Moby Arena Showdown: Colorado State Rams vs UNLV Runnin' Rebels
As the Colorado State Rams prepare to welcome the UNLV Runnin' Rebels to Moby Arena, fans can anticipate an intense matchup. The Rams have shown a strong performance in their recent games, demonstrating a trend that could influence their upcoming game.
In their last outing against Loyola Marymount, the Rams secured a victory with 76 points, showcasing an impressive shooting accuracy from two-point range at 69 percent and overall field goal percentage of 57 percent. Their ability to convert opportunities into points was evident with 36 points in the paint and capitalizing on turnovers by scoring 16 points. The team also displayed a solid defense with three blocks and steals each.
The previous home game for the Rams at Moby Arena saw them overpower CSU-Pueblo with an emphatic scoreline of 86-54. Their dominance was reflected in several statistical categories including a remarkable steal count of 15 and fast break points tallying up to 20. They maintained commendable shooting efficiency from both two-point (61 percent) and three-point range (39 percent), which contributed significantly to their win.
However, it's worth noting that in another recent home game against Saint Mary's, despite being ranked higher at the time, the Rams fell short by three points ending with a score of 61-64. This loss highlighted areas for improvement such as field goal percentage which stood at only 37 percent and three-point completion rate at just under 28 percent.
Moby Arena has been a fortress for Colorado State historically; its high altitude location often poses challenges for visiting teams not accustomed to playing in such conditions. With this environmental advantage and current momentum from recent victories, fans can expect the Rams to leverage these factors in their favor.
The upcoming clash is scheduled for January 20th at Moby Arena in Fort Collins, CO. Fans eager to catch every dribble and dunk can tune into Fox Sports 1 channel number 219 where live coverage will begin promptly at local time (Mountain Time Zone).
