These Big 12 rivals are scheduled to tip off at 4:05 PM ET (3:05 PM CT) and the OVER/UNDER between Colorado and Kansas is set at a combined total of 144 points scored.
On paper, this matchup seems like a completely one-sided affair. However, the Jayhawks know better than to underestimate a team that has given team that has given them everything they can handle in their last two meetings. But one can also expect to see a motivated Kansas team that’s looking to extend its nation-best 57th home win streak as well as tying a school record with a sixth consecutive Conference title.
“The reason we won over there in Boulder in overtime was not because we weren’t ready,” Jayhawks coach Bill Self said. “It was because we didn’t play well, and they were a big reason that we didn’t. I thought we played tired. My goal for Saturday is for us to play fresh and play with great energy.”
For the underdog Buffaloes, they were able to snap a 4-game skid by beating Oklahoma 77-67 on Wednesday night. Nevertheless, Colorado is winless (0-13) against ranked teams, which includes six loses to Kansas.
