What started out as a close game with Hugo finding success in the paint, quickly became lopsided as the Buffs started to focus on perimeter shooting and fought to contain Kansas’ offense. The Buffaloes allowed 19 points in the first quarter and only scored five in the second, going down 13 at one point in the game.
