Following a convincing 77-64 win over the Stanford Cardinal on Saturday, Colorado Buffaloes’ senior guard McKinley Wright IV made his opinion known walking off the court of the empty CU Events Center: “Put some respect on our name,” he said.
Colorado is now 11-3 overall and 5-2 in Pac-12 play but have yet to crack the AP Top-25. With their fourth consecutive win on Saturday, Wright’s Buffaloes further cemented themselves as one of the top teams in conference.
Despite the lopsided final score, it was anybody’s game throughout most of the first half. Both Colorado and Stanford struggled shooting the ball early and CU held a slim 9-8 lead eight minutes in.
