It’s another day time road game and
you know that’s where you’ve fallen.
Yes, you beat these guys before, true, but
this time you’re not in Allen.
All the models say you’ll go down,
that the odds are all against you.
but don’t let that get you down
when you take the court to play you go
Rock! Chalk!
Do it again!
Take down those Wildcats, Jayhawks!
Rock! Chalk!
Do it again!
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 3:00 PM CT
The Jayhawks are 11-4 all time against UA. Of course KU won big withOUT Peterson on Big Monday, but they lost last time in McKale – but that was not THIS squad WITH Peterson!
Can rhe JAYHAWKS overcome their Big 12 road show day game sorrows to win in Tucson?
ESPN's Matchup Predictor gave KANSAS just a 41.8% chance to win in THE PHOG when the spread was a mere 2.5 points in UA’s favor, and the Jayhawks prevailed despite the last minute scratch of DP. For the return game in McKale, the odds are even worse - I don't even want to look, but you go ahead (link) - and the spread is 9 points in UA’s favor.
asteroid had not posted his predictions for this game at post time. However, his Big XII Projection Round 16 projects a 71-81 loss for KANSAS.
Here is the link to CorpusJayhawk’s Rock Chalk Challenge newsletter projection with the predictions for the Arizona game (and again soooo much more). The DPPI is projecting this game to be a rough one for KU with only a 23.9% chance of a KU win, and a margin of 8.8 points in UA's favor. Even the stalwart RCC Commissioner is predicting UA wins this one, 70-76.
Here's to our young men defying the odds, the models and the daytime road game gremlins to steal one from the Wildcats!
Here's the links to help you think (thinking totally optional, but we think we know your preferences in this area).
