Why Colorado State Will Win

After Friday’s drubbing at the hands of Tulane, Colorado State looks to rebound Sunday to avoid a winless Jamaica trip. The Rams were absolutely throttled by Tulane on Friday, falling behind 20-2 early and failing to get within 17 points the rest of the way. On Sunday, CSU plays a bigger and more talented squad from the ACC. The Rams need a huge game out of Nico Carvacho, who will be sized up with 7-4, 233-pound center Christ Koumadje. FSU has size all across its lineup, so Colorado State needs to be careful and decisive with the basketball. There’s no way CSU shoots and defends nearly as bad as it did on Friday, which should make Sunday’s matchup more competitive.
