Colorado State Rams Set to Clash with Fresno State Bulldogs at Thomas & Mack Center
As the Colorado State Rams gear up to face the Fresno State Bulldogs at the Thomas & Mack Center, fans are eager for what promises to be a riveting encounter. The upcoming game, scheduled for March 8th, is set against a backdrop of impressive performances by CSU, particularly in their recent victory over the New Mexico Lobos on March 4th.
The Rams showcased a formidable offense in their last outing, putting up an impressive 92 points against UNM's defense. Their shooting was nothing short of spectacular; they hit 58 percent from the field and an astonishing 55 percent from beyond the arc. This level of accuracy will undoubtedly pose a significant threat to any team, including FRES.
CSU's ability to distribute the ball was also on full display with 22 assists contributing to their high-scoring game. However, it wasn't just their offense that shone; defensively they managed six blocks and kept turnovers down to just one more than their opponents – showing that they can maintain composure under pressure.
In contrast, FRES comes into this match with less momentum. The Bulldogs' performance has been less consistent compared to CSU's recent displays. For instance, while CSU dominated inside against UNM with both points in paint (36) and second-chance points (15), FRES will need to step up if they want to challenge this aspect of CSU’s game plan.
However, it would be unwise for CSU fans or players alike to underestimate FRES based solely on past performances. Basketball is unpredictable by nature and any team can rise above expectations on any given day.
Looking ahead at what could tip the scales in favor of Colorado State Rams is not only their offensive prowess but also their defensive resilience as demonstrated across previous games – like when they held off Wyoming Cowboys' attempts effectively during their February 25th matchup where they won by securing crucial rebounds and executing timely steals.
With all eyes set on Las Vegas come March 8th at 7:00 PM local time (Mountain Time Zone), fans should expect an intense battle between these two teams vying for supremacy. Those unable or unwilling to make it out can catch all the action live via MW Network online broadcast networks – ensuring no one misses out on what could potentially be another stellar performance by Colorado State Rams as they continue forging ahead this season.
