BOULDER — When word began to filter out last week that Colorado point guard McKinley Wright IV would return to CU for his senior season, the common theme was "unfinished business."
That description clearly fit the bill. A junior year that ended with the Buffs enduring a five-game losing streak, then missing out on an NCAA Tournament appearance because of the Covid-19 pandemic no doubt left a sour taste in Wright's mouth.
Thus, while Wright did indeed make inquiries into a possible jump to the NBA and foregoing his senior year with the Buffaloes, it was by no means a major surprise when he chose to return to Boulder and finish his college eligibility.
