Second half comeback rallies Rams to season opener win

FORT COLLINS – Just days after their star player was arrested for the second time in the last 16 months, Colorado State found a way to win a basketball game without Gian Clavell. The Rams knocked off New Mexico State in Moby Arena 64-61 Sunday afternoon.

CSU couldn’t have looked much worse offensively in the first half, shooting just 26 percent from the field, including 1-of-11 from three-point range. Couple that with the Aggies’ struggles to put the ball in the basket and it made for an ugly first 20 minutes.

The Rams and Aggies combined for 23 personal fouls and 16 turnovers heading into halftime with New Mexico State leading 32-29.
