CHICAGO – Colorado State men's basketball hit the road for the first time this season and packed its defense with them on the way to an 80-69 victory over Loyola Chicago Sunday afternoon.
The Rams held the Ramblers to 25.0% shooting in the first half, including without a field goal in the final 7:32.

- Up 12 at the break, Colorado State took control of the game early in the second half with an 11-1 run.
- It was capped off a trio of 3s from Jevin Muniz, Brandon Rechsteiner and Jase Butler.
- The lead grew to as much as 26 with Loyola Chicago closing the gap late, with the game out of reach.
Game Notes
- Kyle Jorgensen and Brandon Rechsteiner led the team with 15 points each. The due each had three 3-pointers.
- Jorgensen added in six rebounds and three assists.
- Carey Booth finished a rebound shy of his third straight double-double with 11 points and nine rebounds.
