Rams Dominate Aztecs in Commanding Victory at Moby Arena
The Colorado State Rams showcased a dominant performance against the San Diego State Aztecs, ending with a decisive 82-50 victory. The Rams' season record now stands at an impressive 12-5, while the Aztecs fell to a 9-8 mark after this encounter.
From the opening quarter, the Rams set the tone with a solid defense and an aggressive offense. They outscored their opponents in every quarter, starting with a 12-3 lead and wrapping up with an assertive final period at 25-15. The home team's shooting was particularly effective; they hit an impressive 52 percent from the field and were even more lethal from close range, converting 60 percent of their two-point attempts.
The Rams' superiority was evident in several aspects of their game. Their defensive efforts resulted in five blocks and five steals, directly contributing to their fast break points tally of eight. Moreover, they capitalized on turnovers by scoring 25 points off them. On top of that, Colorado State's players worked cohesively to distribute the ball effectively as evidenced by their nineteen assists.
Rebounding was another area where Colorado State excelled; they collected thirty-five rebounds compared to San Diego State's thirty. This included twenty-nine defensive boards which helped limit second-chance opportunities for the Aztecs who only managed one second-chance point throughout the game.
San Diego State struggled to find consistency in their shooting despite making six three-pointers at a respectable rate of forty-three percent from beyond the arc. However, they could not match this efficiency inside as they made just ten out of thirty-four two-point shots for a lowly twenty-nine percent conversion rate.
Looking ahead for Colorado State fans is another opportunity to support their team when they host Fresno State Bulldogs at Moby Arena on February 7th at 6:30 PM local time (Mountain Time Zone). The game will be available for viewing pleasure so fans can catch all live action as it unfolds on court.
