Hearing: KU to Honor Self 👏
🏟️ Oakland @ Kansas, 5pm CT Saturday
📺 ESPN+
📊 Torvik projects KU as a 26-point favorite.
I’m Hearing Kansas will celebrate Bill Self becoming the program's all-time wins leader vs. Oakland on Saturday.
While the specifics aren’t entirely clear (and I think Self has tried to keep the celebrations to a minimum), I’ve Heard indications that KU will do something special to honor the Hall-of-Fame coach for win number 591.
There will be a few different celebrations on Saturday — likely including a speech or two (I’d expect a few words from Self). KU will also have video content and other surprises to mark the record.
I expect a real celebration at Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday…
… as long as KU players guard somebody, too. 😏

What the Betting Market Says about KU-BYU
🏟️ Kansas @ No. 6 BYU
📺 9:15pm CT on ESPN
Opening Line: Kansas as a 3.5 point underdog.
Current Line: Kansas as a 2.5 point underdog (10:49am CT, Friday)
Betting Splits: 25% of bets on Kansas, 35% of money on Kansas on DraftKings (via VSiN)
To be clear: The following is just my interpretation of the betting market and a unique way to look at a game. It is in no way betting advice or suggestions.
💰 Analysis: Pro Money on KU… Again!
Death, Taxes, and KU getting pro money against a ranked team.
It appears 75% of people have bet against Kansas... yet the line keeps moving in the Jayhawks’ direction.
This normally indicates there’s some “pro” or “sharp money” on the Jayhawks to cover the spread and keep this one close.
KU has covered the spread in its last 3 games by a large margin.
It appears the betting market things the Jayhawks cover once again.
