... Buh duh DUH duh DUH DUH duh duh duh duh DUH DUH DUH ... BALL NIGHT!
Tuesday at 8:00 PM CT on FoxSports1, our KANSAS JAYHAWKS (21-8|11-5) travel to Tempe to take on the injury riddled Arizona State Sun Devils (15-14|6-10) and their hot seat head coach Bobby Hurley, whose teams won their first two games against KU but lost last year’s first game against KU in Big 12 competition. The all-time series is tied 6-6. KANSAS won ASU’s first official Big 12 game last year in Allen, but lost the two previous matchups before that (the Hurley games) in no small part thanks to Remy Martin before he became a Jayhawk and we all forgave him his earlier transgressions. In the last 7 games without Remy sparkplugging ASU, KANSAS is 6-1 against Sun Devils.
Some other stats of interest…
This season KANSAS is 9-0 in Big 12 night games, 5-0 AFH, 4-0 road.
Kansas is 139-24 (85.3%) following a loss in the Bill Self era (2003-04 to present), including 7-0 this season.
On top of that, with ASU having seven (7) players listed as OUT and another as QUESTIONABLE, I have to really like KU’s chances of picking up its 5th conference road win of the season.
ESPN's Matchup Predictor says KANSAS wins 78.3% of the time (link). The spread is 5.5 points in favor of KU.
asteroid’s game projections are not yet available as of post time. His Big 12 projections, Round 17 projects a 79-73 KU road win.
