Roster Size... But Inexperienced
• The Rams started the year with 12 eligible players on the roster. CSU had 14 players available to start the 2018-19 season but only 11 in 2017-18.
• Of those 12 this season, just five were a part of the program last season.
• Returners for the Rams combine for 10 seasons of NCAA Division I experience.

Returning/Lost...By the Numbers
• The Rams added several key newcomers for 2019-20 as Colorado State looked to fill some gaps from last year's production on the floor, though CSU returns a significant portion on all categories despite having just five returners from last year's lineup.
• Here is a quick look at what the Rams returned in major statistical categories:
Category      Returning / Lost      Total           % Return
> Scoring         1449 / 944         2,393             60.6
> Rebounding    737 / 344           1,081              68.2
> Assists           302 / 170            472               64.0
> Blocks             48 / 28              76                63.2
> Steals             124 / 75             199               62.3
> Minutes        4099 / 2326        6,425             63.8

A Big Night At Tulsa
• The Rams had a lot of moments in the triple-overtime win at Tulsa Dec. 21.
• CSU is now 28-36 all-time in overtime games and 1-1 in triple overtime. The previous 3OT game was in 1986-87 at Air Force, a 71-67 loss for CSU (the first year of the three-pointer in the college game)
• The 12 assists by Stevens tied the school record was the first time a Ram had 10 or more in a game since John Gillon handed out 11 against Nevada on Jan. 14, 2015.
• This was the first time this season that CSU has had two players with 20 or more points as well as two players with 10 or more rebounds.
• The last time CSU scored 100 points in a game was Nov. 7, 2018, a 100-66 win to open the year over Colorado Christian.
• The 111 points is the second-most ever scored by CSU against a Division I opponent, the most ever in a road game and the fourth most in school history (119 vs. Fort Lewis in 1992-93, 117 in 1970-71 vs. West Texas A&M (then D-I) and 113 in 1991-92 vs. Fort Lewis)
• The 14 three-pointers tie for the fifth-most in program history, while the 25 assists tie for eighth-most in a game.
• The 55 rebounds are the fourth-most in a single game.

Moby Arena Home Court Advantage
• CSU has a record of 557-238 (.701) record all-time at Moby Arena.
• The Rams had finished at least .500 in each of the last nine years prior to last season. This dated back to the 2008-09 season when the program was 6-9, prior to 2018-19's 8-9 mark.
• Current head coach Niko Medved was part of a coaching staff at CSU that posted two of the top records in program history at home, as the 2012-13 team set the best mark at 16-1 with the 2011-12 team going 14-1. Overall as an assistant at CSU, he was part of a team that went 97-97 overall and 59-30 in Moby Arena and improved their overall record in each successive season.

Basketball Staff
• Head coach Niko Medved brought four members of his staff from Drake with him last season and the crew stayed together for this season. Dave Thorson, JR Blount and Ali Farokhmanesh were assistant coaches with Medved, while Aaron Katsuma joined him again as Director of Basketball Operations. Thorson has extensive experience as a high school coach and had previously worked with Medved at the University of Minnesota. Blount and Farokhmanesh also bring extensive recent playing experience with them as Blount played at Loyola Chicago, graduating in 2009, and Farokhmanesh was a key part of a Northern Iowa squad that knocked off No. 1 Kansas in the NCAA Tournament in his senior year in 2010.

Rams On the Tube
• The Rams' package has 18 televised games, with nine of them occurring at Moby Arena, eight of those nine league contests.
• In the 18 televised games, CSU will appear on the ESPN family of networks eight times, CBS Sports Network five times, AT&T SportsNet on four occasions and Stadium once.

Carvacho Growing On the Floor
• Redshirt-senior center Nico Carvacho showed his increased comfort level on the floor, growing extensively since his freshman year.
• In 2017-18, he averaged 11.1 points and 12.3 rebounds in Mountain West play, leading by a wide margin in rebounding for league games only (next was 9.6 per game).

• Last season, Carvacho was effective, recording double-doubles in a school-record 22 games and averaged a team-high 16.1 points and a nation-leading 12.9 rebounds per game while shooting a league-best 59.2 percent from the floor (31st in NCAA).
• In 2018-19, he led CSU in rebounding in 29 of 32 games including 22 straight before Feb. 23's contest against Wyoming when he was limited to 20 minutes due to fouls.
• At UNLV Jan. 2, 2019, Carvacho set a new career best with 28 points and added 20 rebounds for his second 20-20 game of the year and school-record third of his career.
• Carvacho also was named First Team All-Mountain West and All-Defensive Team by the league's media, in 2018-19.
• In addition, Carvacho was honored on the US Basketball Writers Association All-District squad last season.
• Carvacho started the 2018-19 season No. 20 on the CSU career rebounding chart. With his 12 rebounds against San Diego State Feb. 12, he became the all-time leading rebounder at CSU.
• He now has a Mountain West-record 1097 (tops in NCAA Division I among current active players), passing previous leader Pat Durham (1985-89) at 851.
• Carvacho also is first in CSU offensive rebounds with 376 and in CSU career defensive rebounds with 721 (since tracking of the two categories began).
