Kansas advanced to 7-1 on the year tonight after fending off former Big 8 foe Colorado. The key to the first half was defense as neither team shot well, but the Buffaloes were kept especially well in-check. CU's leading scorer, Tyler Bey, didn't take a shot until the final two minutes of the half, and it took until the 1:06 mark for them to hit 20 points as a team. Unfortunately, an 0-6 performance from outside somewhat limited the Jayhawks' offense, who nonetheless took a healthy 34-22 lead into the locker room.
The defense stayed salty in the second half, while the offense, and outside shooting especially, picked up.
