Kansas basketball holds a late Colorado

Kansas Jayhawks was based on a familiar force in his crime Monday, while Hunter Dickinson offered a 32-year-old dominant performance to feed Jayhawks at a hard victory with 71-64 over Colorado at With Events Center.

Fighting to generate a constant crime, Kansas leaned on Dickinson, who shot 13 for 18 on the ground and offered crucial buckets. KJ Adams added 15 points, the highest production in the Big 12 game, helping Jayhawks exceed a heavy night on planks.

Kansas taught 18 offensive recovery and failed to record a single second chance, but Colorado inefficiency (38.2% of the field, 20.8% of three) kept the game at hand.

Jayhawks came to the fire, taking the first six photos, including two jumpers from Adams. Dickinson imposed his presence in advance, noting six points and three recovery before the first time interval, while KU built an advantage of 14-4.

Colorado strived to find a rhythm, but he used Ku’s turnover. Bangot Dak offered an early spark for Bivoli with rear Dunks, causing coach Kansas Bill Self to resort to an immediate time.

Ku restored control behind Dickinson, who reached 15 points in the first 15 minutes. However, Colorado remained at a striking distance due to the second chance opportunities.

After an offensive return of a missed free throw, Andrej Jakimovski drilled a three-pointer, reducing the deficit to 32-28. A late arrangement of Javon Ruffin from Cu, to the pause pocket, let Kansas cling to an advantage of 37-32.

The buffaloes deleted the deficit at the beginning of the second half, because Ku missed the first five free throws. Julian Hammond III equalized the game at 37 with a three -point transition play and later offered him with his first advantage with a challenged blow.

Both teams fought offensive in a stretch full of empty possessions, but Kansas gave over 51-46. Colorado replied with three deep from Hammond, keeping the game tight. Dak’s inner presence maintained close buffaloes, but unpleasant problems limited his impact.

With 4:45 left, Dak hit Rylan Griffen in a three-point attempt, sending him to the bench with four faults. Griffen turned all three free throws, but Hammond responded with another three-pointer to keep with dispute.

In the last minutes, Dickinson has taken over. With Kansas with 65-60 years, he scored an arrangement and an alley-oop dunk to ice. Colorado remained handy through free throws, but failed to make a goal on the field in 4:12 final.

The profit moves Kansas to 19-9 (10-7 Big 12), while preparing to host the number 10 Texas Tech on Saturday. Red Raiders come with a 69-61 home loss at number 4 Houston.
