% for tu. Clearly it is not allowing for the absence of Big Dave (IMO).The spread consensus pick favors tu by 1 (59%).

... and once again NCAA Tournament time finds our Beloved Birds* flying high with hope, today preparing for aerial competition against the Eagles of Eastern Washington on another KANSAS JAYHAWK...
... Buh duh DUH duh DUH DUH duh duh duh duh DUH DUH DUH ... BALL DAY!!
FLY HIGH, KANSAS!!!
(*Yeah, I just made our JAYHAWKS Killer Bs!)
3 seed Kansas (20-8 ) versus 14 seed Eastern Washington (16-7) of the Big Sky conference. The Eagles finished tied for second in the Big Sky and won the conference tourney to make the field of 68.

TV Game voices will be Brad Nessler (play-by-play) and Steve Lavin (analyst) (y’all remember him?). KU radio voices will be Brian Hanni (play-by-play) and Greg Gurley (analyst). For those watching live and wanting to hear the radio instead of the TV talking heads, check out kuathletics.leanplayer.com/ . Pause your TV for about 15 seconds for a "real time" narration of the game, (Thanks, Bayhawk!) Note that you can also use leanplayer to listen to "Hawk Talk with Bill Self".
Don't forget to check out the JAYHAWK GAME DAY LIVE pregame show on ESPN+ at 11:45 AM CT, and the postgame show at 2:15 PM!
The ESPN pregame prediction just barely favors KANSAS to win 87.5% of the time compared to 12.5% for EW... but the odds and the upsets are the stuff of tournament legend, so let’s have none of that for this game, Jayhawks! The spread favors KANSAS by 10.5 points.
JUST WIN, JAYHAWKS!
