BOULDER, Colo. -- Maybe this was only fitting: Two players named Wright got Colorado's season started on the right foot.
Namon Wright scored 25 points and McKinley Wright IV added 17, helping the Buffaloes pull away in the second half to beat Drake 100-71 on Tuesday night in their season opener.
Coming off the bench, Namon Wright -- a senior guard -- hit 8 of 12 shots to establish a new high while at Colorado. His overall career-best is 28 set on Feb. 24, 2015, while playing for Missouri. At more than 29 minutes, he saw more court time than any other Colorado player.
