BOULDER — Colorado coach Tad Boyle knows what his Buffaloes are about to encounter Saturday night when they make their foray into Kansas' storied Allen Fieldhouse for a matchup with No. 2 Kansas.
His players don't. While the Buffs annually play in some raucous arenas — Arizona, Oregon and Utah come to mind — they haven't encountered anything like Allen Fieldhouse, a historic old barn that seats 16,300 and seldom has an empty seat.
"That crowd is unlike anything our players have seen," Boyle said Wednesday night, after his 20th-ranked Buffs had beaten Loyola Marymount, 76-64, to improve to 7-0. "(But) we are not going to be afraid. We respect everybody and fear nobody."
Fear and respect aside, the Buffs have historically struggled on the Jayhawks' home floor. Even though Colorado once played at KU on an annual basis when the Buffs were members of the Big Eight and Big 12, successful trips were a rarity.
In fact, Colorado has lost 29 in a row at Allen Fieldhouse, a streak that stretches back 36 years. The last time CU scratched out a win in Lawrence came on Feb. 10, 1983, when the Buffs took a 75-74 win.
Starting at guard that evening for the Jayhawks was Tad Boyle.
"I don't remember it," Boyle said with a laugh Thursday morning. "I can't remember what I had for breakfast."
...
But Boyle will have precious little time to reminisce Saturday when the Buffs tip it off in their 5 p.m. matchup (ESPN2). While Kansas (6-1) has historically been good at Allen Fieldhouse, they have been nearly unbeatable in the building under current head coach Bill Self, now in his 17th season there. Under his direction, the Jayhawks are a mind-boggling 253-13 on their home floor, meaning they have accumulated more conference titles (14) in his tenure than they have home losses.
Boyle just began the process of scouting the Jayhawks after Wednesday night's win. By Thursday morning, he had a good idea of what the Buffs will be facing.
"The biggest thing we have to do in order to have a chance in that building is you have to control the tempo of the game," Boyle said. "If you let them control the tempo of the game, you're in the danger zone. We have to control the tempo. That doesn't mean we don't run, it doesn't mean we don't attack, it's just we decide when we do it, when we don't."
...
LAST GAME: Boyle has made one trip to KU with his team since taking over at Colorado, a 90-54 loss in 2012. But a year later, the Buffs collected a win in Boulder when Askia Booker hit a long 3-pointer at the buzzer for a 75-72 CU victory in the last meeting between the programs.
