Things were humming along beautifully.
With a little more than eight minutes remaining against Oregon State, Colorado point guard McKinley Wright IV drove down the lane for a layup that gave the Buffaloes a 10-point lead.
Moments later, 6-foot-7 Tyler Bey made a highlight-reel blocked shot on a dunk attempt by OSU 7-footer Kylor Kelley, leading to foul shots for Wright at the other end. Wright made 1 of 2 with 7 minutes, 57 seconds remaining, giving the Buffs an 11-point lead. On the heels of a win against fourth-ranked Oregon, the CU Events Center was rocking.
