Rams have six in double figures as the hosts dominate in the contest
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Colorado State enjoyed several early runs and never looked back in a 92-67 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Nov. 10 at Moby Arena. The Rams open the season 2-0 under first-year head coach Niko Medved, while the loss drops the Golden Lions to 0-2.
Colorado State took advantage of a Kendle Moore three pointer to open the game on an 11-4 run in the first five minutes. Following redshirt-junior Nico Carvacho's slam dunk, the Rams would blow the game open on a 17-7 run over the next 5:32, capped off with redshirt-junior Lorenzo Jenkins' shot from beyond the arc giving the Rams a 28-12 lead. The Rams eventually built the lead to 47-28 at the break, keyed by late threes from redshirt-senior J.D. Paige, redshirt-junior Anthony Masinton-Bonner and Lorenzo Jenkins.
The Rams opened out the second half playing sensational defense, preventing Arkansas-Pine Bluff from getting into any sort of a rhythm as the lead grew to 62-33 with 11:16 remaining in the contest. The Rams enjoyed their largest lead of the afternoon at 76-41 after Carvacho slammed home the pass from Masinton-Bonner.
On the game, Colorado State shot 54 percent (27-of-50) from the floor including a stellar 52.2 percent (12-of-23) from beyond the three-point line. Conversely, the Rams stymied the Golden Lions offense to just a 37.9 percent (22-of-58) field goal percentage, including 26.3 percent (5-of-19) on three-point shooting. CSU also won the battle of the boards, outrebounding the Golden Lions 35-32.
Six different Rams reached double-figure scoring in the contest, including all five starters for the second consecutive game. Carvacho led the team in scoring with 18 points and 11 , while freshmen Adam Thistlewood and Moore added 14 and 10, respectively. Masinton-Bonner tallied 13 points and Paige added another 14 points in his first action this season.
