The NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament has finally begun after weeks of anticipation and a season of preparation for the Colorado State University Rams.
The No. 6 Rams went into the first round taking on the No. 11 University of Michigan Wolverines in Indianapolis for the first game of the tournament in Gainbridge Fieldhouse, home arena of the NBA Indiana Pacers.
The Rams came out ready for the Big Dance, starting the game strong with several threes to get them an early 14-7 lead in the first half. Colorado State’s tight man defense seemed to be slowing down Michigan while also keeping a leash on 7-foot-1-inch monster Hunter Dickinson.
