Coleman Hawkins, Kansas State's 6-10 senior transfer from Illinois, injured his knee and limped off after playing 24 minutes at Utah on Feb. 17. The Wildcats lost that game by five, fell by 12 at home to Arizona State and then by four at UCF. Hawkins is a vital player who averages 10.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 33.3 minutes. Hawkins is unlikely to return Sunday. Yes, K-State is at home and desperate to snap its four-game skid. But Colorado is improving. The Buffaloes enter on a 5-1 ATS run, the miss coming by a half-point. They've beaten Baylor and UCF in two of their last four outings. Colorado might not get its first road win but it can keep this close.
