It hasn’t panned out as planned. Not for Trevor Baskin, and certainly not for the entire Colorado men’s basketball team.

With more than 150 college games to his credit, Baskin is facing the end of the line for his prolonged Colorado-based basketball career.

After the Buffaloes try to play the spoiler role in the final road game of the season on Wednesday at No. 9 Texas Tech, CU will honor its departing seniors on Saturday against TCU in the regular season finale.

Baskin will be honored alongside four-year Buffs Julian Hammond III and Javon Ruffin; fellow graduate transfer Andrej Jakimovski; and walk-on Jack Pease.

An overlooked star out of Pomona High School in Arvada, a humble start to Baskin’s Division II career at Colorado Mesa evolved into an impressive four-year run, culminating with Player of the Year honors in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference last year.

Baskin showed flashes early this season for the Buffs but ultimately struggled to adjust. Yet he hasn’t let reduced playing time of late diminish his appreciation of the move to the Big 12 level.

“It’s been an eye-opening experience,” Baskin said. “It has not gone the way I would’ve liked or the team would’ve liked. But there’s experiences here that I’ll remember the rest of my life. I’ll always be extremely grateful to CU and this year I’ve had to develop as a player and be able to play basketball at the highest level, in terms of what college basketball can offer. I really appreciate everything that’s been offered through here, and I’m excited for the last (games) and making a run at the Big 12 (tournament).”

Baskin enjoyed huge games in two matchups against Arizona State, shooting .640 while averaging 21 points and seven rebounds.

In his other 16 Big 12 Conference games, Baskin has shot .431 while averaging 4.4 points and 3.1 rebounds.

Baskin recorded four steals in each game against ASU.

He has 21 steals in the other 27 games.

Baskin’s role has been reduced of late — his only four single-digit minute totals have occurred over the past six games — but assuming he plays against the Red Raiders, it will mark the 154th game of his career.

Regardless of how it has panned out, reaching the end of the line always is bittersweet.

“It’s different. It’s with a different team, but I’m sure it will hit me all at once, once the season ends,” Baskin said. “I’ve been trying to soak up every single possible moment that I can with these guys and just appreciate everything, because I know I’ll be looking back when I’m an old man and I’ll remember these times fondly. I think that’s the best part of college basketball is being able to hang out with some of your best friends and brothers every day.”

CU fell to 0-9 in true road games with Sunday’s defeat at Kansas State, and the Buffs have lost 21 consecutive games against ranked foes in road games.

While Houston already has clinched the Big 12’s regular season championship, the Red Raiders are in the thick of the race for the No. 2 seed at next week’s conference tournament.

The Buffs already have secured the last-place slot at No. 16 and will play the No. 9 finisher on Tuesday in Kansas City at 1 p.m.

“We haven’t played them yet this year, but I know they’re really talented and one of the better teams in our league,” CU head coach Tad Boyle said. “It’s going to be a real challenge.”
