It's getting late, so I'm going to keep this short.

Only Dunkel picked Kansas to beat Houston; Dunkel was wrong.  Let's hope that trend
continues, because only Dunkel is picking Arizona to win.  Everybody else favors
Kansas by anywhere from 1 point (Massey, Seven Overtimes, INCCStats) to 10 points
(Real Time, thanks to the enormous home court advantage Real Time uses).  The
average is 2.4 points in favor of Kansas with a scatter of 2.5 points.

It's Senior Day.  Can we preserve this 41-year-old streak, pretty please?

Rock Chalk!

Common Opponents

There are fifteen common opponents, all 14 other conference members plus Duke, four
of which Kansas has played twice (UCF, Colorado, Kansas State, Houston), five of
which Arizona has played twice (West Virginia, Baylor, Texas Tech, Arizona State, BYU,
though one of those West Virginia games was a non-conference neutral court tournament
game), and one of which both have played twice (Iowa State), giving us twenty five
scores to compare:

I have lived in Wildcat land for over 30 years and in the last 20 years they have developed the worst fan base so we need to beat them soundly.We have some sport commentators from the local station in KC for the ladies tourney and then the mens. They spend half their time bitching about how the Big XII tourney should be in Vegas and how It's so cold and rainy in KC.They will spend their time and energy trying to move the tourney to Vegas even though there are like 4 teams in the proximity. This is who they are. They chant vile chants at opposing teams to the point where the AD has to apologize. They throw things on the court, they disrupt play (think K State in the 70's)

So let's welcome them to Lawrence with a big ole fashioned ass whooping.

Someone needs to remind our guys that we do not lose on Senior Day....period. Maybe some of the alum players could stop by and reiterate that to some of our players that transferred in, (I'm talking YOU, Hunter Dickinson). No excuses today, let's keep one of our streaks/records intact

It'll feel better when it stops hurting
