Game to remember
Fresman guard Josh Selby
Selby finally had a good showing in a conference game, going for a team-high 17 points on 50 percent shooting. He also had five assists against just one turnover and pulled down four rebounds. Selby is the X-factor for the rest of Kansas' season, and if he plays like he did Tuesday, the prognosis is excellent for the Jayhawks.
Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN
Freshman guard Josh Selby fires a three pointer Tuesday against Colorado. Selby was 3-6 from beyond the arc and led the Jayhawks with 17 points.
Selby
Alec Burks had 25 points. It's the most one player has scored against Kansas since Tyler Honeycutt had 33 on Dec.2.
Kansas had 21 second chance points to Colorado's 2.
Key stats

Quote of the night
"I felt like we lost a team mom. I was kind of close to her, too, because she was from the same area as my family. So that was just out of my respect, I'm going to do that for the rest of the year."
5,10 Five times Kansas had a 10-point lead, but never had a larger lead.

Game to forget
Sophomore guard Elijah Johnson
Johnson has had a chance for a couple weeks now to pick up minutes with Brady Morningstar and Josh Selby struggling. He's failed to take advantage of it and now, with Morningstar and Selby seemingly off the skid, it could be his minutes in jeopardy. His 1-for-3 night from the field won't get the job done, but his four assists and zero turnovers were good.
