As fans rushed the Coors Events Center floor Thursday night in the immediate aftermath of Colorado's overtime victory against No. 4 Arizona State, there probably were more than a few young fans watching the scene who daydreamed about being part of it.

The star from Denver East, who signed with CU in November, is focused on leading the Angels through a deep run in the Class 5A state tournament. However, as a frequent visitor to CU, Kountz already is envisioning his part in the Buffs' program.
