Yeah. We said the same thing before the game in Lawrence last year, and then AFH had it's best atmosphere in
years. It was chaos, the students I still work with there said it even surpassed our home games with
Kentucky. KU students camped out a week before our game last year, fraternities hyped up the matchup with the zoomers and flooded social media so much that you'd think Quantrill was leading you guys out on the court. And by the looks of things, the same thing happened on your campus. You can't look at the energy on your campus and say it's just another game anymore.
And if Bill is still struggling with his rotations tomorrow and your well coached, scrappy boys who have had incredible ball movement are able to slice through a defense still finding it's footing, this could be a close one. If it's within a possession by the end of your second half, your court is going to be rocking -- and more importantly, your students are going to make sure this is a game they book on their calendar every time we come to town.
For reference, KU had very similar tweets in the week leading up to the game and that's when the alums started thinking that our assessment that the rivalry was dead might be totally incorrect.
