FORT COLLINS — Maybe it was because of who was in the crowd.
Or perhaps the matchup simply suited her game in just the right way. An exact reason escaped her mind, but whatever it was, Ellen Nystrom wasn't complaining.
Sunday was her night from the beginning and the fire never dwindled as Colorado State's do-it-all senior guard pieced together her best offensive performance in an already stellar career.
"I don't know. I got some easy points in the beginning and then I just kinda felt the flow," she said after scoring a career-best 33 points.
