FORT COLLINS – In his 26th season as a college basketball head coach, Larry Eustachy picked up his 500th career win. Colorado State knocked off Air Force at Moby Arena Saturday afternoon by a final score of 85-58.
The Rams (11-6, 3-1) cruised to victory in the second half, outscoring the Falcons 52-30. It allowed for a brief postgame celebration at midcourt between Eustachy and his players.
But to the Rams’ coach, Saturday meant more to one of his players than himself. The tragic story of Emmanuel Omogbo dealing with the deaths of a number of family members, including his parents, has been well-documented.
