Rams to play 15 games at home in front of Moby Madness crowds
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Colorado State will welcome fans back to Moby Arena for six home non-conference games along with the nine-game home league slate for the 2021-22 regular season, head coach Niko Medved announced today. In all, the Rams will play six neutral-site games along with the nine-conference road games as part of a 30-game regular-season schedule that could include as many as nine teams (6 NCAA, 3 NIT) that competed in postseason action last year.
Â
Following an exhibition game at home against Adams State on Oct. 31, Colorado State will open the regular season in Moby Arena, hosting 2021 NCAA Sweet 16 participant Oral Roberts on Tue., Nov. 9. CSU will then follow it up with two more home contests against Arkansas-Pine Bluff (Nov. 12) and Peru State (Nov. 14), before traveling to the U.S. Virgin Islands for three games in the 2021 Paradise Jam, Nov. 19-22.
Â
CSU returns home for three more non-conference clashes with Northern Colorado (Nov. 27), Little Rock (Dec. 1) and Saint Mary's College (Dec. 4). The Rams then wrap up non-conference action with three neutral games, starting with Mississippi State in Fort Worth, Texas on Dec. 11 in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Classic at Dickies Arena. As announced last Thursday, CSU then plays Tulsa in the Hoop Hype XL College Basketball Showcase back at Dickies Arena on Dec. 18 before traveling to Birmingham, Alabama to play defending-SEC champion Alabama in the inaugural C.M. Newton Classic Dec. 21.
Â
The annual MW Men's Basketball Championship will open on March 9 with three games at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nev., with the title game for the league's automatic NCAA Tournament berth played on Saturday, March 12.
Â
The Mountain West portion of the schedule is subject to change based on the selection of games by the Mountain West national television partners. CBS Sports and FOX Sports will now initiate a selection procedure, which will include the shifting of several games from their current Saturday and Tuesday dates. Additional announcements on television selections and tip times will be made in the coming weeks.
Â
Tickets and new fan-flexible mini-plans for the 2021-22 men's and women's basketball seasons, along with football and volleyball, can be purchased now by contacting the CSU Athletics Ticket Office at 800-491-RAMS (7267), csurams.com/tickets or ramtix@colostate.edu.
