Men’s basketball looks to start win streak at Air Force Tuesday
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Colorado State men's basketball looks to get momentum going heading into the final month of the regular season when they head to Air Force on Tuesday to face the Falcons at 7 p.m.
Opening Tip
- Colorado State ended its three-game losing streak with a 65-57 win over San Jose State on Saturday night.
- The Rams have held opponents under 70 points in four of the past five games. Opponents are averaging 63.0 points per game during that stretch.Â
- CSU's behind Rashaan Mbemba and Jevin Muniz scored 36 points in the win.
- Mbemba recorded his first double-double of the year and second of his career with 11 points and career-high 11 rebounds.
- Jevin Muniz led all Rams with 15 points off the bench to go with six rebounds and five assists.
- CSU recorded its most rebounds in a game this season with 48. All nine Rams that played recorded at least one board with six having four or more.
- Turnovers have hurt the Rams in conference play turning it over 13.0 times per game after committing just 10.9 during non-conference play.
- CSU ranks 127th in the nation and fourth in the Mountain West in assist-to-turnover ratio at 1.30.
- The Rams 15.6 assists per game are the third best in the Mountain West and 91st in the nation.
- Colorado State is assisting on 61.2% of its made field goals on the year, the 26th best mark in the nation.
- CSU's effective field goal percentage of 57.9% is 15th in the nation and second in the Mountain West.
- Colorado State has a pair of Mountain West Players of the Week so far this season in Kyle Jorgensen and Josh Pascarelli.
- Jorgensen's performance over the first week earned him Mountain West Player of the Week honors. The sophomore averaged 20.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steal in the first two games of the season.
- Pascarelli earned his honor after his performance against Colorado (12/6/25). The junior scored 26 points connecting on eight 3-pointers for the second straight game.

- Nique Clifford became the fourth player in program history to be picked in the first round of the NBA Draft in June. Clifford was the 24th pick overall by Oklahoma City with his rights traded to Sacramento.
- Clifford had one of the best seasons in program history his final year. He earned AP All-America honorable mention, was the MVP for the Mountain West Tournament and helped the program earn its first Mountain West title since 2003 by winning the Mountain West Tournament.
Scouting the Falcons
Air Force enters Tuesday looking for its first conference win and to snap a 16-game losing streak.
The Falcons have struggled to score under interim coach Jon Jordan having eclipsed the 60 point mark once.
Leading scorer Caleb Walker has not played since January 13. Kam Sanders is the only other Falcon averaging double figures scoring 11.4 points per game.
What's Ahead
There will be no love lost inside Moby Arena on Valentines Day when the Rams host Wyoming at 2 p.m. CSU will be looking for some Border War revenge after falling to the Cowboys two weeks ago.
