So, which is worse, losing by 19 at home to what was the #85 team, or losing
by 11 on the road to what was the #26 team?  Yeah, it's got to be the former,
right?  Except that Iowa State didn't piss away a 21 point lead.  We have two
wounded animals playing one another, and only one of them will feel better
after Big Monday's game.  Fortuantely, Houston also lost, so the Jayhawks
didn't lose any ground in terms of wins and losses, but now Kansas has one
fewer game in which to cut into that lead.  Making up three games in the
next ten (actual standings) is a gargantuan task; making up four games as
implied by the projected standings is about as improbable as beating UCF
by 51 points.

Iowa State is on a two-game losing streak.  The Cyclones have not played
more than two consecutive games below expectation all season long.  But
Kansas has not played more than three consecutive games below expectation
all season long.  One of them will extend their futility.

48 hours isn't a lot of time to get a lot healthier, so KJ may still be
on limited minutes because of his shoulder, and Dajuan might not be at
full speed because of his ankle, and Shak might still be feeling some
pain in his foot.  That mnight be forcing Self to use a line-up that
hasn't had much time to gel.

The prognosticators generally favor Kansas.  Two of the fifteen I track
do not.  The DPPI is the most pessimistic, expecting Kansas to lose by
0.6 of a point.  Whitlock's ratings imply a 0.24 point loss.  The rest
favor Kansas by anywhere from 2.0 points to 7.0 points (Dunkel).  The
average is 2.86 points in favor of Kansas with a scatter of 1.80 points.

Some streaks have been falling by the wayside this season, such as the
streak of wins in conference openers, but it might be worth noting
that Kansas is 48-1 at home in Big Monday contests, including 37-0
under Self.

Rock Chalk!
