I’ll lean toward the Rams. Colorado State started a bit slowly in their home win over Fresno State this week but it all worked out in the end. The Rams shot 44.8 percent from the field in that one with a 31-30 rebounding edge and 13 points off 12 Bulldogs turnovers. Colorado State has won six straight games now, scoring 74 or more points in each of the last five along the way.
Back on February 7 when these teams last met up, Colorado State took a victory at home 65-57. The Rams didn’t shoot great in that one (37.9 percent) but neither did the Spartans 935 percent). Colorado State added a 45-25 rebounding edge and a 30-22 advantage on the boards. The Rams should have the advantage in this one as well if all goes to plan.
