CU basketball looks to end slide against rival CSU Rams

Though he is a native of Texas, Nico Carvacho has made a name for himself in Colorado by turning into as Buffalo killer.

For two straight years, the Colorado State Rams have defeated the Colorado men's basketball team. And for two straight years Carvacho, the Rams' rugged, 6-foot-11 forward, has dominated the paint against the Buffs.

A rivalry that very nearly went on hiatus during the offseason will get renewed for the 128th time Saturday afternoon at the CU Events Center, as the Buffaloes look to finally solve Carvacho and the Rams after losing the past two meetings and three of the past four.
