WICHITA, Kan. — You hear coaches say it all the time. Make shots.
Teams have a hard time pulling out victories when players aren't hitting buckets. Colorado State men's basketball's offense was stagnant from start to finish, ruining an exceptional effort at the other end of the court, falling to Kansas State on the road at Intrust Bank Arena, 61-56, CSU's sixth loss in its past seven games.
It stings even more considering poor defense and lack of rebounding were pointed at as primary culprits for Colorado State's recent struggles, yet the Rams were strong in both areas Saturday, pulling down 36 boards (10 offensive) and limiting the Wildcats to only 43 percent shooting (22 of 51) from the floor.
