Colorado is averaging 39 pts the last 7 games, so I sure hope the Jayhawk defense is up for the challenge.

Stop Flagg=Beat Duke. Flagg took 1/3 of the team's shots against AZ and scored 24 of the team's 69. Listed at 6'9", Coach Self needs his best defender(s) on Flagg like Karen on a skateboarder. Like Terry's chocolate on a cherry. But in my experience, Coach doesn't focus on an opponent's top scorer and plays the same defense seeming to reason "hey, if one guy beats us, he beats us." I sure hope Flory is available; I assume KJ and Flory are the most likely defenders on Flagg. Yikes, my anxiety just shot through my eyeballs. Senior Dickinson v. Fr 7'2" Maluach 9 pts., 18 min will be another matchup to watch.

Here we go playing their FT game.
I sure think the refs are helping them out; calling every touch on us
Go Dejuan
McGriff is averaging 13 pts a game this year on a team averaging 108, so he's playing well tonight. Already has 14 at half. He only averaged 3.8 pts a game last year in 17 min.
Refs are really letting the other guards push off our guys
What, UNCW is averaging 108 pts and 45 rbs per game. Look out now. But, also gave up upper 80's pts a game to Mt Olive, GA Southern and SC Upstate. This is going to be a super high scoring contest.
6-Purdue at 15-Marquette at 8 on FS1 is worth checking in on during our breaks tonight. Marquette favored by 5.5 is a surprise to me.
I love games like this because we can watch the returning players and the new guys start to establish familiarity on the court. Hunter's outlet passes to Zeke and Diggy. Juan's lobs to Flory. Etc. So much fun.
o sacks on Allen; Mahomes running for his life every snap
Buffalo 38 off plays, 217 yds; Chiefs 26 off plays, 130 yds. New Chiefs' kicker making extra pts though. Kelse no catches.
For a minute it looked like KU's Grimes was calling the plays when KC was on the 2 yd line.
Mahomes 10th INT puts KC 7 behind. Terrible start for KC
Whew, no OT
Ravens just scored. 2 pts away from likely OT
The Ravens/Steelers game could go into OT and we will miss part of our game.. Sure hope not
When is the last time anyone remembers the QB quick kicking? And who could have predicted it would hit the DB and be recovered by the good guys. BYU must be wondering what happened.
I try to ignore the referees' role in games because they are a necessary evil. But, for those Chiefs' fans who do pay attention to referees, good news I guess: Land Clark's crew is assigned to this game and since the Bills are the #2 penalized team f0r presnap fouls, some report this is an advantage to the Chiefs. Land Clark's crew calls the most presnap penalties, like illegal formation and false start. The report claims the Chiefs are the least penalized team on presnap fouls; this despite Jawann Taylor's history of FS penalties. So, if these tendencies stay true, we should see some presnap penalties called on the Bills, thus giving the Chiefs' defense a much needed advantage.
Full credit for this win goes to KU's defense. Only giving up one TD for the game and a FG in the second half. Great job D. But, credit to BYU for holding our running game to 73 yds on 33 carries. What's up with Hishaw? Injured, doghouse? 2 yds on 3 carries. Oh my, now KU takes on the media hype machine that is Colorado football, which is playing very well at this point. 2:30 Sat on FOX. I sure wish this game was being played at Memorial Stadium.
Wow, nice start Jayhawks

My son lives in Salt Lake City, said snow fell today for the first time, so this may be a cold or even snowy one?
Yeah, 38 degrees in Provo right now. Brrrrr
Hunter may not get his double double, needs a basket and a rb
Zeke's pts have gone down since he's been starting. But, the bench is getting more PT
Wow, how many teams covet our second 5: Flory, Diggy, Rakease, AJ and Shak.
Hunter showing some quickness on a couple of dunks tonight
So, Coach playing 10 guys. And all contribute. Nice
I sure like Hunter's outlet passes. Terrific
Unlike MichSt, Hunt with 0 pts so far
If KJ has an injured ankle, shouldn't he take the next two game off? Or is it the type of ankle injury that playing won't further injure?
I forgot to mention, but I'm sure others noted that all those empty seats around the court filled with Kentucky fans toward the end of our game. Kentucky fans do show up to support their team.
There seems to be some excitement that Juju S-S is returning to the lineup. Before the injured hamstring, he appeared in 6 games with 18 tgts, 9 rec for 147yds. One TD and one catch went for 50 yds. I sure hope he turns into a Bills-killer Sunday. Man, I want the Chiefs to beat Allen and the Bills. KU basketball, then KU football, then Chiefs football. What a great weekend. Enjoy!
I really like these big games. Beating Josh Allen and the Bills in Buffalo is just about as satisfying as a SB win. I figure the Chiefs are due for a good game and will be up for the Bills. But, good lord the offensive line needs to protect Mahomes better. There are plays where the defenders run into the backfield unhindered and untouched by the O line. Unlike the experts, I'm looking forward to some Josh Allen misfires, followed by INTs. I really want to see some deep passes by Mahomes if he's ever given time to throw. 10-0 and a near certain lock on the #1 seed will be very sweet.
Usually, I can tolerate Jay Bilus during games, but not during the Champions Classic where it becomes a Duke propoganda/love fest. I'm sure glad Duke lost. I didn't stay up for the second half and won't take the time to watch a replay. How did Jay take the loss after declaring during our game that Duke had the most talent of any team in the country?
I wonder if the nearly complete absence of fans sucks the energy out of the players.
I sure don't like the NBA style of giving the best courtside seats to about 20 fans. That leaves the end of the player benches watching from far away from the court. Talk about insult to injury: watching your team from 20 feet from the court.

Sounds like KU is favored by 11+ points today. Double digits is a lot over a well-coached team. Go Hawks!
ESPN shows the line as KU 5.5

So, who will start in Diggy's spot against MichSt? Why isn't Zeke starting? Zeke is getting his minutes, 29 against NC, but he needs to start. Starting Griffen or Storr is a tossup for me; both will contribute and get minutes. And, KJ can't play 37 minutes.
You think Diggy won’t start?
Diggy had such a bad game against NC, it seems like other players playing so much better should start. Diggy played 20 min, went 0/4, but had 4 rbs and 3 asissts. I know coach likes consistency so Diggy probably starts-one bad game shouldn't bench a player. But, Zeke has been flat out bringing the scoring and I think deserves to start.

I've seen enough, the Broncos will win this game
Chiefsballin10 mode today
But what about Mahomes Majic?
Please no more runs into the line on first down. And how about better blocking for Mahomes. Jeez he's running for his life every snap
3rd and long every series for the Chiefs. Got to get more yds on 1st and 2nd downs.
Signing Kareem Hunt to a one year, 1.2 million dollar contract looks like a brilliant move. Hunt is averaging about 4 yds/carry over his 5 games and has 5 TDs and 0 lost fumbles. Hunt is running with purpose. KC should be 9-0 after the game. Denver's 5 wins are all against sub-500 teams: Bucs, Jets, Raiders, Saints & Panthers, combined W/L 13-35. I'm hoping for my weekend hat trick: KU basketball, KU football and KC Chiefs all winners.
Wow Ole Miss thumping #3 Georgia. And #4 Miami lost.
I sure like beating Matt Campbell. IDK, there's just something about him on the sidelines.
Why not let some of the other backs carry the rock?
Well if all that's left is spoilers, I'll gladly take it
@stoptheflop Looks like half full? 2/3rds?
Thanks, I assumed lots of ISt fans would be there.
I haven't seen a shot of the crowd. How does it look?
Wow, nice game going today. But, it reminds me what could have been, should have been. Bittersweet
