FORT COLLINS — Saturday was just the first of 18 Mountain West games for Colorado State and Boise State.
But with the Rams and Broncos both among the conference's top title contenders, the early January game felt much more like one in mid March. And sure enough, there was some madness at the end as Jamie Patrick's 3-pointer in the final minute lifted CSU to a 68-64 win at Moby Arena.
Patrick's go-ahead 3, off a drive-and-dish by Elin Gustavsson with 17 seconds left to break a 64-all tie, gave the senior guard a season-best 27 points.
