Boulder, Colorado — Here's a look back at some of the most notable numbers and statistics from the Jayhawks' first road win since late January, a 71-64 win at Colorado on Monday night.
The win snapped KU's 4-game road losing streak, was the team's second consecutive win for the first time since winning back-to-back games on Jan. 18 & 22, and marked the second time this season that the Jayhawks scored exactly 71 points against Colorado – 71-59 at Allen Fieldhouse and 71-64 on Monday night at CU Events Center.
After the win, KU coach Bill Self said he thought the CU team the Jayhawks faced on Monday night was better than the CU team they saw in Lawrence two weeks ago. And he added, "I actually thought we were a better team tonight, too."
