Can Colorado State Rams Extend Their Winning Streak Against Utah State Aggies?

The Rams have been on a roll, with recent games highlighting their offensive prowess. In their last game against Loyola Marymount, they secured a convincing win with 76 points, showcasing an exceptional field goal percentage of 57 percent and an impressive two-point shooting accuracy of 69 percent. Their ability to convert opportunities into points was evident as they scored 36 points in the paint and capitalized on turnovers with 16 points.


Defensively, the Rams have shown tenacity as well. In their victory over CSU-Pueblo Thunderwolves, they amassed an astounding 15 steals and blocked five shots. This defensive pressure translated into a significant advantage in points off turnovers where they scored a remarkable 31 points.

However, it's not just about defense; the team's cohesion on offense has been notable too. With an assist-to-turnover ratio of over one in all recent games — peaking at an impressive ratio of approximately two against Loyola Marymount — it's clear that teamwork is central to the Rams' strategy.


While there was a slight stumble against Saint Mary’s where they fell short by three points despite shooting at an excellent free throw percentage of 87 percent, this has been more of an exception than the rule for this season’s performances.

Playing at home has its advantages; Moby Arena has witnessed strong attendance numbers that create a formidable atmosphere for visiting teams. The support from fans could provide that extra push needed for Colorado State to maintain its momentum and potentially extend its winning streak.


Fans can catch this exciting matchup live on CBS Sports Network or head down to Moby Arena on February 17th at 22:30 GMT (4:30 PM local time) to witness all the action firsthand.
