Rams Ready to Rumble: Colorado State Takes on Virginia Cavaliers at UD Arena

As the Colorado State Rams gear up for their next challenge against the Virginia Cavaliers, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The upcoming game, set to take place at UD Arena in Dayton, Ohio, promises to be a thrilling encounter between two formidable teams.

The Rams have been showing a mix of performances recently. In their last game against the New Mexico Lobos on March 16th, they fell short with 61 points against the Lobos' 74. Despite this setback, there were positive takeaways from the game. The Rams demonstrated resilience in rebounding with a total of 44 rebounds and maintained an impressive free throw percentage of 88 percent. However, their three-point shooting was lackluster at just 21 percent.

In contrast, during their quarterfinal match-up on March 15th against Nevada's Wolf Pack – ranked number 23 – CSU emerged victorious with an impressive scoreline of 85-78. Their field goal percentage stood strong at 50 percent and they capitalized on turnovers by scoring an impactful 23 points off them.

One key factor that could play into CSU's hands is their ability to control the paint as evidenced in their first-round Mountain West Conference game on March 13th where they scored a whopping 42 points inside and shot an exceptional two-point percentage of 65 percent.

Looking ahead to facing UVA at UD Arena poses both challenges and opportunities for CSU. The Cavaliers are known for their disciplined defense and methodical offense which means that CSU will need to be efficient in both ends of the court while also minimizing turnovers.

The Rams' fans can expect a battle where every possession counts and where CSU's ability to execute under pressure will be tested thoroughly. It will be crucial for them to establish dominance early in the paint while also finding better consistency from beyond the arc if they wish to secure victory away from home.

With tip-off scheduled for March 19th at precisely seven past seven in the evening (7:07 PM EDT), all eyes will be fixed on truTV as fans tune in hoping that Colorado State can showcase its true potential when it matters most.
