They might have fans in Wichita, but it's doubtful they would be in the arena at that time. The next game up is NC State-Seton Hall.

Michigan doesn't tip off until late evening.

Sure. We'll still be outnumbered by a lot. No chance a game in Wichita against KU morphs into a pro-Penn crowd.

Colin, I went to the game we won in 95 against Nebraska at Nassau Coliseum. That was like a home game for us - not many Nebraska fans, everyone else rooting for us.

But this game is in Kansas and we're playing against Kansas. If there's one team people in that state identify with it's Jayhawks basketball. They are going to grab every ticket they can get their hands on.

Well... Let's hope it's a 3 point game with 5 minutes to go so we can test each of our hypotheses...

I listened to Jay Wright on ESPN today and he said the year they played in Philadelphia they went down to a team from somewhere else (can't remember who) and everyone started cheering for the underdog in Philadelphia!


He's correct. It was against American I believe, and I was right there with them.

Hopefully sending the Jayhawks to the Point Of Know Return.

There is no place like home, Auntie Em. Driving two hours to see KU play probably is no factor at all. Expect a very pro Kansas crowd, but that will change to 65-35 Kansas support if we are in the game late.

The ticket sites online are bearing this out right now. Tickets are listed for the first session with a minimum of like $240 according to Seatgeek. The nightcap is at a minimum of $61 now.

Hey... FWIW Udoka Azubuike shoots 41.6% from the free throw line (42-101). If it's close at the end, give McManus a couple minutes on defense to hack Azubuike if he gets too close to the rim...

There will be some Wichita State folks there who will certainly turn on KU given the chance.

Here I am just waiting for a sign
Asking questions, learning all the time
It's always here, it's always there
It's just love, and miracles out of nowhere

Kansas shoots the 3 at better than 40% all year.


So you're saying (and Mike James would agree) that Kansas should regress to the mean? I like it.

But seriously, even if the big fella doesn't play, all five of the Jayhawks starters would start on our team. Our only chance to pull off the upset would be if Kansas has a similar shooting game to that of Duke's 2012 performance (6-for-26 from downtown) against Lehigh, while we shoot nearly 50% from beyond the arc and hold our own on the boards.

Some real geniuses on the KU board. I am sure they realize we are reading their board the same way they are reading ours.

What’s the story behind Graham’s terrible 2-pt. number this year? Seems like the “deny assisted baskets” part of our D needs to entice him to put up more of those at that 39% from inside the arc.
