The Colorado State Rams (16-9, 8-4 MW) came into this game against the Utah State Aggies (10-13, 4-8 MW) on a roll, winning four of their last five. Against the Aggies, they extended that to five of their last six.
Both teams had a really quiet first half to start the game. The first points of the game didn’t come until almost 2 minutes into the game on an Emmanuel Omogbo dunk. It took Utah State 5 1⁄2 minutes of game time to score, courtesy of a Koby McEwen 3.
