The sweet little miracle that is Colorado State basketball got chewed up and spit out by a maize and blue beast. Big bad Michigan 75, Sacrificial Rams 63. by markkiszla MarchMadness
“Listen, I told the guys after , they should be disappointed. We came here to win,” coach Niko Medved said Thursday, after CSU was rudely bounced from the NCAA Tournament by a sleeping Big Ten beast that woke up angry when the Rams fooled around and fell in love with an unsustainable reliance on 3-point shooting.
“For us to flip a team from to 25-6 in about three or four years is very impressive,” Colorado State forward David Roddy said. Somewhere Boyd Grant and Fum McGraw are smiling about how basketball matters again at CSU, and maybe this story was so good it didn’t deserve such an abrupt end. But more times than not, the elemental basketball truths of size and talent win out at the final buzzer.
At 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds, Roddy isn’t round enough to be mistaken for a young Charles Barkley. But only a fool wants to be on the receiving end of the bruises Roddy delivers when he throws his weight around. And NBA scouts have certainly noticed. Roddy projects to be a second-round choice in the 2022 draft. “I think David can play at that level,” Medved said.
