The Colorado Buffaloes men’s basketball season kicked off at the Coors Event Center Friday night, as they defeated the Northern Colorado Bears by the score of 66-51
Colorado started the game playing well, despite senior guard-forward George King getting into early foul trouble. The Buffs led by the score of 23-13 at the end of the first quarter. Much of the strong start was thanks to freshman guard McKinley Wright IV’s aggressiveness on the floor. The Minnesota native finished the game with 10 points on 5-of-14 shooting, with four rebounds and three assists.
“George [King] told me ‘there’s no such thing as pressure when you’re prepared,’” Wright IV said after the game.
