2017 NIT: Colorado State defeats Charleston Southern

The Colorado State Rams (24-11) advance to the second round of the National Invitational Tournament. The College of Charleston Cougars (25-10) provided a tough test for the Rams.

Both teams came into this game with similar records and styles of play. Both teams play a slow offense and really intense defense. Both like to shoot the three as the teams combined for 67 3-point attempts.

The game started out evenly; when CSU would go on a run, Charleston would match. It wasn’t until 6 minutes left in the first half that CSU would start to pull away just a little.
