Harvard is up next this Thursday at 6 PM CT on ESPN2.
It promises to be a cohhhhhhhhld winter's night at tipoff, with a currently projected temp of -7F (wind chill -45F!!!) welcoming stalwart fans to The Phog. I would not blame anyone who opts to stay home instead of using their tickets under such circumstances, and I will praise those that brave the elements to support the Crimson & Blue!
Regardless of turnout, the game should be a KANSAS win. Stuff happens, but this Thursday I would not bet against the JAYHAWKS in The Phog. No matter how cold it is outside, the 'Hawks are capable of turning up the afterburners to make it hot for the opposition.
After Harvard it's all conference games until the final noncon game on the schedule -- at Kentucky in the BIG XII/SEC CHALLENGE on ESPN on Sat Jan 28 7:00 PM CT.
That game is still over a month and 9 games away, but as of today I really like our chances,
even with the game being in "#2 KU Graduate HOF Coach" Arena.
Our guys are really trending well according to CorpusJayhawk's DPPI data and asteroid's trend and mental toughness stats. I have no idea at present how UK looks in comparison, but it clearly is not as well as KU.
Again, it's a month and 9 games away, and much can change, but KU sure seems to be getting it's act together.
And frankly, Kentucky is not as dangerous as in past seasons. OscarTshiebwe is excellent, but he is not Anthony "Unibrow" Davis. There is no John Wall or Rajon Rondo on this team. They have beaten all the notably lesser teams on their schedule so far this year, but are 1-3 against "name" programs, one of those three being the loss at Gonzaga, the only true road game to date.
KENTUCKY WILDCATS (7-3) to date
On a most interesting note, according to a poster on Rupp Rafters UK is 4-13 in their last 17 games versus ranked teams!
And UK fans are not happy.
SOoo much so their radio guys are tweeting about it.

Squid being served up hot soon?
Hmmm...
Any way, enough looking way down the road, our guys have more immediate opponents with which to deal.
The "Fight Fiercely, Harvard!" Crimson against the "Rock Chalk! Jayhawk!" Crimson & Blue.
LET'S GO JAYHAWKS!
