The Rams had something big to play for Wednesday night.
They wanted a 20th consecutive win, and the place in the CSU record book that came with it for stringing together the longest win-streak in program history.
CSU (23-1, 13-0 MW) set the record in dominating fashion over Utah State (11-13, 6-7 MW), winning 91-64 in front of 1,505 fans in Moby Arena to extend its streak started Nov. 27, 2015.
“We broke a school record, obviously that’s awesome,” guard Jamie Patrick said.
Securing a lasting legacy was important to the Rams, and they made that evident right away, coming out firing on all cylinders to open up a 17-point lead, 32-15, at the end of the first quarter.
