LAS VEGAS — The coaches in the Mountain West must know what they're talking about.
They predicted Colorado State to be the class of the conference once again this season, despite coach Tom Hilbert bringing in seven new players, six of them true freshman. It's been a constant growing process, but it peaked this week as the Rams picked up two key road wins, including Saturday's 25-16, 25-14, 14-25, 25-21 victory over UNLV, leaving CSU as the last unbeaten team in conference play.
"They're facing these road tests in conference, and the leaders are helping them with it," Hilbert said.
