Utah State Aggies to Face Off Against Colorado State Rams in Fort Collins Showdown

As the Utah State Aggies prepare to face off against the Colorado State Rams at Moby Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent performance trends. The Aggies have shown a strong offensive game in their past matchups, with an impressive victory over East Tennessee State where they scored 80 points and demonstrated efficient ball movement with 16 assists. Their shooting from the field was solid at 46 percent, and they were particularly effective inside the paint, scoring 34 points.

Defensively, the Aggies have been active as well, racking up steals and blocks that have contributed to fast break opportunities. In their game against East Tennessee State, they managed six steals and two blocks which led to 13 fast break points. This defensive pressure has been a key factor in their ability to control games and will be crucial when facing the Rams.

The team's free throw shooting has also been noteworthy; hitting 67 percent from the line against East Tennessee State is a sign of focus that could prove decisive in close encounters. However, there is room for improvement beyond the arc where they shot only 33 percent.

In terms of rebounding, Utah State has shown tenacity on both ends of the court. They matched East Tennessee State's total rebounds in their last encounter but will need to be vigilant against a Colorado State team that may pose different challenges on the boards.

The upcoming game promises excitement as both teams vie for dominance on February 17th at Moby Arena in Fort Collins. Fans can catch all the action live on CBS Sports Network (channel 221) at what promises to be an electrifying contest between these competitive squads.
