Draining a season-high 26 points, senior guard McKinley Wright IV created one more memory in his penultimate home game at the University of Colorado. His senior night onslaught was too much for UCLA to handle on Saturday as the Buffs knocked off the first place team in the Pac-12, 70-61.
While Saturday was a reminder of the finitude of a career, the Buffs performance hinted that there will be plenty more basketball left for CU’s seven seniors. With the win, Colorado improved to 19-7 overall and 13-6 in the Pac-12 to extend its highest Pac-12 win total and tie the 1961-62 Big Eight Conference championship team for the most conference wins.
