LAS VEGAS — Colorado State's loss to Boise State in the first round of the Mountain West tournament officially put an end to Niko Medved's first season with Colorado State.
Now nearly one full year after athletic director Joe Parker made the hire last March, there's plenty to look back on regarding the state of basketball in Fort Collins. The Rams finished 12-20 overall after a 7-11 stint in an up-and-down Mountain West schedule. Here are three takeaways from the 2018-19 Rams and Medved's first season at the helm.
Nico Carvacho a surprise
If I told you last March I expected CSU's forward to make this monumental of a jump from one season to the next, I'd expect some wary glances and sarcastic eye rolls, maybe few knuckles in my cheek.
