The game unfolded with high intensity from both sides. The Colorado State Rams demonstrated superior ball control and execution on their home court. With 16 assists leading to precision scoring, they maintained a consistent lead throughout the game. Their offensive prowess was evident with 70 points scored, including 30 points in the paint which underscored their dominance inside.


Defensively, the Rams were just as formidable. They amassed six steals and three blocks, disrupting Wyoming's rhythm and forcing seven turnovers which translated into six points off turnovers for Colorado State. This defensive solidity limited Wyoming's scoring opportunities and kept them at bay.

On the rebounding front, Colorado State outperformed Wyoming with a total of 42 rebounds compared to Wyoming's 34. The tenacity of the Rams' players was on full display as they grabbed 10 offensive rebounds leading to 19 second-chance points – a testament to their relentless effort on both ends of the floor.


The shooting accuracy from within the arc was also notable for Colorado State; converting over half of their two-point attempts highlighted efficient shot selection and execution. However, long-range shots were not falling as expected for either team; both teams struggled beyond the arc with only five three-pointers made each.

Wyoming Cowboys put up a valiant fight despite falling short in several statistical categories. They managed to convert 71 percent from free-throw line but struggled with field goal percentage at just 38 percent overall – an area where they were overshadowed by Colorado State's more effective shooting night.


As fans look ahead after this hard-fought battle at Moby Arena that drew over eight thousand attendees, attention turns toward future matchups that promise more excitement and competition for basketball enthusiasts supporting Colorado State University.
