BOULDER – The University of Colorado men's basketball team has signed Mason Faulkner, a graduate transfer from Western Carolina, to play for the Buffaloes in 2021-22 head coach Tad Boyle announced on Friday.
A 6-foot, 1-inch, 190-pound guard from Glasgow, Ky., Faulkner averaged 17.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 53 games over two seasons with Western Carolina. He shot 42 percent from the field and 77 percent from the free throw line while averaging nearly 34 minutes per game.
Faulkner adds experience and depth to a Colorado squad that features only two scholarship upperclassmen – seniors-to-be Evan Battey and Eli Parquet – and nine underclassmen at this moment for the 2021-22 campaign.
