The Colorado State Rams showcased their scoring efficiency right from the start, ending the first half with a slight edge over the Wright State Raiders, 45-42. The second half saw an even more dominant performance by the home team as they put up an additional 60 points compared to their opponents' 35. This scoring surge was fueled by an exceptional two-point shooting performance where they hit an astounding 81 percent of their attempts.


The Rams also excelled beyond the arc, making 12 three-pointers at a solid rate of 41 percent. Their free throw accuracy was equally impressive with just under 82 percent of shots made from the line. In terms of ball distribution and teamwork, Colorado State provided a clinic with a total of 37 assists on their way to victory.


Defensively, they were active on all fronts; seven steals and two blocks kept Wright State's offense in check throughout much of the game. Moreover, they capitalized on turnovers by scoring an impressive total of 28 points off them while only giving up nine turnovers themselves – showcasing efficient ball handling and control.


On top of that, fast break opportunities were seized upon by Colorado State as they scored a remarkable total of 28 fast break points. They also dominated inside with a commanding presence that led to them scoring nearly half their points (46) in paint.


The visiting Raiders had some notable performances despite falling short on scoreboard. They shot well from both field goal range (50 percent) and three-point distance (40 percent). However, it wasn't enough to keep pace with Colorado's relentless attack.


Wright State did manage to block four shots and came away with five steals but struggled in rebounding against Colorado's tenacious effort which resulted in collecting only six offensive rebounds compared to twenty-six defensive boards for home side.


As fans look forward to future games for both teams after this high-scoring affair at Moby Arena witnessed by over four thousand attendees; attention turns towards next challenge facing The Rams who will be playing away against Northern Colorado Bears at Bank Of Colorado Arena At Butler-Hancock Athletic Center located in Greeley CO scheduled for November fourteenth seven PM Mountain Time which can be watched live on ESPN+.
