For a Colorado State University Rams (9-8, 1-3 Mountain West) men’s basketball team in need of their first conference win of the season, a 79-57 rout of the California State University, Fresno Bulldogs (6-9, 2-2 Mountain West) is a pretty good way to do it.
Just a week after a loss to San Jose State University where the Rams displayed little spirit, they came out against the Bulldogs the complete opposite. The defense was intense from the start, which reflected on the scoreboard, allowing only nine points in the first 10 minutes.
“I thought our spirit was better (at Nevada last week), and clearly it was a lot better here today,” head coach Niko Medved said.
