Rams' Strategic Execution


The Colorado State Rams showcased an exceptional game plan that led to their triumph over the Falcons. With a total of 19 assists, they demonstrated superior ball movement and teamwork. Their offensive strategy was highly effective, converting 52 percent of field goals and maintaining an impressive 84 percent from the free-throw line. The team's ability to dominate inside was evident with 38 points scored in the paint and securing a significant lead of up to 23 points during the game.


Nique Clifford emerged as a standout player for the Rams with an all-around performance that included scoring 22 points, grabbing 11 rebounds, and dishing out seven assists. His efficiency on both ends of the floor contributed significantly to his team's success. Jaylen Crocker-Johnson also made notable contributions with his scoring ability by adding 13 points to his team's tally.


Falcons' Efforts Fall Short


Despite their efforts, the Air Force Falcons struggled against a well-prepared Rams defense. They managed only a field goal percentage of 35 percent and were limited to just eight bench points compared to Colorado State's more productive reserves who contributed nineteen points. Although they started strong with a five-point lead early in the game, they couldn't maintain momentum due to turnovers and lower shooting percentages across all categories.


The upcoming match for Colorado State is set against New Mexico Lobos at The Pit in Albuquerque on February 5th at 10:30 PM EDT. Fans can catch this exciting matchup broadcasted on Fox Sports 1 as both teams vie for supremacy in what promises to be another captivating contest.
