Colorado’s Kindyll Wetta has known for a while that this would be her last year playing competitive basketball and she certainly sees the end of the line.

“I feel good,” she said after Saturday’s 63-53 upset of No. 10 Kansas State. “I’m ready to be done.”

Although looking forward to the finish, Wetta, a senior point guard, is trying to make the most of her final season as one of the key players for a Buffs’ squad aiming for a fourth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance.

“Obviously, yes, I do want to make the most of it,” she said. “But I know that the inevitable is coming and really just enjoying the time with my teammates, because I know that that’s what I’ll miss.

“This is a great group of girls. I couldn’t ask for a better group to be playing with for my last year but I’m ready to move on and pursue my career goals.”

This has been a different type of season for Wetta, who for three years was a super-sub, backing up star point guard Jaylyn Sherrod.

Now, Sherrod is in the WNBA and Wetta has a starting role. She also has 10 new teammates after most of the core group that led CU to back-to-back Sweet 16s has graduated. And, there’s been an adjustment with CU’s move from the Pac-12 to the Big 12.

Before the season, Wetta was excited for all the changes and she has continued to enjoy the new aspects of the program and her role.

“Yeah, it’s been fun,” she said. “It definitely has its challenges, as college sports does, but my teammates make it fun. … On a daily basis, we hold each other together no matter what. It’s a hard thing to do but, like I said, I couldn’t imagine a better group of girls to play with my last year.”

Even as Wetta looks ahead, she said it hasn’t impacted her play.

“I feel like I’m a very consistent player,” she said. “I go out there and I do what I do every single game, and I don’t let external factors get to me.”

In fact, Wetta’s minutes (24.5 per game), scoring (5.5 points per game) and rebounding (3.6 per game) are all around her career numbers (24.3 minutes, 5.3 points, 3.1 rebounds). She has increased her assists, however, from 3.3 per game in her first three years to 5.7 this year.

Along the way, there’s been some challenges, including adjusting to a new style of play and officiating in the Big 12. Wetta, who fouled out twice in her first three years combined, has fouled out three times this year, including twice in Big 12 play.

Against Kansas State, officials weren’t as whistle happy and Wetta had one of her best all-around games. She posted eight points, four assists, four rebounds and zero fouls — her first no-foul game in Big 12 play — while playing her usual good defense.

“It was really nice, because when you’re calling ticky-tack stuff, like a lot of the past games, that’s not basketball,” she said. “That’s not how it is. So I think when you let us actually play and be aggressive, we’re an aggressive team and this is the result that happens.”

Wetta and the Buffs are hoping there are more games like that coming up, starting with Wednesday night at BYU. Although BYU is 1-7 in the conference, CU is 0-4 in conference road games.

“It’s pretty big,” Wetta said. “If we want to have a good (spot in the) post season then we have to start getting some road wins. We all know that and that’s obviously a goal for us.”

If the Buffs can pick up some road wins and keep winning at home, they’ll set themselves up for a potential NCAA Tournament run.

For Wetta, though, the memories will be made not in the results, but with her teammates.

“The things I value the most are the relationships that are built in this and the fun times with your teammates,” she said. “Those are what I remember. Obviously, there’s games that will be important, but really, it’s just those relationships for me.”
