Three for 11 shooting. Nine points. Eight turnovers. Double-digit loss. That’s how Dez Wells four-year college career came to an end.
"You’re gonna lose some battles. I think this is all in the plan of how my career is gonna play out," Wells said in a phone interview.
This plan was a unique one.
Wells spent his freshman year at Xavier University, where he averaged 9.8 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. Dez tallied a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds in the first round of the NCAA tournament, but the Musketeers’ journey ended in the Sweet 16 with a loss to Baylor.
