Colorado heads to Lawrence for what is the first game of a home-and-home non-conference matchup. Interestingly, even though Jeff Long scheduled this series, for some reason Kansas doesn’t have to play two games in Boulder and two games in Denver to get two games in Lawrence.
Weird.
Anwyay, Kansas is the #2 team in the country in the AP Poll, while Colorado comes in at #20. KenPom currently has KU at #6 and Colorado at #33. The Buffaloes were picked to finish second in their conference (behind Oregon) in the PAC-12 preseason media poll, tying the Ducks with 9 first-place votes.
