RAM TALK

Protect The Rock: The Rams do a lot of good things, but one of their secrets to success is actually something they DON'T do: Turn the ball over. The Rams have led the nation in fewest turnovers per game each of the last three seasons, coughing it up only 9.1 times per game in 2023-24. Despite the new-look roster, that trait has passed down to this year's squad as the Rams are giving up an average of just 8.8 turnovers, which is top of the country once again and the only mark below 10.8. Over the past decade of women's college basketball, only two programs have averaged less than nine turnovers a game across a season: Villanova (2014-15, 2015-16), and Colorado State (2022-23).
Among The Best: Emma Ronsiek has been one of the most well-rounded players in the country this season with her ability to impact the game in multiple ways. Ronsiek is one of only 11 players nationally to average 18.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists against Division 1 opponents this season, joining the likes of women's basketball stars JuJu Watkins (Southern California) and Lauren Betts (UCLA).
Sisters Are Serving: Sisters Emma and Hannah Ronsiek have lived up to the hype of their reunion as they combine to average 26.9 points and 11.9 rebounds per game. Together the sisters lead the Rams in nearly every major statistical category, including points (Emma, 17.7), rebounds (Hannah, 6.0), assists (Emma, 2.7), steals (Hannah, 1.4) and blocks (Hannah, 0.9).
60's The Limit: Colorado State has been one of the top defensive teams in the Mountain West, holding opponents to just 37.2% shooting from the field (1st in MW, 32nd nationally) and limiting teams to just 60.6 points per game (2nd in the MW). 60 has been the target number for the Rams defensively as 16 of their 22 wins this season have come when holding their opponents below that mark. CSU is a perfect 16-0 when holding opponents below that 60-point limit.
Quite The Career: Emma Ronsiek has enjoyed an incredible college basketball career and has been one of the most prolific players in the nation across the past five seasons. Ronsiek is one of just three active players to record 2,000 points, 750 rebounds and 350 assists in their NCAA DI careers, and is the only one playing in the Mountain West this season.
Don't Put Them On The Line: The Rams have not wasted their chances at the free-throw line this season, shooting 78.3% from the line as a unit which is first in the Mountain West and 16th nationally. CSU's pair of Division I transfers have each been among the best free-throw shooters in the country over the past couple of seasons. Emma Ronsiek was the 12th-best shooter from the charity stripe last year, making 122-of-137 attempts (89.1). Hannah Simental was sixth in the nation with a 91.2% clip (104-114) in 2022-23, but did not take enough attempts to qualify for national rankings last season. Against Boise State, Ronsiek tied the program's best shooting performance from the charity stripe with a 12-for-12 performance.
Ryun "W"illiams: The winningest coach in program history, Ryun Williams earned the 250th victory of his 13-season career at Colorado State earlier this season. Williams has also collected the most Mountain West wins among active coaches in the league, passing Boise State's Gordy Presnell over the course of this season. Williams' 144 wins in MW play are second only behind Joe Legerski's 159 (Wyoming, 2003-19).
Closing Time: Colorado State rarely gives up its leads as the Rams are 18-2 when leading after the first quarter this season. CSU has closed out wins at a good rate, posting a 17-2 record when leading at halftime and a 20-1 record when on top entering the fourth quarter.
