Colorado State put on a stellar display on both sides of the ball in its 67-42 First Four victory over Virginia on Tuesday night. The Rams shot over 55% from the field and held Virginia to just 25% shooting in a runaway win to advance to the 64-team field.
Colorado State was once as high as No. 13 in the AP Top 25 poll and will look to find that groove in the first round against No. 7 Texas. The Longhorns went one-and-done in the Big 12 Tournament, losing to Kansas State in a tight one. They’ll try to bounce back as a small favorite when the first round tips off in Charlotte.
