Late Night
-
All I know about Late Night comes from this article: https://kuathletics.com/news/2025/10/17/mens-basketball-kansas-tips-off-basketball-season-with-41st-annual-late-night-in-the-phog
Anyone else who knows anything about how it went, how we looked feel free to share. Curiosity is gnawing at me.

@Jhawk69 I had a friend that went, he said the team looks athletic but has a lot to work on. Sadly he said it was only half full at best.
-
Was hoping to hear how DP looked tonight. Anybody got a video?
Too bad about the crowd. Is it usually full on Late Night?
Last time i went was Late Night with Larry Brown! Ha, i’m old. Had some great T-shirts from those days…
-
Late Night hasn’t been full in years. Having it on a football bye week also hurt attendance.
-
The scrimmage is always weak, Self is never happy!
-
Saw a few pics and a silly dancing video. What’s with the dancing? Do the students like to see the players dance?
Haven’t found scrimmage video yet.

I went to late night as a freshman and then never again. It’s silly (Harlem globetrotters silly) and I rather like the serious basketball. I’d be curious to see the scrimmage, but it’s hard to take much from it given the effort level.

Scrimmages are usually pretty ragged - —just a bunch of free lancing/running up and down the court jackin up wild shots.
I quit going , was fun the first 4-5 years lot of attention on recruiting use to be a big tool from it.
Remembering the first couple ESPN was there or showed pieces because at the time it WAS a big deal, if I remember right Dickie V was there once not every Joe Blow School was doing this in the beginning and it started at.-- It’s really just Blah now and reserving seats having them of limits for some is Bull Shit, now it’s like for donors use to be first come- -first serve same way for BIG DADDY WARBUCKS as it was for you average hump your ass- sweat your butt off for forty hours to make ins meat FADDY come late oh well no sseat-- then no seat, just another example of trying to squeeze the every day Joe out. Hl half of the Arena is all reserved for Donors or what have you, screw that . these so called donors half of them sit during the game like that are an old couple watchin a tennis match. We score, go on a run they clap very politely a couple of times and then back to eating their crumpets.
I would much , much rather be surrounded by a bunch of wild , crazy , looney fans then that—let the opposition their in a hostile enviroment , was a time we would go and might as well forget it because you couldn’t hear your buddy sitting right next to you.
Peopl here have mentioned wondering what has happened to our chant after we win in the waning moments of the game, used to be loud- --NOW- -you can hardly hear it and thats id if gets done at all. We are losing our edge, teams are not intimidated about playing here nearly as much We need to get rowdy/wild again let these fools know- -you in the Phog boys let them know they have no chance
