Just tuned in myself, but based on the score this looks like the Chiefs of a couple of years ago. Offense scoring enough to cover for a less-than-optimal defense.

JCL has his season high, while Enaruna gets 23 for ISU. Fair swap.

OMG. Let's hear it louder.
Front coming..supposed to be single digit wind chills tomorrow.
It's 73 now.It was about 80 here in NC today. My allergies were very angry
We've just gotten above freezing here for the first time this week after 10 inches of snow. Not used to this.
Och & CB finally showing up down the stretch
Didn't expect JCL fouling out to be a factor in the game, but there it is.
Nice close to the half. Good to see bench production....nearly half the points and rebouuds.
Mitch taking over !
Happy New Year everyone.
Looking forward to today's game against...um...let's see...(YOUR NAME HERE).
UCF men take down Michigan by 14, A nice resume win for our future conference-mate.
Once again, everybody's schedule is on an Etch-A-Sketch.

This is going to be interesting. Don't know much about the Wolfpack, but this game doesn't look like an automatic "W"...at least compared to Harvard.
Their KenPom rating is #77, compared to 171 for the Crimson. That's better than every other team KU has played this season except Michigan State.
Nevada still isn't a good team.
Hard to say. I saw a little of their 20-point win over Washington on a neutral court. Not that UW is any good this year, but I figure Nevada will give us a better run than Harvard.

What about Vandy ? Their game in Honolulu yesterday with Stanford was called off due to COVID in the Cardinal program, and the Commodores' next game isn't until Jan. 4.
Otherwise KU may have to settle for a game against a D-II school, making it little more than a scrimmage.
Ladies and gentlemen, once again your AFC West Champion, Kansas City Chiefs !
Aside from that last drive, it's been another stellar performance by the Chiefs defense.
Clyde will not be denied !
Weird weather...it's downright balmy at Arrowhead, and they're playing in the snow in Seattle.
Taking a break from shoveling to watch the game. 5 inches at my place so far.
Chargers just lost, so a Chiefs win clinches the AFC West.
Just wanted to send out a Get Well Soon to all of you who have to deal with the virus and other issues. I've been lucky so far, but know that these days even the most cautious of us can have something hit unexpectedly.
As we prepare here for a rare Christmas snowfall tonight I decided to stay home today, but I've been able to enjoy the holiday with the help of my family and friends, online and off.
Sending out a great big Northwest "thanks" to all of you. Merry Christmas, and a better New Year !
Yup. Chiefs now control their own destiny.
Correction. COVID controls their destiny, (and seemingly everyone else's these days).
Travis Kelce, Harrison Butker and Charvarius Ward all tested positive today, along with 44 other NFL players. Most in a single day.
The good news is that at least Kelce (who was vaccinated) may be back in time for the Pittsburgh game next Sunday.
KU gets hit with another transfer. And not where you'd expect it.

"The Transfer Portal...it's not just for revenue sports anymore"
Christmas came early for the Chiefs. Titans, Ravens and Broncos all lose too.
Bizarre weekend...The Lions beat the Cardinals, and Brady gets shut out at home.
Braun with more points than the Mizzou game, but he seemed to have less of an impact tonight. Still a good effort.
Kudos to the crowd. Sounded like good energy in the building despite the holiday break.
On to Boulder...Buffs playing well lately with 2 of their 3 losses to ranked teams. 'Til Tuesday....
THANK YOU REMY
Knock 'em down
BTW, Doc Naismith's grandson is in attendance tonight. He and Brian Hanni of the Jayhawk Network did a pre-game autograph signing to promote Hanni's new children's book about the invention of basketball on this day in 1891.
Happy 130th anniversary !
OK start and finish to half. In between, not a whole lot.
Got to come out of the locker room strong, especially on the boards. Can't let a team like SFA hang with us. They don't need another win against a big name team on their resume.
BMac and Isaiah Thomas were the two guys I was really hoping would get a shot. Watched Isiah in person a couple of times when he played for the UW Huskies a while back. Glad to see the Lakers pick him up, if only for a 10-day. He ended up as their leading scorer last night...19 points in his LA debut.
Coincidentally, both were playing at the same time, which kept my remote busy.
And BMac goes nuts for the Blazers ! 28 points, 8 of 13 from three in a win over Charlotte. Oubre had 18 for the Hornets.
So I just got back from spending the evening doing Christmas stuff with a non-sports fan. What'd I miss ?
Forget about Curry...Devonte Graham is "ruining the game of basketball."
Now every 12 year old kid will want to chuck it from 60-plus feet !
(Tongue firmly in cheek.)
@Crimsonorblue22 Well, 61 feet anyway. WOW !

Speaking of non-shots, congratulations to Andrew Wiggins for giving Steph the assist on his record-breaking three.
No matter what happens the rest of his career, he'll forever be the answer to an NBA trivia question.
Also good to see Ray Allen hug Curry when he broke the record. Loved watching him shoot the rock for the Sonics back in the day.

@KirkIsMyHinrich tear it up!
He was putting a beating on that kit. Nice.
And a day later, Mr. Carey nearly put a beating on somebody at KCI.

Stay off our logo!
When the Raiders did that I knew this would be a good day for the Chiefs.
Good news, bad news.
Chiefs blow out Raiders.
It's such a blowout that my local station just switched to a "more competitive game."
Aahhh, shoot. Was hoping for a shutout.
Embiid leads all scorers in the Sixers win over Golden State. 26 points, 9 boards and 11 of 11 from the line.
Wiggins with 20 points for the Warriors, outscoring Steph who only had 18. Second straight off night from 3 for Curry, just 3 of 14.
More Jayhawks tonight on ABC. Warriors at Sixers.
Balanced attack with all starters in double figures. Strong D too.
DeJuan impressive after Braun set the tone in the first half.
Now a well-earned week off until Stephen F. Austin next Saturday. Hope we don't lose our edge.
BORDER BEATDOWN
Oh damn, we only won by 37. lol
TEAHAN FOR THE HUNDO !!!
99
There's one for the Not Top 10
Yes for 3 !
Jayhawk Radio Network says that 24 former KU players are in the stands today.
I'm sure Bill wants the bench to run as much clock as possible, so I'd guess we fall short of 100.
Hope I'm wrong.
So do we get 100 or no ?
@benshawks08 said in Border War Game Thread:
So there’s 40
In my younger days I'd drink a 40 to celebrate !
(Now it's quality over quantity.)
