Shedeur Sanders is swapping the football field for the basketball court! The Colorado Buffs QB is taking a break after winning four games against one loss through September. Making use of their bye week in Week 6, he’s flown to Paradise to witness a stunning 95-81 victory of the Las Vegas Aces over the New York Liberty.

Among those in attendance at the WNBA’s Semifinal Game 3 was Shedeur Sanders, who not only visited Michelob Ultra Arena for a satisfying game but also caught up with unanimous WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson. Yahoo Sports posted a short clip of him and A’ja Wilson on X on October 5. If only we could hear what the Buffs QB whispered to the basketball center! Wilson was left in a splitting laughter after Shedeur’s mysterious comment and the two later posed for photos. 

Friday’s game between the Aces and Liberty marked Las Vegas’ 25th consecutive sold-out game. It’s also their 12th back-to-back postseason win at home. 2x WNBA champion A’ja Wilson was the star of the game with a 19-point, 14-rebound double-double. This is the first time that New York fell to the Aces in their six meetings this year. 

Following the encounter, Shedeur Sanders posted on his IG story a picture of the basketball court while the game was in motion. In the next post, he was seen posing with A’ja Wilson with his trademark caption, “Legendary.” But well, why not take a little break and chill with talented people before another big game against Kansas State on October 12? 

Colorado vs Kansas State prediction

Both Colorado and Kansas City are set to meet after their bye weeks, entering the upcoming game with 4-1 each. With their last 42-20 win against Oklahoma State, the Wildcats have already beaten two ranked opponents as opposed to Colorado who is facing their first ranked opponent of the season against No. 20 Kansas State. But the Buffs did come off a nice 48-21 victory against UCF. 

K-State QB Avery Johnson finished last game completing 19-of-31 passes for 259 yards and three touchdowns. Colorado’s QB Shedeur completed 28-of-35 passes for 290 yards and three touchdowns. Still, Kansas State is the favorite to win the upcoming Big 12 game according to Sportsbook Wire. Will Shedeur Sanders and the Buffs upset the Wildcats when they host them at Folsom Field for the conference showdown? After all, this could be a crucial game for their Big 12 destiny!
