Described by a teammate as Colorado’s “number one offensive weapon,” junior wing Tyler Bey didn’t get to show off many of his skills Saturday night at Allen Fieldhouse. With the Jayhawks’ Swiss army knife, Marcus Garrett, defending Bey and an ever-improving Kansas defense ready to take CU’s leading scorer and his teammates out of their comfort zones, No. 2 KU often unsettled No. 20 Colorado in a ...
Get Bill Self talking about his Kansas basketball team’s 3-point defense and his train of thought will eventually bring him to the arc on the opposite end of the floor. Self obviously wants his Jayhawks to play smarter perimeter defense, so future opponents don’t torch them the way Dayton did (16-for-33 from deep) at the Maui Invitational.
