Wesley Gordon and Josh Scott provide homegrown help for Buffaloes

BOULDER — Wesley Gordon uses any opportunity he can to remind Colorado men's basketball teammate Josh Scott that the state title his Lewis-Palmer High School team captured in 2012 deserves an asterisk.

"I tell him his state championship is a fluke," said a laughing Gordon, a 6-foot-9 redshirt junior whose Sierra team lost the Class 4A championship game that year to Scott and Lewis-Palmer 44-43. "It should have been a lane violation."

Gordon was referring to a free throw Scott shot with 1:38 left and Lewis-Palmer trailing 41-39. Scott's shot bounced off the front of the rim, but he grabbed the rebound and tied the score with his putback.
