No greater rivalry exists in Fort Collins than the Rocky Mountain Showdown.
For Colorado State men’s basketball, the volume of a true Moby Madness propelled the Rams to victory 91-86 Saturday over Colorado. The Buffs looked rattled at times, but the crowd erupted after every made three by the Rams, elevating Josh Pascarelli to eight 3-pointers off just 1o attempts. Off better perimeter shooting volume, CSU withstood CU’s greater scoring efficiency and rebounding.
Just a year since a disappointing 72-55 Ram loss in Boulder, head coach Ali Farokhmanesh cleaned the slate against the Buffs, starting 1-0 in his tenure against the rivals.
