The brain trust of the Colorado men's basketball team figured the Buffaloes would see a healthy dose of Arizona State guards Remy Martin and Luguentz Dort going into Saturday's Pac-12 battle in Tempe.

That's why Eli Parquet got the call.

With head coach Tad Boyle ready to juggle his lineup in the midst of his team's recent tailspin, Parquet's number was called upon to make his first career start against the Sun Devils, with the belief the 6-foot-3 freshman could match up against Dort while starting point guard McKinley Wright checked Martin.
