Rams Set to Lock Horns with Broncos in Moby Arena Showdown

As the Colorado State Rams prepare to host the Boise State Broncos at Moby Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a riveting encounter. The Rams have been on a formidable run, showcasing their prowess on both ends of the court. With a recent victory over Loyola Marymount where they scored 76 points and demonstrated exceptional shooting accuracy from inside the arc at 69 percent, they've proven their offensive mettle.

The defensive side hasn't been left wanting either; against CSU-Pueblo, the Rams were relentless, racking up an impressive 15 steals and blocking five shots. This defensive solidity coupled with scoring 86 points in that game sends a clear message: CSU is not just about offense.


However, it would be remiss to overlook their slight stumble against Saint Mary's where they fell short by three points despite an outstanding free-throw percentage of 87. This loss was a reminder that even giants can falter and that every aspect of the game needs to be honed to perfection.

The upcoming clash with BSU is more than just another game – it's an opportunity for redemption and reaffirmation of dominance for CSU. The Broncos are no pushovers themselves; coming into Moby Arena will fuel them with determination to upset the home team.


For CSU fans expecting another dominant performance like against LMU or CSUP might need to temper expectations slightly. While confidence runs high within Ram Nation, basketball remains unpredictable and BSU could capitalize on any complacency from their hosts.

Looking ahead at this matchup, one can't help but feel that while both teams will bring their A-game, it's likely going to be those clutch moments – perhaps a critical steal or block – that could swing momentum decisively in favor of one team.


The stage is set for February 6th at Moby Arena in Fort Collins where tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 PM local time (9:00 PM ET). Fans unable or unwilling to brave what promises to be an electric atmosphere can catch all the action live on MW Network via internet broadcast. Will you join as CSU looks to cement its status as conference heavyweights? Or will you witness BSU potentially playing spoiler? One thing is certain: this game should not be missed by any fan of collegiate basketball excellence.
