The Cowboys men’s basketball team battled back from 16 points down to take a 76-75 lead with 17 seconds left, but Colorado State guard Prentiss Nixon hit a three of his own with five seconds left to lead the Rams to a 78-76 victory on Feb. 28 in Fort Collins.
The Pokes held CSU scoreless for over four minutes in the midst of an 11-0 run which was started by guard Jason McManamen’s 194th career three pointer, which broke Brandon Ewing’s all-time UW record. The Cowboys hit 12 three-pointers in the game, their seventh straight game with double-digit triples.
