Their offensive prowess was evident as they shot 49 percent from the field and an exceptional 83 percent from the free-throw line. The team's defensive efforts were equally commendable, with five blocks and seven steals contributing to their commanding victory.

An away game against Fresno State Bulldogs saw the Rams emerge victorious with a scoreline of 73-61. Consistency in shooting was key for Colorado State; they maintained over fifty percent accuracy both from within and beyond the arc while capitalizing on every opportunity at free throws.


The upcoming game presents another opportunity for Colorado State to extend its winning momentum. Playing away might pose its challenges; however, given their recent form—especially in terms of shooting efficiency—their confidence should be high as they step into enemy territory.
