Colorado State simply ran out of gas Sunday afternoon.
The Rams, who have now lost four in a row in the road, were able to tie the game with 0.4 seconds left in regulation on a pair of free throws by senior Joe De Ciman, but couldn’t hang with the Nevada Wolf Pack in the extra period, falling 87-80 at the Lawlor Events Center in Reno.
CSU held a five-point lead with just under two minutes to go in regulation, but Nevada’s Tyron Criswell and DJ Fenner hit seven of eight free throws in the final 1:06, taking a 69-67 lead with four seconds to go.
