The Colorado Buffaloes had their best week of the season, defeating Pac-12 co-leaders USC and UCLA behind the magnificent play of McKinley Wright IV. It is no surprise, then, that the senior guard has named the Pac-12 Player of the Week.
Wright excelled as both a playmaker and a scorer last week, depending on what CU needed in each game. Against the Trojans, he had a career-high 14 assists (one shy of the single-game CU record) as well as 14 points, 4 rebounds and 3 steals. Against the Bruins, he led the offense with his scoring, totaling a season-high 26 points (the most any Buff has scored all year) in addition to 6 assists and 5 rebounds.
