Larry Eustachy’s offense turns the Paige against Alcorn State
With a trip to Boulder just three days away, Colorado State men’s basketball needed to be sharp in Sunday’s afternoon contest against Alcorn State. The Rams defeated the Braves 80-58 as J.D. Paige scored a career-high 23 points.
Paige got off to a blistering start, scoring eight points in the game’s first eight minutes. He then drove down the lane and finished with his left hand for a three-point opportunity. Paige scored from just about everywhere in the first half, including going 3-of-6 from beyond the arc.
Paige’s 19 points in the opening 20 minutes lifted the Rams to a 44-33 halftime advantage.
