FORT COLLINS, Colo. – It was a complete game across the board for Colorado State men's basketball as they improved to 3-0 on the year with a 77-52 win over Weber State Monday night. The Rams closed the first half strong and never let WSU cut the lead below 17 points in the final 20 minutes to earn the win.

Ten of the 11 Rams that saw action in the game scored at least a point and CSU recorded 20 assists on 29 makes. Meanwhile, they held Weber State to 33.9% shooting, the lowest percentage an opponent has shot all season.

Colorado State started strong with a pair of threes in their first three shot attempts but then were unable to buy a basket for the next five minutes. Despite the drought CSU only trailed 9-8 before responding by outscoring the Wildcats 28-6 over the final 12:11 of the first half to take a 36-15 lead to the break.

CSU held Weber State to just 5-of-20 from the field in the first half while capitalizing on the long ball with seven made threes.

The Rams offense turned it up in the second half as they shot 61.5% from the field. CSU quickly grew the lead into the 20s and never looked back to cruise to victory.
