The Little Apple Classic came to a close with the Colorado Buffaloes men’s basketball team taking on the Kansas State Wildcats Friday evening in Manhattan, Kansas. Following a successful outing Wednesday night against South Dakota, the Buffaloes improved to 2-0 on the year. Colorado faced the Wildcats for the first time since the former conference foes met in the quarterfinals of the 2011 Big 12 Championship and came away victorious on Friday, 76-58.
CU was without senior forward D’Shawn Schwartz for Wednesday’s game against South Dakota due to possible COVID-19 exposure. The Colorado Springs native didn’t play in Friday’s matchup either, after testing positive for the virus.
