Colorado State Preview
Colorado State is averaging 76.7 points per game while shooting 49 percent from the field and 39.1 percent from three. The Rams have been efficient across the board, posting 15.8 assists per game and knocking down 77.2 percent from the free-throw line. Brandon Rechsteiner leads the team with 12.0 points per game, but this is a balanced rotation with four players averaging double figures, including Kyle Jorgensen at 11.8 and Carey Booth at 10.4.

San Jose State Preview
San José State averages 71.3 points per game and shoots 43.1 percent from the floor. The Spartans rely heavily on Colby Garland, who is putting up 19.5 points and 4.5 assists per game while shooting 49 percent overall and 86.4 percent from the line. Adrian Myers contributes 10.1 points and a team-high 4.3 rebounds, and Yaphet Moundi adds 12.5 points and 7.6 rebounds in limited appearances. The Spartans have dropped three of the last five, though recent wins over Air Force and Nevada show some offensive upside. San José State allows 77.5 points per game, which has made it tough to keep pace against efficient offenses.
Colorado State vs San Jose State Prediction
Colorado State’s 49 percent shooting against a Spartans defense allowing 77.5 points per game is the clearest edge on the board. The Rams also hold a rebounding advantage at 32.8 per game compared to San José State’s 30.0, and that should translate into second-chance points. Garland can keep San José State competitive for stretches, but the overall depth and shooting efficiency of Colorado State stand out.
