Colorado State dominated Utah State late Friday night to secure a spot in Saturday’s Mountain West Conference tournament championship game. CSU grabbed the first lead of the game and never trailed, defeating the Aggies, 83-72, at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
The Rams won their ninth straight game and advanced to their first Mountain West tournament championship game since 2017. They will face Boise State at 4 p.m. Saturday. Kyan Evans got the scoring started for CSU and the Rams started the game on a 6-1 run and jumped out to a 10-3 lead less than three and a half minutes into the game. Utah State cut the CSU lead to one at 10-9 with 15:31 left in the first half, but that would be as close as the Aggies would get. The Rams took their largest lead of the first half, and the game, on a dunk by Nique Clifford that made it 49-27 with 21 seconds left before halftime. The Aggies made a 3-pointer at the buzzer to cut the CSU advantage to 49-30 at the break.Keeler: Nuggets have eyes on CSU’s Nique Clifford, but Clifford’s got his eyes on carrying Rams back to NCAA TournamentCSU Rams take down San Jose State for program-record 15th conference win After CSU took a 64-36 lead, its largest of the game, with 13:50 remaining, the Aggies began to claw their way back into the contest.
