BOULDER — In the waning minutes of Colorado’s in-state rivalry victory a week ago, Evan Battey drove hard to the bucket to put home a tough “and-one” layup that gave the Buffs the lead for good.
Then, the freshman forward let loose his emotions.
“He does this one thing where one of his eyes closes and he (gets an angry face) and starts Hulk-slamming around, beating his arms against his chest,” explained sophomore D’Shawn Schwartz. “We started calling him Ralph, like the buffalo … And he did that after the and-one against Colorado State.”
The opportunity to make an impact for Colorado is undeniably sweet for the big man.
