Recapping Last Week
The Rams hosted San Jose State last weekend, earning a 65-49 victory over the Spartans. The game was sold out as 8,083 fans filled Moby Arena for the first time in 25 years. The game was also CSU's Fight Like A Ram game, where players wore Northern Colorado cancer warriors names on the back of their jerseys.

What If...
A win on Saturday would move Colorado State to 14-6 overall and 5-4 in the Mountain West, while also improving to 5-4 on the road. The Rams would also become 54-18 overall against the Falcons, winning both contests this season and winning the last three in the series.

Series History
Colorado State and Air Force will meet for the second time this season and 72nd time in program history. The Rams lead the series 53-18 and are 24-11 while playing in Clune Arena. The Rams have won the last two games in the series but haven't won on base since 2021.

Dime Leader
With six assists against Wyoming, McKenna Hofschild became the Mountain West's all-time assist leader. She needed four assists entering the Border War and reached that mark in the third quarter with an assist on a Sydney Mech 3-pointer. Hofschild put her name at the top of the all-time assist list at Colorado State earlier this season against South Dakota Mines.

From Downtown
Hofschild has a green light at all times. She is No. 8 in the nation in 3-point shooting holding a 46.0 mark and has made a deep shot in 17 of the 19 games this season.

Conference Baller
Since the start of conference play, there are only two players in the country that are averaging 25 ppg, 6 apg and shooting 45 percent from the floor. McKenna Hofschild and Caitlin Clark.

Record Scorer
Hofschild scored 18 points at Wyoming and moved into the top five for points in the Mountain West. She also moved to No. 2 at CSU with 1,938 behind Becky Hammon.

Active Leaders
Hofschild is No. 3 among active DI players with 730 assists, behind Caitlin Clark (Iowa) and Lauren Park-Lane (Mississippi State). She also broke into the top active scorers at No. 17 (min. 16 ppg) with 1,976 career points.

Hand In The Face
Colorado State made defense a priority this season and that is why it has the No. 42 defense in the country keeping opponents to a 36.9 mark shooting.

Third-Quarter Explosion
Colorado State has been effective coming out of halftime, averaging 5.2 more points than its opponents in the third quarter. The frame is the largest point differential with the highest being 17 against Alabama A&M on Nov. 9. The Rams have been outscored just four times in the third quarter - at UTEP, at LBSU, vs. UNLV, at NEV.

Dish It
McKenna Hofschild leads the country with 7.7 assists per game, while also No. 2 in total dimes with 147. She is averaging over a half an assist more than the next player (Caitlin Clark, Iowa).

Elite Company
As one of the top point guards in the country, McKenna Hofschild is around some good company. In the nation, she is one of two players to average 20+ points and seven assists so far this season, joining Caitlin Clark from Iowa.

Hitting Threes
Last time Colorado State didn't make a 3-point basket was 12 seasons ago against Bowling Green (0-6) on Dec. 31, 2011. Since, the Rams have a three in every game, carrying a 376-game streak with a deep basket.

Protect The Rock
The Rams don't turn the ball over, which is why they lead the nation in fewest turnovers per game with 8.8. CSU has forked the ball over just 167 times, the fewest in the country. The next team in TO/game averages 10.2 (Villanova).

Make It A Double
McKenna Hofschild hasn't wasted any time recording double-marks. The guard has tallied seven double-doubles already this season and has 15 for her career after a 34 points/10 assists performance against UNLV.
