Rams Charge at Aztecs in Viejas Arena Showdown

As the Colorado State Rams prepare to face off against the San Diego State Aztecs at Viejas Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their impressive performance on enemy ground. The Rams have been showcasing a strong offense, with a recent victory over Loyola Marymount where they scored 76 points and demonstrated exceptional shooting accuracy with a field goal percentage of 57 and an impressive two-point shooting percentage of 69.

The Rams' ability to convert opportunities into points was evident as they capitalized on turnovers, scoring 16 points off them. Their assist-to-turnover ratio stood at an efficient 2.63, indicating smart ball movement and decision-making. Moreover, their defense wasn't slack either; they managed to block three shots and steal the ball three times from Loyola Marymount.


In another game against CSU-Pueblo Thunderwolves, the Rams dominated with an even more convincing win scoring 86 points. Their defensive prowess was on full display as they racked up five blocks and an outstanding number of steals at fifteen. Offensively, they were relentless in fast breaks adding twenty points and maintaining a solid field goal percentage of 51.


However, it's not all smooth sailing for the Rams; in a closer encounter with Saint Mary's Gaels, despite putting up a good fight defensively with six steals and three blocks, their shooting percentages dipped to field goals at 37 percent and three-pointers at just 28 percent which ultimately led to a narrow loss by three points.


With these trends in mind, fans can anticipate that Colorado State will bring both offensive firepower and defensive tenacity against San Diego State Aztecs. The key for the Rams will be maintaining their high shooting percentages while continuing to exploit turnovers for easy baskets.


The upcoming clash is scheduled for February 14th at Viejas Arena in San Diego California; tip-off is set for February 13th local time (February 14th UTC). Fans can catch all the action live on CBS Sports Network channel number two hundred twenty-one.
