Tip Off
Colorado State will return to the road this weekend, playing at Utah State on Saturday afternoon at 2:00 PM. The Rams will look to snap a five-game road losing streak.

Recapping Last Week
The Rams were idle during the week, but hosted Wyoming last Saturday, earning a 75-70 victory in the Boarder War II. Marta Leimane led the Rams in scoring again with 20. Hannah Ronsiek recorded her first double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds. McKenna Hofschild also added 13 assists and no turnovers.

What If...
A win on Saturday would move Colorado State to 17-9 overall and 8-7 in the Mountain West, while also snapping a five-game road losing streak. The Rams would also push their winning streak against Utah State to nine games.

Series History
Colorado State and Utah State will meet for the 40th time in program history on Saturday. The Rams lead the series 26-13 and are 8-6 while playing in Logan. The Rams have won the last eight games in the series and 21 of the last 25.

Dime Leader
McKenna Hofschild set both the Mountain West and Colorado State career assist records this season. She set the all-time mark for the Rams against South Dakota Mines and the league tally in the first game against Wyoming. The guard will be the first player, men or women, in the Mountain West and Colorado State to record three consecutive 200+ assist seasons.

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.

Third-Quarter Explosion
Colorado State has been effective coming out of halftime, averaging 4.5 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.

Dish It
McKenna Hofschild is No. 2 in the country with 7.3 assists per game, while also No. 2 in total dimes with 188.

Protect The Rock
The Rams don't turn the ball over, which is why they lead the nation in fewest turnovers per game with 9.1. CSU has forked the ball over just 227 times, the fewest in the country. The next team in TO/game averages 10.3 (Villanova).

Record Scorer
Hofschild continues to move closer to the Mountain West's all-time scorer, sitting at 2,054 points, she is No. 3 in the conference records and No. 2 at CSU behind Becky Hammon.

Active Leaders
Hofschild is No. 3 among active DI players with 771 assists, behind Caitlin Clark (Iowa) and Lauren Park-Lane (Mississippi State). She also broke into the top active scorers at No. 15 (min. 16 ppg) with 2,092 career points.

Hand In The Face
Colorado State made defense a priority this season and that is why it has the No. 51 defense in the country keeping opponents to a 37.6 mark shooting.

Ratio'd
Colorado State takes care of the ball, while also creating assists. The Rams are No. 3 in the nation in assist/turnover ratio with a 1.61 mark. McKenna Hofschild is No. 7 in the country with a 2.98 mark, having 63 turnovers to 188 assists in 25 games. Last season she finished the year at No. 2 in the nation with a 3.42 ratio.

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, San Diego and Fresno already this season. CSU will finish the regular season in San Jose.

Making Starts
McKenna Hofschild has started 110 consecutive games that she's appeared in - every game at Colorado State. During those 110 games, she is averaging 18.8 points and 6.7 assists per game in 35.6 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 382-game streak with a deep basket.

Leaving No Doubt
Colorado State holds a +8.0 scoring margin - No. 83 in the nation. The Rams have had seven games where they defeated their opponent by 20+ points, including six games in Moby. CSU holds a +17.5 scoring margin in Moby Arena.
