The Path So Far


The Colorado State Rams have demonstrated resilience and skill throughout their journey. In their recent face-off during the Mountain West Championship against Boise State Broncos, they showcased a strategic masterclass. With an impressive 69 points against Boise State's 56, their victory was not just about scoring but how they controlled the game. The Rams' bench contributed significantly with 28 points, highlighting their depth and versatility. Their defense was on point too, limiting turnovers to just eight while forcing 13 on Boise State.


Another notable performance came during the semifinal against Utah State Aggies where CSU triumphed with 83 points over Utah’s 72. This game was a showcase of offensive prowess by CSU; shooting at an effective field goal percentage of 71 percent and converting free throws at a rate of 62 percent which underscored their efficiency under pressure.


Analyzing Strengths and Challenges

However, facing Maryland presents new challenges. The Terrapins have had a formidable season themselves and will look to exploit any gaps in CSU’s armor. For CSU to emerge victorious, maintaining high efficiency both offensively and defensively will be key – especially in minimizing turnovers which have occasionally plagued them this season.
