Clash of the State Schools: Colorado State Rams Set to Battle Fresno State Bulldogs at Save Mart Center
As the Colorado State Rams gear up for their next encounter against the Fresno State Bulldogs, fans are eagerly anticipating what could be a defining moment in their season. The upcoming game, scheduled at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, is not just another match on the calendar; it's a chance for CSU to solidify their dominance and showcase their prowess on an opponent's court.
The Rams' recent performances have been nothing short of impressive. On December 23rd against Loyola Marymount, CSU emerged victorious with a score of 76-67. Their offensive efficiency was on full display as they shot an outstanding 57 percent from the field and an impressive 69 percent from two-point range. Additionally, they managed to convert points off turnovers into 16 crucial points while maintaining a solid assists turnover ratio of 2.63.
Another notable performance came during their home game against CSU-Pueblo on December 17th where they dominated with an emphatic win scoring 86 points to Pueblo's mere 54. The Rams' defense was relentless, racking up five blocks and fifteen steals which translated into a staggering thirty-one points off turnovers.
However, not all games have been smooth sailing for CSU; they faced a tough challenge from Saint Mary's Gaels earlier in December where they narrowly lost by three points in a closely contested battle that ended with a scoreline of 61-64 in favor of Saint Mary's. Despite shooting well below their average at only thirty-seven percent from the field that night, it was evident that even when faced with adversity, this team has grit—a quality that will serve them well as they head into enemy territory.
Fresno State Bulldogs will not make things easy for CSU; they're known for being tenacious defenders and can cause significant problems if underestimated. However, given CSU’s recent form and high-scoring capabilities demonstrated by consistently hitting above fifty percent field goal shooting across past games—there is every reason to believe that Colorado State has what it takes to come out on top once again.
Fans should mark their calendars for February 3rd at Save Mart Center where tip-off is set for February fourth at seven PM Pacific Time (10 PM Eastern Time). This clash between state rivals promises to be thrilling and can be caught live nationally on CBS Sports Network channel two hundred twenty-one.
