FORT COLLINS — The Colorado State men's basketball team finalized its 2016-17 schedule on Thursday, with no real surprises on the slate.
The Rams' non-league schedule is highlighted by road games at Stanford, Colorado and Long Beach State (their only three non-league road games of the season), a semi-neutral court game against Kansas State at Pepsi Center in Denver and home dates against New Mexico State and Wichita State.
The schedule also includes five home games against teams that finished last season with an RPI of 223 or worse — Maryland Eastern Shore (307), Southeastern Louisiana (332), Alcorn State (252), Northern Colorado (305) and Loyola Marymount (223) — and two against Division II opponents, Fort Lewis and Arkansas-Fort Smith.
