Although Manning returned to Allen Fieldhouse plenty of times after he was done coaching at KU while his son, Evan, played for the Jayhawks, Tuesday night will be the first time Manning, a Colorado assistant, will return as part of the opposition. He and the Buffs will try to end a 12-game losing streak against the 17th-ranked Jayhawks.

The former Kansas basketball guard made his return once again, this time accompanied by Jayhawks legend Danny Manning.

Now an assistant coach at Colorado, Danny Manning tells The Star the Buffs’ impending appearance in Lawrence “brings back a flood of memories.”

Danny Manning spent 15 seasons in the NBA. And after returning to his alma mater at Kansas to begin his coaching career, he has made stops at Tulsa, Wake Forest, Maryland and Louisville.
