Colorado State will play at Wyoming for the Border War 2.0 on Saturday night and will be televised by FS1
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Saturday night in the Double A in Laramie, Wyo., is expected to be another battle as Border War 2.0 will be televised on national TV by FS1 at 7:30 p.m. Colorado State earned the victory in the first meeting earlier this season in Moby Arena after Cailyn Crocker hit a last-second 3-pointer to give the Rams the lead. The Border War will also have pivotal implications in the Mountain West standings and in turn the Mountain West Tournament for seeding as there is a log jam for second and third place.
