From the opening tip-off, the Rams took control of their home court. They ended the first half with an assertive lead and continued their dominance into the second half. The team's shooting was particularly effective; they achieved a field goal percentage of 51 and were successful on 38 percent of their three-point attempts. Their prowess from within the paint was evident as well, contributing 36 points to their total.


The defensive efforts by Colorado State were equally noteworthy. The team amassed an impressive total of five blocks and fifteen steals over the course of play. This aggressive defense led to numerous opportunities for fast breaks, where they capitalized with twenty points scored in transition.


On offense, Colorado State's teamwork shone through with twenty-four assists that facilitated scoring opportunities across the board. This collaborative effort was reflected in an assist-to-turnover ratio of about two-to-one—a clear indicator of efficient ball handling and distribution.


In contrast to this display of teamwork by Colorado State, CSU-Pueblo struggled to find rhythm throughout the game. They managed only six assists and turned over possession twenty times which resulted in thirty-one points off turnovers for Colorado State. Despite shooting eighty percent from free throw line, CSU-Pueblo could not keep pace with their opponents' scoring efficiency.


Rebounding also played a key role in this matchup; Colorado State outrebounded CSU-Pueblo forty to thirty which included nine offensive rebounds that led to nine second-chance points for them.


As fans look ahead after this convincing win by Colorado State Rams at Moby Arena witnessed by five thousand seven hundred thirty-nine attendees, attention turns towards future matchups on schedule.
