Everyone wants to point toward Bob Cousy Award Finalist McKinley Wright IV and Karl Malone Award Finalist Tyler Bey for the Colorado’s success thus far into 2019-20. But it’s not only the two star juniors that have propelled the Buffs (18-5, 7-3 Pac-12) to the No. 24 ranking in the country.
Exceptional play from unheralded athletes has elevated the level of play for the Buffaloes. It was junior wing D’Shawn Schwartz and senior guard Shane Gatling on Thursday night at the CU Events Center.
Gatling and Schwartz combined to score 24 of Colorado’s 71 points, providing a much needed secondary option for CU.
