Colorado guard Alec Burks has played his last game in a Buffalo uniform. The 6-foot-6 sophomore stated his intention to be a pro and will sign with an agent.

Burks averaged 20.6 points and 6.5 rebounds and has been mentioned as a first round possibility in the NBA draft. Colorado will now lose both Burks and Cory Higgins, who was a senior, so there will be plenty of opportunities for players like Andre Roberson to step up.
