INDIANAPOLIS — A career that began with a call from a coach McKinley Wright IV had never met came to a poignant end Monday night with a long, heartfelt hug between the two.
Wright, who rewrote the Colorado record books in his four years in Boulder, played his final game in a Buffaloes uniform in a 71-53 loss to Florida State in the NCAA Tournament second round.
CU coach Tad Boyle, whose last-minute recruitment of Wright four years ago changed the course of Colorado basketball, removed his star player from the game in the waning minutes.
