FORT COLLINS — Due largely to its self-admitted poor defense, Colorado State basketball suddenly finds itself in the midst of a two-game losing streak after a surprising 5-0 start to the season.
Next up for the Rams? None other than rival Colorado, the one non-conference foe that's actually been able to help fill the seats at Moby Arena over the years.
When the two teams tip Sunday at noon, the Rams (5-2) will be just two days removed from a disheartening 83-77 loss to Long Beach State, the fifth-straight game allowing at least 80 points.
