Colorado Form & Recent Results
Colorado heads into this matchup riding a one-game winning streak, although they currently have three losses in their last five games. They were able to steady things with an 83–69 home win over Oklahoma State on Saturday, a game in which Bangot Dak provided a big lift by scoring 17 points to help the Buffaloes pull away.
Throughout the season, Isaiah Johnson has been Colorado’s most consistent scoring option, leading the team at 16.3 points per game, while Barrington Hargress isn’t far behind at 14.2 a night. Dak has also made his presence felt on the glass, pacing the Buffaloes with 6.6 rebounds per game, and Hargress has been the team’s main playmaker as well, averaging 4.4 assists. Defensively, Colorado has been giving up 78.6 points per game over their last five games, and they’ll be looking to tighten up on that end as they try to earn their sixth Big 12 Conference win on Wednesday against Kansas State.
Kansas State Form & Recent Results
Kansas State comes into this game trying to stop the bleeding after a rough last couple of games. The Wildcats are currently on a one-game losing streak and have dropped four of their last five games overall, so confidence is something they’ll be working to rebuild. Their most recent result was a lopsided 100–72 defeat on the road against No. 13 Texas Tech in Lubbock on Saturday, a game where Kansas State struggled to slow Texas Tech’s pace and scoring. Even in that loss, P.J. Haggerty was one of the bright spots, finishing with 17 points to lead the Wildcats.

Kansas State vs. Colorado Picks and Prediction
Kansas State and Colorado have both had a tough time finding consistency in Big 12 play this season, but Colorado comes into this one with a bit of momentum. They just picked up their fifth conference win, taking care of business at home against Oklahoma State. Kansas State, on the other hand, is trying to bounce back from a brutal road game at Texas Tech. Things got out of hand quickly, and their defense simply couldn’t get stops, giving up 100 points in a lopsided loss. With Colorado starting to build some confidence and coming off a win, they should be pretty motivated in this game to keep it going and grab another Big 12 victory in a close one. Final Score Prediction, Colorado Buffaloes win but fail to cover the spread, 83-80.
