High, low of Wright

By KANSAN

Tuesday, April 10, 2007

As Julian Wright’s career ends at Kansas, The Kansan examines the best and worst moments of his two seasons as a Jayhawk.

HIGHLIGHTS

vs. Texas, March 12, 2006

In the Big 12 Tournament championship game, Wright had two highlight-reel dunks against Texas. Wright threw home a one-handed dunk on a fast-break and also completed a windmill dunk in the game’s final seconds.

vs. Florida, November 25, 2006

Against the top-ranked Gators, Wright scored a game-high 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Wright scored 17 of his 21 points in the first half.

vs. Missouri, Feb. 10

Wright scored a career-high 33 points against Missouri in Columbia on Feb. 10. Along with his career-best, he also pulled down 12 rebounds and two blocks.

LOWLIGHTS

vs. Oral Roberts, November 15, 2006

In No. 3 Kansas’ embarrassing home loss, Wright had one of his worst games of the season. He had just six points, on 3-for-10 shooting, and committed six turnovers.

vs. Colorado, January 27, 2007

Wright attempted a windmill dunk at Allen Fieldhouse against Colorado, but missed — badly. As he went up for the dunk, the ball deflected off his knee. Wright lay on the court for several minutes before being benched for the rest of the first half.

vs. UCLA, March 24

In the Elite Eight, Wright struggled against UCLA’s defense, scoring just eight points. It turned out to be his final game at Kansas.
