Here are three keys for the Rams to take down the Texas Longhorns in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in Charlotte, N.C.
Isaiah Stevens of the Colorado State Rams smiles during the second half of CSU’s 85-78 win over the Nevada Wolf Pack at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada on Thursday, March 14, 2024. CSU advances to the Mountain West Conference semifinal round to be played Friday. Niko Medved’s CSU Rams proved Tuesday night that their underwhelming seeding in the men’s NCAA Tournament was just that: underwhelming.
He averages 16.2 points on the year and caught his stride toward the end of the regular season. But that number has dropped to 11 since the start of the Mountain West Tournament, including just five points and four assists against Virginia. He leads a deep Texas roster in scoring at 17.1 points per game and also dishes out a team-leading 4.3 assists. And he’s as streaky as they come.
Clifford and forward Joel Scott’s combined 41 points and 21 rebounds were enough to top Virginia, but Medved and the Rams have prided themselves on their depth all year.
