Buffaloes facing most critical juncture of season

There was pin-dropping silence in the CU events center when McKinley Wright went down against the Washington Huskies with what appeared to be a serious injury. Most would’ve thrown the white towel in on the game thinking Colorado had no shot — after all, Wright is their biggest leader both on and off the court, and the already struggling offense would miss its most important player.

Instead, young bucks D’Shawn Schwartz and Daylen Kountz filled in admirably and the Buffs were able to put up a fight and stay within arms length of one of the conference’s best.
