Rams Ready to Charge Against Bulldogs in Fort Collins Showdown
As the Colorado State Rams gear up for their next challenge at Moby Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a captivating encounter against the Fresno State Bulldogs. The Rams, who have shown both flashes of brilliance and areas needing improvement in recent games, are set to take on a formidable opponent.
In their last game on December 21st against the Mississippi State Bulldogs, CSU displayed an impressive offensive performance despite falling short by seven points. With a final score of 75-82, they showcased their scoring prowess by shooting 49 percent from the field and an outstanding 58 percent from two-point range. However, it was their three-point percentage that left something to be desired at just 36 percent. On the defensive end, they managed four blocks and three steals but were outrebounded by Mississippi State's towering presence under the rim.
The Rams' resilience was also evident in their previous game against UC Irvine Anteaters on December 17th. Despite trailing early on with only 11 points in the first quarter, they fought back to secure a six-point victory with strong second-half performances. Their free-throw accuracy stood out as they hit an impressive 83 percent from the line.
However, one area where CSU needs significant improvement is ball security; turnovers have been a thorn in their side as seen during their narrow loss against Long Beach State Beach where they committed a total of sixteen turnovers leading to fifteen points off turnovers for Long Beach.
The upcoming clash with Fresno State presents an opportunity for redemption and showcases how well-rounded this team can be when firing on all cylinders. The key matchup will likely come down to rebounding and limiting turnovers – two aspects that could tilt the scales in favor of either team.
With home-court advantage and fan support behind them at Moby Arena, there's every reason for optimism among Ram faithfuls that this time around; execution will be sharper and focus tighter when it matters most.
