Rams Finish Road Slate at San Jose State

Tip Off
Colorado State will finish the regular season road slate this weekend as it heads to San Jose State for a Saturday contest at 3:00 PM MT. The Rams will look to record back-to-back Mountain West road games for the first time this season.

Recapping Last Week
The Rams were home on Wednesday, hosting Nevada for the annual Education Day. CSU earned the 54-51 matinee victory in front of 6,000 fourth and fifth graders from the Thompson and Poudre School Districts. The Rams kept Wolf Pack to a 25.5 marking shooting and did not have their first lead until late in the third quarter.

What If...
A win on Saturday would move Colorado State to 19-9 overall and 10-7 in the Mountain West. The Rams would improve their winning streak to four - the second longest in the Mountain West. CSU would also move its winning streak against San Jose State six. The 10 wins in the Mountain West would also be the first back-to-back season with double-figure league victories since 2016-17.

Series History
Colorado State and San Sose State will meet for the 28th time in program history and the second time this season. The Rams lead the overall series 21-6 after a 65-49 vicotry earlier this season in a sold out Moby Arena. CSU is 8-3 while playing in San Jose, winning the last two contests.

Record Scorer
Hofschild continues to move closer to the Mountain West's all-time scorer, sitting at 2,092 points, she is No. 2 in conference records and No. 2 at CSU behind Becky Hammon.

Active Leaders
Hofschild is No. 3 among active DI players with 783 assists, behind Caitlin Clark (Iowa) and Lauren Park-Lane (Mississippi State). She also broke into the top active scorers at No. 13 (min. 16 ppg) with 2,130 career points.

Hand In The Face
Colorado State made defense a priority this season and that is why it has the No. 33 defense in the country keeping opponents to a 37.1 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 1.64 mark.
