Tad Boyle, Colorado: A four-year player at the University of Kansas from 1981-1985, Boyle will be coaching against the Jayhawks for the seventh time (1-6 record) in his career. He has been at the helm in Boulder for 16 seasons and has amassed a 324-210 record. During his playing career at Kansas, Boyle averaged 2.4 points and 2.4 assists, playing two years each under head coaches Ted Owens and Larry Brown.
Bill Self, Kansas: Self will not be on the sidelines tonight due to his hospitalization on Monday. He is expected to make a full recovery and reportedly was admitted to receive IV fluids, but he did not travel with the team to Boulder.
