RENO, Nev. — One step forward, one step back. That seems to be the pattern for this season's Colorado State basketball team.
The Rams followed up perhaps their most complete effort of the season — a 17-point win over New Mexico on Tuesday — by blowing a five-point lead with less than two minutes to play in an 87-80 overtime loss at Nevada on Sunday.
CSU lost its fifth straight road game in fall falling to 15-14 overall and 7-9 in the Mountain West.
Nevada won for the fifth time in its past six games to move to 18-10 and 10-6, clinching a first-round bye in the Mountain West tournament.
