Maybe it's the elevation? Whatever, the Jayhawks are excused if wishing to skip trips to the Mountain Time Zone after getting whipped at Utah and BYU last week. All part of a very unimpressive recent KU narrative that notes a subpar 4-5 SU mark in the last nine games as Bill Self's bunch now finds itself outside of the national rankings.

CU has won its last two at Boulder against UCF and Baylor, and note five straight covers for the Buffs. Play Colorado
