As a freshman in the 2013-14 season, Wintering was the Pilots' starting point guard for the first 27 games of the season before suffering a leg injury.[1]

Wintering returned to the starting lineup for the Pilots as a sophomore in 2014-15 and set the Pilots' single-season record for assists with 187. His 45.8% three point shooting ranked fifth best in a season in Pilots' history. For his performances over the season, Wintering was named second team all-West Coast Conference.

As a junior in 2015-16 Wintering again improved his production. He scored 18.3 points per game and led the team in points, assists and steals. His 584 points scored ranked second all-time at Portland in a single season. Wintering was named first team all-WCC at season's end.

He lived up to the billing, scoring 19.5 points and dishing out 5.6 assists per game before a mid-January knee injury sidelined him for the rest of the season. Wintering's final career game for Portland came on January 19, 2017 at San Francisco, when he tore his ACL.[2] Despite missing nearly two months to end the season, Wintering was named honorable mention all-WCC as a senior.[3]
