McKinley Wright nears triple-double, CU Buffs advance to Pac-12 quarterfinals

The Field House.

McKinley Wright took the inbounds pass and dribbled alone atop the key with Colorado on the verge of an upset.

This was the starting Buffs’ freshman point guard’s first Pac-12 Tournament game, and it came against an Arizona State team with arguably the league’s best backcourt. With 2:22 left Wright pulled up from deep to launch a high-arching shot. When it cashed, Wright frowned like he smelled something nasty. Call it the dagger.

This McKinley Wright 3 bumps his scoring total to 16. Buffs shooting over 60 percent from deep.
