FORT COLLINS, CO. — Colorado State’s logo might be a Ram but one of the most important players on the team is a “unicorn”.  Listed at 6-foot-5, 252 pounds, David Roddy looks like he should be cracking skulls on the gridiron or “superplexing” Brock Lesnar in the WWE. As the old adage goes, though, you can’t judge a book by…...

FORT COLLINS, CO. — Every now and then a player completely changes the way you can operate as a team. A player so unique, so talented, that his addition alone makes you significantly more dangerous — partially due to his own talents and skills, but also a mindset and vision that separates him from everyone else on the floor.  For…...

FORT COLLINS, CO. — Clutch.  With the game tied at 73 apiece and just 14 seconds to play, No. 1 Colorado State elected not to call a timeout and instead put the pressure on No. 4 Buffalo by immediately attacking.

But with road wins over San Diego State and Utah State, and now a 22-point beatdown of Boise State to their name, the Rams have officially arrived. …...

FORT COLLINS, CO. — The bigger they are, the harder they fall.  Boise State entered Wednesday night’s matchup as the hottest team in the Mountain West. With a 13-game winning streak to their name and a top 15 NET ranking, the Broncos have quickly established themselves as one of the conference’s best chances for an at-large bid with an aggressive…...

FORT COLLINS, CO. — This team is different.  Just two days after getting absolutely beaten down by Neemias Queta and the Utah State Aggies, the Rams, in front of a national TV audience and a reduced arena crowd of roughly 1,300 people, picked up a gritty 84-76 win in Logan, UT., to keep pace with the top two teams in the…...
