BOULDER — When Colorado's Evan Battey looked at the box score after Saturday's 75-54 loss to Arizona, he knew he wouldn't like what he saw. The CU sophomore finished with just one rebound and no points — only the second time in his career (first this year) that he has been held scoreless and the first time this season he has had just one rebound.
But there was something even bigger missing from Battey's game, something that has become an integral part of the Buffaloes this season:
Energy and emotion. While junior point guard McKinley Wright no doubt still holds the keys to the Colorado attack, Battey's seemingly unlimited energy has become an emotional cornerstone for the Buffs.
