Colorado Buffaloes’ senior point guard McKinley Wright IV pointed to junior forward Evan Battey with a smile after notching his first assist of the game against California on Thursday afternoon. Wright IV’s assist to Battey in the opening minutes broke Jay Humphries’ previous school record of 562 assists. The senior from North Robbinsdale, Minnesota came into the contest averaging just over five dimes per game and career assist number 563 for Wright will help cement his legacy as one of the best to ever come through the program.
In a college basketball era that seems to be dominated by the one-and-done and lack of four-year players, Wright’s accomplishments at Colorado may stand unmatched for a long time.
