Colorado Buffaloes Set to Outmaneuver Kansas State Wildcats in Manhattan

As the Colorado Buffaloes prepare to face off against the Kansas State Wildcats at Bramlage Coliseum, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying encounter. The Buffaloes, coming off a dominant performance on March 22nd against Drake Bulldogs with an impressive 86-72 victory, are looking to carry that momentum into their upcoming game.

The Buffaloes' recent form has been nothing short of remarkable. Their offensive prowess was on full display as they shot a scorching 55 percent from the field and an even more impressive 41 percent from beyond the arc. With such shooting efficiency, it's clear that Colorado's offense is firing on all cylinders. Moreover, their ability to control the paint was evident as they racked up a whopping 54 points in that area alone.


Defensively, COLO has shown they can hold their own as well. They managed to limit Drake Bulldogs' fast break opportunities to just six points while racking up seven steals themselves. This defensive tenacity will be crucial when going up against KSU's offense.


On the other hand, Kansas State cannot be underestimated. Despite being set as hosts for this matchup, they'll have their work cut out for them if they want to contain Colorado's multifaceted attack. The Wildcats will need more than home-court advantage; strategic adjustments and tight defense will be key components if they hope to challenge COLO.


Looking back at COLO’s performance during a tough double-overtime game against Oregon State Beavers on March 7th – despite falling short with a score of 79-85 – it showcased their resilience and ability not only to force overtime but also push through into double overtime before succumbing by just six points.


The upcoming clash between these two teams is poised for high stakes and intense competition. With both sides bringing unique strengths onto the court, it’s going down as one of those games where every possession counts and could swing momentum either way.


Fans eager not to miss any of this action should mark their calendars for March 24th at noon Central Time when these two teams lock horns at Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan, KS. The game will also be broadcasted live on ESPN for those who prefer watching from home or elsewhere.
