Â
Opening Tip
- Colorado State won a thriller in Las Vegas on Saturday 82-81 in overtime. It was the program's first win at UNLV since 2017.
- Saturday's game was CSU's first time playing in back-to-back overtime games since the 2003-04 season. They played in three straight that year winning all three against San Diego State, UNLV and Wyoming.
- The Rams overcame deficits of four with eight seconds left in the game and 21 seconds left in overtime thanks to Isaiah Stevens sinking a total of four 3s to help earn the win.
- Stevens finished the night with 33 points, nine assists, eight rebounds, two steals and a block. He made a career-high eight 3s in the win and forced the game-sealing turnover.
- With his 33 points on Saturday, he is now in the program's top 5 for scoring with 1,535.
- Stevens is closing in on the program's assists record with 518, 12 away from matching Ryan Yoder's mark of 530.
- Jalen Lake matched his career-high scoring with 13 points, sinking a trio of 3s. He also dished out five assists.
- CSU won the rebounding battle (39-38) for the first time on Saturday since December 11, 2022, against Peru State.
- Patrick Cartier is 10th in the nation shooting 65.6% from the field. The mark leads the Mountain West.
- San Diego State suffered its first conference loss on Saturday falling 76-67 against New Mexico at home. The loss snapped a six-game win streak.
- CSU and SDSU met three times last year with the Aztecs coming away with a 2-1 advantage. The Rams did win on their home court 58-57.
Â
Scouting the Aztecs
San Diego State makes its way to Fort Collins after suffering its first conference loss of the season Saturday. SDSU dropped a home contest to New Mexico 76-67.
Â
Once again in 2022-23, SDSU is known for its stout defense ranking 25th on KenPom for defensive efficiency. A key to their defensive success is forcing turnovers averaging 15.29 per game. Of those 15.29, 8.5 come via steals.
Â
Preseason Mountain West Player of the Year Matt Bradley leads the San Diego State offense averaging 13.5 points and 4.4 rebounds a game. Teammate Darrion Trammell is the only other Aztec to average double figures scoring 11.9 points, but a total of eight players are averaging more than 6.0 ppg.
Â
What's Ahead
Colorado State heads north for the Border War on Saturday. The Rams and Cowboys are set for a 2:00 pm tip on FS1.
