Let it not be forgotten that Ethan Wright won the Colorado Buffaloes an NIT game. The Princeton transfer scored 18 points off the bench to lift the Buffs past the Seton Hall Pirates at the CU Events Center.
As expected, this was an ugly game to watch. The Buffs have been full of these, what with their top-25 defense and their inconsistent offense that’s missing KJ Simpson, J’Vonne Hadley and Javon Ruffin due to injury. And if you think CU is hard to watch, Shaheen Holloway’s Pirates are even more rock fighty than us, as half their roster is made up of relatively unskilled 6’7 athletes who just play hard.
