On Tuesday, tragedy struck the Colorado State Rams men’s basketball community.
Junior Emmanuel Omogbo’s parents as well as his two-year old niece and nephew died in a house fire in Chillum, MD, just outside of Washington D.C.
Omogbo, a Nigerian native, was raised in Hyattesville, MD. After playing for two seasons at South Plains College, Omogbo transferred and was enjoying a solid season with Colorado State, averaging 11.4 points and 7.4 rebounds.
Tonight, his Rams take on the rival Air Force Academy Falcons (10-8, 1-4 MW) in Colorado Springs. He’s unlikely to play.
But, what fans can do to support Omogbo is go to the GoFundMe page which was created by Colorado State University and donate money to help the 20-year old man through this incredibly tough time.
