Rams Charge at Aztecs in a Clash of Titans at Viejas Arena
As the Colorado State Rams prepare to face off against the San Diego State Aztecs, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying encounter on Valentine's Day. The Rams, coming off a series of impressive performances, are poised to take on their rivals in a game that could very well be a defining moment in their season.
In their last outing on December 23rd against Loyola Marymount Lions, CSU showcased an offensive masterclass, scoring 76 points with an outstanding field goal percentage of 57 and converting two-point attempts at a remarkable rate of 69 percent. Their ability to score from inside the paint was evident as they racked up 36 points in this area alone. Moreover, the team's synergy was on full display with an impressive tally of 21 assists.
Defensively, CSU has been just as formidable. Against CSU-Pueblo Thunderwolves on December 17th, they managed to force an astounding number of turnovers (20) and capitalized by scoring 31 points off these opportunities. Their defensive prowess is not limited to stealing the ball; they also recorded five blocks and held their opponents to just 54 points.
However, it would be remiss not to acknowledge that even titans can have chinks in their armor. This was apparent when CSU faced Saint Mary's Gaels earlier in December where despite fighting valiantly, they fell short by three points. That game served as a reminder that turnovers and shooting efficiency from beyond the arc could make or break crucial games for CSU.
The upcoming battle will require every ounce of skill and determination from the Rams if they wish to overcome SDSU's home-court advantage at Viejas Arena. The Aztecs are known for their tenacious defense and will undoubtedly challenge every shot attempt made by CSU players.
Fans should expect nothing less than maximum effort from both sides as each team vies for supremacy. With both teams boasting strong defensive records coupled with potent offenses when clicking into gear – this matchup has all the makings of a classic showdown.
Supporters eager to witness this spectacle can tune into CBS Sports Network channel 221 nationally or make their way down to San Diego if fortunate enough – tip-off is scheduled for February 14th at 9:00 PM ET (6:00 PM PT). The stage is set; let’s see if love will be in the air for Rams fans come Valentine’s night!
