Colorado's George King went from red shirt to red hot

DES MOINES, Iowa — George King had just hit the biggest shot of basketball life, and somehow his teammate was still finding a way to tease him about it.

"Why were you so lackadaisical after you hit that shot?" Colorado forward Wesley Gordon asked King, playing reporter in a news conference on Feb. 11 after King's 3-pointer at the buzzer in overtime helped CU extend a must-have game against Washington State it would eventually win.

"Was I really?" King said. "Everyone keeps saying that. I'll have to look at it."

Sure enough, King wore a stone-cold expression when he buried arguably the biggest shot of the Buffs' season.
