The Kansas Colorado series:

The Kansas Colorado series dates from 1931 and Kansas leads 124-40, including a 63-7 record in Lawrence, 54-5 in all fieldhouse. KU won a total of 20 of the last 21 meetings with CU from February 19, 2003. The two schools were members of the Big Seven Conference from 1947 to 1948 when Colorado came to the league. From 1958 to 1959, Cu and Ku were part of the Big Eight Conference, then from 1996 to 1997 the Big 12, until Colorado left the league for PAC-12 2011-12. The buffs came back to the Big 12 in 2024-25. Kansas has been 31: 1 against Colorado, 29: 1 in regular season meetings and 2-0 in the BIG 12 championship since 1996-97. The head coach of Kansas, Bill Self, is against Colorado with all 20 meetings at KU 19: 1.

FORECAST:

This is probably not the game in which Colorado brings the season back on the right track with the first street victory of the street conference. Kansas put up a defeat against Kansa’s State in Manhattan on Saturday, while the Buffaloes in Big 12 Play enter the game with a record of 0-12.

Colorado, which has a victory over Uconn this season, played some close games in Big 12 Play. The Buffaloes lost one point at the UCF, lost at home with six points against Cincinnati and lost with two points at home against Arizona State. Cu was also competitive in other games, but could not overcome the hump in the conference game.

I play in all Fieldhouse on Tuesday evening and would not expect Colorado to exceed the hump against Kansas. The Jayhawks have a frustrating loss against their greatest rival and did not play very well in Manhattan.

The lecture on the program of Bill Self has recently focused on giving the kind of effort that must be successful at this level at a consistent level. With an important six-game set that begins this evening, I expect the Jayhawks to take care of the Buffaloes business later tonight.

It may be in the game early, but I expect Kansas to play his muscles and take control of the game. Colorado could win a game in the conference game at some point, but I don’t expect this victory to take place this evening in Allen Fieldhouse.
