NOTES: CU and K-State will meet for the 70th time, as they were previously Big Eight/12 rivals from 1982-2011. K-State leads the all-time series 35-34. … The teams have met just once since 2011, but that matchup came less than a year ago, when the Buffs stunned the host Wildcats, 63-50, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in Manhattan, Kan., to earn a second straight trip to the Sweet 16. … The Buffs are 9-1 at home, including 3-0 in conference games. That includes a 65-60 win against then-No. 14 West Virginia on Dec. 21. … The Buffs are 45-9 at home in the past four seasons, including eight wins against AP-ranked opponents. … Since its only loss this season, at then-No. 13 Duke on Nov. 25, K-State has won 14 straight. It’s the fourth-longest active win streak in the country. … The Wildcats lead the Big 12 in scoring (83.2 points per game) and scoring defense (52.0). CU is ninth in scoring (70.4) and 10th in scoring defense (64.5). … Sundell leads the conference in assists (7.5), while Wetta is fourth (5.8). … K-State will be without star center Ayoka Lee (16.0 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 2.3 bpg), who leads the team in scoring and rebounds. She suffered a fracture in her foot in Sunday’s 81-69 win against Arizona State and is out indefinitely. Lee was the preseason Big 12 player of the year. … Mittie is 0-4 in his career against CU.
