Tip Off
Colorado State begins the new year and its home Mountain West schedule hosting reigning league champion and preseason favorite UNLV on Saturday at 1:00 p.m., in Moby Arena.

What If...
A win on Saturday would move Colorado State to 10-3 overall and 6-1 in Moby Arena. The Rams would also improve to 33-24 overall against the Rebels and snap a four-game skid in the series. It would also be the first home win against UNLV since the 2020 season - a two game streak.

Recapping Last Week
The Rams had their mid-week bye after playing at San Diego State last weekend. CSU opened Mountain West play against the Aztecs, suffering a 74-71 overtime loss to SDSU. Colorado State has lost the last five games in Viejas Arena.

Series History
Colorado State and UNLV will meet for the 57th time in program history on Saturday afternoon. The Rams lead the overall series 32-24 and are 18-7 while playing in Moby Arena. CSU has struggled in the series recently, losing seven of the last nine games, including the last two played at home.

Golden State Resident
Colorado State will visit California a total of five times this season, playing in all the major areas. The Rams have visited San Francisco, Long Beach and San Diego already this season. CSU will still visit Fresno and San Jose this season.

Frequent Flyer
Colorado State wasn't scared to leave Moby Arena during its non-conference schedule, playing in a majority of the regions west of the Mississippi River. The Rams traveled about 6,150 miles before Mountain West play began, visiting Texas, Montana and California twice.

Leaving No Doubt
Colorado State holds a +14.5 scoring margin - No. 56 in the nation. The Rams have had six games where they defeated their opponent by 20+ points, including five games in Moby. CSU holds a +24.5 scoring margin in Moby Arena.

Third-Quarter Explosion
Colorado State has been effective coming out of halftime, averaging 7.1 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 twice in the third quarter - at UTEP and at Long Beach State

Solid Defense
Colorado State made defense a priority this season and that is why they are the No. 27 defense in the country keeping opponents to a 30.1 mark shooting.

Dish It
McKenna Hofschild leads the country with 8.8 assists per game, while also No. 2 in total dimes with 106. She is averaging a whole assist more than the next player (Rori Harmon, Texas).
Making Starts
McKenna Hofschild has started 97 consecutive games that she's appeared in - every game at Colorado State. During those 97 games, she is averaging 18.1 points and 6.8 assists per game in 35.4 minutes per game.

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 369-game streak with a deep basket. Since Ryun Williams has been Head Coach, the Rams have hit a 3-point basket in every game.

Dime Leader
McKenna Hofschild put her name on the top of the all-time assist list at Colorado State. In the game against South Dakota Mines the guard dished out 14 assists in the win and now holds the title of assist leader 585 and counting.

League History
With her 12 assists at San Diego State last weekend, McKenna Hofschild continues to climb the all-time Mountain West assist record. Currently she is third in league history and is 32 away from claiming the title.

Protect The Rock
Colorado State doesn't turn the ball over, which is why it leads the nation in fewest turnovers per game with 8.8. The Rams have forked the ball over just 105 times, the lowest in the country. The next team in turnovers/game averages 10.1 (Villanova).

Ratio'd
Colorado State takes care of the ball, while also creating assists. The Rams are No. 1 in the nation in assist/turnover ratio with a 1.82 mark. McKenna Hofschild is No. 10 in the country with a 3.79 mark, having 28 turnovers to 106 assists in 12 games. Last season she finished the year at No. 2 in the nation with a 3.42 ratio.

Make It A Double
McKenna Hofschild hasn't wasted any time recording double-marks. The guard has tallied six double-doubles already this season, including four in the last six games. She has 14 for her career after a 34 points/12 assists performance against San Diego State.

Up Next
Colorado State will continue Mountain West action at Fresno State on Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. MT.
