No they did not “kinda did”. Naismith and Will were in Springfield, MA not Lawrence for the genesis. Interesting reading, especially about Mr.Will’s role.


My point is the Kansas fans arrogant attitude act like basketball was 100% created in Lawrence, Kansas and that is not true. They act like they know everything better and perfectly compared to any other fan base, but they are not obnoxious, rather more like preacher shaming. But that’s not to take any credit away from Naismith since he did co-invent the game AND start KU’s program.

Another analogy would be for American football with Walter Camp, if Stanford U. claimed inventing football instead of Yale.

I'll stick with what I've known and read and still stick with yes, they kinda did

Huge opportunity today! There is a lot to learn from the discipline we saw Wisconsin being to the second half yesterday against KU. GBO🍊

One thing is for sure, we will be battled tested by the end of the season with the schedule we played:

Zags (preseason)
USCw (Boggie is legit)
Kansas
Arizona
Texas
Maryland
Kentucky x2
Auburn x2
Bama
Arkansas

That’s a tough schedule!

Add Michigan State preseason to that as well. We didn’t shy away from playing anyone that’s for sure.

Basketball was invented 7 years before Kansas began their program. They didn’t invent anything. And other colleges were playing before Naismith even created their program.

Good Lord. Naismeth invented basketball and started Kansas basketball. There's a link, and I can see Why their fans feel they are royality because of that link.

We will know more about this team after tonight. If we win, we might be setup for a great season. If we loose handily, it might set us up for middle of pack in SEC. We probably need this win more than Kansas. Kansas looks to be final 4 worthy again. Go Vols, lets bring it home.

If you have Fubo as your DVR service, you need to set this one manually because they have it listed as Kansas vs Tennessee State.

This should be a highly entertaining game even if Tennessee doesn’t win since they’re playing a great team.
