SAN FRANCISCO — Rare is the occasion a player that has yet to play a minute of college basketball is asked to represent his team in a setting with as many bright lights and television cameras as the Pac-12 Conference media day.
Yet when that player is Colorado's Evan Battey, you let the man have his fun.
So there was Battey, alongside teammate McKinley Wright, getting in a round of Guitar Hero and a few shots on a makeshift putting green on Thursday at the league headquarters while adding his two cents on a Buffaloes team that was picked to finish seventh in the preseason Pac-12 media poll.
