The Colorado State Rams men's basketball team defeated the Air Force Falcons 91-74 on Tuesday at Clune Arena in Colorado Springs. CSU shot an impressive 54.5% from the field, 53.8% from 3-point range, and 80.6% from the free-throw line to secure their second consecutive victory after beating San Jose State on Saturday.

Why it matters

This back-to-back win is significant for the Rams, as it marks the first time they have won two games in a row since a five-game winning streak earlier in the season. The strong shooting performance against Air Force demonstrates the team's offensive firepower and ability to bounce back after a rough patch.

The details

Colorado State dominated the game, leading wire-to-wire and never trailing the Falcons. The Rams' efficient shooting, particularly from beyond the arc and the free-throw line, proved to be the difference-maker. This victory comes just a few days after the Rams defeated San Jose State, indicating that the team may be finding its rhythm as the Mountain West Conference schedule continues.
