The Mountain West champion Wolf Pack will be the number one seed in next week’s conference tournament, while the Rams (21-10, 13-5) draw the number two seed.
CSU came out shooting, hitting 6-of-12 and jumping out to an early 14-8 lead. The Rams had success on both ends of the floor, getting balanced scoring and closing out on Nevada shooters.
