2019-20 Rams Quick Hits
• Colorado State is under the direction of second-year head coach Niko Medved, who took over the helm of the Rams' program in 2018-19. In his seventh season as a head coach, Medved has a 105-114 record overall but improved on the previous season's record in each of his seven years as a head coach, including both years now at CSU.
• The 2019-20 season marks the 116th in the history of the Colorado State men's basketball program. The Rams are 1,276-1,279 (.499) in 2,555 games all-time.
• CSU concluded the 2018-19 season in the Mountain West Tournament first round and finished the year with an 12-20 overall record, including 7-11 in MW play.
• The Rams are hoping to earn their eighth invitation for postseason play in the last 11 years.

The Leaders
• Colorado State Head Coach Niko Medved (Minnesota, '97) is in his second season at CSU as head coach with a 26-27 mark and has an 105-114 overall record is in his seventh season as a head coach.
• Utah State Head Coach Craig Smith (North Dakota, '96) is in his second season with the Aggies with a 43-13 mark and sixth as a Division I head coach overall with a 122-68 record.
• The coaches are very familiar with each other, having been assistant coaches at CSU from 2008-12 under Tim Miles.

A Familiar Face In Fort Collins
• While he may be in just his second season in charge of the program, head coach Niko Medved was already a familiar face around Fort Collins and to Ram fans. Medved previously was on the coaching staff from 2007-13 under two different coaches. He was a key part of recruiting players that helped the Rams to four consecutive postseason appearances, the last two in the NCAA Tournament that included a win over Missouri in 2013.

A Quick Look at Utah State
• Returning four starters and six letterwinners from last season's 28-7 squad that was 15-3 in the Mountain West, tied for the regular season title and won the tournament, the Aggies were the favorite to win the title in the league's preseason poll.
• Senior Sam Merrill was the 2019 MW Player of the Year and has continued playing like that, leading the Aggies in points, three-pointers, minutes, three-point percentage and free throw percentage. Freshman Justin Bean paces the squad in rebounds and blocks, while sophomore Neemias Queta, last year's league Freshman and Defensive Player of the Year, has returned from an early-season injury and is tops in field goal percentage.

History Versus Utah State
• Utah State has the better end of this long-time series, holding a 56-39 win advantage, including a resounding 35-11 margin in Logan. CSU did win two seasons ago in Logan, earning an 84-75 victory for the their second straight road win in the series.
• Last year, the Aggies took both meetings, but it took overtime in Fort Collins for the game to be decided. (box scores on page 19-20).
• CSU leader Niko Medved has an 0-2 record against Utah State as a head coach.

Improvement Always
• Head coach Niko Medved has had extensive success wherever he has coached, both as a head and an assistant.
• As an assistant coach, he helped turn around the CSU program to improving its win totals from his first year in each successive year, ending in four straight postseason appearances.
• He continued that trend at Furman and Drake, improving both programs' win totals from the previous year in each of his five seasons as a head coach, finishing his last three years in postseason play.
• In his first year at CSU in 2018-19, he continued that trend, surpassing the previous season's win totals at CSU, both overall and in Mountain West play.
• This season, the Rams had nine non-conference wins, surpassing last year's total of five. The squad has also won 14 games overall, surpassing last year's total of 12.
• The five-game win streak is the longest for CSU since the Rams won seven in a row during the 2016-17 campaign.

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 combined for 10 seasons of NCAA Division I experience, starting the year.
• However that has not hampered the Rams, as the regular rotation consists of three seniors, two sophomores and four freshmen, with the breakdown below.

Moby Arena Home Court Advantage
