Colorado State matches its most Mountain West road wins
USAFA – It was a complete team effort as Colorado State picked up its sixth conference road win of the season 77-55 on Tuesday night. The win matches the program's record for Mountain West road wins with the 2016-17 and 2021-22 teams.
How It Happened
- Colorado State struggled in the first half opening the game shooting 3-of-14 from the field and turning the ball over nine times.
- Jalen Lake helped steady the tide for the Rams with 10 points in the final 8:33 of the half. He was 4-of-5 shooting during that span as the team was 6-of-12 to end the half.
- The second half turned into the Kyan Evans show as he scored 18 of his career-high 20 in the half to help the Rams pull away.
- With CSU up by 11 and eight minutes left, Evans scored 13 of the team's next 15 points to put the game away.
Game Notes
- Evans 20-point game makes him the fifth Ram to reach 20 points this year. He was 7-of-11 from the field and dished out a pair of assists.
- Nique Clifford finished his homecoming with 11 points, nine rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks.
- Lake finished the game with 15 points including making a trio of 3s.
- Jaylen Crocker-Johnson scored in double figures for the seventh time in nine games scoring 13 points.
