The 3-0 Buffs take on New Mexico, 1-2, on Saturday at Bob King Court.
Attendees of today’s women’s game were promised tickets to the men’s basketball team’s Dec. 7 Kansas game, leading to a large student attendance. Students were to pick up their tickets on the court after the women’s game, but they became unruly, causing lengthy delays in receiving tickets. Kansas is currently ranked No. 2 in the nation.
