Well, it’s a good day for being in Ames,
And it’s a good day for playing the game,
Could be a great day if the ‘Clones go down in flames!
You know the Jayhawks want to have a good day!
It’s another KANSAS JAYHAWKS Men’s Basketball...
... Buh duh DUH duh DUH DUH duh duh duh duh DUH DUH DUH ... BALL DAY!!
Saturday at 12:00 noon CT on ABC our AP#9 KANSAS JAYHAWKS (19-5|9-2) strive to extend their eight game winning streak to NINE as they face the AP#5 Iowa State Cyclones (21-3|8-3) for the second time this season, this time on their court in Hilton Coliseum.
The Jayhawks are 144-55 against ISU, with the Jayhawks winning the last two games (both in Lawrence) and 7 of the last 10.
.
Larry Brown went 0-5 in Ames (yep, even with Danny for 4 years, Larry never beat Johnny Orr in Ames).
Roy was 8-7.
Bill is 14-8 in Ames.
He’s lost the last two games played there.
Last time he won there was 2022.
Time for another upset of the Cyclones by Bill's Boys!
Peterson is playing per Pete Thamel and JayhawkSlant’s Shay Wildeboor. (h/t to konza63 for the news!)
Yes, I'm saying KU has a chance!
ESPN's Matchup Predictor has KANSAS winning just 26.8% of the time (link). The spread is 7.5 points in ISU’s favor.
asteroid had not posted his predictions for this game at post time. However, his Big XII Projection Round 12 projects a 69-75 LOSS for KANSAS. As he himself wrote, “...there are no road wins projected for Round 13. But let's get one in Ames anyway.”
ROCK CHALK, asteroid!
Here is the link to CorpusJayhawk’s Rock Chalk Challenge newsletter projection with the predictions for this game (and again soooo much more). The DPPI is projecting just a 29% chance of a KU win, with ISU winning by almost 8 points.
But Corpus himself says KU 71-70!
Lift the chorus ever onward, Corpus!
May our favorite KU Men's hoops prognosticators (and all of us!) have their wishes fulfilled!
As always, there are links to make you think...
