The Rams are advancing to Charlotte to take on the Texas Longhorns thanks to a dominating win over Virginia in the First Four tournament in Dayton, Ohio.
The Rams beat the Cavaliers 67-42, with 23 points from forward Joel Scott as well as a strong defensive performance from the entire team.
“I think all year we’ve been talking about setting a tone physically, whether that be in the paint, whatever we’re doing offensively, defensively,” CSU’s Joel Scott said to csurams.com. “I think tonight that really showed up, and I think that needs to carry on the rest of the tournament, in the next game at least.”
Rams power past Virginia in First Four
Slotted into the first four, Colorado State's men's basketball team was the last one invited to the Big Dance. The Rams aren't leaving. Rather, they were quite joyous to be catching a red-eye flight to Charlotte, N.C. after a 67-42 victory over Virginia at Dayton Arena. Thursday, the 10th-seeded Rams will face No. 7 Texas in a 4:50 p.m. (MT) tip.
