Nevada craters late, falls 77-66 to Colorado State

The Colorado State Rams men’s basketball team continued their historic stretch on Tuesday night, pulling away late to earn the 77-66 victory over the Nevada Wolf Pack at Moby Arena on Tuesday night.

The Rams improve to 16-1 — their best 17-game start in program history — and 6-1 in Mountain West play. Dating back to last season, they have now won 13 straight home games, outscoring opponents by 17.5 points per game in such games over that span.

The Wolf Pack, who drop 9-8 and an even 3-3 in conference play, controlled most of the first half — but the two Mountain West foes traded blows like a heavyweight title fight throughout the first 14 minutes of the second half.
